The Nifty 50 delivered a strong and confident close today, settling above the key 26,200 level for the first time. The index formed a full bullish Marubozu candle, showing strength from the opening bell to the closing tick without any major selling pressure. This clearly confirms the continuation of the uptrend with a higher-high structure throughout the session. With Nifty now comfortably trading above all major moving averages and RSI staying in a healthy neutral zone, the overall structure remains clearly bullish. If the index sustains above 26,000 as a strong support, it is well-positioned to challenge its all-time highs in the 26,277–26,350 zone in the coming sessions.

Domestic equities experienced significant gains, driven by the festive "Santa Claus rally" in global markets. This uptrend was fuelled by robust retail and domestic institutional investor (DII) inflows, while foreign institutional investor (FII) flows remained modest. On a global scale, market sentiment improved with rising expectations of a US Federal Reserve rate cut in December, alongside softer US yields and a weaker dollar. Additionally, a 1 per cent decline in crude oil prices helped to ease inflationary concerns. On the domestic policy front, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is widely anticipated to implement a 25-basis point rate cut in December, supported by moderating inflation and a dovish stance. Furthermore, increasing optimism surrounding a potential truce between Russia and Ukraine is enhancing risk appetite, fostering a positive outlook for the upcoming year.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Cryptocurrency market shows cautious rebound amid rate-cut speculation

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The cryptocurrency market showed early signs of stabilisation after last week’s sharp sell-off, with Bitcoin trading in a narrow band of $85,000–$89,000 throughout the week. Large-cap tokens have led the modest recovery, even as mid-cap and smaller altcoins continue to lag following a phase of heavy deleveraging. The total market capitalisation has recovered to around $3.07 trillion, underscoring a cautious improvement in risk sentiment.

 

 

The broader environment, Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex, said, remains heavily influenced by macroeconomic cues. “While declining consumer confidence in the US and weakness in the private-sector labour market have created a risk-off sentiment, they also raise the likelihood of the Fed adopting a less restrictive monetary stance. For now, the focus remains on indicators such as US jobless claims, PCE, and GDP figures,” he noted. READ MORE

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Crude oil slips as Russia-Ukraine peace talks advance; WTI seen below $52

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Global crude oil prices extended losses amid advancing US-brokered peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, raising fears of a deeper supply glut as Western sanctions on Moscow's energy sector could unwind, flooding markets with previously sidelined Russian barrels. WTI plunged 2.5 per cent over the past five trading sessions to $58.05/bbl, shedding 5.5 per cent in the last month and more than 20 per cent since mid-June highs near $73/bbl. The downturn reflects OPEC+ restoring output while non-OPEC producers like the US (now ~13.8 mb/d) ramp up amid muted global consumption growth of just ~0.7 mb/d. IEA forecasts a record 4 mb/d surplus in 2026, pressuring prices further. READ MORE
