Indian Stock Market Declines for Second Consecutive Session
The Indian stock market experienced a decline for the second consecutive session on Tuesday, primarily driven by a downturn in information technology shares. Investor caution ahead of the US Federal Reserve's interest rate decision and ongoing uncertainty regarding the India-US trade deal affected market sentiment.
Market Performance
The Nifty 50 decreased by 0.47% to 25,839.65, while the BSE Sensex fell 0.51% to 84,666.28. Both indices have experienced a drop of approximately 1.2% this week so far and are now nearly 1.8% below the all-time highs reached earlier this month.
US Fed Meet and Interest Rate Decision
The US Federal Reserve holds its two-day monetary policy meeting starting Tuesday, December 9, 2025, with the decision on interest rates set to be revealed on Wednesday, December 10, 2025. Market participants largely anticipate that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will reduce interest rates, and Fed Chair Jerome Powell may indicate a less aggressive easing cycle than previously thought.
IPO Buzz and Market Outlook
Wednesday's session will be an active one in the primary market, with several IPOs making their debut in the Indian stock market. Meanwhile, market experts believe that comments from central banks, fluctuations in currency, and foreign institutional investor (FII) flows will influence market sentiment, while the robustness of domestic macros is anticipated to offer protection against potential downturns.
Silver Prices Surge
Silver surpassed $60 an ounce for the first time as traders speculated on further monetary easing from the Federal Reserve and ongoing supply constraints. Spot silver prices climbed up to 4.1% to reach $60.535 an ounce, eclipsing its previous high set just last week.
