The Indian equity markets did trade with a holiday mood in the final truncated week of 2025 (December 22-26), but ultimately closed lower amid sustained FII selling, a weakening rupee, and uncertainty over the India-US trade deal. Domestic institutional investor (DII) buying helped to cushion the decline.
