Indian equity benchmark indices ended the session marginally lower in a volatile and low-volume trading day, as overall market participation remained subdued ahead of the Christmas holiday.
Despite recent inflows, the broader trend for the year continues to reflect record foreign institutional investor outflows. These outflows have been driven by global headwinds such as tight monetary conditions, a strong U.S. dollar, and higher risk-free yields in developed markets.
At the close of trade, the Sensex declined by 116.14 points, or 0.14%, to settle at 85,408.70.
The Nifty also ended lower, slipping 35.05 points, or 0.13%, to close at 26,142.10.
On the sectoral front, most indices finished in the red. Stocks from the IT, Oil and Gas, Pharma, and PSU Bank sectors declined by around 0.4% each. In contrast, Media, Metals, and Realty stocks managed to close higher during the session.

In the broader markets, the midcap index recorded a decline of 0.6%, while the small-cap index ended slightly higher, gaining 0.28%.
Looking ahead, the markets will remain closed on Thursday, December 25, on account of the Christmas holiday.
That wraps up today’s market update.
