GIFT Nifty Analyzed: Key Market Signals

The GIFT Nifty December 2025 futures dropped 33.50 points at the start of the trading day, suggesting a quiet beginning for the Nifty 50. This indicates that investors are cautious about the direction of the Indian stock market today. It’s a signal that things might be a little unpredictable.

Key Points

• Foreign investors sold a lot of shares (Rs 2,381.92 crore).
• Domestic investors bought some shares (Rs 1,077.48 crore).
• Foreign investors have sold a total of Rs 23,455.75 crore in December.
• U.S. markets were mixed, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones falling.
• Japan’s exports grew, but U.S. jobs numbers were weaker.
• Oil prices rose due to potential disruptions in Venezuela.

Global markets were showing mixed signals. Asian markets were reacting to trade data from Japan, which showed a surprising increase in exports. However, in the United States, the S&P 500 and Dow Jones indices were down, reflecting concerns about the economy.

The U.S. jobs report was a key focus. November’s payroll numbers were stronger than expected, but October’s numbers were disappointing, and unemployment rose to a four-year high. These numbers showed some weakness in the U.S. economy.

Oil prices increased because there was talk about a potential block on oil tankers, which could affect the world’s supply. This made investors nervous about energy prices.

Back in India, the stock market continued to struggle. Investors were worried about foreign money leaving the country (foreign portfolio outflows) and also about potential trade deals between the U.S. and other countries. This made them hesitant to invest.

The Nifty 50 and S&P BSE Sensex both fell significantly, demonstrating the continued downward pressure on the Indian stock market. These declines were driven by uncertainty and global economic concerns.
