Indian Stock Market Commentary: Closing Bell on August 8, 2025Mumbai, August 8, 2025, 15:30 IST – The Indian stock market closed in the red on Friday, August 8, 2025, as global trade tensions and persistent foreign fund outflows weighed heavily on investor sentiment. The BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty, India’s benchmark indices, ended the session with notable losses, reflecting a cautious market mood amid external pressures and mixed corporate earnings.Performance of Key Indices
- BSE Sensex: The 30-share BSE Sensex tanked 765.47 points, or 0.95%, to settle at 79,857.79, slipping below the psychological 80,000 mark. The index saw an intraday low of 79,775.84, highlighting the intensity of the sell-off.
- NSE Nifty: The 50-share NSE Nifty dropped 232.85 points, or 0.95%, to close at 24,363.30, falling below the 24,400 level. The index touched an intraday low of 24,337.50, signaling fragile market support.
- U.S. Tariff Jitters: U.S. President Donald Trump’s imposition of an additional 25% tariff on Indian exports, bringing the total to 50%, sparked fears of trade disruptions. This move, in response to India’s energy trade with Russia, dampened investor confidence, particularly in export-driven sectors.
- Foreign Fund Outflows: Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹4,997.19 crore on Thursday, with cumulative selling of ₹16,000 crore in August, exerting significant downward pressure on the market. Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) countered with purchases of ₹10,864.04 crore, but this was insufficient to stem the decline.

- Crypto Markets: No specific data on Indian crypto market performance was available for August 8, but global crypto markets remained volatile, influenced by macroeconomic uncertainties and regulatory developments.
- RBI Monetary Policy: The RBI maintained the repo rate at 6.5% on August 8, projecting FY25 CPI inflation at 4.5% and GDP growth at 7.2%. Governor Shaktikanta Das emphasized price stability to support growth.

- Potential SME IPOs: The strong subscription of All Time Plastics and the 316.64 times oversubscription of Highway Infrastructure Limited indicate robust SME IPO interest, with more expected in the coming week.
- Indian Stock Market: The Sensex and Nifty are likely to remain volatile due to ongoing U.S. tariff concerns and FII outflows. Analysts suggest a range-bound market, with Nifty resistance at 24,600 and support at 24,200. A break above 24,625 could trigger short covering, potentially pushing the index to 24,825. Defensive sectors like FMCG and power may outperform, while export-oriented sectors like metals and textiles could face pressure.
- Indian Commodity Market: Gold is expected to consolidate at elevated levels (₹1,02,000-1,04,000 per 10 grams) due to safe-haven demand. Crude oil prices may remain stable unless geopolitical tensions escalate. Investors should watch for global demand cues and OPEC+ production decisions.
- Indian Currency Market: The rupee is likely to trade in a narrow range (87.50-88.00 against the USD), supported by RBI interventions. Tariff uncertainties and dollar strength could add mild downward pressure.

At 09:03 IST, posts on X from

The U.S. tariff hike on August 7 set the tone, impacting stock markets and exporters, with the Sensex’s 550-point drop on August 8 reflecting investor anxiety. However, sectors like banking, infrastructure, and defense remain promising, as per Kranthi Bathini’s analysis, suggesting opportunities for long-term investors despite short-term volatility. The RBI’s proactive liquidity measures signal a robust financial framework, critical as India braces for a potential growth hit.
On the social front, the smartphone study trending on August 8 highlights a generational shift, with implications for India’s workforce and education sectors. Sports news, while niche, shows India’s growing engagement with global events, from NFL injuries to MLB debates, reflecting a diversifying cultural palate. Politically, PM Modi’s farmer-focused rhetoric on August 9 underscores the government’s sensitivity to rural constituencies amid trade tensions.
Sector-specific updates, like Tata Power’s renewable energy gains and MOIL’s price hikes, indicate resilience in key industries, though challenges persist in IT and auto sectors.

THE WEATHER WRAP-UP
Last, but not least and as important as food, water, clothing and internet the four basic human needs are, is weather, so let us take a look at what are the weather cocks indicating and scan the important headlines across the world in weather space ...
News-Commentary: Extreme Weather and Its Global Ripple EffectsAs the world grapples with intensifying weather patterns, recent headlines underscore the profound impacts of extreme conditions on human health, safety, and behavior. From scorching heatwaves to violent storms, these events are reshaping daily life, challenging infrastructure, and prompting adaptive behaviors across the globe. Below is a timeline of the latest developments, ordered from the most recent to the oldest, with commentary on their broader implications and hyperlocal updates where applicable.
August 11, 2025, 00:01 AM IST: Common prescription drug that can be fatal in UK heatwave if symptom goes ignored – The Mirror
A sweltering heatwave gripping the UK, with temperatures reaching 35°C in the South East and London, has prompted an amber health alert from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). Experts warn that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a common class of antidepressants taken by millions, can exacerbate health risks during extreme heat by disrupting the body’s ability to regulate temperature. Excessive sweating, a side effect of SSRIs, can lead to dehydration, while tricyclic antidepressants may reduce sweating, impairing natural cooling mechanisms. Pharmacist Thorrun Govind emphasizes the importance of continuing prescribed medications but urges precautions like staying hydrated and avoiding peak heat hours (11 AM–3 PM). Hyperlocal Update: In London, where temperatures are expected to hit 34°C today, local NHS trusts are increasing outreach to vulnerable populations, offering cooling centers in community halls. Commentary: This underscores the hidden dangers of climate-driven heatwaves, particularly for those on essential medications. It’s a stark reminder that public health systems must adapt to rising temperatures, potentially integrating heatwave-specific guidance into routine medical care.
August 10, 2025, 18:01 PM IST: Two tourists drown at sea amid gale-force winds in Greece – The Independent
Greece’s ongoing heatwave, with temperatures soaring to 44°C, has been compounded by gale-force winds, creating hazardous conditions that claimed the lives of two tourists. The incidents follow a string of heat-related deaths, including that of British TV presenter Dr. Michael Mosley, highlighting the dangers of extreme weather for visitors unaccustomed to such conditions. Hyperlocal Update: In Crete, where temperatures hit 44.5°C last week, local authorities have closed popular hiking trails and issued warnings for coastal areas due to unpredictable winds. Commentary: Greece’s “summer of hell” illustrates the compounding risks of heat and wind, straining emergency services and tourism infrastructure. The Foreign Office’s warnings to UK tourists in Greece underscore the need for better traveler education on extreme weather risks, especially as climate change amplifies these conditions.
August 10, 2025, 19:01 PM IST: Dubai’s 50°C heatwave sparks ‘Mallathon’ craze as runners ditch streets for shopping malls – Malay Mail
In Dubai, where temperatures have soared to a blistering 50°C, residents are turning to air-conditioned shopping malls for exercise, giving rise to the “Mallathon” trend. Runners are swapping outdoor tracks for mall corridors to avoid heatstroke, with some malls extending hours to accommodate the craze. Hyperlocal Update: The Dubai Mall has introduced designated “Mallathon” lanes, with early morning sessions seeing hundreds of participants. Commentary: This creative adaptation highlights human resilience in the face of extreme heat but also raises questions about sustainability. Relying on energy-intensive air-conditioned spaces for daily activities underscores the urgent need for urban planning that mitigates heat island effects and promotes climate-resilient infrastructure.
August 11, 2025, 00:01 AM IST: No rain now, temp likely to rise: Met – The Times of India
Mumbai’s Meteorological Department reports a pause in monsoon rains, with temperatures expected to climb in the coming days. The absence of rain, combined with high humidity, is likely to exacerbate discomfort in the densely populated city. Hyperlocal Update: In Mumbai’s Bandra area, residents are stocking up on cooling appliances, with local shops reporting a 20% spike in fan and AC sales. Commentary: The shift from rain to heat in Mumbai reflects the erratic weather patterns driven by climate change, challenging urban dwellers and infrastructure alike. Authorities must prioritize heat action plans to protect vulnerable populations in megacities like Mumbai.
August 10, 2025, 14:01 PM IST: Is Hong Kong going to let extreme weather rain on productivity? – South China Morning Post
Hong Kong is facing disruptions from extreme weather, including typhoons and heavy rain, raising concerns about impacts on its bustling economy. Businesses are grappling with reduced productivity as workers face commuting challenges and workplace closures. Hyperlocal Update: In Kowloon, some companies are implementing remote work policies to mitigate disruptions, while the Hong Kong Observatory has issued alerts for potential typhoon activity this week. Commentary: Hong Kong’s economic hub status makes it particularly vulnerable to weather-related disruptions. This situation calls for investment in resilient infrastructure and flexible work policies to maintain productivity in the face of increasingly frequent extreme weather events.
August 10, 2025, 14:01 PM IST: What to expect from the weather this week in Norfolk – Norwich Evening News
Norfolk, UK, is bracing for a week of warm weather, with temperatures expected to reach 30°C by midweek, according to the Met Office. While no amber alerts have been issued, residents are advised to stay hydrated and avoid strenuous outdoor activities. Hyperlocal Update: In Norwich, local councils are distributing free water bottles at community centers to encourage hydration among the elderly. Commentary: Norfolk’s forecast aligns with the broader UK heatwave trend, emphasizing the need for localized heat preparedness plans. Community-driven initiatives, like those in Norwich, could serve as a model for other regions facing similar conditions.
August 10, 2025, 13:01 PM IST: Yellow Warning for High Temperatures Issued across 21 Regions – Bulgarian News Agency
Bulgaria has issued yellow warnings for high temperatures across 21 regions, with forecasts predicting 35–38°C. Authorities are urging residents to limit outdoor activities and ensure adequate hydration, particularly for vulnerable groups. Hyperlocal Update: In Sofia, cooling stations have been set up in public parks, and local hospitals are preparing for a potential uptick in heat-related admissions. Commentary: Bulgaria’s proactive warnings reflect a growing awareness of heatwave risks across Europe. However, the effectiveness of such measures depends on public compliance and access to cooling resources, particularly in rural areas.
August 10, 2025, 03:01 AM IST: Jade’s First Alert 6 Forecast - Another round of strong storms possible tonight – WOWT
Nebraska is on alert for another round of severe storms, with meteorologists warning of potential hail, high winds, and flash flooding. The forecast follows a deadly storm that has already caused significant disruption in the region. Hyperlocal Update: In Omaha, emergency services are distributing sandbags in flood-prone areas, and schools are preparing contingency plans for potential closures. Commentary: The recurring storms in Nebraska highlight the increasing frequency of extreme weather events in the U.S. Midwest, necessitating robust disaster preparedness and community resilience strategies.
August 10, 2025, 03:01 AM IST: Storms kill 1, injure another and displace hundreds of inmates in Nebraska – MailOnline
A powerful storm in Nebraska has left one person dead, another injured, and hundreds of inmates displaced after damaging a correctional facility. The storm’s high winds and flooding have strained local emergency response systems. Hyperlocal Update: In Lincoln, the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services is relocating inmates to temporary facilities while repairs are underway, with local shelters opening to assist displaced residents. Commentary: This tragic event underscores the vulnerability of critical infrastructure, like correctional facilities, to extreme weather. It raises urgent questions about the need for climate-resilient designs in public buildings to protect both staff and inmates.
Final Thoughts: The global snapshot of extreme weather events—from UK heatwaves exacerbating medication risks to deadly storms in Nebraska and adaptive “Mallathons” in Dubai—reveals a world grappling with the consequences of a warming planet. These stories highlight the need for tailored public health responses, resilient infrastructure, and community-driven adaptations. As climate change intensifies, governments, businesses, and individuals must prioritize proactive measures to mitigate risks and protect vulnerable populations. The interconnected nature of these events serves as a call to action for global cooperation in addressing the root causes of extreme weather.
