India Stock Market Week Ahead (Dec 15–19, 2025): Nifty Back Above 26,000, Rupee at Record Lows, WPI & Trade Data, IPO Listings in Focus
The Nifty 50 closed Friday at 26,046.95 and the Sensex at 85,267.66, rebounding after the Fed’s rate move but still down about 0.5% for the week. The rupee hit a record low near 90.55 per dollar amid foreign outflows and trade uncertainty. November CPI inflation stood at 0.71%, well below the RBI’s target range. Investors are watching if lower inflation leads to RBI easing as currency pressure persists.
