Indian Stocks Plunge Amid Global Uncertainty, Fed Watch
Mumbai, December 8, 2025 – Indian equity markets took a tumble today, reversing two days of gains as investors grew wary of global financial conditions and the impending U.S. Federal Reserve policy announcement. The Sensex closed down 609.68 points (0.71%) at 85,102.69, while the Nifty fell 225.90 points (0.86%) to 25,960.55.
Analysts cited profit-taking and continued selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) as primary drivers of the decline. Uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve’s upcoming decision, coupled with a surge in Japanese bond yields, further fueled market anxiety. The market dipped below the 26,000 mark, reflecting investor caution.
Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments Ltd, noted that “the market experienced a broad-based decline… despite robust domestic growth figures and the RBI’s recent rate cut, short-term sentiment remains overshadowed by global monetary policy concerns, persistent FII outflows, and currency depreciation.”
Among the biggest losers on the Sensex were Bharat Electronics Ltd, Eternal and Trent. Tech Mahindra, HCL Technologies, Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank were among the few stocks to show gains.
Other Asian markets presented a mixed picture, with South Korea’s KOSPI and Shanghai’s SSE Composite index rising, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index fell. European markets were also trading with varied results.
Data indicated that FIIs offloaded equities worth ₹438.90 crore, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) bought stocks worth ₹4,189.17 crore. Brent crude oil prices also saw a slight dip, falling to $63.37 per barrel.
The market will likely remain sensitive to global cues and the Federal Reserve’s decision in the coming days.
