Indian Markets Post Market Report (December 30, 2025) — Flat close, noisy expiry
Indian Markets Post Market Report begins on a quiet note today, with year-end expiry flows keeping the indices flat while sector-specific moves dominated the session. If you blinked today, you probably missed the index move… but if you looked under the hood, you saw plenty of “expiry day tug-of-war.” Year-end positioning + monthly F&O expiry kept traders busy, while investors stayed picky and cautious.
✅ Indian Markets Post Market Report – Closing Snapshot (Nifty 50, Sensex, Bank Nifty)
Nifty 50: 25,938.85 (−3.25 | −0.01%)
Sensex: 84,675.08 (−20.46 | −0.02%)
Bank Nifty: 59,171.25 (+238.90 | +0.41%)
Market mood in one line: “Nothing moved much… but everything tried to.”
📌 What actually shaped the day?
1) Expiry-day flows = fast reversals, limited follow-through
Monthly expiry tends to do this: sharp intraday swings, sudden hedging, and stock-specific moves—then a flat-looking close. Moneycontrol also flagged thin year-end volumes and cautious sentiment through the session.
2) FII tone still a headwind (year-end risk-off)
Foreign selling has been a recurring theme in the background, and Reuters highlighted persistent foreign outflows as part of the cautious setup.
This matters because even when local buyers support dips, sustained FII selling can cap upside.
3) Sector rotation was the real story
Today wasn’t “bullish” or “bearish”—it was rotation: strength in Metal/Auto/PSU Banks, while IT remained soft.
🧭 Sector Performance (what led, what lagged)
✅ Strong pockets
Nifty Metal: best performer (around +2%)
Auto: up around +1%
PSU Banks: up close to +2%
⚠️ Weak pockets
Nifty IT: lagged (about −0.7% on the day) Realty/Consumer Durables/Healthcare also softer in the mix.
Interpretation (simple): risk wasn’t switched “on,” it was selectively parked where valuations and momentum felt safer (metals/auto/PSU banks), while IT stayed under pressure.

🧱 Support & Resistance Levels (for the next session)
These are practical trader levels based on today’s close + nearby swing zones (not a guarantee—just planning levels).
🟦 Nifty 50 levels
Support: 25,850 / 25,780
Resistance: 26,050 / 26,150
🟧 Bank Nifty levels

🌡️ India VIX (volatility check)
VIX has been subdued in single digits recently; for example, it was reported around 9.68 in the prior session context, indicating relatively calm expectations. icicidirect
Meaning: big trending moves are harder when VIX is sleeping—markets often chop and rotate instead.
💰 FII & DII Activity (latest available)
For the latest available provisional cash data, the most recent posted figures show: Latest available data on 29 Dec 2025.
FII net: −2,759.89 cr
DII net: +2,643.85 cr
Takeaway: The pattern stays familiar—foreign selling, domestic support. That combination often produces exactly what we saw today: a flat index with a busy market underneath.
🛢️ Commodity Update (global cues that influence India)
🟡 Gold & Silver
Gold ~ ₹1,37,000 /10 grams rebounded as safe-haven demand returned (global spot up around 1% in the report).
Silver ~ ₹2,41,214/kg also bounced sharply after volatility (strong move noted).
⚫ Crude Oil
Brent~$61.63/bbl
WTI~$58.22/bbl
Oil was little changed with traders balancing geopolitics and oversupply worries; Reuters cited Brent near the low $60s and WTI near the high $50s in that update. reuters
Why you care for markets:
Higher crude → pressure on inflation + margins (especially paint, logistics, aviation). Strong gold/silver → “risk-hedge” demand + global uncertainty tone.
🧾 IPO Updates
No loud mainboard buzz in this year-end window, but SME issues remain active.
A weekly IPO overview noted SME issues in focus (e.g., E to E Transportation and an upcoming opening for Modern Diagnostic).
🏛️ SEBI Updates (quick, relevant)
Recent SEBI circulars in December included items like:
Periodic disclosure requirements for Securitised Debt Instruments (SDIs) (Dec 16) Modification in conditions for reduction in denomination of debt securities (Dec 18) SEBI
(These don’t move Nifty daily, but they matter for market structure and compliance trends.)
⭐ Stock of the Day (educational, not a call)
Bajaj Auto (from today’s top gainers list)
Why it’s worth studying (learning angle):
It showed relative strength even on a flat, expiry-heavy day—this often signals institutional preference.
For learners: watch how strong stocks behave when indices go nowhere. That “quiet strength” is a real skill to spot.
Learning plan: track it for 2–3 sessions: does it hold gains, or give them back? That answer teaches more than any one-day move.
📌 Short-term vs Long-term view
Short-term (next 1–5 sessions)
Expect range behavior unless we get a strong trigger (global risk move, big FII reversal, surprise data). With VIX calm and year-end flows, markets can stay “sideways but noisy.”
Long-term (3–12 months mindset)
If you’re investing (not trading), the best habit is boring but powerful:
SIP discipline Diversification Don’t let one flat week change your plan Year-end churn is common—what matters is how leadership (sectors/stocks) sets up for the new quarter.
