Sensex Jumps 427 Pts, Nifty Ends Near 25,900 After US Fed Rate Cut on December 11, 2025: Key Market Takeaways

The Indian stock market moved higher mainly because the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points and signalled 1 more cut next year. This pushed the US dollar and bond yields lower, improving global sentiment and attracting buying in heavyweight stocks such as HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Reliance Industries.
