Fri Jun 27 11:21:49 UTC 2025: ## Sensex and Nifty Soar for Fourth Straight Session on Foreign Fund Inflows

**Mumbai, June 27, 2025** – Indian equity markets continued their upward trajectory for the fourth consecutive session on Friday, fueled by robust foreign fund inflows and positive global cues. The BSE Sensex climbed 303.03 points (0.36%) to close at 84,058.90, while the NSE Nifty rose 88.80 points (0.35%) to 25,637.80.

The rally was primarily driven by strong buying activity in blue-chip stocks like ICICI Bank and Reliance Industries. Investor confidence was further bolstered by a strengthening rupee against the U.S. dollar and a decline in international crude oil prices.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) played a significant role, purchasing equities worth ₹12,594.38 crore on Thursday, June 26th. This influx of foreign capital signifies a shift in investor sentiment towards the Indian market.

“Key catalysts like the ceasefire in the Middle East and optimism on easing trade tensions ahead of the deadline have cleared the clouds in the minds of investors,” stated Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited. “After consecutive days of selling, FIIs have turned into net buyers in the domestic market, contributing to improved market stability in the near term.”

Among the Sensex gainers were Asian Paints, UltraTech Cement, Power Grid, ICICI Bank, Reliance Industries, Hindustan Unilever, Bharat Electronics, and Sun Pharma. Conversely, Trent, Eternal, Axis Bank, and Titan lagged behind.

Asian markets presented a mixed picture, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 closing higher, while South Korea’s Kospi, Shanghai’s SSE Composite index, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng ended in the red. European markets were trading positively in the afternoon.

Adding to the positive sentiment, an RBI report suggested that banks should lower lending rates to facilitate the transmission of the policy rate cut implemented earlier this month.

This continued market rally indicates a growing confidence in the Indian economy and its potential for growth.
