Stock Market LIVE, December 4, 2025

Stock Market close highlights, Thursday, December 4, 2025: Snapping a four-day losing streak, benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, settled in green on Thursday aided by buying in IT stocks as the Indian Rupee hit a record low of 90.56 against the US dollar. However, the gains were limited as investors remained cautious ahead of RBI MPC decision on Friday. 
 
The BSE Sensex closed at 85,265.32, up 158.5 points or 0.19 per cent and NSE Nifty50 quoted 26,033, up 47.75 points or 0.18 per cent.   In the broader markets, the NSE Nifty MidCap 100 index settled flat with a negative bias, and the Nifty SmallCap 100 fell 0.24 per cent.  Among the sectoral indices, Nifty IT was the top gainer, up 1.4 per cent, followed by Realty, FMCG, Auto, Pharma, Metal, and Chemical. On the contrary, Nifty Media fell 1.45 per cent, followed by Nifty Bank, Financial Services, Consumer Durables, and Oil & Gas.  TCS, Bharat Electronics, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, and HCL Tech were the top gainers on Sensex. Reliance Industries, Maruti Suzuki, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Titan, and Eternal were the top laggards.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The index mostly remained below the 21 EMA on the hourly chart, reflecting sustained selling pressure during the session. On Friday, the market may remain choppy within a narrow range until the lending rate announcement and could turn volatile once it is released. Technically, the 26,100–26,150 zone is expected to act as crucial resistance, while support is placed at 25,900–25,950. A fall below 26,000 may trigger a quick correction towards 25,950–25,900, as the chart setup appears weak on the hourly timeframe.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Domestic markets closed flat amid mixed global cues and caution ahead of the RBI policy. Early value-driven gains were restrained by a record-low rupee and persistent FII outflows. However, lowered expectations of an RBI rate cut supported a mild currency rebound, helping indices stabilise towards the close. IT stocks outperformed, buoyed by renewed optimism around potential Fed rate cuts and favourable currency tailwinds, which strengthened investor appetite for the sector.
