Markets continue to trade above neutral lines in afternoon session
Dec-11-2025

Key indices continued to trade well above their neutral lines in afternoon session as investors remained optimistic about bilateral trade deal between in India and US after India’s Chief Economic Adviser (CEA) V. Anantha Nageswaran reportedly indicated that the country and US have largely resolved trade issues and showed optimism about concluding the deal by March next year. However, gains remained capped as weak Rupee has made market participants nervous. The Indian rupee fell below its all-time low of Rs 90.4 against US dollar. Meanwhile, some sectors like IT and Metal have benefited from weak rupee, as it will enhance export realisations and prevent cheaper exports. 

On the global front, Asian equity markets were trading mostly in red as cloud computing giant Oracle’s revenues fell short of street estimates. European equity markets were trading mostly in green after US Federal Reserve delivered 25 basis point rate cut.
