Indian benchmark indices experienced a downturn on Monday, June 30, 2025, as profit booking set in following a robust four-day rally that saw indices reach nine-month highs.

This market correction was primarily driven by broad-based selling in sectors like automobiles, FMCG, realty, and metals.

Analysis: Reasons Behind the Moves
The overall market sentiment on June 30, 2025, was largely subdued as Indian equity benchmarks concluded a four-day winning streak. The primary reason for the decline in the Nifty 50 and Sensex was widespread profit booking, particularly in large-cap stocks, after the indices had surged to their highest levels in nine months in the preceding sessions. Heavyweight stocks, including HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Bharti Airtel, and Maruti Suzuki, contributed significantly to the Nifty 50's downward movement. The Nifty Private Bank index was notably the top sectoral loser, reflecting the pressure on private banking stocks.
Conversely, the PSU Bank index emerged as the top gainer among sectoral indices, propelled by positive sentiment surrounding public sector banks. Despite the headline indices closing in the red, the broader market displayed positive breadth, with 1756 stocks gaining against 1188 declining on the NSE, indicating positive sentiments in the wider market. Small- and mid-cap indexes also outperformed, registering gains of 0.5% and 0.6% respectively.
