Stock Market Update: Friday Trading Trends

 

India’s benchmark equity indices witnessed a mild decline on Friday as key financial stocks lost ground, giving back part of the gains achieved earlier this week. The retreat followed the Reserve Bank of India’s accommodative stance and its recent lending reforms.

 

By 11:18 IST, the Nifty 50 index was nearly unchanged at 24,829.75, while the BSE Sensex also held flat at 81,013.91. Market analysts noted that the RBI’s push to boost credit growth may have limited impact if foreign investor selling continues. Overseas portfolio investors seem prepared to step up their withdrawals, capitalizing on the rally from the previous session.

 

So far in September, FPIs have pulled out around 2.7 billion dollars from Indian equities, taking the total outflow for 2025 to 17.6 billion dollars. This trend is putting the market on course for one of the largest annual withdrawals of foreign capital.

 

Nifty 50 Outlook

The Nifty 50 continues to trade with a positive bias as long as it stays above the critical support level of 24,750. Despite fluctuations, the index has displayed strength, and technical signals suggest the uptrend could extend. A break above 25,000 may pave the way for higher levels in the near term. Overall sentiment is steady, and traders may consider buying on declines while managing risk carefully.

 

Bank Nifty View

Bank Nifty remains firm, sustaining above immediate supports at 55,100 and 55,000. The index has built a constructive base, with buyers eyeing the resistance area near 55,600–55,700. A clear breakout above this zone could trigger stronger momentum in leading banking counters. Technical indicators continue to reflect optimism, reinforcing a short-term bullish outlook. As long as supports hold, traders can look at buying opportunities on dips with disciplined stop-loss placement.
