In today's trading session, the market is experiencing a notable uptick, with the Sensex currently at 80,916.64, reflecting a gain of 316.73 points. This positive momentum is largely driven by large-cap stocks, which have shown resilience despite the index trading below its 50-day moving average. The 50-day moving average itself remains above the 200-day moving average, indicating a potential bullish trend in the longer term.
Among the top performers, Pidilite Industries has emerged as a significant gainer in the large-cap segment, while UPL leads the mid-cap category. The overall advance-decline ratio across the BSE500 shows a healthy balance, with 288 stocks advancing against 209 declining, suggesting a favorable market sentiment.

Investors are keenly awaiting upcoming results from major companies such as Bharti Airtel, Castrol India, and Gujarat Gas, scheduled for August 5, 2025. These earnings reports could further influence market dynamics and investor confidence. As sectors fluctuate, the metal sector stands out with a gain of 1.70%, while the power sector faces some challenges, declining by 0.42%. Overall, the market's current trajectory reflects a cautious optimism among investors.
