📉 Indian Markets: Weak Session
On 10 December 2025, both benchmark indices on Dalal Street ended in the red: BSE Sensex dropped ~0.32% and Nifty 50 sank ~0.32% as well.
The slump was broad-based, with weakness seen in banking and IT sectors in particular.
Markets had opened with some optimism (Sensex had gained ~200 pts at open, and Nifty hovered above 25,850) — but that faded as global cues and investor caution took over.
Why this concerns local investors: The broad sell-off signals a risk-off mood, especially ahead of major global news such as upcoming U.S. interest-rate decisions, which tend to influence foreign fund flows into emerging markets like India.
🌍 Global/Macro Factors — Risk-Off Mood & Bitcoin Slide
Global markets have recently been under pressure due to concerns about over-valued tech stocks and uncertainty around interest rates. That risk-off sentiment has spilled over into both equities and crypto.
As risk assets falter, Bitcoin has seen a decline from its earlier highs. According to recent reports, Bitcoin had dropped to a multi-month low, fueling broader caution among investors.
This global sentiment creates a feedback loop: weaker global markets → risk-off → local markets under pressure (as in India) → increased volatility even in non-crypto assets.
🔄 Bitcoin: Still Volatile — Impacting Market Psychology
Despite sharp swings this year (with prices once crossing six figures), Bitcoin remains volatile — making even traditional investors wary of “risk assets.”
Analysts note that while long-term interest in Bitcoin remains, near-term “risk-off” episodes (tied to global macro developments) are prompting sell-offs — which adds to uncertainty across stock markets.
In effect: when Bitcoin falters, sentiment in risk assets overall suffers, and that often spills over to equities in emerging markets including India.
