Stock Market LIVE Update | Sensex rises over 300 points | Nifty crosses 25,950
Equities rebounded as the Sensex climbed over 300 points and the Nifty moved above 25,950, snapping a three-day slide after a 25-basis-point US Fed cut. The rupee weakened to a fresh low of 90.52 per dollar amid trade gridlock and outflows. Kotak Mahindra Bank focused on mid-market loans as large-corporate demand stayed muted. Credit card stress persisted, with some banks slowing issuance while larger peers expanded. Analysts flagged near-term relief but warned uncertainties could weigh on sentiment ahead in weeks.

GIFT NIFTY: Gift Nifty suggets a positive opening for the Indian market amid strong global cues. Nifty spot in today's session is likely to trade in the range of 26,150-25,750.
INDIA VIX: 10.53 | -0.39 (3.53%) ↓ today
Treasury Yield:
The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield fell more than 1 basis point to 4.147%.
Currency:
The U.S. dollar retreated Thursday after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates at the conclusion of its final policy meeting of the year, and signaled the likelihood of more easing next year. The Dollar Index traded lower to 98.32 after earlier falling to its lowest since late October.
Commodities:
Spot gold was up 1.2% at $4,280.08 per ounce, reaching its highest level since October 21. Silver also surged to a record high.
Brent crude futures fell 1.49%, to close at $61.28 a barrel.
General Trends:
Asia-Pacific markets traded higher Friday, tracking Wall Street gains after key benchmarks hit new records on the heels of the recent Federal Reserve decision.
Sector-Specific Indicators:
US President Donald Trump spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as negotiators from the US and India work to resolve differences over an elusive trade agreement.
Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 rose 0.96%, while the Topix added 1.18%. South Korea’s Kospi advanced 0.29%, while the small-cap Kosdaq traded around the flatline.
Market in the Previous Session:
The Indian equity market bounced back sharply on 11th Dec, snapping its 3-day losing streak.
A key tailwind for the up move was the US Federal Reserve’s 25 bps rate cut, which matched consensus estimates. The dovish shift improved risk sentiment, with lower US yields generally supporting EM inflows and currency stability.
Even though the Fed signalled a constrained easing path, the move nonetheless eased near-term jitters and reinforced investor confidence.
At close, the Sensex was up 426.86 points or 0.51 percent at 84,818.13, and the Nifty was up 140.55 points or 0.55 percent at 25,898.55.
All sectoral indices closed firmly in positive territory, with auto, IT, pharma, telecom, PSU and private banks, metals, and realty posting broad-based gains of 0.5–1%.
The midcap index rose 0.9% and the small-cap index added 0.8%.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index has formed a bullish candle with a lower shadow signaling buying demand around the key support area of 25,700.
As mentioned in earlier edition 25,700-25,800 did acted as major support as Nifty rebounded from the support area in yesterday session. Going ahead, a strength above 26,000 is required to open further upside towards 26,200-26,300 in the coming week.
Key support is placed around 25,700–25,800 levels which aligns with the bullish gap from November 12, the 50-day EMA, and a key retracement zone of the prior up move. Sustaining above this support area will keep the short term bias positive.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 26,060, followed by 26,150 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,860, followed by 25,750.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 59,600, followed by 59,870, while downside support is found at 59,100, followed by 58,850.
Nifty:
The highest Call OI placed at 26,000 and 26,500, while the highest Put OI stood at 25,000 with additional support at 25,800.
Put writers remained active below 25,900, adding the most positions at 25,700, strengthening the downside base. On the other hand, call writers unwound positions between 25,700–26,000 and added fresh positions above 26,100.
Immediate resistance for synthetic futures is seen at 26,000, with support at 25,800. The straddle at 25,900 is expected to act as the key pivot for tomorrow’s session.
A sustained move above 26,000, accompanied by continued call unwinding, could open the door for a sharp upside.
Bank Nifty:
Bank Nifty also displayed bullish undertones, with the highest Call OI at 60,000 acting as a strong resistance and the highest Put OI at 59,500 followed by 59,000.
Call unwinding across 59,000, 59,500, and 60,000, along with fresh put writing at 59,500, reinforces a positive bias.
A decisive move above 59,500, supported by ongoing call unwinding, may lead to a strong upward move in the index.
The highest Call OI at 60,000 marks a firm resistance zone, while strong Put OI at 59,500 and 59,000 establishes a solid support base around 59,000.

The S&P 500 closed at record highs on Thursday, though gains were kept in check by an Oracle-fueled drag on AI-related stocks at a time when valuation concerns persist.
