Indian stock market weekly wrap-up for 8–12 Dec 2025: Nifty and Sensex edged lower, Bank Nifty cooled, INR stable, commodities mixed, with breakout stocks Vedanta and Motherson Sumi in focus.
Introduction: A Week of Consolidation After November’s Rally
The second week of December 2025 marked a cooling phase for Indian equities after the strong momentum seen through November. Markets entered a consolidation mode as participants chose caution ahead of major global central bank decisions, year-end positioning, and profit-booking at elevated levels.
While headline indices ended marginally lower, the broader tone of the market remained healthy and selective, with stock-specific action dominating. Banking stocks witnessed mild pressure, IT stayed range-bound, and metals showed early signs of renewed interest. Interestingly, despite the index-level consolidation, select stocks delivered historical breakouts, notably Vedanta (VEDL) and Motherson Sumi, drawing strong attention from positional and swing traders.
Let’s break down how the week unfolded across equities, INR, commodities, and what to expect in the coming week.

Weekly Performance Table

Nifty 50: Range-Bound with a Defensive Bias
The Nifty spent the entire week oscillating within a tight 300-point band, reflecting indecision at higher levels. Early-week selling pressure was met with buying interest near support zones, indicating that institutional money is not exiting, but rather rotating.
Key observations:
- FMCG and select pharma stocks provided downside support.
- IT stocks remained muted due to cautious global tech sentiment.
- Auto stocks saw mixed action, with EV-related names attracting selective interest.
Technically, Nifty continues to respect the 26,000 zone, which now acts as a critical psychological support. As long as this level holds, the broader uptrend remains intact despite short-term weakness.
Bank Nifty: Cooling Off After Strong Rally
Bank Nifty underperformed slightly compared to the broader market, primarily due to:
- Profit booking in private sector banks
- Marginal uptick in bond yields
- Traders reducing leverage ahead of key global macro events
Despite the weekly decline, the structure remains bullish on higher timeframes. PSU banks held firm, while NBFCs showed resilience due to stable credit demand expectations.
Support around 59,000 remains crucial. Any sustained break below this could invite deeper consolidation, while holding above it keeps the bullish structure alive.
Sensex: Heavyweights Pause, Structure Intact
The Sensex reflected the cautious tone of the week, closing lower by over 350 points. Selling pressure was seen in select heavyweight stocks, though it lacked aggressive momentum.
Large-cap financials and energy stocks remained stable, preventing sharper downside. The index continues to trade comfortably above its medium-term moving averages, reinforcing the view that the broader trend remains constructive.
Fin Nifty: Mild Correction, No Structural Damage
Fin Nifty mirrored Bank Nifty’s movement, ending the week marginally lower. Insurance and housing finance stocks traded mixed, while fintech-linked names attracted mild buying interest.
The index’s ability to stay above 27,600 suggests that deeper correction risks remain limited unless macro conditions deteriorate.
INR Weekly Movement: Stability Amid Global Uncertainty
The Indian Rupee remained largely stable throughout the week, supported by:
- Controlled crude oil prices
- RBI’s active liquidity management
- Steady foreign inflows into debt markets
Despite global dollar fluctuations, INR traded within a narrow band, reflecting confidence in India’s macro stability as the year heads toward closure.
Commodity Market Wrap
Gold
Gold prices remained firm as global investors continued to hedge against geopolitical risks and upcoming central bank decisions. Domestic demand also supported prices due to ongoing wedding season buying.
Silver
Silver traded with higher volatility, reflecting mixed cues from industrial demand and global growth expectations.
Crude Oil
Crude oil prices remained range-bound, with OPEC+ commentary balancing demand concerns. India benefitted from stable import costs, easing pressure on inflation metrics.
Stock-Specific Focus: Historical Breakouts
Vedanta (VEDL) – CMP ₹543
Vedanta delivered a long-term breakout from a multi-year consolidation zone, backed by:
- Strong volume expansion
- Renewed interest in metal stocks
- Improving commodity cycle expectations
The breakout indicates renewed institutional accumulation, making it a stock to watch for medium-term investors.
Motherson Sumi – CMP ₹121.50
Motherson Sumi witnessed a clean structural breakout, supported by:
- Strong order book visibility
- Global auto recovery optimism
- Technically strong base formation over multiple quarters
This breakout reflects confidence in India’s auto component export story and positions the stock well for positional traders.
Broader Market Sentiment
- Midcaps showed selective profit booking
- Defence, railway, and manufacturing themes remained resilient
- Traders shifted focus toward breakout candidates rather than index momentum
- Volatility stayed controlled, indicating healthy consolidation
