Sensex, Nifty updates on May 7, 2025: Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended slightly higher on Wednesday after a volatile trading session, as markets reacted to India’s missile strikes on terror hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir under ‘Operation Sindoor’. The 30-share BSE Sensex rose 105.71 points to close at 80,746.78, while the Nifty 50 gained 34.80 points to end at 24,414.40. The strikes came in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack, targeting camps linked to Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba. Despite geopolitical tensions, key stocks like Tata Motors, Adani Ports, and M&M saw gains. Experts said that while market sentiment may remain cautious in the short term, historical patterns suggest limited long-term impact from such standoffs. Foreign Institutional Investors continued their buying streak, adding ₹3,794.52 crore on Tuesday. In global cues, Asian markets were mostly positive, while European and US indices were under pressure. Separately, India and the UK finalized a landmark free trade agreement, further boosting investor sentiment.
