“Indian Bourses Break Records: Nifty & Sensex Rally, FIIs Flood Back, IPO Wave Looms”

- Market indices hitting fresh highs • Nifty 50 surged to a 2025 peak of 25,549 (up 4.4% from mid-June), just 2.7% shy of its all-time high of 26,277. • Sensex climbed to 83,755—its highest level this year—gaining 3,505 points since June 13. Drivers: rebound from geopolitics-induced lows, a sharp drop in crude prices and a softer US dollar fueling inflows. - FIIs return, sharp weekly rebound • After a cautious start to the week, foreign institutional investors resumed buying mid-week as tensions between Iran and Israel eased. • Global risk appetite lifted domestic large-caps, while mid- and small-caps also participated despite stretched valuations. - IPO pipeline heats up • A slew of Indian startups across fintech, consumer goods, logistics and more are gearing up to list, marking one of the busiest IPO calendars in recent memory.
