The Indian stock market experienced significant declines on December 16, 2025, with the Sensex dropping nearly 500 points and the Nifty 50 falling below 26,000. This downturn is attributed to persistent foreign selling, lack of a trade deal with the US, and weak global cues, resulting in substantial losses for investors.
