Evening Market Recap: Sensex & Nifty End Flat, Metals Shine While IT Slips
Evening Market Recap — 13 Nov 2025
Market Closing
The Indian equity markets ended the session nearly flat as investors adopted a cautious tone.
The Sensex closed at about 84,478.67 (up ~12 points or +0.01%), while the Nifty 50 settled at around 25,879.15 (up ~3 points or +0.01%).
Broader indices underperformed: the Mid-cap and Small-cap segments slipped roughly 0.3% each, reflecting selective profit-booking.
Sector Highlights
- Metals, Realty and Pharma stocks were among the outperformers, each gaining around 0.4-0.5%.
- IT, Media and PSU Banks lagged, with the IT index down ~0.5% on weak global cues and profit-booking.
- The domestic currency, the rupee, closed at ~₹88.66 per US$ with limited movement, underscoring muted external influence.
Top Gainers
- Asian Paints rose ~3.7% and was among top picks, driven by sector rotation into consumer/realty related names.
- Hindalco Industries and InterGlobe Aviation each logged gains of ~2% plus, benefiting from improving global commodity/ travel cues.
Top Losers / Pressure Spots
- Eternal dropped ~3.7% as weak earnings or guidance disappointed investors.
- Tata Motors (CV business) and Mahindra & Mahindra declined ~2-3% amid profit-booking.
Expert Insight
Market strategists say that while recent gains had built momentum, the market has entered a consolidation phase.
One senior fund-manager noted: “With major triggers like outcome of the Bihar elections and India-US trade negotiations still ahead, investors are treading carefully.”
Key Takeaway
The flat finish underlines a market in “wait-and-watch” mode — selective buying in certain sectors, but broad caution persists.
For now, stocks rallying on fundamentals may continue to benefit, while broader indices may stay range-bound until stronger triggers emerge.
