Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, are expected to open flat to mildly negative on December 18, tracking weak cues from GIFT Nifty, which was trading lower around 25,863.50.

The domestic market extended its losing streak for the third consecutive session on December 17, as it failed to sustain early gains amid mixed global cues following sluggish US jobs data, continued FII outflows, a weakening rupee, and delays surrounding a potential India–US trade deal.

On Wednesday, the 30-share benchmark index ended at 84559.65 down by -120.21 points or by -0.14 % and then NSE Nifty was at 25818.55 down by -41.55 points or by -0.16 %.

On the global front, markets across the Asia-Pacific region traded lower on Thursday as investors on Wall Street continued to shift away from technology stocks, while attention turned to an upcoming address by US President Donald Trump. Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 1.53 per cent, South Korea’s Kospi dropped 1.36 per cent, and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 edged down 0.3 per cent. Overnight in the US, Wall Street’s major indices settled in the red, with the S&P 500 declining 1.16 per cent, while the Nasdaq Composite recorded the steepest decline, falling 1.81 per cent, as persistent concerns over the artificial intelligence trade pressured technology shares.
