EQUITY
Post Session: Quick Review
Nov-07-2025

Indian equity benchmarks ended flat with negative bias on Friday, amid continued FIIs selling. Markets made gap-down opening tracking weak global cues. However, in the late morning session, indices recovered from their intraday lows, supported by strong gains in banking stocks and optimism surrounding progressive India-US trade talks. Despite the recovery, markets settled just below the neutral lines.

Some of the important factors in trade:

Continued foreign outflows: Traders were cautious as Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were net sellers of shares worth Rs 3,263.21 crore on November 6, 2025.

FTA between India and New Zealand to be finalised soon: Traders overlooked Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal’s statement that talks are progressing fast between India and New Zealand and expressed hope that the free trade agreement will be finalised soon.

India, Peru to hold next round of trade talks in January 2026: Traders paid no attention towards the commerce ministry has said that the next round of negotiations between India and the South American nation Peru are proposed to be held in January 2026 in the national capital. India and Peru have concluded the ninth round of negotiations on November 5.

Global front: European markets were trading in red amid persisting concerns about overvaluation in AI-related stocks and uncertainty over the Federal Reserve's next policy move. Asian markets ended mostly in red as China's exports declined unexpectedly in October and imports growth slowed sharply. Exports dropped 1.1 percent on a yearly basis in October, in contrast to the 8.3 percent increase in September and also confounded expectations for an increase of 3.0 percent.

Meanwhile, Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) has said that automobile retail sales across the domestic market witnessed a 21 per cent year-on-year increase in the 42-day festive season led by record registrations of passenger vehicles and two-wheelers aided by GST rejig enabled drop in prices across segments.

Asian markets settled mostly down on Friday with Japan's Nikkei suffering worst weekly decline since April as heavy losses in technology shares rippled across Tokyo markets. Market sentiments weakened further by tracking Wall Street’s fall overnight as weak US private sector jobs data from Challenger, Gray & Christmas added to concerns about an AI bubble and the possibility of a near-term correction, while cautious comments from some Federal Reserve officials reduced expectations for more rate cuts this year. Chinese and Hong Kong shares declined after customs data showed Chinese exports unexpectedly fell in October as global demand failed to offset the deepening slump in shipments to the United States.
