📰 Market Summary: Sensex & Nifty End Lower Again
Indian stock markets continued their downward trend for the fourth consecutive day on Wednesday, December 3, 2025. Persistent foreign fund outflows, combined with profit-booking, kept investor sentiment weak.
- Sensex: Down 31.46 points (0.04%) at 85,106.81
- Nifty 50: Down 46.20 points (0.18%) at 25,986
During the day, the Sensex even fell as much as 374 points, touching an intraday low of 84,763.64, before recovering slightly by market close.
📉 Major Losers: Selling Pressure Across Key Sectors
Several heavyweight stocks dragged the market down, especially in the banking, auto, defence, and PSU sectors.
Top Laggards from Sensex:
- Bharat Electronics (BEL)
- Mahindra & Mahindra
- Titan
- NTPC
- State Bank of India
- Adani Ports
- Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles
- Bajaj Finserv
Profit-taking and FII selling put downward pressure on these counters.
📈 Major Gainers: IT & Private Banks Support Market
A few large-cap stocks provided some cushion to the market:
- TCS
- ICICI Bank
- Infosys
- HDFC Bank
The strength in IT and banking helped offset deeper losses.
💸 FII Vs DII Activity: Key Reason Behind Market Fall
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued their aggressive selling streak, offloading:
- ₹3,642.30 crore on December 2, 2025
In contrast, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) remained strong buyers, investing:
- ₹4,645.94 crore on the same day
Despite DII support, heavy FII selling kept the market under pressure.
🌏 Global Market Sentiments: Mixed Signals
Indian markets reacted partly to global cues:
Asia:
- South Korea (Kospi): Positive
- Japan (Nikkei 225): Positive
- China (SSE Composite): Negative
- Hong Kong (Hang Seng): Negative
Europe: Mostly trading higher
U.S. Markets: Ended higher on December 2, 2025
Global markets appear mixed, but India faces more domestic concerns due to FII outflows.
🛢️ Crude Oil Movement
Brent crude climbed 0.99%, trading at $63.07 per barrel, adding slight pressure to emerging markets like India.
📉 Market Movement Earlier This Week
On December 2, 2025 (Tuesday):
- Sensex: Dropped 503.63 pts (0.59%)
- Nifty: Fell 143.55 pts (0.55%)
This consistent decline highlights the current cautious market environment.
🔍 Why Are Markets Falling? Key Factors
- Relentless foreign fund outflows
- Profit-taking by investors after recent highs
- Weakness in PSU, auto, banking & defence stocks
- Mixed global cues
- Rising crude oil prices
🔮 What Should Investors Do Now?
✔ Stay calm — markets often correct after strong rallies
✔ Focus on quality large-caps (TCS, ICICI, HDFC Bank showing stability)
✔ Avoid impulsive buying during volatility
✔ Track upcoming data like inflation, global cues, and FII flow
✔ SIP investors should continue — dips improve long-term returns
🏁 Conclusion
The Indian stock market remains under pressure due to persistent FII selling and profit-booking. While Sensex and Nifty closed slightly lower today, the broader trend indicates caution among investors. However, strong buying by DIIs shows faith in the market’s long-term growth.
