Market Analysis (Nifty 50) 12August' 2025
(FIIs remain net sellers, India halts U.S. defense deals amid tariffs, Dow surges 400+ points on inflation data and Fed rate cut hopes)
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remain consistent net
sellers in the Indian equity markets, with a clear trend of capital withdrawal
and redeployment into other Asian economies offering more attractive valuations
and growth opportunities. Their participation in the derivatives segment is
significantly subdued, indicating a lack of confidence in near-term market
momentum. Data-driven sentiment indicators continue to point towards a bearish
undertone.
On the geopolitical front, India has temporarily halted several major defense
procurements from the United States, including Stryker combat vehicles, Javelin
missiles, and Boeing aircraft. This decision coincides with the imposition of
steep 50% tariffs on Indian oil imports from Russia — the highest rate among
major trading partners — intensifying trade tensions and potentially impacting
future bilateral defense and economic agreements.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., equity markets rallied sharply as the Dow Jones
Industrial Average surged over 400 points following an encouraging inflation
report. The data strengthens market expectations that the Federal Reserve will
proceed with an interest rate cut, providing a potential boost to global
liquidity and risk appetite in the short term. However, whether this positive
sentiment will translate to Indian markets remains uncertain given prevailing
domestic and geopolitical headwinds.
