The post Stock Market Today: Nifty, GST Reforms, and Consumer Durable Stocks in Focus appeared first on .

]]> The Indian stock market ended last week on a positive note, with the Nifty 50 closing at 24,631.30, up nearly 1%, while the Bank Nifty settled 0.6% higher at 55,341.85. Sectors like Healthcare, IT, and Autos gained, while Realty, Consumer, and Telecom faced pressure.

Trade Setup for Monday

In the stock market today, experts believe that Nifty needs to decisively move above the 24,750–24,800 resistance zone to aim for 25,100. On the downside, immediate support is placed at 24,470–24,450. If it falls below this level, it could slip further to 24,250 or even 24,100.

For the Bank Nifty, resistance is seen in the 55,700–55,800 range, while support lies around 54,900–54,800.

GST Reforms Could Boost Market Sentiment

Investors are also keeping an eye on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcement regarding GST reforms. In his Independence Day speech, PM Modi hinted at next-generation reforms, likely by Diwali 2025. Reports suggest the government is considering reducing nearly 99% of goods from the 12% GST slab to 5%, and shifting many products from the 28% slab to 18%.

Today consumer durable stocks have direct gains because GST is a consumption tax. Analysts expect consumption to be strong in consumer durables, FMCG, and the agricultural sectors. Some stocks that will or could benefit if these reforms are enacted are Voltas, PG Electroplast, Whirlpool and Amber Enterprises.

Global Cues and Q1 Results

Global markets will impact the direction of the Indian stock market too. Softer inflation, economic data remaining resilient, and foreign investor activity will influence sentiment. Export-oriented sectors could remain volatile, whilst domestic sectors such as autos, infrastructure, and discretionary consumption could remain strong.

Consumer Durable Stocks in Focus

Market experts suggest watching consumer durable stocks today, especially after Modi’s remarks on GST reforms. Here’s how some major names are placed:

  • Voltas share price could gain if consumer demand improves in the cooling and appliances segment.
  • PG Electroplast share price is being tracked closely after steady volume growth in electronics.
  • Whirlpool share price may see a lift as lower GST could make household appliances more affordable.
  • Amber Enterprises share price could also benefit from higher consumer spending and seasonal demand.

Stocks to Watch Today

Experts have also recommended intraday picks for Monday, which include a mix of financials, technology, and manufacturing companies. Some of the highlighted stocks are Punjab National Bank, Tata Elxsi, DLF, Kingfa Science, Fedbank Financial Services, VA Tech Wabag, Apollo Micro Systems, and Manappuram Finance.

]]> Figma Inc., that big name in design software, finally hit the NYSE on Thursday, July 31, 2025. It’s a huge deal for the stock market. The company successfully raised $1.22 billion through its initial public offering (IPO), with its Figma shares listed at $33 apiece, securing a robust valuation of approximately $19.34 billion.

A Closer Look at the Figma IPO

 Reuters says the Figma IPO was a hit, with investors lining up to buy shares way more than expected, showing there’s a lot of interest in the market The IPO was backed by big-name venture capital firms like Index Ventures, Greylock Partners, and Kleiner Perkins, and each of them sold 36.9 million shares. The IPO kicked off with a price range of $30–$32 per share, but the buzz from investors pushed the price up to $33, beating what everyone thought it would be. Figma’s stock, “FIG,” is now officially part of the cool, high-performing US stocks club.

What Does Figma Do?

Founded to streamline design collaboration, Figma Inc. offers browser-based and mobile-accessible tools that empower designers, developers, and teams to collaborate in real-time. This platform’s totally a game-changer for UI/UX folks, it’s super adaptable and can handle the needs of solo designers and big companies alike. The company’s way of setting prices is all about how much you use and what kind of account you have, making sure there’s something for every business, no matter how big or small.

Tech-Driven Innovation: AI and ‘Dev Mode’

 In 2025, Figma dropped this cool AI tool called “Figma Make” that lets you turn text into working prototypes super fast, making the whole design-to-build process way quicker. Also, Figma came out with this new thing called ‘Dev Mode’ which is all about making it easier for designers and developers to work together and get stuff done faster.These new developments really cement Figma’s role as a trendsetter in the design software world, using AI to push the envelope.

Why the Figma IPO Matters

 This IPO is the first big one since SailPoint Inc. back in February 2025, showing that the US IPO scene is bouncing back after some ups and downs. Bloomberg Intelligence says Figma’s super high profit margin (92%) is way above what you’d see in other software companies, which means they’re in a solid spot financially and can invest in cool stuff down the line.

What’s Next for Figma Stock?

 With more folks getting into cloud design and teamwork tools, Figma stock’s looking like a hot pick for long-term investors and tech fans. Figma’s big IPO launch might be just the start of its big time run on Wall Street, with new stuff coming out and smart moves planned.

Kotak Mahindra Bank Shares

Mumbai, India – Shares of Kotak Mahindra Bank surged over 4% in early trade on Monday, making it one of the top gainers today on the Nifty 50. The rally came after the private sector lender posted a strong business update for the first quarter of FY25, boosting investor sentiment and placing the stock firmly among the key stocks to watch today. As of the latest trading session, the Kotak Mahindra Bank share price climbed to a 10-week high, reflecting renewed investor confidence in the bank’s growth trajectory.

What Drove the Rally?

On Sunday evening, Kotak Mahindra Bank released its Q1 business update, revealing solid growth in both advances and deposits. Total advances were up 17.5% year-on-year, while deposits saw a healthy uptick as well. At a time when the banking sector is facing tight liquidity conditions, these numbers were enough to reassure investors and revive interest in the stock. This is the kind of news that catches attention in a cautious market. No wonder Kotak Mahindra Bank today is a hot name in the trading circles and has made it to several ‘stocks to watch today  lists.

Analysts Say Momentum Is Back

Several market watchers believe this could mark a turnaround for the stock, which had underperformed peers in recent months. Analysts point out that Kotak Mahindra Bank’s steady credit growth, along with improving asset quality and a strong retail base, make it well-positioned for FY25. “The Q1 update signals a strong start to the year. Loan growth looks healthy, and we expect NIMs to remain stable,” said a banking analyst with a domestic brokerage. “It’s one of the banking stocks to keep an eye on this earnings season.”

After weeks of muted movement, Kotak Mahindra Bank is back in the spotlight and for the right reasons. The Q1 update has acted as a confidence booster, not just for shareholders but also for analysts tracking India’s private banking sector closely. If you’re following Kotak Mahindra Bank news, today’s price action and fundamentals suggest it might just be entering a new phase of momentum.

]]> The Indian stock market opened on a mixed note today as both Sensex and Nifty showed signs of volatility. Early morning trades indicated uncertainty, with benchmark indices swinging between gains and losses. While large-cap stocks faced pressure, small-cap and mid-cap stocks gained strength, attracting investor interest. Sectors like IT, banking, and financial services pulled the market down due to weak performance and selling pressure.

Sensex and Nifty Volatile Amid Global Cues

Sensex and Nifty, the two key indices of the Indian stock market, moved in a choppy range during the session. Sensex hovered around 72,500 while Nifty traded near the 22,000 mark. Global market uncertainty and recent inflation data from the US have made investors cautious. The mood in the market remains mixed as traders are reacting to both domestic and global factors.

Strong Buying in Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Stocks

Despite the overall market being volatile, small-cap and mid-cap stocks showed strong performance. Investors turned their focus towards these segments as they offered better returns. Sectors like FMCG, auto, and pharma in the mid and small-cap space witnessed positive buying activity. This shift shows rising confidence in broader markets, especially among retail investors.

IT, Banking, and Financial Services Stocks Fall

IT, bank, and financial services sectors were under pressure throughout the trading session. Major stocks like Infosys, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank saw losses. The weak global outlook for IT spending and high inflation data from the US affected sentiments. Financial stocks also faced selling due to profit booking and cautious investor behavior. These sectors dragged the overall market down.

Outlook: Cautious but Hopeful

Market experts suggest being cautious in the short term. Global uncertainties, weak cues from the US markets, and sectoral weakness are likely to keep volatility high. However, strong momentum in small and midcap stocks provides hope for long-term investors. Analysts recommend staying selective and focusing on quality stocks with good fundamentals.
