The Nifty 50 witnessed a highly volatile trading week ending 12 December 2025. The index opened at approximately 26,159 and initially declined by nearly 1.78%, driven by uncertainty surrounding the India–USA tariff policy and its potential implications for trade-sensitive sectors. Market sentiment, however, improved mid-week as clarity emerged on the bilateral tariff framework, signalling a more constructive stance from both countries.
A key catalyst for recovery came from the U.S. Federal Reserve’s dovish commentary and its decision to cut rates, which boosted global risk appetite and lifted investor confidence across emerging markets, including India. As a result, the Nifty 50 rebounded sharply from its lows and recovered around 1.8%, eventually closing near 26,175—almost unchanged for the week despite the initial slide.
Additionally, Mexico’s tariff imposition had minimal impact on domestic equities, indicating strong underlying market resilience and sectoral insulation. Overall, despite global trade-related jitters, the Nifty showcased stability, supported by improving macro sentiment, foreign inflows, and strength in large-cap counters.
