Below the Quote on Market Wrap 13th October 2025 by Mr. Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd

"Markets opened on a weak note and ended marginally lower, taking a breather after the recent rebound. Following an initial gap-down start, the Nifty index moved within a narrow range throughout the session and eventually settled at 25,227.35, down 0.23%. Most sectors traded in line with the benchmark and remained muted; however, resilience in banking and financial majors helped limit the downside. Interestingly, the broader indices also showed strength and managed to close almost flat.

Tariff escalation concerns—particularly after the U.S. President’s statement on the possibility of imposing an additional 100% duty on Chinese goods—triggered risk aversion across global equities, which in turn dampened domestic sentiment.

Looking ahead, earnings will remain the key focus, though global developments may continue to induce volatility. We suggest maintaining a positive bias as long as the Nifty holds above the 25,000 mark, and adopting a strategy of buying quality stocks on dips rather than taking aggressive leveraged positions."
