Indian Stocks Defy Global Volatility, Nifty50 Holds Steady
13 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Nifty50 and BSE Sensex open lower but maintain resilience
- Analysts see positive trend as Nifty50 sustains above key averages
- FII buying and short-covering help Indian markets stay buoyant
As of October 13, 2025, the Indian equity benchmark indices, Nifty50 and BSE Sensex, opened in the red, with Nifty50 trading near 25,200 and BSE Sensex down over 280 points. However, the markets have maintained resilience, with analysts observing a positive trend.
LKP Securities' Senior Technical Analyst Rupak De noted that Nifty's emergence from consolidation has maintained market optimism, stating that "the trend continues to stay positive as it is sustaining above critical moving averages. The setup looks favorable for a further rise in the short term." Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments Limited, also commented on the stability returning to global stock markets after the previous Friday's sell-off triggered by President Trump's threat to impose additional tariffs on China.
Domestically, the consistent buying by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) has imparted stability to the Indian market. During the last four trading days, FIIs had bought stocks worth Rs 3,289 crores. The uptrend in the market has also led to short-covering, helping the market turn resilient. Analysts suggest that domestic consumption themes, which will not be impacted by trade skirmishes, are likely to witness accumulation by institutional buyers.
