Sensex and Nifty Rally on Strong Global Cues
On December 18, 2025, Indian equity markets kicked off the trading session on a positive note, reflecting strong global cues. The benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, opened higher, with the Sensex gaining 274.98 points to reach 84,756.79 and Nifty rising by 95.95 points to settle at 25,911.50. This upward movement was largely driven by an encouraging report on US inflation, which boosted investor sentiment globally.
In the previous trading session, the Sensex closed at 84,481.81, while the Nifty 50 ended at 25,815.55. Today's opening showed a robust market environment as broader indices also experienced gains. The BSE Midcap index rose by 101.62 points or 0.22%, while the BSE Smallcap index increased by 100.55 points or 0.20%, trading at 50,272.65.
Among the prominent stocks in the Sensex pack, TMPV, BEL, Reliance, Bajaj Finserv, and Infosys were among the primary gainers. Notably, TMPV emerged as the leader, gaining around 1.88% in early trade. This surge reflects a positive investor outlook, suggesting confidence in the market's potential growth.
In the early trading session, market breadth was in favor of the bulls, with 1,827 stocks in the Nifty pack trading in the green, while 654 were in the red. There were also 85 stocks that remained unchanged, indicating stable performance among several companies.
Market analysts like Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research at Kotak Securities, have pointed out crucial levels to watch. For bullish traders, the immediate resistance zone is marked at 25,950/84,900. If the market can sustain above this level, there is potential for movement toward 26,000-26,050/85,000-85,300. Conversely, key support levels are 25,750/84,300 and 25,700/84,100. A decline below 25,690/84,100 could increase selling pressure, raising the possibility of a drop toward 25,575-25,550/83,800-83,700.
