Sensex, Nifty remain in positive mood
Dec-05-2025

Indian equity benchmarks sustained their positive mood in late afternoon session, with both Sensex and Nifty holding notable gains, aided by RBI’s repo rate cut by 25 bps to 5.25% along with buying in Banking and TECK stocks. Sentiments remained optimistic as the Reserve Bank of India’s rate-setting Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) revised India’s GDP forecast for FY2025-26 upwards to 7.3%, compared with the earlier estimate of 6.8%. Meanwhile, the 14th round of India-Oman Strategic Consultative Group (IOSCG) meeting was held in Muscat, Oman. The meeting reviewed the multifaceted strategic partnership between India and Oman in areas including political, defence, security, trade, investment, energy, agriculture, education, culture and people-to-people ties. The two sides also discussed regional and global issues of mutual interest.

The Destatis said that factory orders logged a monthly growth of 1.5 percent. Although the pace of growth softened from the revised 2.0 percent rise posted in September, it was much faster than forecast of 0.3 percent. However, Asian markets were trading mixed.

Meanwhile, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said that India has emphasised on the need to reduce trade barriers, and boost exports to Russia with an aim to bridge the widening trade deficit between the two countries. Goyal said there are huge opportunities to expand bilateral trade and there is a need to make it more balanced.

He said sectors that hold potential to boost exports from India to Russia include consumer goods, food products, automobiles, tractors, heavy commercial vehicles, electronics like smartphones, industrial components, and textiles. He stated ‘The bilateral trade has crossed $70 billion but we cannot rest, we need to grow, we need to balance that. He said the trade gap is very skewed.

He said ‘We need to bring more diversity in our trade basket. We need to make it more balanced. We need more variety and there is so much to offer between the two countries. He added there is untapped potential which needs to be explored. Moreover, he said ‘We can take so much from Russia and we have so much to offer to Russia. Sky is the limit...and that will address the trade imbalance in the near future...we will work together to eliminate or reduce or dilute the trade barriers, if any.’
