August 12, 2025 — The BSE Sensex ended today’s trading session at 80,235.59, slipping by 368.49 points or 0.46%, as volatile market conditions persisted. Despite early gains, selling pressure in banking and financial stocks weighed on the benchmark index.
The index oscillated during the day, touching a high of 80,997.67 before retreating to its closing level. The Nifty Bank index also faced declines, falling 0.84% to 55,043.70, dragged down by major lenders including HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank.
Sectors such as automobile, oil and gas, and information technology displayed resilience, with shares of Maruti Suzuki, Hero MotoCorp, and Tech Mahindra recording gains that helped cushion losses in other segments.
Global economic concerns, including US-China trade tensions and inflation fears, contributed to investor caution. Market experts suggest that upcoming corporate earnings and domestic policy updates will be key drivers for the market in the near term.
Investors are advised to monitor these developments closely as volatility is expected to continue in the short run.
