Market Ends Short Week with Marginal Gains; Rupee Weakens, FIIs Sell

• Indian equity markets closed with marginal gains despite FII selling and a weak rupee in a holiday-shortened week (Dec 22-26, 2025).
• BSE Sensex rose 0.13% to 85041.45 and Nifty50 gained 0.29% to 26,042.30, supported by DII buying.
• BSE Large-Cap, Mid-Cap, and Small-Cap indices all saw gains, with Small-Cap leading at a 1% increase.
• FIIs were net sellers (-Rs 4,290.96 crore), while DIIs were net buyers (+Rs 12,024.49 crore), providing crucial market support.
• The Indian Rupee weakened by 20 paise against the US Dollar, closing at 89.85 per dollar.

Why It Matters: Despite FII selling and a weak rupee, DII buying helped Indian markets close marginally higher in a short week.
