On November 14, 2025, the Indian stock market experienced fluctuating dynamics, with benchmark indices initially under pressure before staging a notable recovery in the final trading hour. The Sensex and Nifty50 managed to gain amid increased buying in the PSU banking sector, particularly following the NDA's electoral victory in Bihar, which bolstered market sentiment.
During the trading session, the market faced challenges, primarily due to a decline in metals and IT sector shares, driven by a global sell-off linked to corrections in stocks associated with artificial intelligence. Despite this, the BSE Sensex rebounded from a low of 84,029.32 points, ultimately closing at 84,562.78—an increase of 84.11 points or 0.1%. Similarly, the Nifty50 recovered from a low point of 25,740.80, concluding the session at 25,910.05, reflecting a gain of 30.90 points or 0.12%.
Notable movements included TMCV, Eternal, and Axis Bank, which emerged as top gainers on the BSE. Conversely, Infosys, Tata Steel, and TMPV were among the major laggards. The NSE also displayed similar trends, with TMCV, Eternal, and Bharat Electronics leading the gains, while Infosys and Eicher Motors struggled. Broader market indices also experienced upward momentum, with the Nifty SmallCap 100 rising by 0.38% and the Nifty MidCap 100 increasing by 0.08%.
From a sectoral perspective, the Nifty PSU Bank index was the standout performer, exhibiting an increase of 1.17%; it was closely followed by Pharma and FMCG sectors. In contrast, the Nifty IT index declined by 1.03%, highlighting mixed sector performance. This reflects a broader trend that was observed during the week, where indices showed modest gains overall, with the BSE 30 index and NSE 50 index both concluding approximately 1% higher.
Technical analysts noted that the Nifty has demonstrated a bullish structure, continuing its winning streak for five consecutive sessions, remaining above the critical 25,900 mark. Sustained trading above 26,000 points could signal further upward movement to levels between 26,200 and 26,500, contingent upon maintaining support around 25,600 points.
In terms of corporate earnings, recent reports reflected mixed results across sectors, with many companies showcasing resilience despite inflationary pressures. For example, MRF reported an 11.7% increase in net profit, while Natco Pharma saw a notable decline in earnings, affected by increased expenditures. These results are essential for gauging market sentiment as they provide insights into sectoral health and consumer demand trends.
Looking ahead, the market anticipates a busy week in the primary market, with various IPOs expected to attract investor interest. As investors continue to analyze earnings reports and economic indicators, the focus will remain on macroeconomic developments and geopolitical influences affecting market conditions.
