UK Stock Market Today: FTSE 100 Jumps as UK Inflation Cools and Bank of England Rate-Cut Bets Surge (17 December 2025)

Mumbai | December 14, 2025 — After a choppy week in which profit-booking near record highs met a late bounce triggered by the U.S. Federal Reserve’s rate cut, Indian equities head into the December 15–19 trading week with one question dominating the tape: can the Nifty hold above its key support band while the rupee struggles at fresh record lows and India–U.S. trade headlines stay noisy?

India’s economic story as of Tuesday, 9 December 2025, is being written on three fronts at once: break‑neck growth, record‑low inflation, and a central bank that has just cut rates while warning about global risks. All of this is playing out against choppy equity markets, simmering trade tensions with the United States, and fresh signals from housing, defence and energy sectors.

The eurozone enters Tuesday’s session with a relatively light data calendar, but a handful of national releases and central‑bank signals are still shaping the market mood ahead of this week’s crucial Federal Reserve decision.

Asia’s economic calendar on Thursday, 4 December 2025, is relatively light on headline releases but heavy on implications. Fresh trade and spending numbers out of Australia and ongoing deflation pressures in Thailand – now paired with a jump in consumer confidence – are giving investors new clues about the region’s growth and policy outlook. At the same time, markets are positioning for possible rate moves from both the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Bank of Thailand, while watching the Bank of Japan and the U.S. Federal Reserve in the background.S&P Global+1
