Nifty continued to move up on Tuesday and witnessed high volatility on the day of weekly F&amp;0 expiry and closed the day higher by 120 points. After opening on a positive note the market slipped into weakness in the early part of the session. A sharp recovery has emerged from the lows of 25450 levels and the market witnessed an excellent bounce back in the mid to later part of the session.

A long bull candle has been formed on the daily chart with long lower shadow. Technically this market action indicates continuation of upside momentum amidst high volatility.

The underlying trend of Nifty continues to be positive. Next upside targets to be watched around 26000-26100 in the next one week. Immediate support is placed at 25500.

Markets witnessed a volatile session on the weekly expiry day but eventually ended in the green, extending Monday’s rebound. After an initial uptick, the Nifty drifted lower during the early hours; however, strong buying across heavyweights in the latter half lifted the index to close near the day’s high at 25,694.95. Sectorally, a mixed trend kept traders engaged—IT, auto, and metal stocks outperformed, while financials, realty, and pharma ended subdued. In the broader market, the midcap index gained over half a percent, whereas the smallcap index closed marginally lower, reflecting selective participation.

The early weakness was primarily driven by cautious global cues and continued FII selling. However, renewed buying interest in index heavyweights helped markets recover, supported by optimism following Goldman Sachs’ recent upgrade of India’s rating outlook. Additionally, some short-covering on weekly expiry further strengthened the momentum in the latter part of the session.

Technically, the Nifty has reclaimed its short-term moving average, the 20-DEMA, around the 25,600 mark. Sustaining above this level could open the door for a move toward 25,800–26,000, while any weakness below it might trigger profit-taking. Continued resilience in banking majors along with strength in IT stocks provides comfort for a potential rebound. Traders are advised to maintain a stock-specific approach, emphasizing risk management and rotational opportunities across sectors amid the prevailing volatility.

Indian equity indices Nifty 50 and Sensex settled at the day's high, swinging to the green from the red as the domestic equity markets showcased 'resilience' following the blasts in Delhi. After falling nearly half a percent in the morning session, the benchmarks clawed back losses to close almost half a percent higher.

At close, the <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/indian-indices/sensex-4.html">Sensex</a> was higher by 364.43 points or 0.44 percent at 83,899.78, and the Nifty was up 121 points or 0.47 percent at 25,694.95.

According to experts, the blasts will not have much of an impact on the markets. "Markets are typically quite resilient to such incidents since based on the experience of last several years. Such an incident looks like an isolated one," noted Vikas Gupta, Omniscience Capital.

Indian markets are showing remarkable resilience and maturity at this point, said  Kranthi Bathini, WealthMills Securities. "The recent terror attacks are unlikely to have any significant impact on corporate operations or profitability, unless there is a major escalation that triggers a broader geopolitical event. Barring such developments, markets are expected to remain steady and well-balanced."

Gupta further added that as long as markets see a strong response from the security agencies to investigate and punish such incidents quickly, along with measures for preventing future such incidents, markets will focus more on the economic data and less on these.

Gaurang Shah, Geojit Financial Services did make a note that the markets are waiting for clarity on the Delhi blast investigations before taking a firm direction. "If a Pakistan angle emerges, the government’s response could be similar to Operation Sindoor, since it has already stated it wouldn't differentiate between state and non-state actors," he said.

Geopolitical risk is already priced into Indian market valuations for foreign investors. Domestic retail investors have lived through the assassinations of two prime ministers, multiple armed conflicts with Pakistan, and frequent terror attacks, as per market expert Ajay Bagga. As a result, markets are looking past the Red Fort blast for now and focusing instead on the more optimistic cues.

Instead of the blasts, the markets are eying the Fed event later today, while expectations around exit polls and progress on the trade deal are adding to the positive sentiment. With FPIs holding short positions of about 1.56 lakh contracts, the market remains cautious yet resilient, said Mayuresh Joshi, Director - Research, MarketSmith India.

What happened?

A high-intensity explosion ripped through a slow-moving car at a traffic signal near Delhi's Red Fort metro station on November 10 - leading to 13 deaths and many injuries. The blast occurred around 7 pm at the Subhash Marg traffic signal, damaging nearby vehicles and prompting a nationwide alert.

Delhi Police said that the car, in which the blast took place, had three occupants, adding that they are also probing if it was a suicide bomber attack. Further, the police registered an FIR under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the Explosives Act in connection with the deadly blast.  The national capital has been placed on high alert with strict vigil being maintained at the airport, railway stations and bus terminals.

Dalal Street climbs wall of worry, shrugs off losses to end with strong gains; markets remain 'resilient' following Delhi blast

Indian equity indices Nifty 50 and Sensex settled at the day's high, swinging to the green from the red as the domestic equity markets showcased 'resilience' following the blasts in Delhi.

The domestic markets  recovered sharply on Tuesday, trimming early losses as investor sentiment improved following positive global cues and renewed optimism over a possible India-US trade agreement.

The Sensex began the trade on a negative note by declining 411.32 points or 0.49 percent to 83,124.03. The Nifty dropped 125.1 points, or 0.48 percent to 25,449.25 in the early trade.

However, both the benchmark indices made a strong comeback and closed the session with significant gains.

The Sensex jumped 335.97 points, or 0.4 percent to settle at 83,871.32, while the Nifty climbed 120.60 points, or 0.47 percent to close at 25,694.95.

<a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/transportlogistics/interglobeaviation/IA04">InterGlobe Aviation</a>, Bharat Electronics and HCL Tech were among the top gainers in the Nifty50 pack, rising up to 2 percent, while <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/finance-nbfc/bajajfinance/BAF">Bajaj Finance</a> and Bajaj Finserv were the key losers, declining up to 7 percent.

Key reasons behind market recovery 

1) India-US trade deal optimism: Investor confidence improved after US President Donald Trump said the United States was "pretty close" to reaching a trade deal with India. Trump said the proposed pact would strengthen economic and security ties, boost energy exports, and encourage investments. "We’re getting a fair deal, just a fair trade deal," Trump said at the swearing-in ceremony of US envoy to India Sergio Gor, adding that talks were "getting close" to completion.

"The domestic market opened on a subdued note amid concerns over potential implications of the Delhi explosion. However, it recovered smartly and closed at the day's high, supported by global cues as the US Senate passed a bill to end the longest-ever federal shutdown.

"Importantly, the Q2 results season is nearing its end and is expected to conclude on a positive note, driven by better-than-expected performance by the broader market. The rally was sustained by gains in IT, auto, metal, and FMCG sectors," Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Ltd, said.

2) Traders eye end to US shutdown: The US Senate on Monday passed a bill to restore federal funding, paving the way to end the longest government shutdown in American history. The reopening is expected to provide clarity on delayed economic indicators such as the non-farm payrolls report and offer direction on the Federal Reserve’s policy stance.

3) Fed rate cut expectations: Markets were also buoyed by growing expectations of another interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve in December. Fed Governor Stephen Miran said on Monday that a 50-basis point reduction would be "appropriate," citing easing inflation and a gradual rise in unemployment.

4) Firm global cues: Asian markets traded higher, with South Korea’s Kospi, Japan’s Nikkei 225, and China’s Shanghai Composite Index all in positive territory. Overnight, U.S. markets ended with strong gains, with the S&amp;P 500 rising 1.54 percent and the Nasdaq 100 advancing 2.20 percent — their biggest single-day gains since May — after the U.S. Senate moved to end the record-long government shutdown.

"The rebound in global equities and easing crude prices have supported the domestic market recovery," said Devarsh Vakil, Head of Prime Research, HDFC Securities.

5) Decline in crude oil prices: Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, fell 0.19 percent to USD 63.94 per barrel. Softer crude prices are generally supportive for the Indian economy as they help ease import bills and reduce inflationary pressures.

Sensex settles 750 pts higher from day's low, Nifty ends near 25,700: 5 key reasons behind sharp market recovery

Stock market today news: Sensex rises 750 pts from day's low, Nifty reclaims 25,700: 5 key reasons behind sharp market recovery

The domestic markets  recovered sharply on Tuesday, trimming early losses as investor sentiment improved following positive global cues and renewed optimism over a possible India-US trade agreement.

The Sensex began the trade on a negative note by declining 411.32 points or 0.49 percent to 83,124.03. The Nifty dropped 125.1 points, or 0.48 percent to 25,449.25 in the early trade.

The equity benchmark indices declined on Tuesday, snapping the previous session’s gains, as selling in select financial stocks and fresh foreign fund outflows weighed on investor sentiment.

At around 10:45 a.m., Sensex fell 398.61 points or 0.48 percent to 83,136.74, while the broader Nifty dropped to 25,454.70, down 119.65 points or 0.47 percent.

<a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/finance-nbfc/bajajfinance/BAF">Bajaj Finance</a>, Bajaj Finserv, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles were among the major laggards, declining up to 7 percent, while <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/telecommunications-service/bhartiairtel/BA08">Bharti Airtel</a> and Bharat Electronics were the top gainers in the Nifty50 pack, rising up to 2 percent.

Key factors behind market decline

1) FII Selling: Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 4,114.85 crore on Monday, weighing on the investor sentiment.

2) Lack of liquidity: Market participants said the recent rush of mainboard IPOs has also absorbed liquidity from the secondary market. Major public issues currently open for subscription include Pine Labs’ Rs 3,899.91-crore IPO, Emmvee Photovoltaic’s Rs 2,900-crore issue, and PhysicsWallah’s Rs 3,480-crore offer. Recently, mega offerings from Groww and Lenskart also closed.

"There are signs of moderation in the U.S. trade stance towards India, which is a positive for markets," G Chokkalingam, Founder and Head of Research at Equinomics Research told Reuters. "However, consolidation is likely to continue as liquidity concerns persist in the secondary market amid the ongoing IPO boom," he added.

Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments noted, "Investors have to give priority to valuations and safety now. While Nvidia, the most valuable company in the world, is trading at 51 times earnings, Indian retail investors are investing in IPOs priced at 230 times earnings. These are dangerous, unhealthy trends. Time for caution."

3) Expiry day moves: Traders also attributed the volatility to Nifty expiry day, typically marked by sharp fluctuations as traders square off derivative positions before contract settlement.

4) Rise in India Vix: The India VIX — a measure of market volatility — rose 5 percent to 12.90, indicating heightened nervousness among traders. A rise in the volatility index generally signals increased uncertainty and potential price swings in the near term.

5) Weak global cues: China’s Shanghai Composite was down 0.43 percent and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index fell 0.33 percent. Nasdaq and S&amp;P futures were also quoted lower, indicating a weak opening for the US markets.

6) Profit Booking in Financials: The <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/stocks/bajaj-finance-stock-in-focus-after-q2-results-brokerages-broadly-positive-despite-growth-guidance-cut-13665951.html" target="_blank">decline in financial stocks overshadowed optimism surrounding progress in India–U.S. trade negotiations</a> and expectations of a resolution to the U.S. government shutdown. Shares of Bajaj Finance fell over 7 percenbt after the lender revised its FY26 growth guidance downward. Its associate company, Bajaj Finserv, also declined 6.5 percent. While the NBFC major reported growth across key performance metrics for the July–September quarter, asset quality showed signs of deterioration.

On the technical front, Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said, "Despite the turn lower from 25,650 on expected lines, we anticipate another attempt to clear this barrier. Upside objectives may be set at 25,850–25,980, though this could take a few days to materialise. Support is seen at 25,485, while a fall below this could negate upside hopes. Deeper supports are placed at 25,200 and 25,088."

2) Lack of liquidity: Market participants said the recent rush of mainboard IPOs has also absorbed liquidity from the secondary market. Major public issues currently open for subscription include Pine Labs’ Rs 3,899.91-crore IPO, Emmvee Photovoltaic’s Rs 2,900-crore issue, and PhysicsWallah’s Rs 3,480-crore offer. Recently, mega offerings from Groww and Lenskart also closed.

&quot;There are signs of moderation in the U.S. trade stance towards India, which is a positive for markets,&quot; G Chokkalingam, Founder and Head of Research at Equinomics Research told Reuters. &quot;However, consolidation is likely to continue as liquidity concerns persist in the secondary market amid the ongoing IPO boom,&quot; he added.

Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments noted, &quot;Investors have to give priority to valuations and safety now. While Nvidia, the most valuable company in the world, is trading at 51 times earnings, Indian retail investors are investing in IPOs priced at 230 times earnings. These are dangerous, unhealthy trends. Time for caution.&quot;

3) Expiry day moves: Traders also attributed the volatility to Nifty expiry day, typically marked by sharp fluctuations as traders square off derivative positions before contract settlement.

4) Rise in India Vix: The India VIX — a measure of market volatility — rose 5 percent to 12.90, indicating heightened nervousness among traders. A rise in the volatility index generally signals increased uncertainty and potential price swings in the near term.

5) Weak global cues: China’s Shanghai Composite was down 0.43 percent and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index fell 0.33 percent. Nasdaq and S&amp;amp;P futures were also quoted lower, indicating a weak opening for the US markets.

6) Profit Booking in Financials: The decline in financial stocks overshadowed optimism surrounding progress in India–U.S. trade negotiations and expectations of a resolution to the U.S. government shutdown. Shares of Bajaj Finance fell over 7 percenbt after the lender revised its FY26 growth guidance downward. Its associate company, Bajaj Finserv, also declined 6.5 percent. While the NBFC major reported growth across key performance metrics for the July–September quarter, asset quality showed signs of deterioration.

On the technical front, Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said, &quot;Despite the turn lower from 25,650 on expected lines, we anticipate another attempt to clear this barrier. Upside objectives may be set at 25,850–25,980, though this could take a few days to materialise. Support is seen at 25,485, while a fall below this could negate upside hopes. Deeper supports are placed at 25,200 and 25,088.&quot;

Dalal Street's frontline indices Nifty 50 and Sensex opened on a tepid note on Tuesday, November 11, despite positive global cues amid progress on the U.S. shutdown bill and optimism over a nearing U.S. trade deal.

At 09:19 a.m., the Sensex was down 95.27 points or 0.11 percent at 83,440.08, and the Nifty was down 25.65 points or 0.10 percent at 25,548.70.

Most sectoral indices were trading with a mild positive bias, reflecting a steady but cautious market mood. Nifty IT was the standout gainer with a firm uptick, while Pharma, PSU Bank, Private Bank, Realty, Healthcare, Consumer Durables, and Oil and Gas also saw small advances. Media and Metal inched higher too. On the flip side, Financial Services 25/50 and FMCG slipped slightly, signalling selective profit-taking.

The markets are expected to view the end of the U.S. shutdown as a relief, as it lowers the risk of prolonged disruption to government services, payments, and key data releases. If the bill clears all stages in the coming days, the U.S. government could reopen soon, easing uncertainty for investors. The easing in global uncertainty is set to boost sentiment, support broad-based buying, and reinforce a risk-on tone in the domestic market as traders position themselves more confidently.

The advice for investors is that it is time to remain cautious as the AI trade may continue for some more time, and so long as this trade persists, FIIs, particularly hedge funds, may continue to sell in India. "This will weigh on Indian markets," stated VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments.

He added that investors have to give priority to valuations and safety now. While Nvidia, the most valuable company in the world, is trading at 51 times earnings, Indian retail investors are investing in IPOs priced at 230 times earnings. "These are dangerous, unhealthy trends. Time for caution," Vijayakumar said.

On the technical front, the Nifty appears poised for range-bound movement as traders adopt a cautious stance ahead of key triggers. "While the 25,500–25,350 zone is likely to act as a strong support base, the 25,650–25,750 zone remains the immediate resistance cluster," said Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities.

He added that a buy-on-dips approach remains favourable only as long as the index sustains above 25,500, while a decisive close above 25,750 could pave the way for a meaningful up-move toward the 25,900–26,000 levels.

Nifty, Sensex in red despite global optimism on US shutdown nearing end, IT stocks shine
