On December 10, 2025, Indian stock markets started the day in the green, with Nifty50 trading above 25,850 and Sensex up over 100 points. Despite a tough market structure and ongoing selling by foreign investors, experts believe positive fundamentals could soon drive a recovery. Here’s a simple breakdown of what’s happening in Dalal Street today.
Market Open and Early Trends
-
Nifty50 opened above 25,850, trading at 25,865.25 at 9:17 AM, up 26 points or 0.099%.
-
BSE Sensex was at 84,804.28, up 138 points.
-
Both indices showed a positive start, but broader market indices faced heavy selling pressure.
Expert Views on Market Sentiment
Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments Limited, shared his insights:
-
“As the year ends, the market structure is becoming challenging. Heavy selling in the broader market is justified since valuations have been high due to liquidity.”
-
“Weakness in the overall market and sustained selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) are disappointing.”
-
“A major concern is the delay in finalizing the US-India trade deal. President Trump’s remarks about India dumping rice in the US hurt market sentiment further.”
Positive Fundamentals Ahead
Despite current challenges, experts see reasons for optimism:
-
Higher growth and corporate earnings are expected in the coming quarters.
-
Fiscal and monetary stimulus this year are starting to show results.
-
The excessively low inflation rate, which affected nominal GDP growth, is expected to rise in the coming quarters. This is important because corporate earnings growth is more influenced by nominal GDP growth than real GDP growth.
-
Valuations in the large-cap segment have become fair, which is a positive sign.
Global Market Impact
-
The S&P 500 declined on Tuesday as investors anticipated hawkish Federal Reserve messaging, despite potential rate cuts.
-
Asian markets showed modest gains after Wall Street’s subdued session, with investors awaiting the Federal Reserve’s final interest rate decision of the year.
-
Foreign portfolio investors recorded net sales of ₹3,760 crore on Tuesday, while domestic institutional investors showed net purchases of ₹6,225 crore.
What Investors Should Watch
-
Market structure remains challenging, but positive fundamentals could support a recovery.
-
The delay in the US-India trade deal and global economic trends are key factors to monitor.
-
Investors should keep faith and wait for fundamentals to play out.
