Stock Market Today (3:30 PM) — Monday, December 8th 2025

Dalal Street tried to climb the wall — post RBI rate cut, but like Humpty Dumpty, Nifty had a great fall — and all the strong bulls’ efforts couldn’t keep Nifty from slipping sharply through-out the session.

Nifty began the day cautious footing — and then all optimism and bullishness tumbled like nine pins.

Here are the 3-negative catalysts for today’s selling:

1) FII Selling. Foreign Institutional Investors have remained net sellers, offloading nearly ₹10,400 crores in the week gone by. Persistent outflows are pressuring frontline stocks, especially financials and heavyweights.

2) Rupee continues to be the front pages as it weakens near 90/USD. The Indian rupee trading near record lows is sparking worry over imported inflation and corporate margins for companies with foreign currency exposure.

3) Profit Booking after RBI Rally. Markets rallied on the back of the RBI’s 25 bps rate cut, and traders are now unwinding long positions — a natural “cool-off” after a strong move.

BOTTOM-LINE: Nifty’s next leg higher hinges on one catalyst — rate cuts from the Fed. That could be the spark bulls need to reignite strong upside momentum.

Long Story short: Today’s fall at Dalal Street felt brutal — there was nowhere to hide and appeared as it seemed like the sky was falling.
