The Indian stock market concluded Tuesday, December 9, 2025, on a lower note, as both the Sensex and Nifty 50 extended their previous session's losses. The Nifty 50 slipped 120.9 points (0.47%) to settle at 25,839.65, while the Sensex fell 436.41 points (0.51%) to 84,666.28.

Analysis: Reasons Behind the Moves
The broader market decline on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, was influenced by several factors. A general sentiment of weakness stemmed from cautious global cues and persistent selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), who offloaded equities worth ₹655.59 crore on the preceding Monday. Investors also remained wary ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve's upcoming policy meeting, which is expected to provide direction on interest rates. Adding to the domestic concerns were reports indicating that US President Donald Trump might impose new tariffs on Indian rice, raising anxieties about ongoing trade negotiations. The depreciation of the Indian rupee, approaching ₹90 against the US dollar, further contributed to the negative market sentiment.
For the Losers: * Asian Paints witnessed the most significant fall, though specific company-related news for its sharp decline was not immediately available, it was part of the broad-based selling pressure. * Tech Mahindra and HCL Technologies were particularly affected by selling in the IT sector, which saw an overall decline of 1.2% as their earnings are closely tied to the U.S. market. * Tata Steel faced pressure as metal stocks experienced a downturn during the trading session.
For the Gainers: * While specific triggers for each top gainer were not extensively detailed, Titan Company's rise aligns with a general rally observed in consumer durable stocks. * Shriram Finance may have benefited from a broader trend where Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) are reportedly regaining growth momentum after a period of losing market share to banks. * For Eternal and Adani Enterprises, the gains occurred amidst an otherwise weak market, suggesting either company-specific positive news not immediately highlighted or resilience in certain pockets of the market. Adani Enterprises had its Rs 25,000 crore rights issue subscribed 82% a day ahead of its closure, which could have contributed to positive sentiment.
