Markets fall as commerce deal uncertainty, international fund outflows weigh on buyers sentiment

Benchmark fairness indices Sensex and Nifty fell in early commerce on Tuesday (July 29, 2025), extending their downward journey to the fourth day working, amid uncertainty associated to the India-U.S. commerce deal and protracted international fund outflows.

The 30-share BSE Sensex dropped 270.77 factors to 80,620.25 in opening commerce. The 50-share NSE Nifty dipped 71.25 factors to 24,609.65.

From the Sensex companies, Eternal, Infosys, Bharat Electronics, ICICI Bank and Asian Paints had been among the many greatest laggards.

However, Reliance Industries, Tata Motors, HCL Tech, Bharti Airtel and Trent had been among the many gainers.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities price ₹6,082.47 crore on Monday (July 28, 2025), in response to alternate information.

“There are more headwinds than tailwinds for the market now. The major issue weighing on markets is that the expected trade deal between India and the U.S. has not happened so far and the probability of a deal before the August 1 deadline is becoming lower. Sustained FII selling is impacting the market despite the DIIs (Domestic Institutional Investors) buying,” VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited, mentioned.

In Asian markets, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index, Shanghai’s SSE Composite index and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng traded decrease whereas South Korea’s Kospi quoted in optimistic territory.

The U.S. markets ended on a combined word on Monday.

Global oil benchmark Brent crude traded 0.04 % up at $70.07 a barrel.

Stock markets declined for the third day on Monday (July 28, 2025).

The Sensex tanked 572.07 factors or 0.70% to settle at 80,891.02 on Monday. The Nifty declined 156.10 factors or 0.63% to 24,680.90.
