Summary

On December 4, 2025, India's key equity benchmarks, the S&P BSE Sensex and the Nifty 50, traded with modest gains in the early afternoon session. The Sensex rose 118.53 points to reach 85,225.34, while the Nifty climbed 38.35 points, trading above the significant 26,000 level at 26,024.20. This uptick occurred despite a generally mixed trading environment.
However, the broader market indices, including the S&P BSE Mid-Cap and Small-Cap, did not mirror the gains of the frontline indices, indicating a selective market performance. The market breadth was negative, with more shares declining than advancing on the BSE. Notably, media shares experienced a downturn, shedding 1.25% in the Nifty Media index, contrasting with their performance in the prior trading session.
In other market indicators, the India VIX, a measure of expected volatility, decreased by 1.51% to 11.04. Stocks like Petronet LNG saw significant climbs due to new agreements, while Josts Engineering announced a new order win. The trading activity reflected varied investor sentiment across different sectors and market capitalizations.
