Nov-19-2025

Indian markets traded at day’s high levels in early afternoon session as traders preferred to buy fundamental strong stocks. Hefty buying in IT and TECK sectors’ stocks helped markets to trade higher. Traders took support as SBI research report has said that India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth is likely to reach 7.5 per cent or more in the second quarter of the current fiscal (Q2FY26). It noted that growth is being supported by a pick-up in investment activities, recovery in rural consumption, and buoyancy in services and manufacturing, underpinned by structural reforms like GST rationalisation, which also helped unleash a festive spirit that decisively showcased the triumph of hope over hype. Besides, Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal has emphasised that the India-US partnership remains strong, stable and continuously expanding across strategic and economic sectors. On the global front, Asian markets were trading mixed ahead to the release of some US economic data that was delayed, including the September jobs report on Thursday for clues on the outlook for interest rates.
