Snapping the four-day losing run, benchmark stock indices Sensex and Nifty rebounded on Thursday (December 4, 2025) on buying in tech and IT shares.

The 30-share Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) index Sensex edged higher by 158.51 points or 0.19% to settle at 85,265.32. During the day, it rose by 380.4 points or 0.44% to 85,487.21.

The 50-share National Stock Exchange (NSE) index Nifty climbed 47.75 points or 0.18% to 26,033.75. Sensex dropped around 613 points or 0.72% while Nifty shed nearly 230 points or 0.8% in four straight sessions to Wednesday (December 3, 2025).

Tata Consultancy Services, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, HCL Tech, Bharti Airtel, Sun Pharma, Bharat Electronics and Trent were the major gainers among Sensex scrips. However, Maruti, Eternal, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Titan were among the laggards.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹3,206.92 crore on Wednesday (December 3, 2025), while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) bought stocks worth ₹4,730.41 crore, according to exchange data.

“Domestic markets closed flat amid mixed global cues and caution ahead of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) policy. Early value-driven gains were restrained by a record-low Rupee and persistent FII outflows. However, lowered expectations of an RBI rate cut supported a mild currency rebound, helping indices stabilise towards the close,” Vinod Nair, head of research, Geojit Investments Limited said.

In Asian markets, South Korea’s Kospi, Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index settled lower, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 index and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index ended in positive territory.

“Nifty slipped below the 26,000 mark yesterday (December 3), extending its losing streak to a fourth straight session with market breadth firmly favouring the bears.
