Indian Markets Post Market Report-Dec 8, 2025

Indian Markets Post Market Report — 8 December 2025 – The market opened this Monday with a bit of a hangover from last week’s excitement. After Friday’s strong RBI-driven rally, many traders clearly came in with profit-booking on their minds. And it showed almost immediately—Nifty couldn’t hold its early levels, Bank Nifty struggled through most of the session, and Sensex slipped steadily without any real attempt at recovery.

By the end of the day, Nifty had dropped to 25,960, giving up the 26k mark again.

Sensex wasn’t any stronger, closing around 85,102, roughly six hundred points down.

Bank Nifty had the toughest day of the three, ending a shade below 59,240, which honestly wasn’t surprising given the sort of selling financials faced across the board.

The market mood felt more like traders wanted to take a step back and wait for the US Fed decision coming later this week. Nobody wanted to hold big risk overnight, and that cautious tone spread across most sectors.

What Actually Moved Today

There wasn’t one single trigger that spoiled the party, but a few things lined up:

Global markets weren’t helpful. Asian shares were mixed, and Europe opened just as indecisive. Crude oil continued hovering on the higher side, and the rupee stayed weak—never comforting for sentiment. After last week’s rally, especially in banks, it simply felt like the market needed to cool off.

Even midcaps and smallcaps, which sometimes show their own personality, couldn’t escape the selloff. Broader market breadth was firmly negative almost all day.

🏆 Top 5 Gainers & Losers (Today)

🔺 Top 5 Gainers – Large-Cap Focus

Very few names bucked the trend. In fact, IT stocks were the only ones offering any shade today.

1.Tech Mahindra actually ended green, around 1.34% up.

2.Wipro managed a small gain 0.57%.

3.HCL Tech stayed flat-to-positive 0.33% respectable on a day like this.

4.Reliance 0.16%

That’s about it. Everything else looked shaky.

🔻Top 5 Losers – Heavyweights Under Pressure

The Worse Hit:

1.Indigo (InterGlobe Aviation) fell hard—around 8.32%. Operational concerns and news around flight issues weighed heavily.

2.BEL (Bharat Electronics) corrected almost 5%, likely just profit booking after a solid run recently.

3.JSW Steel slipped more than 3.71% as metals had an off day.

4.Zomato (Eternal) was down 2.45% adding to pressure on Nifty.

5.Nestle down 2.57%

If you looked at the heatmap today, it almost felt like IT was the only green patch.

🧭 Sector Performance: Who Led, Who Lagged

Sector View — Mostly Red Screens Today

Realty, PSU Banks, Media, Defence stocks were hit the worst. Banking in general looked tired after the RBI-day excitement.

IT was the only sector that held up fairly well—possibly because traders were hunting for some defensiveness and the rupee weakness helped export-heavy names.

🔧 Support & Resistance Levels – What to Watch Next

Nifty

Support: 25,900, then 25,700 if things slip again.

Resistance: 26,200–26,400. The market tried to push past this last week and failed, so sellers are clearly sitting there.

Bank Nifty

Support: Roughly around 59,000. Losing that may invite deeper selling.

Resistance: 60,000 remains the psychological line banks haven’t convincingly crossed.

Sensex

Support: About 84,400–84,600.

Resistance: Around 86,000+.

Today’s close wasn’t encouraging for bulls, but nothing broke technically either.

📉 Volatility & Market Mood (VIX, FII/DII, Sentiment)

India VIX moved up to around 11.1, which is still low historically, but the uptick tells you traders are on alert ahead of the Fed meeting. Nothing dramatic, but enough to make people trim leveraged positions.

FII–DII Flow Snapshot

FIIs were net sellers -₹655.59 Crores.

FIIs were net buyers ₹2,542.49 Crores.

This has been the pattern for weeks now—domestic flows supporting the market while global investors stay cautious.

📦 IPO & Primary Markets – What’s Happening

Corona Remedies’ IPO opened today and saw steady subscription on Day 1.

Two SME listings—Speb Adhesives and Astron Multigrain—saw mixed outcomes: one opened strong while the other listed below issue price.

The liquidity in SME space continues to be unpredictable.

🪙 Commodities & Currency — Still Tight

🌕 Gold & 🥈 Silver

Prices remained elevated:

Gold: ~₹1,30,489 per 10 grams

Silver: Around ₹1,82,847 per kg

Nothing alarming, but still close to the higher end of the range.

🛢️Crude Oil

Brent is $63.09 per barrel,

WTI in the $59.42, based on the latest available quotes.

💱 USD/INR – Rupee

Closed near ₹90.09 against the dollar—weak, but stable.

A weak rupee + firm crude = cautious equities, especially for consumption and oil-sensitive pockets.

🧭 Short-Term vs Long-Term View

🔹Short Term

The market looks like it is cooling after a strong run.

Nifty must defend 25,900 or else lower levels could come quickly.

Bank Nifty needs to wake up soon or bulls may give up some ground.

🔹Long Term

India’s growth story hasn’t changed.

SIP flows remain strong.

Corrections like today are usually healthy in the bigger picture.

Long-term investors generally treat such dips as accumulation opportunities, provided they stick to quality.

⭐ Stock of the Day — Tech Mahindra

Not because it flew, but because it held up on a bad day.

Sometimes resilience speaks louder than rallies.

IT also looks like it wants to build its own narrative separate from the broader market, at least for now.
