The Indian stock market delivered a robust performance on October 15, 2025, with the BSE Sensex soaring 575 points, or 0.70 per cent, to close at 82,605.43, while the Nifty 50 climbed 178 points, or 0.73 per cent, to settle at 25,323.55. The rally, fueled by positive global cues and expectations of US Federal Reserve rate cuts, saw the market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms rise to ₹464 lakh crore from ₹460 lakh crore, adding ₹4 lakh crore to investors’ wealth in a single session. Midcap and Smallcap indices outperformed, gaining 1.07 per cent and 0.78 per cent, respectively, reflecting broad-based buying across segments.
Global markets set an upbeat tone, with Europe’s CAC 40 jumping over 2 per cent and Asia’s Kospi, Nikkei, and Hang Seng rising nearly 2 per cent. US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s comments on a weakening job market hinted at potential 25-basis-point rate cuts at the upcoming FOMC meetings on October 28-29 and December 9-10, boosting investor confidence. In India, sectoral indices like Nifty Realty (up 3.04 per cent), PSU Bank (1.67 per cent), Metal (1 per cent), and FMCG (1 per cent) led the gains, while Nifty Bank and Financial Services rose 0.54 per cent and 0.91 per cent, respectively.
The market saw strong participation, with 38 Nifty 50 stocks ending higher, led by Bajaj Finance (4.07 per cent), Nestle India (3.98 per cent), and Bajaj Finserv (3.14 per cent). However, Infosys, Bajaj Auto, and Tata Motors were among the top losers, declining up to 1.04 per cent. On the BSE, 2,503 stocks advanced against 1,659 decliners, with 149 stocks, including Canara Bank and L&T Finance, hitting 52-week highs, while 137, such as Godrej Agrovet, touched 52-week lows. High trading volumes were recorded in counters like Vodafone Idea (76 crore shares) and Tata Silver ETF (15 crore shares).

Technical analysts remain optimistic about the Nifty’s trajectory. Ajit Mishra of Religare Broking noted that the index is poised to test the 25,450 trendline resistance, with a breakout potentially pushing it to 25,650. Bajaj Broking highlighted the Nifty’s bullish candle formation, signaling sustained positive momentum, with immediate support at 25,000–25,100. As long as the index holds above this zone, analysts advocate a “buy on dips” strategy, projecting further upside towards 25,450–25,500.
