🇮🇳 India Daybook: Tata Steel's Strategic Moves, Adani Enterprises' Oversubscribed Rights Issue Drive Market Buzz

The Indian stock market is expected to open on a strong note today, Thursday, December 11, 2025, tracking positive global cues following the US Federal Reserve's third consecutive interest rate reduction of 0.25 basis points. This move lowered the key rate to approximately 3.6%, its lowest in nearly three years. The Gift Nifty indicates a robust start for the Indian benchmark index. This comes after the Indian market experienced a losing streak for three consecutive sessions, weighed down by mixed global cues and anticipation of the Fed's policy decision. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net sellers on December 9 and 10, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) bought equities.
