Below the Quote on Market Wrap 26th December 2025 from Mr. Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd

"Markets witnessed a marginal decline after two sessions of range-bound movement and slipped nearly half a percent, extending the ongoing consolidation amid low volumes in the holiday-shortened week. After a steady start, the Nifty gradually drifted lower through the session, tested the 26,000 mark, and eventually settled at 26,042.30. Sectoral performance remained aligned with the benchmark, with most indices ending in the red; IT, financials and auto emerged as the key laggards. The broader markets tracked the benchmark and closed flat to marginally positive, reflecting cautious participation.

In the absence of any major triggers, consolidation is likely to persist amid subdued activity. However, news-based sectoral moves may continue to offer selective trading opportunities. Participants are advised to avoid aggressive positioning and focus on accumulating quality stocks from relatively stronger sectors on declines."
