The Indian stock market witnessed a significant surge on Friday, 19 December 2025, with the benchmark indices rallying after investors showed strong buying interest amid a Bank of Japan (BoJ) rate hike. This sudden increase has left many investors wondering what's behind this trend and which stocks are leading the charge.
Market Outlook
The Nifty 50 index closed 0.58% higher at 25,966.40 points, while the BSE Sensex index closed 0.53% higher at 84,929.36 points. This uptick in the market has been attributed to value buying at lower levels, recent foreign institutional investor inflows, and a marginal recovery in the Indian rupee.
