Indian Stock Market LIVE Today: Sensex, Nifty end 2025 on a strong note; Sensex jumps 545 points, Nifty settles above 26,100

Thank you for tracking the markets with us through 2025. We’ll be back with the same energy, sharper insights, and market-moving updates as trading resumes on January 1.

See you in the markets—and here’s to a year of clarity, confidence, and better profits.

Indian equity markets signed off 2025 on a positive note on Wednesday, supported by broad-based buying and strong gains in metal stocks. The Sensex surged 545.52 points, or 0.64%, to close at 85,220.60, while the Nifty50 climbed 190.75 points, or 0.74%, to settle at 26,129.60.

Markets rebounded in the final session of the year, led by metal counters after the government imposed import tariffs on select steel products. The rally was broad-based, helping benchmarks recover despite mixed global cues.

From a technical perspective, the Nifty continues to trade within a narrow consolidation range, indicating a lack of clear directional conviction. Heavy call writing at the 26,000 strike remains a key overhead resistance, capping further upside. On the downside, strong put open interest around the 25,900 level is providing immediate support, making it a crucial near-term pivot.

In the currency market, the rupee weakened 0.1% against the US dollar to close at 89.87, marking its second consecutive monthly decline in December. During the month, the rupee briefly slipped past the 91-per-dollar mark for the first time before RBI intervention aided a recovery, helping the currency stabilise toward the year-end.

With this, Indian markets wrapped up 2025 on a firm footing, as investors look ahead to fresh triggers in the new year.
