Stock Market Today June 25: Sensex at 77,366, Nifty 24,136, Crude Crash Lifts Auto, Aviation; Gold ETFs Fall 2%, IT Mixed

The stock market today is delivering a broad-based positive session, with the Sensex holding near the 77,366 mark and the Nifty 50 comfortably above 24,136 as India’s equity market continues to be powered by a singular macro narrative: Brent crude collapsing to approximately $73.74 per barrel , its lowest level since before the US-Iran conflict , as the Strait of Hormuz resumes normal tanker operations. The stock market today has a clearly defined character: crude-sensitive sectors (auto, aviation, oil marketing) are racing higher while commodity-linked sectors (metals, gold) and the defensive rotation into IT are seeing selective weakness. Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest delivers the full stock market today wrap across all key indices, sectors, movers, and the global context that is driving today’s session.

The stock market today opened on a strong positive note, extending Wednesday’s significant recovery of 790.54 Sensex points (+1.04%) and 197.55 Nifty points (+0.83%). India VIX fell 3.38% to 12.93 at the open, signalling a meaningful decline in market fear that is supporting risk-on positioning across the session. The Nifty 50 opened at 24,149 from a previous close of 24,021.65 and has maintained broad gains through the afternoon. Tuesday’s sharp selloff of approximately 900 Sensex points and 279 Nifty points (on PMI weakness and profit-booking) has now been entirely recovered, and the stock market today finds the benchmark indices in a much stronger technical position heading into the three-day Muharram long weekend.

Stock Market Today: What Is Driving the Session?

Screen All Today’s Market Movers Live on Univest

The stock market today has one dominant driver: Brent crude oil at approximately $73.74 per barrel, down approximately 4.3% from the prior session, reaching its lowest level since before the US and Israeli strikes on Iran began. The catalyst is the Strait of Hormuz, through which approximately 20% of global oil trade flows, resuming normal tanker traffic after the International Maritime Organization secured safety guarantees. US Energy Secretary Chris Wright confirmed that flows through the strait are close to pre-war levels, with at least 20 million barrels having exited in the previous 24 hours. This supply normalisation story is the singular macro catalyst defining the stock market today and is driving a dramatic sector rotation: from commodity stocks and defensive plays toward crude-sensitive beneficiaries in auto, aviation, and oil marketing.

The stock market today also benefits from a sharp decline in India VIX to 12.93 at the open, down 3.38% from yesterday. VIX at sub-13 levels signals low market fear and is historically associated with periods of steady upward price action with limited panic selling. The fall in VIX is a function of the geopolitical de-escalation: with Iran war fears fading and crude returning to pre-conflict levels, the tail risk premium that had been embedded in Indian equity options is being unwound. For the stock market today, this VIX collapse is a green light for institutional buyers who had been waiting for macro clarity before adding risk.

The global context for the stock market today is mixed but manageable. US markets fell the previous session (NASDAQ -2.22%, S&P 500 -1.44%, Dow Jones -0.09%), primarily on rising Federal Reserve rate hike expectations after markets began pricing approximately 68% probability of a September hike (up from 29% a week earlier). This Fed repricing is the reason gold and silver are under pressure in the stock market today , both metals are inversely correlated to real interest rates and USD strength. However, for Indian equities, the crude price collapse is a more powerful countervailing force, and the stock market today is demonstrating that the net impact of cheaper oil outweighs the negative from higher global rate expectations, at least for India’s oil-importing economy.
