The Indian stock market extended its losing streak for the third straight session on Wednesday, closing at nearly a one-month low as investors remained cautious ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s policy outcome. A late selloff in consumer durables, private banks, and IT stocks dragged indices lower, reflecting heightened volatility across global markets.

Market Performance: Nifty & Sensex at One-Month Low
In a choppy session, the BSE Sensex slipped 275 points, or 0.32%, to close at 84,391   its lowest level since November 11, according to PTI. Similarly, the NSE Nifty50 fell 82 points, or 0.32%, to settle at a month’s low of 25,758. Investors adopted a wait-and-watch approach as global cues remained uncertain.

US Fed Outcome: Another Rate Cut

The United States Federal Reserve announced a 0.25% cut in its benchmark interest rate, bringing the federal funds rate to a three-year low. The new target range now stands at 3.5%–3.75%, down from 3.75%–4%.
This is the Fed’s third consecutive rate cut since September, totalling a 0.75% reduction for the year.

Ahead of the announcement, the CME FedWatch Tool had assigned an 87.4% probability to a 25 bps cut. The two-day meeting was held between December 9 and 10, and the decision is expected to influence global liquidity, emerging market flows, and currency trends.

IPO Market Buzz: High Action Today

Primary market activity remains robust.

• Nephrocare Health Services and Park Medi World enter their second day of subscription.
  
  

• Wakefit Innovations and Corona Remedies will finalise their allotments today.
  
  

With multiple listings and fresh issues lined up, IPO sentiment continues to draw retail and institutional interest.

Market Outlook: Global Cues & FII Pressure

Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, noted that global markets remain sensitive due to rising Japanese bond yields and expectations of BOJ policy tightening. This is creating risk-off sentiment across emerging markets.

Indian markets, he added, are mirroring global caution, further impacted by:

• Persistent FII outflows
  
  

• Weakened INR
  
  

• Uncertainty in U.S.–India trade negotiations
  
  

In the near term, market direction is likely to be governed by central bank guidance and clarity on trade discussions.

Key levels to watch:

• Support zone if breakdown occurs: 25,610 → 25,530
