Sensex, Nifty Trade Flat as Year-End Caution Keeps Markets Range-Bound; Metal Stocks Outperform

 Indian equity markets witnessed subdued trading, with benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty 50 moving in a narrow range amid thin year-end volumes and muted global cues.

Early indicators suggested a mildly positive start; however, gains were short-lived as investors remained cautious ahead of the New Year. The absence of major domestic triggers and low participation due to the holiday season kept the market directionless.

Sector-wise, metal and IT stocks showed relative strength, while banking and FMCG stocks traded mixed. Broader markets underperformed, with midcap and smallcap indices facing selling pressure.

Market experts noted that low liquidity typical of year-end sessions continued to cap upside momentum. Investors are expected to remain selective until fresh global and domestic cues emerge in early 2026.
