Stock Market Live Updates 30 Dec 2025: Sensex, Nifty may open lower amid weak global cues, F&O expiry

Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices LIVE: Indian equity markets are expected to open on a weak note on Tuesday, tracking negative global cues and sustained selling by foreign portfolio investors. Gift Nifty at 25,930 points to a gap-down opening of nearly 100 points for the Nifty, while thin year-end liquidity and the settlement of monthly F&O contracts are likely to fuel sharp intraday swings. Market experts say sentiment remains cautious amid profit booking and rollover activity, with volatility expected to intensify in the latter half of the session.

Overnight weakness in US markets has spilled over into Asia-Pacific stocks, adding to the pressure on domestic equities. Analysts believe markets may largely ignore strong macro data, including November’s Index of Industrial Production, which rose 6.7%—the highest in 25 months—led by manufacturing and mining. From a derivatives perspective, heavy call writing near the 26,000 strike has created a key resistance zone, while put additions around 25,900 offer near-term support, indicating consolidation with a mildly bearish bias.
