As of May 1, 2025, the Nifty 50 index has demonstrated a robust performance, closing April with a gain of 3.46%, building upon a 6.30% rise in March. This upward momentum is largely attributed to substantial foreign portfolio investments (FPIs), with approximately $4.11 billion injected over nine trading sessions, marking the longest buying spree since July 2023.

The rally has been further supported by optimism surrounding a potential U.S.-India trade agreement, India's strong economic outlook compared to global peers, and attractive valuations among Indian large-cap stocks. Notably, heavyweights like Reliance Industries have contributed to investor enthusiasm with strong corporate earnings.
Despite geopolitical tensions, including a recent militant attack in Kashmir, the markets have remained resilient. However, such events have introduced volatility, as evidenced by the Nifty volatility index rising for the fifth time in six sessions.
Looking ahead, historical trends suggest that May often yields modest gains for the Nifty 50, with positive returns in six out of the past ten years, averaging 1.5%. Sectors like Auto and FMCG have historically performed well during this month.
