Indian equity markets have started the day in red today. At 9:40 a.m., 3rd December, 2025, Nifty 50 is down by 106 points or 0.41%. Sensex is down by 305.2 points or 0.36%.
Market sentiments got an adverse hit yesterday after rupee depreciated against the dollar to close near the Rs 90/ dollar mark. Further decline in the value of rupee was arrested only after market intervention by RBI. The central bank sold dollars to prevent the rupee from declining further. This has also raised the probability that RBI will keep interest rate unchanged in its December monetary policy meeting. Its monetary policy meeting will take place today and tomorrow. An interest rate cut will put further downward pressure on rupee.
IT stocks gaining today
IT stocks are gaining today. This, on the expectation that US Federal Reserve will go for a 25 basis point rate cut in its upcoming monetary policy meeting on December 9th– 10th. Interest rate cut there may give a boost to the US economy. This in turn may increase demand from US companies for the services of Indian IT companies. Depreciation in rupee against the dollar also benefits Indian IT companies. They earn a significant part of their revenues in US dollars from US clients. Depreciation in rupee against the dollar results in translation gains for them. There revenue in rupee terms goes up when the rupee weakens against the dollar.
