15 Dec 2025 Evaluate

Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended flat with a negative bias on Monday. Index made a negative start and remained in red amid continued foreign investor selling. Foreign portfolio investors remained net sellers, pulling out Rs 12,941 crore in the week ended December 12. Besides, the government data showed that retail inflation inched up to 0.71 per cent in November, from a record low of 0.25 per cent in the previous month, led by rising prices of food items. However, in afternoon session, market trimmed most of its losses but continued to trade in red. Traders got some support as annual rate of inflation based on All India Wholesale Price Index (WPI) number is (-) 0.32% (provisional) for the month of November, 2025 (over November, 2024). Negative rate of inflation in November, 2025 is primarily due to decrease in prices of food articles, mineral oils, crude petroleum & natural gas, manufacture of basic metals and electricity etc. Index finally ended with minor losses. 

Traders were seen piling up positions in Media, FMCG and Consumer Durables stocks, while selling was witnessed in Auto, Pharma, and financial services.
