As the Indian financial markets entered their customary weekend break, Saturday, June 28, 2025, saw no trading activity across the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). This routine closure meant a quiet day for institutional investors, with no fresh data emerging on the crucial FII and DII flows that often dictate market sentiment.
Market Snapshot
The Indian stock market observes a five-day trading week, operating from Monday to Friday. As such, Saturday, June 28, 2025, was a non-trading day for both the equity and derivatives segments. This absence of market operations meant that benchmark indices like the Nifty 50 and Sensex remained unchanged from their previous closing levels. Investors and traders typically use weekends for research, strategy formulation, and to digest global cues ahead of the next trading week.
Institutional Flows: Cash Market
With the stock exchanges closed for the weekend, there were no transactions in the cash market segment. This naturally translates to zero FII and DII activity for Saturday, June 28, 2025. Institutional flow data, which tracks the net buying or selling by foreign and domestic funds, is exclusively generated from active trading sessions. Regular trading in the equities segment takes place on weekdays, except on national holidays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Derivatives Market Activity
Similar to the cash market, the derivatives segment, including equity derivatives and currency derivatives, also remained shut on Saturday. Therefore, no FII or DII activity pertaining to futures and options contracts was recorded. The derivatives market typically mirrors the sentiment of the underlying cash market, and its closure on weekends is standard practice.
Key Drivers and Outlook
While the market was closed on Saturday, institutional investors would be closely watching a confluence of factors that could influence market direction in the coming week. Global economic indicators, crude oil prices, the trajectory of inflation, and any policy announcements from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) or the government will be key considerations. The upcoming corporate earnings season, if applicable, would also be a significant driver. Investors will likely look to the FII and DII data from the previous trading day (Friday, June 27, 2025) and anticipate the resumption of institutional flows when markets reopen on Monday, June 30, 2025, to gauge fresh sentiment.
