Key gauges continue to trade in green in morning deals
Dec-12-2025

Indian equity benchmarks trimmed some gains but continued to trade in green in morning deals, supported by firm global cues and improved risk sentiment after the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates. Traders took support with NABARD survey showing that in a clear sign of rural economic momentum, 80 per cent of rural households have consistently reported higher consumption over the last year - a hallmark of rising prosperity. It said the past year has seen a clear strengthening of rural economic fundamentals. With robust consumption, rising incomes, moderating inflation and healthier financial behaviour, rural India is on a positive trajectory. However, gains remain capped as some concern came with exchange data showing that Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 2,020.94 crore on Thursday. On the global front, Asian markets are trading higher as investors tracked a record day on Wall Street in the wake of the Federal Reserve's latest interest rate cut.

Citing his discussions with the EU earlier this week, he said ‘We are confident… there are a few issues which we still get over the line. I do believe we should be able to get this over the finishing line. He stated that teams are putting in their best efforts to deliver a good agreement, leaving no stone unturned.
