Market Outlook: December 22
The session continued to reflect a two-speed market—benchmark indices holding firm on the back of large-cap strength, while broader markets remained volatile. Investors appeared focused on short-term opportunities, selectively rotating capital based on momentum, liquidity, and near-term visibility.
Conclusion
By early afternoon, Indian equity markets maintained a positive undertone, with the NIFTY 50 hovering near its intraday highs and comfortably above key psychological levels. However, sharp divergences in individual stocks underscored the importance of stock selection and disciplined risk management. As the year-end approaches, markets are expected to remain volatile, with attention firmly on earnings outlook, liquidity conditions, and global cues.
