Indian Stocks Poised for Dip as Global Markets Struggle
20 Aug
Summary
- Asian and US markets fell, weighing on Indian indices
- Sensex and Nifty 50 gained in previous 4 sessions
- Positive outlook driven by government support and robust institutional flows
On August 20, 2025, the Indian stock market is poised to open lower, as the domestic equity benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are expected to follow the weakness in global markets. Asian markets fell, while the US stock market ended mostly lower, weighed down by selling in tech stocks.
However, the Indian stock market had extended its rally in the previous sessions, with the Sensex and Nifty 50 ending higher for four consecutive sessions. The Sensex gained 370.64 points, or 0.46%, to close at 81,644.39, while the Nifty 50 settled 103.70 points, or 0.42%, higher at 24,980.65.
Despite the expected dip, the positive momentum is likely to continue, supported by sector-specific relief measures, ongoing government policy support, and robust institutional flows. These factors are expected to sustain market activity and drive confidence across key sectors over the near term.
