CapitalKeeper Sunday Digest
Indian Stock Market, INR & Commodity Weekly Wrap
Week: 08 December 2025 – 12 December 2025
The second full trading week of December 2025 turned into a phase of controlled consolidation for Indian equities. After the sharp rebound seen in late November and early December, markets entered a digestion mode — absorbing gains, reacting to global cues, and reassessing valuation comfort amid mixed macro signals.
While headline indices managed to stay resilient near record zones, sector rotation, selective profit-booking, INR volatility, and commodity price swings defined the underlying tone. Importantly, the broader market showed signs of maturity rather than panic, setting up a technically healthy base for the next directional move.
This edition of the CapitalKeeper Sunday Digest breaks down what really happened, why it matters, and how the coming week may unfold — supported by RSI, MACD, and volume-based analysis.
Weekly Market Snapshot (08–12 December 2025)
| Segment | Weekly Behaviour | Key Observation |
|---|---|---|
| Nifty 50 | Sideways to mildly positive | Holding above key support zone |
| Bank Nifty | Range-bound | PSU banks stronger than private peers |
| Mid-Cap Index | Volatile with stock-specific action | Selective accumulation visible |
| Small-Cap Index | Mild corrective bias | Healthy after extended rally |
| INR vs USD | Volatile, weak bias | Import cost pressure remains |
| Commodities | Mixed | Crude volatile, gold stable |
Market Behaviour: What Defined the Week?
1️⃣ Index Performance: Strength Without Aggression
The Nifty 50 spent most of the week consolidating near its recent highs, indicating that bulls are not in a hurry to exit, while bears lack conviction to push prices lower. This kind of price action typically reflects institutional accumulation beneath the surface, even when index movement looks muted.
Bank Nifty remained range-bound, with PSU banks outperforming private lenders, supported by policy expectations and improving asset quality narratives.
2️⃣ Mid-Cap & Small-Cap Action: Rotation, Not Breakdown
Contrary to panic narratives often seen during consolidation phases, the broader market showed rotational strength. Capital moved out of overheated names into fundamentally stable, technically sound mid-cap stocks.
Small-caps witnessed mild profit-booking, which is structurally healthy after a prolonged up-move. Importantly, selling pressure lacked volume expansion a sign that this is cooling, not distribution.
Global Cues That Influenced Indian Markets
🌍 US & Global Markets
- Global equities displayed mixed behaviour amid expectations of policy stability from major central banks.
- US bond yields remained volatile, directly impacting global risk sentiment.
- Asian markets tracked global peers cautiously, influencing Indian opening trends on multiple sessions.
🌍 Geopolitical & Macro Signals
- Ongoing geopolitical uncertainty kept crude oil prices unstable.
- Dollar index strength intermittently pressured emerging market currencies, including the INR.
INR Movement: Why Currency Matters This Week
The Indian Rupee experienced heightened volatility during the week, reacting to:
- Dollar index movement
- Crude oil price fluctuations
- Foreign fund flow behaviour
A weak INR supported export-oriented sectors such as IT and select manufacturing exporters, while import-heavy sectors faced margin pressure. Currency movement will remain a key variable going into the next week.
Commodity Market Overview
🛢 Crude Oil
Crude prices remained volatile, swinging on global demand forecasts and geopolitical developments. Elevated crude levels pose a double-edged risk for India — inflation pressure and fiscal stress.
🥇 Gold
Gold traded with a stable bias, reflecting cautious global sentiment. It continued to act as a hedge rather than a momentum asset.
🧱 Industrial Metals
Base metals displayed mixed trends, mirroring uncertainty around global growth and Chinese demand recovery.
