Skip to content Indian Stock Market Deep Dive – Sensex, Nifty 50 & Global Indices Performance (Weekly, Yearly & 10-Year)
Indian Stock Market Weekly Review: November 7, 2025
Indian equities concluded the first week of November on a subdued note, marking their second consecutive weekly decline after a robust October rally. The Sensex fell 94.73 points (0.11%) on Friday to close at 83,216.28, while the Nifty 50 declined 17.40 points (0.07%) to settle at 25,492.30. For the week, both benchmark indices posted losses of approximately 0.9%, extending their multi-session slide despite a sharp late-session recovery on Friday.
The week’s decline marked a stark departure from October’s exuberance, which saw the Sensex gain 4.57%—its best monthly performance in seven months. Friday’s trading session exemplified the market’s volatility, with indices falling as much as 0.75% intraday before recovering most losses in the final hours, supported by buying in financials, metals, and auto sectors.

Sectoral Performance and Market Breadth
Sectoral dynamics were mixed but notably rotational. The Nifty Metal index surged 1.41%, leading gains on Friday, while Nifty Financial Services Ex-Bank jumped 2.18% and PSU Bank index advanced 0.87%. The PSU banking sector has been a consistent outperformer, with the index up 0.12% for the week, buoyed by continued speculation about potential FDI limit increases from 20% to 49% in public sector banks.
On the downside, IT (-0.62%), FMCG (-0.49%), and Consumer Durables (-0.72%) sectors faced selling pressure. The IT sector’s weakness reflected global concerns about AI stock valuations and continued FII selling in technology-heavy portfolios.
Broader markets displayed resilience, with the Nifty Midcap 100 rising 0.63% on Friday, though it remained flat for the week. The Nifty Smallcap 100 fell 0.16% on Friday and declined 1.7% for the week, underperforming large-caps. This divergence suggests selective buying interest in quality midcap names while retail investors remained cautious in smallcaps amid valuation concerns.
Foreign and Domestic Institutional Flows
The week witnessed a dramatic reversal in FII sentiment on Friday. After selling ₹3,263.21 crore on Thursday, FIIs turned net buyers of ₹5,147.92 crore on Friday (NSE data) or ₹4,581.34 crore (combined exchanges). This marked the first significant buying day after weeks of sustained outflows, potentially signalling a shift in foreign sentiment.
However, for November (through November 7), FIIs remained net sellers at ₹1,632.66 crore, extending their cautious stance. The broader trend shows FII ownership in NSE-listed companies has fallen to 16.71%—a 13-year low—down from 17.15% in June 2025.
This was in stark contrast to DIIs, who continued their unwavering support, buying ₹6,135.12 crore on Friday and ₹16,677.94 crore for the week through November 7. This marked the 29th consecutive week of DII net purchases, pushing their holdings in NSE-listed companies to an all-time high of 18.26%. This historic shift reflects the power of domestic retail money flowing through SIPs (₹23,000+ crore monthly), insurance investments, and mutual fund participation.
Corporate Earnings: Q2 FY26 Finale
The Q2 earnings season concluded with over 750 companies reporting results, showing mixed but generally positive trends. Key highlights from the final week included:
- Bajaj Auto: Net profit surged 24% YoY to ₹2,480 crore, with revenue jumping 14% to ₹14,922 crore, reflecting strong domestic and export demand for two-wheelers.
- Trent: Net profit rose 6.45% YoY to ₹451 crore, with revenue up 17% to ₹4,724 crore, as the Zudio-parent benefited from robust festive season demand.
- Divi’s Laboratories: Net profit jumped 34% YoY to ₹696 crore, with revenue rising 16% to ₹2,660 crore, highlighting strong pharmaceutical export momentum.
- AstraZeneca Pharma India: Net profit climbed 41% YoY to ₹54 crore, with revenue advancing 37% to ₹559 crore.
Overall, Nifty 50 companies delivered revenue growth of 5.4% YoY and net profit growth of 13.7%, exceeding initial expectations. Management commentaries remained cautiously optimistic, citing festive season tailwinds, rural demand recovery, and infrastructure spending momentum.
Macroeconomic Developments: Record-Low Inflation
The week’s most significant macroeconomic news was the projected collapse in October CPI inflation to a record low of 0.48%—the lowest level since the current CPI series began in 2012. A Reuters poll of 42 economists projects inflation plunging from 1.54% in September to just 0.48% in October, driven by:
- Sustained vegetable price deflation for six consecutive months
- Favourable base effects from high prices in October 2024
- GST rate rationalisation effective since late September
- Easing global commodity prices
The Bank of Baroda Essential Commodities Index fell 3.8% YoY as of November 6, marking the sharpest decline since inception. Analysts expect the RBI to lower its FY26 inflation forecast from 2.6% when the MPC meets December 3-5, potentially paving the way for another 25 bps rate cut either in December or February.
Policy and Regulatory Developments
- US Tariffs on India: President Trump’s 50% tariffs on Indian goods (effective August 27, 2025) continued to weigh on sentiment, particularly impacting textiles, gems & jewellery, leather, marine products, and auto parts—sectors comprising 55% of India’s $87 billion exports to the US. However, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, energy, and critical minerals remain exempt, preserving India’s strategic supply chain role.
- Trade Diplomacy: India condemned the tariffs and continues to pursue WTO consultations and export diversification, though expectations for a tariff rollback are tied to the 2026 US elections.
- Economic Outlook: The October IIP data (to be released November 28) and fiscal deficit numbers (November 30) will provide further insights into the economy’s momentum.
Currency and Commodities
The Indian rupee ended virtually unchanged at ₹88.66 per dollar, remaining range-bound amid balanced FII flows and strong forex reserves above $700 billion. Crude oil prices stabilised after earlier volatility, while gold prices remained elevated near record highs as a safe-haven amid global uncertainties.
Global Markets: Tech Rout and AI Valuation Concerns
Asia: Tech Weakness Spreads
Asian markets mirrored the global tech selloff. Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 1.8% on Friday, heading toward a 4.7% weekly decline—the worst since late March. South Korea’s KOSPI dropped 1.4%, resulting in a 3.3% weekly loss, also its worst since March.
China announced expectations of 700 billion yuan ($96 billion) in consumer stimulus for 2025, including 300 billion yuan for a cash-for-clunkers program, 100 billion yuan for welfare subsidies, and a 5% public service salary increase—the first in a decade. This represents Beijing’s biggest stimulus push since the Global Financial Crisis, aimed at boosting domestic consumption and addressing structural imbalances.
Despite the stimulus news, Chinese markets remained subdued, with investors awaiting concrete implementation details. Q3 GDP growth is expected to slow, raising pressure for additional measures.
United States: Worst Week for Nasdaq Since April
Wall Street experienced its most turbulent week in months, with technology stocks suffering their sharpest selloff since April. The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.8% for the week, marking its worst performance since early April, while the S&P 500 declined 0.4% and the Dow Jones slipped 0.5%.
AI stock valuation fears dominated sentiment, with major tech names experiencing significant declines. Nvidia fell over 10% for the week, while Meta Platforms dropped 6%, Microsoft declined 4%, and Tesla plummeted 3.7% on Friday alone. The Magnificent Seven ETF and iShares Semiconductor ETF both registered substantial weekly losses.
The selloff reflects growing concerns that the AI rally has run too far, with investors questioning whether lofty valuations can be sustained amid slowing earnings growth and high interest rates. As one strategist noted, “This week’s decline seems more like a cleansing of excess rather than a fundamental breakdown”.
Economic data remained absent due to the ongoing government shutdown—now in its 40th day—which has prevented the release of key indicators like employment reports, CPI data, and GDP estimates. This “data blackout” has added to market uncertainty and volatility.
Consumer sentiment came in weaker than expected, reflecting concerns about the shutdown’s economic impact. However, unemployment claims remained low, and Federal Reserve officials maintained their cautious tone on future rate cuts, citing persistent inflation concerns.
On a positive note, Amazon surged to all-time highs on strong AWS performance, while Marriott International jumped 3.6% and ServiceNow gained on solid earnings.
Europe: Worst Weekly Decline Since August
European markets suffered their steepest weekly fall in three months, with the STOXX 600 declining 1.3%—the largest two-week drop since early September. The UK’s FTSE 100 fell 0.4% for the week, while Germany’s DAX and France’s CAC posted similar declines.
The Euro Area index (EU50) dropped 0.49% on Friday and 1.25% for the month, reflecting widespread risk-off sentiment. Analysts attributed the decline to elevated tech valuations globally, the US government shutdown, and hawkish Fed rhetoric.
ITV soared 18.2% on Friday after announcing talks with Sky (Comcast) for a potential £1.6 billion sale of its media and entertainment division. However, Rightmove plunged 24% after projecting slower profit growth in 2026 due to planned AI investments.
Eurozone business activity showed resilience despite market weakness, with composite PMI data indicating continued expansion in services, though manufacturing remained soft.
Trump Trade Dynamics
One year since Trump’s election, global markets have navigated unprecedented volatility. The “TACO trade” (Trump Always Chickens Out) has become a feature, as investors bet on Trump escalating threats before retreating. The dollar is down 4% since the election, while Bitcoin reached $125,835 and gold hit $4,381 per ounce—both record highs—on safe-haven demand.
Tesla’s post-election ride exemplifies the turbulence: shares surged from $243 to $480 by December 2024, plummeted in March-April on tariff fears, crashed again in June on the Musk-Trump fallout, then recovered to $429 on robotaxi enthusiasm and renewed company focus.
Market Outlook
Indian equities enter the second week of November with improving technical indicators and record-low inflation creating a supportive backdrop for further RBI easing. The historic shift to DII dominance over FIIs marks a structural transformation, reducing India’s vulnerability to foreign outflows while highlighting the power of domestic retail participation.
Key factors to monitor include:
- October CPI data (November 12): Expected record-low could prompt RBI dovish shift
- RBI MPC meeting (December 3-5): Markets pricing in 25 bps rate cut
- US government shutdown resolution: Impact on economic data and Fed policy clarity
- China stimulus implementation: Potential boost to global commodity demand
- Festive season sales data: Early indicators suggest robust consumption
The IT sector’s underperformance reflects global AI valuation concerns, but experts say this could present buying opportunities for long-term investors if earnings remain resilient. PSU banks continue to benefit from policy tailwinds, while metals are gaining on infrastructure spending momentum and China stimulus expectations.
With Diwali festivities concluded and earnings season behind us, markets will refocus on macro drivers, global cues, and policy developments. The combination of record-low inflation, robust growth (7.8% in Q1 FY26), and supportive policy provides a solid foundation, though external risks from US tariffs, tech volatility, and geopolitical tensions warrant continued vigilance, experts warn.
