Intraday Trade, December 9, 2025
Indian equities extended yesterday’s weakness on Tuesday, with benchmark indices trading firmly in the red through the afternoon session. Around 3 pm, the Sensex was lower by about 390–400 points near the 84,700 mark, while the Nifty 50 slipped to roughly 25,850, tracking cautious global cues and persistent profit‑booking in heavyweight counters.
• Sensex: down ~338–400 pts, around 84,700–84,800 levels
• Nifty 50: down ~110–150 pts, around 25,840–25,850 zone
• Market breadth mixed: midcap and smallcap indices up about 0.5%, showing selective buying.
Sectors: Realty Outperforms, Autos Drag
Sectorally, realty, capital goods, power and select PSU names attracted fresh buying interest, helping the Nifty Realty index outperform the broader market despite the overall negative mood. In contrast, autos, IT and pharma stocks remained under pressure, with frontline auto names extending their recent two‑session slide amid valuation concerns and profit‑taking after a strong festival run.
- Auto index down around 0.5–0.7%, with selling visible in marquee names like Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki and Bajaj Auto.
- Realty and select power stocks gained on expectations of continued housing demand and infrastructure push.
Key Movers & Overall Sentiment
Among individual stocks, traders reported active volumes in counters such as Kaynes Technologies, InterGlobe Aviation, JSW Energy and Anand Rathi Wealth, even as many small- and mid‑caps saw up to double‑digit intraday swings. Market commentators describe the current phase as consolidation after a sharp rally, with Nifty support zones pegged near 25,700–25,900 and global rate‑cut expectations likely to dictate near‑term direction.
