Benchmark Sensex tumbled 533.50 points and the broader Nifty declined to the 25,860 level on Tuesday (December 16, 2025) as persistent foreign fund outflows, a weak rupee and sluggish global market trends dented investor sentiment.

The 30-share Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) index, Sensex, tanked 533.50 points or 0.63% to settle at 84,679.86. During the day, it dived 592.75 points or 0.69% to 84,620.61.

The 50-share National Stock Exchange (NSE) Nifty dropped 167.20 points or 0.64% to 25,860.10.

Among Sensex firms, Axis Bank tanked the most by 5.03%. Eternal, HCL Tech, Bajaj Finserv, Tata Steel, UltraTech Cement and Bajaj Finance were also among the laggards. However, Titan, Bharti Airtel, Mahindra and Mahindra and Asian Paints were among the gainers.

In Asian markets, South Korea’s Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI), Japan’s Nikkei 225 index, Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite index, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index ended sharply lower.

European markets were trading on a mixed note. U.S. markets ended in negative territory on Monday (December 15, 2025).

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹1,468.32 crore on Monday (December 15, 2025), while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) bought stocks worth ₹1,792.25 crore, according to exchange data.

“Continued INR weakness to fresh record lows, driven by persistent FII outflows and subdued global sentiments, dragged domestic markets into negative territory,” Vinod Nair, head of research, Geojit Investments Limited, said.

Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, declined 1.54% to $59.63 per barrel.

On Monday (December 15, 2025), the Sensex dipped 54.30 points or 0.06% to settle at 85,213.36. The Nifty edged lower by 19.65 points or 0.08% to 26,027.30.

Stock markets snap three-day falling streak

admin — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 11:15:00 +0000

Benchmark stock indices Sensex and Nifty rebounded on Thursday (December 11, 2025), cutting short a three-day falling streak following buying in auto and metal stocks and a rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Rebounding from its early lows, the 30-share Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) index, Sensex, climbed 426.86 points or 0.51%, to settle at 84,818.13. During the day, it hit a high of 84,906.93 and a low of 84,150.19.

The 50-share National Stock Exchange (NSE) index, Nifty, appreciated by 140.55 points, or 0.55%, to close at 25,898.55. Following initial volatility, the Nifty gradually moved higher and closed near the day’s peak of 25,922.80 as most sectors advanced.

Among the Sensex constituents, Eternal, Tata Steel, Kotak Mahindra Bank, UltraTech Cement, Maruti Suzuki India, Sun Pharmaceuticals, Tech Mahindra, HDFC Bank, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, Infosys, Trent, Mahindra and Mahindra, Reliance Industries and HCL Technologies were the gainers.

However, Asian Paints, Bharti Airtel, Bajaj Finance, PowerGrid, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank and Titan were among the laggards.

“Domestic markets rebounded broadly following the Fed’s expected 25 basis points rate cut amid high U.S. inflation. The decline in U.S. 10-year yields indicates a moderation in future Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) outflows, which bolstered sentiment,” Vinod Nair, head of research, Geojit Investments Ltd, said.

Mr. Nair added that the auto sector excelled due to anticipated stronger demand, while IT gained traction on the prospect of increased spending. Conversely, other Asian markets experienced selling pressure over concerns about AI-driven valuations and rising Japanese yields, which negatively impacted overall domestic sentiment.

Ajit Mishra – senior vice president, research, Religare Broking Ltd said buying across IT, auto, metals, realty and banking helped offset recent weakness, supported by a decline in India Volatility Index (VIX). Steady domestic sentiment was reinforced by robust equity inflows of ₹29,894 crore in November. However, continued weakness in the rupee capped the momentum he added.

In Asian markets, Japan’s Nikkei 225 benchmark, Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite, South Korea’s Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng settled lower.

European markets are trading higher. Wall Street settled higher in overnight deals on Wednesday (December 10, 2025).

Meanwhile, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained the net sellers of equities worth ₹1,651.06 crore on Wednesday (December 10, 2025) while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) bought stocks worth ₹3,752.31 crore, according to the exchange data.

Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, declined 1.22% to $61.45 per barrel.

On Wednesday (December 10, 2025), the 30-share BSE index, Sensex, dropped by 275.01 points to settle at 84,391.27, while the broader NSE index, Nifty, fell by 81.65 points to close at a month’s low of 25,758.

Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty fell on Monday (October 13, 2025) due to selling in IT and FMCG shares and a weak trend in global markets after U.S. President Donald Trump announced an additional 100% tariff on Chinese goods from November 1.

The 30-share BSE Sensex dropped 173.77 points or 0.21% to settle at 82,327.05, snapping its two-day rally. During the day, it tanked 457.68 points or 0.55% to 82,043.14.

The 50-share NSE Nifty declined 58 points or 0.23% to 25,227.35 as 30 of its constituents closed lower, 19 with gains and one unchanged.

Among Sensex firms, Tata Motors, Infosys, Hindustan Unilever, Power Grid, Bharat Electronics, ITC, UltraTech Cement and Tata Consultancy Services were the major laggards.

However, Adani Ports, Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv and Axis Bank were among the gainers.

In Asian markets, South Korea’s Kospi, Shanghai’s SSE Composite Index and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng settled lower. Equity markets in Tokyo were closed due to a holiday. Stock markets in Europe were trading higher.

U.S. markets ended significantly lower on Friday (October 10, 2025). The Nasdaq Composite tanked 3.56%, while the S&P 500 tumbled 2.71% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.90%.

“The domestic markets started the week on a cautious note as the ongoing U.S. government shutdown and escalating U.S.-China trade tensions triggered risk-off sentiment across Asia,” Vinod Nair, head of research, Geojit Investments Limited, said.

Global oil benchmark Brent crude jumped 1.77% to $63.84 a barrel.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) bought equities worth ₹459.20 crore on Friday, according to exchange data.
