In a day marked by volatility, the Sensex has experienced a notable decline, currently trading at 81,783.57, reflecting a loss of 400.60 points or 0.49%. This downward trend comes as the index remains below its 50-Day Moving Average, which itself is positioned above the 200-Day Moving Average, indicating a potential shift in market sentiment.
Among the large-cap stocks, Bajaj Finance has emerged as a significant underperformer, while Coforge stands out as a top gainer, showcasing resilience in a challenging market environment. Mid-cap stocks are trading flat, with Phoenix Mills leading the mid-cap gainers, while APL Apollo Tubes faces a notable decline.

The broader market sentiment is reflected in the advance-decline ratio across the BSE500, with a stark contrast of 89 advances against 410 declines. This suggests a cautious approach among investors, as only a handful of sectors are managing to stay afloat amidst the prevailing market conditions.

As investors look ahead, upcoming earnings reports from companies like Kotak Mahindra Bank and Balkrishna Industries on July 26, 2025, will be closely watched for insights into their financial health and market positioning.
