Today\u2019s market performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The major Indian indices ended Wednesday, 13\u202fAug\u202f2025<\/strong>, on a positive note as easing inflation data and strong global cues buoyed investor sentiment. Tamer\u2011than\u2011expected US inflation and India\u2019s July CPI drop to 1.55\u202f% (lowest since 2017) raised expectations of central\u2011bank rate cuts. Falling crude prices (~USD\u202f66\/bbl), optimism about an August\u202f15 US\u2013Russia ceasefire meeting on Ukraine, and resilient corporate earnings also supported the rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What moved the market?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Softening inflation:<\/strong> India\u2019s July CPI eased to 1.55\u202f%, the lowest since 2017, while US CPI came in lower than expected. This fuelled hopes for rate cuts by both the RBI and the US Federal Reserve, boosting rate\u2011sensitive sectors such as auto and realty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Global optimism:<\/strong> Asian markets were largely higher (Nikkei +1.3\u202f%, Hang\u202fSeng +2.6\u202f%), and US indices rallied in the previous session. Expectations of a possible ceasefire breakthrough at the 15\u202fAug US\u2013Russia meeting lifted market mood.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Falling oil prices:<\/strong> Brent crude slipped to around USD\u202f66\/barrel, a two\u2011month low, easing inflationary concerns and supporting margins for energy\u2011intensive companies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  • Rate\u2011cut expectations:<\/strong> Traders priced in a >90\u202f% probability of a US Fed rate cut in September, with additional cuts possible later in the year; domestic rate\u2011cut hopes also increased.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Market direction:<\/strong> After a strong session, further gains may hinge on continued global momentum and domestic macro data.

          • Key catalysts:<\/strong> Market participants will monitor international developments (US and Europe inflation data, Federal Reserve commentary) and domestic corporate earnings. Any clarity on trade\u2011tariff negotiations could sway sentiment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Sector outlook:<\/strong> Metals, auto and healthcare could continue to perform well if positive earnings momentum persists, while banks and FMCG might remain subdued amid profit\u2011taking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
