New Delhi: Benchmark stock market indices, the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty50, ended the week lower on November 7, 2025. The Sensex dropped by 94.73 points to close at 83,216.28, while the Nifty50 lost 17.40 points, finishing at 25,492.30. This decline was largely influenced by weak global cues and persistent selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs). Market Performance and Sector Analysis Despite a rebound from early losses, the indices faced pressure primarily due to downturns in the IT, FMCG, and consumer durable sectors. Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments Limited, noted that while buying emerged at key support levels, it may be premature to suggest a trend reversal given the mixed earnings reports and cautious global sentiment. Among the notable gainers on the BSE Sensex, Bajaj Finance surged by 2.40%, followed closely by Tata Steel, which rose by 2.37%. Other gainers included Mahindra & Mahindra and ICICI Bank, both showing positive movement. Conversely, Bharti Airtel suffered the most significant loss, plummeting by 4.46%, with Tech Mahindra and Reliance Industries also facing declines. Sectoral Trends and Future Outlook The Nifty Midcap 100 index recorded a gain of 0.63%, indicating some resilience in mid-cap stocks. However, several sectoral indices struggled, with the Nifty FMCG, Nifty IT, and Nifty Consumer Durables all in the red. Ajit Mishra, SVP of Research at Religare Broking Ltd, commented that the cautious market sentiment is a reflection of ongoing global headwinds and a lack of significant domestic triggers. Looking ahead, market participants will closely monitor developments related to the potential US government shutdown and tariff negotiations involving the US, India, and China, as these factors could impact market momentum. In Asian markets, South Korea's Kospi, Japan's Nikkei 225 index, Shanghai's SSE Composite Index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index settled lower. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 3,263.21 crore on Thursday, however, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) bought stocks worth Rs 5,283.91 crore, according to exchange data.
