Stock Market Today | Share Market Highlights - Find here all the highlights related to Sensex, Nifty, BSE, NSE, share prices and Indian stock markets for 23 December 2025.
Domestic markets settled flat on Tuesday, weighed by losses in information technology stocks and thin year-end trading volumes as investors looked to the upcoming third-quarter earnings season for a confidence boost.
The Nifty 50 added 0.02% to 26,177.15, and the BSE Sensex shed 0.05% to 85,524.84.
On the day, nine of the 16 major sectors logged losses. The broader small-caps rose 0.4% while mid-caps closed flat.
In the last two sessions, the 50-stock Nifty rose 1.4% and the Sensex gained 1.3%.
IT stocks lost 0.8% on the day, pulling back after gaining 3.7% in the last four sessions from a weak rupee that is still hovering near record lows and rising hopes of U.S. rate cut in 2026.
A rate cut in the key United States market will improve sentiment and spur client spending for export-linked sectors such as IT.
Among individual stocks, Coal India jumped 3.7% on reports its subsidiary Bharat Coking Coal will hit public markets for a $145 million listing in the next couple of weeks.
Shriram Finance rose 2.5%, taking its three-day gains to 10.2% since its $4.4 billion deal with MUFG.
Ambuja Cements jumped 1.3% after approving the merger of ACC and Orient Cement, which is projected to lead to about 10% value accretion for Ambuja’s shareholders.
Canara HSBC Life gained 5.2% after Investec initiated coverage with a “Buy”.
Investors are also awaiting a key U.S. GDP estimate due later in the day, which is expected to show brisk 3.3% growth in the September quarter. A strong reading could boost momentum in IT and pharma stocks, which derive a significant share of their revenue from the world’s largest economy.

Stock Market Live Updates: Justin Khoo, Senior Market Analyst - APAC, VT Market
Gold and silver are closing 2025 firmly in macro-hedge territory rather than trading as conventional commodities. Spot gold is holding near $4,420–$4,440 per ounce, while silver trades around $68–$69 per ounce, both hovering close to record highs. Despite the Federal Reserve’s recent 25 bps rate cut, U.S. 10-year yields remain elevated near 4.2%, reinforcing the market’s concern over long-term inflation, fiscal sustainability, and rising term premia. This yield resilience explains gold’s consolidation rather than a sharp breakout, as investors balance rate relief against structural debt risks. Silver continues to outperform on a relative basis, benefiting from its dual role as a monetary metal and an industrial asset, positioning it for further upside after any near-term retracement. With expanding U.S. debt issuance, persistent geopolitical uncertainty, and potential volatility from global carry-trade unwinds, particularly linked to Japan, precious metals remain strategically bid. We view pullbacks in gold as accumulation opportunities, while silver offers a higher-beta expression of macro stress heading into 2026.
December 23, 2025 13:27
Stock Market Live Updates: Renisha Chainani, head of research at Augmont, writes -Gold touches a new record above $4500, and Silver above $70
• Gold prices surpassed $4500 (~Rs 138,000) for the 50th record-breaking session this year, while silver reached a new high of $70 (~Rs 216,000) due to expectations of looser US monetary policy and rising geopolitical tensions.
• Markets are presently pricing in two quarter-point rate cuts by the Federal Reserve next year, despite evidence of softening inflation and a cooling labour market.
• Rising tensions between the US and Venezuela have also boosted safe-haven demand, as Washington tightened its naval blockade of the region with the seizure of a second oil tanker on Saturday and the active pursuit of a third.
• Investors are now focusing on the second estimate of third-quarter US GDP, which is due later today and might provide further insight into the health of the US economy and the future course of Fed policy.
Technical Triggers\u0009
• As suggested, Gold has touched the target resistance of $4500 (~Rs 138,000). Gold broke its previous high of $4400, after two months of consolidation between $3935 and $4400, so this rally is expected to extend further towards $4575(~Rs 140,000) and $5000(~Rs 150,000) in a few weeks.
• As suggested, Silver has touched the first target resistance of $70(~Rs 216,000). If Silver continues its bullish momentum, the next target is $72 (Rs 223,000). The uptrend is intact until prices are trading above $67.50 (~Rs 209,000) support.

GIFT Nifty 🇮🇳: (+19, 26230)
# Market Recap:
In Monday’s trade, Nifty sprinted higher as bulls carried forward Friday’s bullish baton, setting the tone for a spirited session.
Investors clanged to hopes of a Santa Claus rally.
Benchmark Indices as on Tuesday’s close:
NIFTY (+206, 26172)
SENSEX (+638, 85567)
BANK NIFTY (+235, 59304)
# Our Call of the Day: Bullish consolidation shall be the preferred theme.
For Dalal Street, the message is clear: liquidity is flowing, sentiment is firming, and frontline stocks stand to benefit first — especially metals, energy, financials, and capital goods.
# The 2-key positive catalyst:
1) Sentiments are buoyed on hopes of a Santa Claus rally
2) Wall Street rises as Christmas and Year-End Rally Rolls On
# What Technicals Tells Us On Nifty:
Technically, Nifty’s near-term setup has improved significantly with all bullish eyes on Nifty’s all-time high of 26,326.
For the day, bulls will aim to dictate momentum, the crucial support at 25,907 remains the line in the sand — a breakdown below this level could accelerate downside pressure.
# Long Story Short: For Dalal Street, the message is clear: liquidity is flowing, sentiment is firming, and frontline stocks stand to benefit first — especially metals, energy, financials, and capital goods.
# Bottom-line: Nifty appears well-placed to reclaim its all-time high of 26,326, riding on a distinctly dovish Federal Reserve backdrop.
The encouraging news is that another 25 bps rate cut by the Fed could be on the table as early as January, reinforcing the global liquidity narrative.
Historically, lower US policy rates act as fuel for global risk appetite. For emerging markets like India, this typically translates into stronger foreign inflows, improved rupee stability, and abundant liquidity, all of which are supportive for equities.
Adding to the optimism, a healthier US growth outlook tends to boost demand for Indian exports, providing a meaningful tailwind to IT and other export-oriented frontline stocks.
In essence, when US rates head lower, global capital naturally rotates toward higher-growth, higher-yielding markets — and India stands out as a prime beneficiary.
The stage, therefore, looks set for Nifty and its frontline stocks to ride the next leg of the risk-on rally.
Yipeee!
# STOCKS IN SPOTLIGHT:
1) Tata Motors (+4.36%, ₹ 411.55)
Tata Motors jumped after a global brokerage-initiated coverage on its commercial vehicle business with a Buy rating and a target price of Rs 481.
2) GE Vernova T&D India (+4.55%, ₹ 3,060)
GE Vernova T&D jumped out of the gate, after securing a multi-year HVDC project from Adani Energy Solutions.
3) Varun Beverages (+3.64%, ₹ 486.50)
Varun Beverages rose after the company shared details of its proposed acquisition of South Africa based Twizza Proprietary. The company said the acquisition will be executed through its wholly owned subsidiary in South Africa.
4) Bondada Engineering (+2.88%, ₹367.70)
Bondada Engineering surged after the company announced that it has secured a large and strategically significant EPC order worth Rs 945.10 crore from NLC India Renewables on behalf of NLC India.

Stock Market live updates: Motilal Oswal Research expects 25bps rate cut by RBI
The RBI is expected to deliver a further 25bp rate cut in February as inflation remains well below target, driven by soft food prices, stable commodity prices, and strong kharif and rabi crop output. Core inflation is also subdued, signaling limited demand-side pressures. MPC members in the December policy minutes highlighted that very low inflation compresses pricing power, may weigh on margins, and could dent investment, reinforcing the need for supportive monetary policy. Meanwhile, high-frequency indicators point to moderation in growth, particularly for MSMEs exposed to trade and tariff uncertainties. The December cut has already eased real rates, and with inflation projected to remain below ~4% in H1FY27, the February easing would provide additional support to consumption and investment without pushing real rates into overly accommodative territory.

Stock Market Live Today: Aditi Nayar, Chief Economist, ICRA Ltd. on Core Sector Growth data in November
“While core sector growth expectedly improved in November 2025 after the festive season, it remained tepid at 1.8%. The sequential improvement in YoY growth between October and November was led by a majority of the sectors, with a particularly sharp pickup in cement (to 14.5% from 5.2%). Given the base effects and shift in the festive calendar, it would be more prudent to assess the average for October and November 2025, which stands at a meagre 0.8%, lower than the average growth of 3.0% recorded in H1 FY2026. Based on the core sector growth and other high-frequency indicators, we expect the IIP to rise by 3.5-4.5% in November 2025.”

Stock Market Live Updates: India's stock rally hides slew of potential year-end bargains: Raychaudhuri
India’s flagship equity indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are near all-time highs, despite underperforming many Asian peers. Yet this exuberance hides another reality: many stocks are trading near their 52-week lows. These beaten-down names may offer investors some attractive year-end bargains.
While Indian equities are up some 9.5% for the year as a whole, this rally is concentrated in a relatively small group of firms.
When looking at the shares of 828 Indian companies with more than $500 million in market value, stocks of 109 were within 5% of their 52-week lows and another 139 were only slightly above this level, as of December 5. In combination, these two categories of flagging stocks are roughly double the number of large Indian stocks trading close to 52-week highs.
It’s easy to assume these stocks are cheap for a reason, but, in many cases, their fundamentals tell a different story. For many of these laggards, earnings growth forecasts are robust, their balance sheets are healthy, and their valuations remain reasonable.
In fact, 14 of the 109 beaten-down stocks clear a high bar, with expected earnings per share growth of more than 10% through 2027, low net debt, and price-to-earnings ratios at or below their forecast growth, according to the FactSet consensus. (Reuters)
