🌅 Indian Market Pre-Market Report – Friday, 19 December 2025-Global Cues, GIFT Nifty, Key Levels, Trade Deal Watch & Today’s Market Outlook
If you’re opening your trading screen this Friday morning and wondering whether today will finally bring clarity — you’re asking the same question as the market.
The last few sessions haven’t been dramatic.
They haven’t been exciting either.
Instead, the market has been quietly telling us one thing again and again:
“I’m not in a hurry. I want more clarity before I move.”
Let’s walk through today’s setup slowly and sensibly.
🌍 Global Cues – What the World Is Whispering Today
Global Cues (Overnight)
Dow Jones Industrial Average: ~47,952 (+0.14%) — modest gains on mixed sentiment.
S&P 500: ~6,775 (+0.79%) — higher, showing some rebound after recent weakness.
NASDAQ Composite: ~23,006 (+1.38%) — strong performance with tech strength. (Data from global index trackers showing closing movements)
Asian markets this morning are mostly mixed. Some pockets are slightly positive, others are flat. There’s no clear “risk-on” mood, but importantly, there’s no fear-driven selling either.
Nikkei 225 (Japan): ~49,503 (+~1.02%) — solid gains on the day.
Hang Seng (Hong Kong): ~25,498 (+0.12%) — positive but muted.
Shanghai Composite (China): ~3,876 (+0.16%) — modest upside.
KOSPI (South Korea): ~3,994 (-1.53%) — weaker amid risk-off flows.
Europe
European markets were broadly higher on Thursday:
DAX (Germany): ~24,200 (+1.0%)
FTSE 100 (UK): ~9,838 (+0.65%)
CAC 40 (France): ~8,151 (+0.80%)
📈 GIFT Nifty Today Morning – First Hint, Not the Final Answer
Early morning indications from GIFT Nifty show a mild positive bias.
Gift Nifty & Early Setup
Gift Nifty (indicative): Around 25,962.5 (+0.33%) in the early hours. What this suggests: A mildly positive start, but the real fight will be near 25,900–26,000.
This suggests:
The market may open slightly in the green But the move is not strong enough to call it a bullish opening
In recent days, we’ve seen that early gains often fade unless supported by banks and broader participation.
👉 Treat GIFT Nifty as a weather forecast, not a guarantee.
🇮🇳 India vs US Trade Deal – Still a Background Pressure
There’s no fresh announcement on the India–US trade deal this morning.
And honestly, that’s becoming part of the problem.
Markets don’t mind bad news as much as they mind uncertain news. The longer this clarity takes, the more cautious foreign investors remain.
This doesn’t mean money will suddenly exit India — it just means:
FIIs will be selective Big trend moves may remain limited
Until there’s visibility, rallies may face supply.
🔁 Quick Look Back – What Happened in the Last Session
Yesterday’s session (Thursday) was a classic range-bound day.
Nifty stayed close to the same zone Sensex barely moved Bank Nifty struggled to cross resistance
There was no panic.
But there was also no urgency to buy.
Midcaps and smallcaps again underperformed, which is an important observation.
👉 When broader markets stay weak, it tells us that risk appetite is still low.

📊 Indian Market Pre-Market Report – Current Key Levels
Let’s keep levels clean and practical.
🔹 Nifty 50
Support Zone: 25,700 – 25,650
Resistance Zone: 25,950 – 26,000
As long as Nifty stays above 25,650, downside is controlled.
But unless it breaks and holds above 26,000, confidence will remain missing.
This zone has become a decision area.
🔹 Bank Nifty
Support: 58,700 – 58,500
Resistance: 59,100 – 59,300
Let’s be very clear here.
If Bank Nifty does not support:
Nifty rallies will struggle Intraday pullbacks may get sold
Banking stocks are the steering wheel right now.
🔹 Sensex
Support: 84,200 – 84,000
Resistance: 84,900 – 85,200
Sensex remains stuck in a range, mirroring Nifty’s indecision.
📊 Derivatives View – What Option Writers Are Saying
Options data continues to show range-bound expectations.
Nifty Options Snapshot
Heavy call writing near 26,000
Strong put writing near 25,700–25,600
This combination usually tells us:
Traders expect time correction Sharp directional moves are unlikely without a trigger
👉 Option writers are confident that the market will stay trapped between support and resistance for now.
🌡️ India VIX – Calm Surface, Hidden Risk
India VIX remains low.
This often confuses new traders.
Low VIX does not mean the market is strong.
It usually means:
No panic No excitement Low urgency
Such markets often move slowly… and then suddenly.
That’s why risk management becomes more important than prediction.
💸 FII & DII Data – Reading Between the Lines
Recent data shows:
FIIs have slowed down their selling DIIs continue to support selectively
FIIs (Foreign Institutional Investors): Net Buyers ~₹595.78 crore
DIIs (Domestic Institutional Investors): Net Buyers ~₹2,700.36 crore
➡️ Total Institutional Net Inflow: ~₹3,296.14 crore (when FII + DII are combined) — showing healthy buying support from both sides of the table.
This is encouraging, but not enough to call a trend reversal yet.
One or two positive sessions do not change a bigger picture.
👉 What we need to see is consistency, not one-day optimism.
🪙 Commodity Market – Quiet but Important
🥇 Gold
Gold remains firm, supported by global uncertainty. Investors continue to treat it as insurance rather than speculation.
Gold around ₹1,34,400–₹1,34,550 per 10g
⚪ Silver
Silver remains volatile. It reacts faster than gold and swings with both industrial demand and sentiment.
Silver price movement ₹2,08,000–₹2,08,100 per kg
🛢️ Crude Oil
Crude prices remain below the uncomfortable zone.
WTI Crude: ~$55.87/bbl (slightly softer)
Brent Crude: ~$59.71/bbl
This is actually a silent positive for India:
Lower import pressure Less inflation stress Slight support to the rupee
Sometimes, markets benefit simply because things don’t get worse.
💱 Currency Update – Rupee Stability Matters
The rupee remains relatively stable compared to recent weakness.
This stability matters more than it sounds:
It keeps FIIs calmer It reduces inflation worries It supports sideways equity markets
A sharp rupee move often acts as a trigger. Stability delays that trigger.
🧾 IPO Market – Activity Without Aggression
IPO activity continues, especially in the SME space.
However, excitement is clearly lower than earlier months.
This is healthy.
It tells us:
Retail investors are becoming selective Listing gains are no longer assumed
Long term, this makes the market more mature.
🏛️ SEBI Updates – Long-Term Confidence Builders
Recent SEBI actions continue to focus on:
Better disclosures Cleaner IPO frameworks Investor protection
These don’t move markets intraday, but they strengthen trust over time.
A regulated market grows slower — but grows stronger.
⭐ Stock Theme to Watch – Not a Buy Call
Rather than a single stock, today is about themes.
IT stocks have shown relative strength Defensive largecaps are being preferred High-beta names are being avoided
This usually happens when markets are unsure.
🧭 Market Outlook for Today – Honest & Simple
Let’s keep expectations realistic.
Opening may be mildly positive First hour will decide direction Bank Nifty will lead sentiment
👉 This is not a day to chase breakouts blindly.
👉 This is a day to respect levels and manage risk.
If Nifty stays between 25,700–26,000, expect a choppy session.
💡 Investment View – Short Term vs Long Term
⏱️ Short Term
Trade light Avoid overtrading Focus on strong charts only Protect capital first
🧱 Long Term
SIP investors don’t need to change anything Volatility is part of wealth creation Quality businesses don’t lose value because of dull weeks
The market rewards discipline, not impatience.
