🔍 Market Recap: Last Trading Day (April 11, 2025)

On the last trading session (Friday), the Indian stock markets bounced back sharply, showing a positive sentiment across sectors.

✨ Key Indices Performance:

• Sensex closed at 75,157.26, up by 1.77%

• Nifty 50 ended at 22,828.55, gaining 1.92%

• Nifty Bank surged 1.52%, closing at 51,002.35

• BSE SmallCap Index jumped 3.04%

Despite this rise, the Sensex is still down nearly 1.9% YTD, reflecting mixed sentiment among investors since the start of the year.

📊 Sectoral Highlights

🏦 Banking & Financials

• ICICI Bank shares rose modestly by 0.87% to ₹1,311.85.

• Kotak Mahindra Bank outperformed its peers, climbing 2.85%.

🚗 Automobile Sector

• Maruti Suzuki gained 1.23%, closing at ₹11,602.80.

• However, other automakers like Eicher Motors and Ashok Leyland showed even stronger momentum.

💍 Luxury & Consumer Goods

• Titan Company shares surged by nearly 5% following a 25% YoY revenue boost in its jewellery segment. The rise was driven by strong demand for premium gold ornaments amidst rising global gold prices.

🌐 Global Market Impact

International markets are reacting to fresh developments in the US-China trade tensions. Recently, US President Donald Trump announced a pause on some tariffs, which led to a short-term rally in American indices (the Dow Jones jumped over 600 points).

However, heightened uncertainty continues due to new tariff hikes on Chinese imports and expected retaliatory measures from China. These global tensions could influence Indian market sentiment in the coming sessions.

🔮 What to Watch This Week

• Market Holiday: April 18 (Friday) for Good Friday.

• Q4 Earnings Season: Investors are watching for results from key players like Zomato, Nykaa, and Swiggy, which are expected to show mixed growth and profitability amid rising operational costs and shifting consumer preferences.

• Gold Prices: Likely to impact jewellery-related stocks like Titan, as demand for gold remains strong both globally and domestically.

✍️ Final Thoughts

As we head into a truncated trading week, markets are likely to remain volatile, driven by global cues, corporate earnings, and commodity price movements.
