Analysis: Reasons Behind the Moves

The broader market sentiment on December 10, 2025, was largely shaped by a confluence of global and domestic factors.

• US Federal Reserve's Policy Decision: Investors remained cautious and booked profits ahead of the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision, which was scheduled for later in the day. There was anticipation of a third rate cut, but uncertainty regarding the Fed's guidance for 2026 and the succession of Chair Jerome Powell added to the apprehension.
• Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) Outflows: Persistent selling by FIIs continued to weigh on the market. FIIs were net sellers of equities worth ₹3,760.08 crore on Tuesday, marking the ninth consecutive session of net selling, which reduced liquidity and reflected risk aversion towards emerging markets.
• Weak Global Cues: Overnight, Wall Street ended broadly lower, and most Asian markets were trading in negative territory, contributing to the cautious mood in India.
• Potential US Tariffs: Reports suggesting potential new US tariffs on Indian rice also added to the market's uncertainty.
• Commodity Prices: Firm crude oil prices, with Brent crude rising 0.15% to $62.03 per barrel, also contributed to inflationary concerns in India, given its reliance on oil imports.

Sector-Specific Movements: Metal stocks, including Hindalco Industries and Tata Steel, showed resilience and were among the top sectoral gainers, likely supported by global commodity trends, including silver hitting record highs. In contrast, sectors like consumer durables, IT, and financials faced selling pressure.

Company-Specific Reasons: InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo) experienced a significant decline after the government directed the airline to reduce 10% of its scheduled flights following over 2,000 cancellations in the previous week.
