Sectoral performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Gainers:<\/strong> Auto, capital goods, oil\u00a0& gas, private banking and energy indices rose roughly 0.2\u20130.6\u00a0%<\/strong>, helped by strong buying in large\u2011cap names. The Nifty\u00a0Infrastructure<\/strong> index led sectoral gains (~+0.57\u00a0%).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Laggards:<\/strong> Consumer durables, media, PSU bank and select realty stocks fell 0.3\u20131.5\u00a0%<\/strong>. The Nifty\u00a0PSU Bank<\/strong> index was the worst performer, slipping around 0.9\u00a0%<\/strong>. Broader market indices were mixed as mid\u2011cap stocks inched up while small\u2011caps declined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Financials:<\/strong> Nifty\u00a0Financial\u00a0Services was the top gainer among sector indices. Strength in private banks and NBFCs supported the rally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Key statistics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Foreign institutional investors (FIIs)<\/strong> were net buyers in the preceding session (Nov\u00a019), purchasing about \u20b91\u202f580\u00a0crore<\/strong> of equities. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs)<\/strong> also bought roughly \u20b91\u202f360\u00a0crore<\/strong>, providing additional support. Fresh FII flows on Nov\u00a020 were not yet released but sentiment remained positive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • More than 140<\/strong> stocks on the BSE hit new 52\u2011week highs, while over 180<\/strong> stocks touched 52\u2011week lows, reflecting divergent moves within the broader market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Put\u2013Call\u00a0Ratio (PCR)<\/strong> on index options remained above 1.4, indicating more put writing and a bullish undertone. Derivative analysts noted heavy put writing around 26\u202f000<\/strong> for Nifty and 59\u202f000<\/strong> for Bank\u00a0Nifty, suggesting these levels as strong near\u2011term support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      What moved the market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • India\u2013US trade optimism:<\/strong> Comments from trade officials suggested progress on phase\u20111 of a bilateral trade deal. Investors took this as a positive signal that tariff barriers on Indian goods might soon ease, boosting export\u2011oriented sectors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Global tech earnings:<\/strong> US chipmaker Nvidia<\/strong> reported blockbuster quarterly results and raised its sales outlook, igniting a rally in global technology stocks. This sentiment spilled over into Indian IT heavyweights (e.g., Tech\u00a0Mahindra, Infosys), lifting the Nifty\u00a0IT index.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Fresh buying in financials:<\/strong> Private banks and NBFCs continued to draw inflows. Bajaj\u00a0Finance, Bajaj\u00a0Finserv and HDFC\u00a0Bank rallied, helping the Sensex and Nifty overcome intraday profit\u2011taking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Sector rotation:<\/strong> Traders rotated into auto, infrastructure and energy names amid expectations of cap\u2011ex\u2013led growth and stable crude oil prices. Meanwhile, defensives like consumer durables and PSU banks lagged as investors trimmed exposure following recent runs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Derivatives positioning:<\/strong> High PCR values and significant put writing at 26\u202f000 (Nifty) and 59\u202f000 (Bank\u00a0Nifty) underscored strong support zones. Traders added long positions ahead of the monthly expiry, betting on further upside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Global cues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Asian markets:<\/strong> Major Asian indices closed strongly higher. Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225 surged over 3.6\u00a0%<\/strong>, South Korea\u2019s Kospi jumped 2.5\u00a0%<\/strong>, China\u2019s CSI\u00a0300 and Hong Kong\u2019s Hang\u00a0Seng gained between 0.5\u00a0% and 0.7\u00a0%<\/strong>. Renewed risk appetite followed Nvidia\u2019s earnings beat and China\u2019s modest policy support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • US markets:<\/strong> On Nov\u00a019, the Dow Jones<\/strong>, S&P\u00a0500<\/strong> and Nasdaq Composite<\/strong> advanced about 0.1\u20130.6\u00a0%<\/strong> on a rebound in technology shares. Investors remained focused on forthcoming US labour data and the Federal Reserve\u2019s minutes, which highlighted a split among officials on inflation risks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Commodities and currency:<\/strong> Brent crude stayed around US$64 per barrel<\/strong>, underpinning oil & gas stocks. The Indian rupee strengthened slightly, hovering near \u20b988.7<\/strong> per US dollar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Outlook for 21 Nov 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Technical view and levels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Nifty\u00a050:<\/strong> The index formed a strong bullish candle on the daily chart. Analysts expect the upward bias to continue, with resistance<\/strong> zones at 26\u00a0350\u201326\u00a0500<\/strong>. Immediate support<\/strong> has shifted higher to 26\u00a0050\u201326\u00a0000<\/strong>; a break below this range could prompt a short\u2011term pullback.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Nifty\u00a0Bank:<\/strong> The index has rallied for four consecutive sessions and is near an all\u2011time high. Relative strength indicators are in overbought territory, so analysts advise caution. Key support<\/strong> levels lie at 59\u00a0000<\/strong> (immediate) and 58\u00a0800<\/strong> (positional). Resistance<\/strong> is seen at 59\u00a0500<\/strong> and 60\u00a0000<\/strong>; fresh long positions are recommended only above 59\u00a0500<\/strong> or on dips toward support levels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Sensex:<\/strong> Support is expected around 84\u00a0700\u201384\u00a0900<\/strong>; resistance lies in the 85\u00a0500\u201385\u00a0700<\/strong> zone. Momentum remains constructive as long as the index holds above 84\u00a0700.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Expected market tone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            The undertone is cautiously bullish<\/strong>. Strong global cues, progress on India\u2013US trade talks, improved FII flows and leadership from financials suggest that indices could attempt to test new highs. However, markets are entering overbought territory, especially in banks, and traders may turn defensive ahead of US macro data (labour report, Fed minutes). Short\u2011term volatility cannot be ruled out; participants should monitor global markets and be prepared for profit\u2011taking if indices fail to sustain above support levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
