    What moved the market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Rate\u2011cut optimism:<\/strong> Comments from U.S. Federal Reserve officials and easing U.S. inflation data bolstered expectations of a Fed rate cut in December. At home, traders anticipate a 25\u2011bp cut by the Reserve Bank of India in the upcoming monetary policy meeting as inflation moderates. Lower rates typically support equity valuations, particularly financials and rate\u2011sensitive sectors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Global risk\u2011on mood:<\/strong> Wall Street\u2019s major indices closed sharply higher (Dow\u00a0+1.43\u00a0%, S&P\u00a0500\u00a0+0.89\u00a0%, Nasdaq\u00a0+0.65\u00a0%) and Asian indices extended gains (Nikkei\u00a0+1.96\u00a0%, Kospi\u00a0+1.66\u00a0%, Hang\u00a0Seng\u00a0+0.57\u00a0%). Stable crude oil (~$58.19\/bbl) and U.S. 10\u2011year Treasury yields (~4.01\u00a0%) signalled muted macro\u2011risks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Short covering and domestic liquidity:<\/strong> Following three days of declines, traders covered short positions as the December futures series opened. Strong domestic institutional buying (~\u20b93,900\u00a0crore on Nov\u00a025) and retail participation outweighed modest FII inflows, creating a \u201cSanta\u2011rally\u201d feel. Market breadth was extremely positive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Easing geopolitical risk:<\/strong> Hopes of a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine eased commodity\u2011price worries and supported a shift into cyclical stocks like metals and real estate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Technical outlook & levels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Nifty\u00a050:<\/strong> The index has fully retraced its recent three\u2011session decline and closed near the day\u2019s high. It remains above its 20\u2011day exponential moving average (20\u2011EMA) and is approaching its record high (26,277). Immediate support lies at 25,800<\/strong>, while 26,300\u201326,500<\/strong> forms the next resistance zone. A decisive close above 26,300 could pave the way for new highs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Bank\u00a0Nifty:<\/strong> The index formed a strong bullish candlestick and its relative strength index (RSI) signalled a bullish crossover. 59,200<\/strong> is immediate support; 58,800<\/strong> is positional support. On the upside, 60,000<\/strong> serves as a psychological resistance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Market tone for 27\u00a0Nov:<\/strong> With major indices near record levels and technical indicators bullish, the near\u2011term tone remains positive to mildly bullish<\/strong>. However, valuations are becoming stretched and profit\u2011booking cannot be ruled out around 26,300\u201326,500 on the Nifty. Traders may continue with a \u201cbuy\u2011on\u2011dips\u201d approach but should watch for signs of exhaustion or adverse global cues. Sector\u2011wise, metals, energy, real estate and IT may continue to lead if global risk\u2011on sentiment persists, while telecom could remain under pressure due to supply overhang in Bharti\u00a0Airtel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Indian equities staged a broad\u2011based rally on 26 Nov 2025, lifting the Sensex above 85,500 and the Nifty past 26,200. Robust domestic institutional buying, short covering and positive global cues\u2014including hopes of U.S. and Indian rate cuts\u2014drove the gains. Market breadth was very strong, with metals, IT and consumer durables leading sectoral performance. Top gainers included JSW Steel, HDFC Life, Bajaj Finserv, Bajaj Finance and Jio Financial, while Bharti Airtel and other defensives lagged. Corporate news focused on block deals, contract wins and regulatory approvals, giving traders a list of stocks to watch<\/strong> for the next session. Technical indicators point to further upside but caution is warranted near all\u2011time highs; a buy\u2011on\u2011dips<\/strong> strategy with attention to support\/resistance levels is advised for the next trading day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
