Sensex jumps over 500 points; Nifty crosses 26,000 mark

Business Dec 22, 2025

India's stock market kicked off the week with a strong rally—Sensex climbed 505 points to 85,434 and Nifty crossed the 26,000 mark.
The main drivers? A stronger rupee, upbeat global markets, and renewed interest from foreign investors.

What's fueling the surge?

V K Vijayakumar from Geojit Investments credits the rebound to foreign investor buying and a sharp rupee recovery but adds that high prices could slow things down.
Anand James, also from Geojit, thinks Nifty could keep rising if it stays above key levels—though he suggests keeping an eye on currency swings and global trends for what comes next.
