SGX Nifty December 2025 futures declined by 9.50 points (or 0.04%) in early trade, indicating a potential negative opening for the Nifty 50 today.
Institutional Flows:
On 03 December 2025, provisional data indicated that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) divested shares amounting to Rs 3,206.92 crore, whereas domestic institutional investors (DIIs) recorded net purchases totaling Rs 4,730.41 crore in the Indian equity market.
Foreign Institutional Investors have divested shares totaling Rs 8,020.53 crore to date in December. Their cash sales amounted to Rs 17,500.31 crore in November and Rs 2,346.89 crore in October.
Global Markets:
On Thursday, the Asian market exhibited a mixed performance, following Wall Street’s gains driven by the latest jobs data, which has fueled optimism regarding a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve next week. According to payroll processor ADP, private companies reduced their workforce by 32,000 in November, a significant decrease from the 47,000 additions recorded in October, and notably lower than the widely anticipated increase of 40,000.
Current market expectations indicate an 89% probability of a rate cut during the Federal Reserve’s meeting on December 9-10, a notable increase compared to the rate-cut predictions from a few weeks prior. The Dow Jones Industrial Average experienced an increase of 408.44 points, representing a rise of 0.86%, concluding the session at 47,882.90. The S&P 500 increased by 0.30%, closing at 6,849.72, whereas the Nasdaq Composite rose by 0.17%, finishing at 23,454.09.
Stocks linked to the artificial intelligence sector significantly impacted U.S. key benchmarks on Wednesday, following a media report indicating that Microsoft was reducing software sales quotas associated with artificial intelligence. Microsoft has reportedly countered the assertions made in the report, resulting in a modest recovery of the stock during after-hours trading.
Domestic Market:
Key equity indices declined for the fourth consecutive session as investors realized gains in anticipation of the RBI’s policy decision later this week. The depreciation of the rupee, coupled with consistent foreign institutional investor outflows, contributed to a prevailing sense of caution.
Global cues provided minimal guidance, resulting in mixed market performance as investors assessed forthcoming policy decisions from the Fed and the ECB in the context of increased currency volatility. Throughout the day, IPO activity continued to capture attention.
The Nifty concluded the trading session beneath the 26,000 threshold, primarily influenced by significant declines in PSU banks following the government’s announcement to Parliament regarding the absence of plans to increase the FDI limit in state-owned financial institutions. Stocks in the Consumer Durables and Auto sectors experienced a decline. IT shares, in contrast, demonstrated resilience, advancing due to the weaker rupee.
The S&P BSE Sensex experienced a decrease of 31.46 points, reflecting a decline of 0.04%, closing at 85,106.81. The Nifty 50 index decreased by 46.20 points, representing a decline of 0.18%, closing at 25,986. Over the course of three trading sessions, the Sensex experienced a decline of 0.72%, whereas the Nifty recorded a decrease of 0.88%.
