    Stock markets today: INR slide below 90 brings ‘mixed consequences’, says Brickwork Ratings

    Rajeev Sharan, Head – Criteria, Model Development & Research, Brickwork Ratings writes:

    The rupee’s fall below 90 against the dollar brings mixed consequences. While export sectors like IT and textiles gain competitiveness, higher import costs for crude and raw materials will squeeze margins and widen the trade deficit. Rising inflationary pressures could dampen consumer demand and corporate profitability, while firms with unhedged foreign borrowings may face financial stress. These pressures could weigh on credit profiles in vulnerable industries. Following initial volatility, we expect the rupee to settle below 90 as fundamentals rebalance and markets adjust to the new equilibrium.

    Stock markets today: Bitcoin stabilises near $93k but rally loses steam: Giottus CEO

    Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus.com:

    Quote : “Bitcoin extended its recovery for a third straight session and held near $93,000 after a 10% rebound from Monday’s $84,000 lows. The move puts BTC roughly in line with its estimated production cost at $92,000, according to network valuation models. This suggests that the market is back in equilibrium after November’s heavy drawdown. Still, the rally appears to be losing momentum near the 2025 yearly open, which is a key resistance level that has capped price advances so far. Leverage and funding remain subdued, signalling that most traders are cautious rather than chasing upside. The recent bounce has been driven more by ETF flows and positioning than by renewed retail participation. This leaves Bitcoin in a technically balanced but sentiment-sensitive zone.

    Macro conditions continue to dominate the narrative. Weak U.S. labour and consumer data have reinforced expectations of a December US Fed rate cut. Markets are pricing in an 87% probability. Treasury yields have retreated and gold climbed back toward record levels with investors anticipating a return to looser liquidity conditions. Yet the optimism is tempered by uncertainty around AI-driven equity valuations and slowing corporate spending. For crypto, this combination of slowing growth and easier policy tends to reduce downside risk while limiting immediate upside. Here, capital remains defensive even in a liquidity-friendly environment.

    Altcoins joined the rebound strongly. Ether was up to $3,200 to hit its highest in two weeks. ADA, SOL, and LINK extended gains from earlier in the week. Derivatives data, however, show that bullish leverage remains thin despite these price improvements. This indicates that traders are reluctant to overextend until macro clarity improves. Crypto-linked equities also recovered, led by Circle and Gemini, which rose around 8-10%. Overall, the market is stabilising, but conviction remains fragile.

    Our advice: For investors, the practical markers now are this: watch if BTC can close above $94,000 with rising spot volumes. Keep an on ETF inflows as the main driver of upside, and treat the $88,000-$90,000 range as the first demand zone where long-term buyers have been active this week.”

    Stock market live updates today: Abhinav Tiwari, Research Analyst at Bonanza

    With global markets increasingly confident that the US Federal Reserve will cut rates by 25 bps in its December 9-10 meeting, the focus has now shifted to whether the RBI will follow with its own rate cut. A Fed rate cut matters for India because it narrows the interest rate gap between the two countries. When US rates fall, the yield advantage of investing in India becomes more attractive, reducing the risk of foreign investors pulling money out of Indian debt markets. This easing in external pressure gives RBI more flexibility to adjust its own policy without triggering heavy FII outflows or sharp movements in the rupee. 

    Domestically, inflation has been softening, core inflation remains contained, and growth continues to hold strong momentum. With price pressures under control, RBI has enough policy space to support demand through a modest reduction in rates. A 25 bps cut would help ease borrowing costs, support credit growth, and improve liquidity at a time when global financial conditions are turning more accommodative. While RBI has remained cautious due to currency volatility and external risks, the expected Fed cut significantly reduces those concerns. A lower US rate structure would ease dollar strength and stabilize global capital flows, allowing RBI to priorities domestic growth and lower real rates without risking major rupee depreciation. 

    In this situation, a small 25 bps rate cut looks quite likely. With inflation under control at home and global central banks also moving toward lower rates, the December MPC meeting could be the start of RBI slowly reducing interest rates again.

    Stock market live updates today: Pranay Aggarwal, Director and CEO of Stoxkart, says Putin’s India visit may spark a defence-sector surge as investors anticipate fresh deals and growth momentum

    As Russian President Vladimir Putin’s two-day state visit to India begins on December 4, 2025, for the 23rd India-Russia Annual Summit—his first since the Ukraine conflict escalated—it highlights a renewed emphasis on defence ties, with Putin joined by key defence officials and arms export leaders to advance discussions on expanding air defence systems, introducing cutting-edge missile technologies, and procuring advanced stealth fighters, complemented by a new logistics agreement for shared military support, all designed to strengthen bilateral relations and counter external pressures while reinforcing Russia’s position as a primary defence partner amid India’s broader diversification strategy. This dovetails with the Indian government’s intensified commitment to the defence sector, marked by a substantial budget increase that prioritizes reforms, boosts capital investments for modernization, promotes domestic sourcing, enhances research and development, and advances self-reliance initiatives to build a more autonomous military capability in response to regional security challenges. The sector’s outlook is optimistic, with steady market expansion anticipated over the coming years, supported by robust revenue growth, rising production levels, and increasing exports, driven by innovative startups, technology incubation programs, and long-term modernization efforts across naval, air, and land domains to establish India as a prominent player in global defence technology. The order pipeline remains strong and expansive, bolstered by numerous recent contracts heavily favoring indigenous suppliers, encompassing approvals for unmanned systems, artillery upgrades, radar enhancements, new-generation naval vessels, missile platforms, and submarine developments, with the ongoing summit expected to accelerate Russia-related procurements in air defence and aviation in the near term. Despite these positive drivers, sector valuations, appear elevated, with the relevant index experiencing recent pullbacks due to profit-taking and market dynamics, trading at premiums compared to broader benchmarks following a sharp year-to-date rise, though corrections may present opportunities for long-term investors betting on sustained earnings growth, balanced against potential implementation hurdles and international uncertainties.

    Stock market live updates today: Ayekart launches Aantriva: A unified AI-enabled platform to streamline India’s agri-food ecosystem, targeting ₹30,000 crore throughput over the next three years

    Ayekart, one of India’s leading integrated agri-food networks, today announced the launch of Aantriva, a unified AI-enabled platform designed to bring efficiency, transparency, and intelligence to India’s fragmented agri-food value chain.

    Despite rapid growth in India’s agriculture and FMCG sectors, the agri-food ecosystem continues to operate in silos. Farmers and FPOs struggle with limited market access, delayed payments, weak price discovery, and a lack of formal credit. Processors face inconsistent supply, quality variation, and working capital constraints. FMCG players and manufacturers lack reliable data on consumption, demography, trends, indirect distribution, and last-mile retail. Financial institutions continue to deal with weak digital footprints, unverified transactions, and limited credit histories of farmers and MSMEs in the sector. 

    Speaking on the launch, Debarshi Dutta, Co-founder & CEO, Ayekart, said: “Aantriva is backed by more than four and a half years of Ayekart’s on-ground experience in the agri-food network, supporting over 3,00,000 farmers, 530 FPOs, and more than 30,000 retailers. This AI-enabled platform has been built to address the structural challenges of India’s agri-food sector through an integrated architecture that brings end-to-end visibility across sourcing, processing, distribution, and finance. Aantriva leverages data on weather, prices, GIS and government policies to deliver predictive insights on crop intelligence, price discovery, and weather forecasting. It also helps reduce the carbon footprint across the value chain by enabling efficient route planning for transportation and supply movement. The platform further simplifies ordering through an AI-driven voice interface connected to WhatsApp, making transactions faster and more intuitive. By strengthening every stage of the farm-to-shelf journey, Aantriva cuts inefficiencies, reduces wastage, improves planning, and supports smoother financial workflows for farmers, FPOs, processors, brands, and financial institutions.”

    By bringing structured intelligence into a traditionally fragmented system, Aantriva supports more predictable procurement, better demand alignment, traceable movement of goods, and reliable transaction trails for financial institutions. As the network expands, it is expected to create stronger supply-chain linkages, reduce avoidable losses, and provide stakeholders with the information they need to take timely, market-aligned decisions. Ayekart will continue enhancing Aantriva with advanced intelligence capabilities, ensuring that India’s agri-food ecosystem becomes increasingly connected, data-ready, and future-compatible.

    Stock markets today: MPC expectations quote by Umesh Sharma, CIO-Debt, The Wealth Company Mutual Fund

    “Recent data after the October MPC meeting has made the outlook for a December rate cut trickier to forecast. While soft inflation prints indicate policy space is available, recent developments have muddled the picture. Demand has held up better than expected following fiscal and monetary measures, and credit growth has continued to rise, with a high credit–deposit ratio limiting monetary transmission. Foreign-exchange intervention, undertaken to manage external pressures, has also reduced system liquidity.

    Global conditions remain mixed. Communication from the U.S. Federal Reserve has been uneven, and discussions around future leadership have raised questions about policy predictability. U.S. growth remains firm, and the dollar has stabilised, for now. India’s inclusion in the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index could support debt-market flows, though these may be balanced by fiscal risks and higher future spending commitments.

    Given these factors, further rate cuts may have limited impact. In our view, the preferred approach for RBI MPC should be to maintain a firmly dovish tone emphasizing space for further monetary accommodation while assuring the market on provision of ample liquidity.”

    Stock market live updates today: Renisha Chainani, head of research at Augmont, on gold and silver price movements:

    · Gold and silver remain at record highs, as investors gain confidence in a Federal Reserve rate cut next week and ETF inflows continue. Silver-backed ETFs added almost 200 tons on Tuesday, bringing overall holdings to their highest level since 2022 due to strong demand.

    · ADP figures for November revealed an unexpected fall of 32,000 private-sector jobs, considerably below expectations for a 10,000 increase and the third drop in four months. This is the steepest hiring slowdown since 2023, fueling concerns about a slowing US labour market.

    · The news was consistent with dovish comments from Fed policymakers, who underlined the need to address slowing employment creation. In response, rate futures priced in a roughly 90% possibility of a 25-basis point cut next week.

    · Silver has risen 100% this year due to concerns about market liquidity, following outflows to US and Chinese inventory, inclusion on the US vital minerals list, and a structural supply deficit.

    Stock market live updates today: Pre-MPC expert comments from Kunal Shah, Co-founder, SURE (India’s first liability management platform)

    Kunal Shah, Co-founder, SURE: “As the RBI’s MPC meets, the realised inflation and the trajectory provides space for RBI to ease interest rates to improve the transmission, however the weakening rupee and strong GDP might push the same for February meeting. The expert expectations are divided on the status quo or a cut. A pause provides stability but does not immediately ease pressure on borrowers, many of whom are still coping with elevated EMIs on floating-rate loans taken over the past two years.

    “However, the more consequential development for the home loan ecosystem is the RBI’s recent move allowing lenders to revise the interest rate ‘spread’ based on an improving credit score, independent of the rate cycle. This directly tackles the issue of ‘silent overpayment’ and strengthens borrower rights. While discussions around a small rate cut may continue, dynamic and data-driven spread adjustments will have a far more durable impact by enabling financially disciplined borrowers to secure pricing that genuinely reflects their credit strength. If implemented effectively, this shift could redefine how pricing fairness is benchmarked across the sector”.

    OW, TP Rs 1300

    Along with JFE’s technological expertise, JSW is looking to leverage its project execution capabilities to participate in multi-decade growth opportunities

    JFE will invest ~Rs158bn in two tranches for a 50% stake, implying Rs315bn equity value for new entity

    JSW Steel will receive Rs245bn in cash for slump sale of its stake

    JSW will also get Rs79bn through equity dilution on back of a share swap agreement with promoter company that owns 17% of BPSL (totalling ~Rs324bn)

    Deal values BPSL at Rs530bn, implying US$1,400/t of capacity and a forward EV/Ebitda of 13x

    Post transaction, BPSL would be deconsolidated from JSW Steel’s balance sheet with a reduction in JSW Steel’s consol ND/LTM EBITDA from 3.0x currently to 1.7x

    a) deleverage its balance sheet by Rs370bn (effectively reducing ND/EBITDA by ~0.8x on JPMe) and/or provide improved BS strength to pursue accelerated capacity expansions,

    b) enable continued collaboration on value added products with JFE (such as automotive steel and grain-oriented electric sheets).

    Management expects deal to be completed in 6-9 months with key timelines being

    1) slump sale cash consideration of Rs244.83bn by Mar-2026 (includes first tranche of Rs78.75bn by JFE),

    Stock market live updates today: Macro and market update this morning

    The USDINR breached a record low of 90+ as several short-term headwinds emerged simultaneously. A USD ~20bn short forward book (1-3m) and RBI’s stance of limiting its intervention played its part amid nervousness regarding India-US trade and continued selling by FPIs in the face of surge in the trade deficit. India’s current account deficit at 1.3% of GDP in Q3CY25 though sustainable, was highest in CY25. Globally, firmer Japanese bond yields are creating uncertainties in Asia FX specially for the INR which has an average ~60% correlation with a short end of the JGB curve. Considering the short-term and medium factors, we expect the USDINR at 88-88.5 by end CY26. We see short term downside capped at 91.5 levels.

    India and Moscow are discussing the potential manufacturing of Russia-designed nuclear small modular reactors in India, the government informed Parliament on Wednesday. Singh noted that the draft Atomic Energy Bill 2025 is in advanced stages, with inputs from various ministries being progressively incorporated and the Ministry of Law and Justice vetting the document for legal compliance.

    Labour and Employment Minister Mansukh Mandaviya stated on Wednesday that draft rules under the four new labour codes will be pre-published shortly. He added that full implementation and expanded social security coverage are expected by April 2026, enabling the codes to become fully operational by the start of FY27.

    India’s services sector regained momentum in November, with business activity strengthening after a mild October slowdown, according to HSBC PMI data. The seasonally adjusted index rose to 59.8 from 58.9 in the previous month, indicating a historically sharp expansion in output.

    On the international front, U.S. private payrolls saw an unexpected decline in November. Employment fell by 32,000 jobs after a revised gain of 47,000 in October, according to the ADP National Employment Report. Job creation remained flat through the second half of 2025, with November weakness concentrated in manufacturing, professional and business services, information, and construction.

    Meanwhile the U.S. services sector held steady in November, with the ISM Services Index registering 52.6 versus 52.4 in October. While overall activity remained stable, employment stayed subdued and input prices continued to show upward pressure.

    Joseph Lavorgna, counselor to the U.S. Treasury Secretary, noted at Reuters NEXT that lower interest rates could remove the need for a proposed 50-year mortgage aimed at improving housing affordability. He indicated that easing financial conditions would likely achieve similar outcomes without such long-term products.

    In the euro zone Business activity expanded at its fastest pace in two-and-a-half years in November as a robust service sector more than offset manufacturing weakness, a survey showed on Wednesday. Composite PMI rose to 52.8 in November from 52.5 in October, marking its sixth consecutive monthly increase.

    Asian market

    Asia market opened mixed today. Whereas overnight in the US market, all three indices closed on higher end as the latest jobs data from ADP strengthened investors’ conviction that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates next week.

    Stock market live updates today: Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, a SEBI registered online trading and wealth tech firm

    Global markets are offering mixed cues in early morning trade. US equities closed higher overnight after a sharp decline in private payroll data strengthened expectations of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Across Asia, sentiment is uneven, with Japan’s Nikkei edging higher while Korea’s Kospi faces selling pressure. From an Indian standpoint, movement in US bond yields and the US dollar will be crucial, as both will significantly influence foreign investor sentiment. With the RBI policy decision around the corner, volatility is likely to remain elevated, keeping traders cautious at the open. 

    On the domestic front, Indian equities remain in a short-term corrective phase, driven largely by the persistent weakness in the rupee against the dollar and continued FII outflows, even as the broader economic backdrop remains fundamentally strong. Corporate earnings visibility, infrastructure spending, policy continuity and steady consumption continue to support the long-term growth story. However, in the near term, markets are still digesting record-high levels, making price confirmation more important than sentiment. A supportive RBI stance on growth and liquidity could trigger short-covering, while any surprise hawkish tone is likely to see selling pressure.

    Stock market live updates today: Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities

    Nifty index encountered mild profit-taking, witnessing notable selling pressure at higher levels, while its underlying strength continued to remain subdued as the benchmark now trades at a critical make-or-break juncture. The index has been stuck within a narrow consolidation phase—a time-wise pause rather than a meaningful price correction—yet still firmly upholds its broader sequence of higher highs and higher lows, reaffirming the durability of the prevailing uptrend.

    Stock market live updates today: Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivative Research, Asit C. Mehta Investment Interrmediates Ltd

    “The Nifty index started the day on a gap-down note, witnessed continued selling pressure, and eventually settled on a negative note at 25,986. On the daily chart, Nifty has formed a small red candle with shadows on either side, indicating uncertainty. In the near term, major resistance for the index is placed at 26,325. Until the index sustains below this level, any bounce should be viewed as an opportunity for profit booking. On the downside, 25,840 will act as a crucial support level, where the short-term swing low is placed. Considering the overall setup, traders are advised to buy near support levels and sell near the resistance zone mentioned above.

    Stock market live updates today: Era of zonal architecture in advanced SDVs

    Given the rapid adoption of software defined vehicles (SDV) globally, an emerging trend in electrical/electronic (E/E) system is the adoption of zonal architecture over domain. Zonal architecture effectively reduces wiring harness content in a vehicle. Globally, while this architecture was adopted by Tesla and Chinese OEMs, currently several legacy OEM have adopted zonal architecture in their recently launched/upcoming platforms. We see more OEMs adopting it, both in EV and ICE vehicles (as stated by GM) for next-gen more advanced SDVs, which helps with efficient software updates and saves cost by reducing development time, fewer control units, and reducing wiring harness content. While we believe Indian OEMs are some years away from shifting to advanced zonal architecture, we believe it is imminent and structurally negative for wiring harness suppliers like Motherson Sumi Wiring India (MSWIL). We retain Sell.

    Cracking the SDV code – not a cakewalk; legacy OEMs are struggling: While there are many definitions of advanced SDV, we find Nio’s definition as the most simplistic. To quote, Benjamin Steinmertz, Production Experience Director, Nio Europe, “…SDV is a vehicle that can be shaped or changed via software than hardware. So, the characteristics of a vehicle can be changed via software. While the term SDV today is used for almost all vehicles, there are different levels, and as the SDV level moves higher, vehicle architecture becomes critical. For L3 and above, the adoption of zonal architecture becomes critical to its functionality and efficient “over the air” (OTA) updates. Tesla was the pioneer of SDV, but today Chinese OEMs are catching up fast, as per S&P Mobility. However, legacy OEMs continue to struggle, especially in the software piece (e.g., Volkswagen) albeit catching up at a slower pace. 

    Zonal vs domain architecture advantages: In domain architecture, electronic control units (ECU) are categorized into domains based on functions while zonal classifies ECU by their physical location inside the vehicle, leveraging a central gateway to manage communications; adds a vehicular compute module. This module is a computer with a large processing capacity to perform computations regardless of function. Some advantages of adopting zonal are: 1) reduction in wiring and hence cut in weight of vehicles, 2) scalability and modularity, 3) higher levels of SDV and OTA updates, and 4) improved reliability & maintenance. For e.g., Tesla’s Model 3 was able to reduce wiring content by 50% while BMW is talking about cutting ~600m wiring and ~30% of vehicle weight after adopting zonal architecture.

    Stock market live updates today: Ajay Garg, CEO & Director, SMC Global Securities, on expectations from RBI monetary policy later this week

    The RBI’s December meet scheduled this week is drawing strong market attention, with expectations tilting toward a continuation of the central bank’s gradual shift toward a softer stance. Easing inflation driven by GST rate cuts, sustained food-price deflation, and a steady decline in core inflation have strengthened hopes that the RBI may prepare the ground for a rate cut in early 2026, even if it chooses to hold rates this time at 5.5% for now. This is supported by a robust economic backdrop as India’s real GDP grew by 8.2% in Q2 FY26, the fastest pace in six quarters despite tariff-related headwinds. CPI inflation also dropped to a record low of 0.25% in October, comfortably below the RBI’s tolerance band.

    Stock market live updates today: Stock to buy today: Apollo Tyres (₹535) – BUY

    The stock is consolidating within its overall uptrend. The trend line support around ₹510 has been holding very well since the beginning of this week.

    The 2.9 per cent rise on Wednesday indicates that the upmove in the stock could be gaining momentum. That increases the chances of seeing a bullish breakout of the current consolidation above ₹540 in the coming days. Such a break can take Apollo Tyres share price higher towards ₹575 in the short term.

    Stock to buy today: Apollo Tyres (₹535) – BUY

    Recommended buy: Apollo Tyres at ₹535, targeting ₹575 with strategic stop-loss adjustments for traders.
