Today’s session looked scary in the morning, but the market refused to give up. We opened weak on global cues, slipped more in the first half, and then quietly climbed back. By the close, the indices were almost flat, but inside the market a lot actually happened.

🎯 Index Wrap – Nifty, Sensex, Bank Nifty

🔵 Nifty 50

• Closed at 25,492.30
• Down just 17.40 points (-0.06%)

🟢 Sensex

• Ended at 83,216.28
• Down 94.73 points (-0.11%)

🏦 Bank Nifty

• Around 57,876.80 at close up 322.55 points (+0.56%),

It felt much worse intraday. At one point Nifty and Sensex were down around three-quarters of a percent before short covering and buying in select stocks pulled them back.

In the broader market:

• Nifty Midcap 100: +0.63%
• Nifty Smallcap 100: -0.16%

So headline indices were flat, but midcaps quietly did the heavy lifting.

🧩 Market Mood & Sectors

If you just glance at Nifty, you’d think “nothing happened.” The sector picture says something else.

Sectors that did well:

• 🟣 Financial Services ex-Bank – strong day, up over 2%
• ⚙️ Metals – bounced nicely after recent selling
• 🏦 PSU Banks – also in the green

Sectors under pressure:

• 🧺 FMCG – mild selling
• 💻 IT – still struggling with global tech weakness
• 🛋️ Consumer Durables – profit-booking after a good run

“Money moved out of defensives like FMCG and IT and shifted into metals, NBFCs and PSU banks. Risk-on sectors took the spotlight again.”

🔺 Top Gainers & 🔻 Top Losers (Big Names)

Let’s keep it to the well-known names your viewers track.

🔺 Top gainers (Sensex heavyweights)

• Bajaj Finance ~ +2.37% – strong buying, market liked the growth story and risk-on tone in NBFCs
• Bajaj Finserv ~+1.89% – moved in line with Bajaj Finance
• Tata Steel ~+2.31% – helped by firm sentiment in metals
• Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) ~ +1.98% – autos + rural theme still in play
• ICICI Bank ~+1.71% – quiet, but added stability to Bank Nifty

🔻 Top losers

• Bharti Airtel ~ -4.47% – simple profit-booking after a strong rally
• Tech Mahindra ~ -1.90% – part of the continued selling in IT
• HCL Tech ~ -1.00% – part of the continued selling in IT
• Trent ~ -1.11%– cooling off after big out-performance
• Reliance Industries ~ -1.21% – mild dip, nothin

“Cyclicals and financials were in demand; defensives like telecom, IT and some consumer names saw traders take money off the table.”

📏 Key Levels to Watch (Next Session)

🔵 Nifty 50

• Close: 25,492
• Support:
  • First zone: 25,300–25,400
  • If that breaks and holds below, next area: 25,100
• Resistance:
  • Initial: 25,700–25,800
  • Stronger band: up to 26,000

Right now Nifty is stuck in a range, and price is sitting closer to the lower half of that band.

🏦 Bank Nifty

• Close: roughly 57,870
• Support: 57,200–57,400
• Resistance: 58,800–59,200

Bank Nifty is not leading the upside yet; it’s more sideways, waiting for a trigger.

🟢 Sensex

• Close: 83,216.28
• Support: about 82,800–83,000
• Resistance: around 83,800–84,200

Same story as Nifty: consolidation more than trend.

⚙️ Derivatives & India VIX

India VIX (volatility index)

• Around 12.5 today, up only slightly from Thursday

So, volatility is still low. That usually means:

• Option premiums are not very expensive
• Market is nervous, but not expecting a big shock right now

In Nifty options, traders are mostly playing this range view:

• Puts being written around 25,300–25,400
• Calls packed around 25,700–26,000

Short version:

“Option writers are saying: buy dips near 25,300, sell strength into 25,800–26,000, unless some fresh news hits the market.”

🏛️ SEBI / Regulation – What’s in the Background

Nothing crazy dropped today, but a few themes are still hovering:

• SEBI has been talking about reviewing short-selling and SLB rules so that the system stays robust in a sharp fall.
• At the same time, recent comments from SEBI and the Finance Ministry have calmed F&O fears – they are not shutting it down, they just want more sensible risk.

That’s one reason you’re seeing exchange stocks and some financial names doing okay even when the index is flat.

🚀 IPO Corner – What’s Hot Today

1️⃣ Groww (Mainboard)

• IPO closed today with very strong demand – around 17–18 times overall subscription (approx).
• Retail and HNIs both came in strongly; QIBs too were active.

Message for your viewers: big interest in listed-fintech space is still there.

2️⃣ Finbud Financial Services (NSE SME)

• Issue period: 6–10 Nov
• Overall subscription so far is just over 1x, with more demand expected towards the last day.

3️⃣ Shreeji Global FMCG (NSE SME)

• Issue closed today
• Multiple trackers show it comfortably subscribed, mainly because of non-institutional and retail demand.

4️⃣ Curis Lifesciences & others

• Curis Lifesciences (SME) has seen good interest with multi-times subscription.
• Lenskart Solutions (closed earlier with ~28x subscription) is headed for listing around 10 November, so eyes will stay on that as a sentiment barometer.

“Primary market is alive and well – not every IPO is a mad rush, but quality stories like Groww and Lenskart are still attracting big money.”

💰 FII & DII Flow – Who Supported the Market?

Fresh cash-market numbers for 7 November 2025:

• FIIs:
  • Net buyers ~₹4,581 crore
• DIIs:
  • Net buyers ~₹6,675 crore

So both foreign investors and domestic institutions were on the buy side today. That explains why the market bounced back from the lows even though global cues were weak.

🌎 Gold, Silver, Crude & Rupee

From today’s India commodity and currency dashboard:

• Gold (24k): around ₹12,200 per gram
• Gold (22k): about ₹11,180–11,190 per gram
• Silver: roughly ₹1,48,000–1,49,000 per kg
• Brent crude: near $64 per barrel – not too high, not too low for India.
• USD/INR spot: trading in the ₹88.6–88.7 zone; basically flat on the day.

So no fresh macro shock from commodities or FX. One less headache for the market.

🧠 How Traders & Investors Can Think About This Tape

For short-term traders:

• Market is clearly range-bound right now.
• Your big reference zones on Nifty:
  • Support: 25,300–25,400
  • Resistance: 25,700–26,000
• Ideal approach in this kind of setup is usually:
  • Buy closer to support with a tight stop
  • Book profits as you near resistance
  • Avoid oversized bets in the middle of the range

For long-term investors:

• Today’s close looks boring, but FII + DII both bought – that’s quietly positive.
• India’s macro story, earnings, and strong domestic SIP flows haven’t changed because of a couple of choppy sessions.
• For long horizons, people generally use these sideways phases to add slowly in quality large caps and core themes instead of timing every 50-point move.

⭐ Stock to Study: Bajaj Finance (Not a Call)

If you want one chart to show on screen today, Bajaj Finance is a good candidate:

• It was among the top gainers in the Sensex pack and helped hold indices up.
• After some volatility earlier this year, Q2 commentary and growth numbers have again shifted tone back to “growth with discipline”.

“Bajaj Finance was one of the star movers today, backing the market when global cues were negative. I’m not asking you to buy or sell it – just watch how such growth names behave around results and in choppy markets. Good learning chart.”
