Nifty Fails To Defend 25,900 Amid Choppy Trade On Sensex Expiry; AMC Stocks Surge| Closing Bell Live

The equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty declined on Thursday amid weak global cues and selling pressure in select sectors.

At 2:40 p.m., the Sensex fell 350 points from the day's high to 84,415.11, while the broader Nifty declined to 25,790.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Key factors behind the decline</strong></span>

<strong>1) Weak global cues: </strong>Asian markets traded mostly lower, tracking overnight losses on Wall Street. South Korea’s Kospi, Japan’s Nikkei 225 and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng were in the red, while Shanghai’s SSE Composite index traded with marginal gains. US markets ended lower on Wednesday amid profit booking in technology and artificial intelligence-related stocks.

<strong>2) Selling in auto shares: </strong>Auto stocks witnessed selling pressure, declining up to 2 percent, as investors booked profits, thus weighing on overall market sentiment.

<strong>3) Crude oil prices rise: </strong>Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, climbed 0.65 percent to $60.07 per barrel. Higher crude prices tend to raise concerns over inflation and increase input costs for oil-importing countries like India, impacting market sentiment.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Technical view</strong></span>

Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Investments Limited, said the Nifty has declined over a percentage point from the week’s peak and has slid back to last Friday’s lows.

“This offers scope for a potential rebound towards 25,980 initially. However, failure to hold above 25,850 could expose the index to levels of 25,650-25,300 or even 25,130, and may also confirm a near-term downtrend,” he said.

The equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty recovered early losses on Friday, supported by value buying at lower levels and improved investor sentiment after foreign institutional investors (FIIs) turned buyers.

At around 12:30 p.m., the Sensex rebounded nearly 500 points from the day’s low to trade in the green at 84,706.70, up 147.05 points or 0.17 percent, while the broader Nifty moved near the 25,900 level to trade at 25,883.25.

Earlier in the day, the Sensex declined to the day's low of 84,238.43, down 321.22 points or 0.37 percent, while the broader Nifty declined to 25,726.30, down 92.25 points or 0.35 percent.

<a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/computers-software/infosys/IT">Infosys</a>, Max Healthcare Institute and Hindalco Industries were among the top gainers in the Nifty50 pack, rising up to 1 percent, while <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/pharmaceuticals/sunpharmaceuticalindustries/SPI">Sun Pharmaceutical Industries</a> and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles were among the major laggards, declining up to 2 percent. Market breadth remained negative as about 1375 shares advanced, 2048 shares declined and 142 shares unchanged.
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Key reasons behind market rebound</strong></span></h3>
<strong>1) Value buying at lower levels: </strong>Investors stepped in to buy stocks after three consecutive sessions of decline between Monday and Wednesday. The recent correction made several stocks attractive, prompting fresh buying interest as investors jumped in for bargain hunting.

<strong>2) FII buying: </strong>Foreign institutional investors turned net buyers on December 17 after remaining sellers for 14 consecutive sessions.

<strong>3) Shift away from AI-heavy trades: </strong>Weakness in US technology stocks also aided relative sentiment towards Indian equities. Wall Street’s main indices closed lower on Wednesday, with the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq falling to three-week lows amid concerns over stretched valuations in artificial intelligence-linked stocks. The S&amp;P 500 declined 1.2 percent and the Nasdaq fell 1.8 percent. Oracle slid 5.4 percent, Nvidia dropped 3.8 percent and Broadcom fell 4.5 percent.

"The trend of weakening AI trade is gathering pace in the US market. This trend is likely to continue in early 2026, and this will favour non-AI markets like India," said Dr VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments.

<strong>4) Rupee recovery: </strong>The rupee traded in a narrow range against the US dollar in early trade, supported by fresh foreign fund inflows. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 90.35 against the dollar, moved up to 90.32 and also touched 90.38 during early trade.

"Indian rupee snapped its five-day losing streak, appreciating sharply by 65 paise against the US dollar. The rebound is widely attributed to suspected central bank intervention," Devarsh Vakil, Head of Prime Research at HDFC Securities, said.

<strong>5) Lower volatility: </strong>India VIX, the volatility index often referred to as the market’s fear gauge, remained near record low levels. Lower VIX readings suggest reduced expectations of sharp market swings in the near term. In Friday’s trade, the index was flat at 9.87, up 0.3 percent.

<strong>6) Buying in IT shares:</strong> India's largest IT company, Tata Consultancy Services rose 0.7 percent after it outlined a strategy to become the world's largest artificial intelligence-led tech services firm. The Nifty IT index was up 0.4 percent.

Markets Brace For More Weakness On Sensex Expiry; SEBI Revamps MF Expense Norms| Opening Bell Live

Domestic equity benchmarks Nifty 50 and Sensex are expected to open on a subdued note on Thursday, December 18, as weak global cues cap early optimism. A sharp overnight selloff on Wall Street, led by technology stocks, has kept risk appetite in check, pointing to a cautious start for Indian markets.

At around 7.45 a.m., the GIFT Nifty was trading at 25,882.5, down 8 points or 0.03 percent, indicating a largely flat to slightly negative opening for the benchmark indices, as investors assess global risk sentiment and await fresh domestic triggers.
<h1>Global cues remain weak</h1>
US stocks ended sharply lower on Wednesday as technology shares bore the brunt of selling. Renewed worries over artificial intelligence related valuations triggered a broad pullback, pushing the Nasdaq Composite down 1.8 percent.

Heavyweights such as Nvidia, Broadcom and Oracle fell more than 3 percent each. Technology stocks dragged the S&amp;P 500 lower by 2.2 percent, marking its fourth consecutive losing session, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gave up early gains, weighed down 0.47 percent by losses in stocks such as Caterpillar.

Asian markets opened lower in early trade, mirroring the US weakness. Shares in Japan and Australia declined, along with equity futures for Hong Kong, as investors shifted into a risk off mode. The cautious tone also supported demand for shorter maturity US Treasuries and precious metals.
<h1>Key developments to watch</h1>
On the domestic front, <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/markets/mf-regulation-fixing-ipo-lock-in-discount-to-investors-on-debt-issues-sebi-board-clears-key-proposals-13730693.html">regulatory developments will remain in focus</a> after the board of the Securities and Exchange Board of India approved a wide set of reforms spanning mutual fund regulations, stock broker norms, IPO disclosures and lock in rules.

The regulator also cleared measures to incentivise debt securities, eased issuance and conversion of physical shares, and raised the threshold for highly value debt listed entities to Rs 5,000 crore to reduce compliance burden. Amendments allowing credit rating agencies to rate instruments regulated by other authorities were also approved, while proposals of the high level committee on conflict of interest were deferred for further discussion.

In global assets, cryptocurrency prices reflected the cautious mood. Bitcoin fell more than 2 percent on Wednesday before recovering part of its losses in early Thursday trade. Analysts note that Bitcoin has been drifting towards the lower end of its recent trading range, with every bounce attracting selling from investors who bought near the record highs seen in early October.
<h1>Flows and positioning</h1>
Foreign institutional investors remained buyers in the previous session, purchasing Indian equities worth Rs 1,127 crore. Domestic institutional investors also provided support, with net purchases of Rs 769 crore, according to exchange data.

From a technical standpoint, Nifty continues to move within a consolidation phase. The broader trading range is seen between 26,220 on the upside and 25,700 on the downside. The formation of lower highs, however, keeps the 26,200 zone as a critical level for any meaningful shift in trend.

The derivatives data points to growing caution among traders. Call writers have added fresh positions at at the money and nearby strikes, strengthening overhead resistance on rallies. At the same time, put writers have reduced exposure and rolled positions to lower strikes, indicating expectations of a prolonged sideways phase rather than a decisive breakout or breakdown.

A significant build up of nearly 1.68 crore call contracts at the 26,000 strike underscores it as a strong resistance area. On the downside, around 69.36 lakh put contracts at the 25,500 strike are providing a cushion, suggesting limited immediate downside unless global cues deteriorate further, according to analysts at SAMCO Securities.
