India’s share market indices, Sensex and Nifty50, ended the day’s trade in green on Thursday, May 15, 2025. The Sensex (index with top 30 firms) surged 1,200.18 points to close at 82,530.74 on Thursday. Meanwhile, Nifty50 (index with top 50 firms) was up 395.20 points to close at 25,062.10 points.

The surge in the share market came as tensions between India and Pakistan ease. India and Pakistan on Saturday announced to stop all military actions and firing across their shared border immediately. The tensions between the 2 countries had sharply increased after a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, which resulted in the deaths of 26 people. As the ceasefire between India and Pakistan begins, several tough measures taken by India to maintain pressure on Pakistan remain in place, including the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty.
What Else For Share Market?
However, market participants noted that the inflows from Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs), which had supported the recent uptrend, appear to be reversing.
Analysts attribute this shift to evolving global sentiments, especially amid concerns surrounding the US-China trade deal. Experts suggested that the markets may now lean towards a “Sell India, Buy China” trend in the near term, though some consolidation could be seen in the short run.
Ajay Bagga Banking and Market Expert, told ANI, “Markets have had a good run this week with US China trade deal and then softer than estimated US CPI leading to a sharp recovery in the US markets. This got translated into a global risk on rally. That seems to be running out of steam for now with the hunt on for new catalysts in the form of US tax cuts package or passage of the US debt ceiling legislation.
He added, “Markets are looking a tad tired today, with Asian markets opening lower and European futures also mildly lower. India should see a positive open, but the heavy lifting is being done by Indian retailers rather than the FPIs or DIIs. The Net short position of FPIs reduced slightly.”
