Evening Market Recap — 24 Nov 2025

Market Closing

Sensex ended lower by approximately 331 points (-0.39 %), closing at around 84,900.71, while the Nifty 50 slipped about 108 points (-0.42 %) to settle at approximately 25,959.50.

The session marked the second consecutive decline as the market couldn’t sustain earlier gains and saw late-day selling creep in.

Sector Highlights

• All major sector indices (except IT) ended in the red; the Nifty IT sector was the only bright spot, up around 0.41 %.

• Key drag sectors included Metals, Realty, and Oil & Gas, each down between 0.6-2 %.

• Activity in broader markets was weak: the Mid-cap index was down ~0.3%, and the Small-cap index slipped around ~0.8%.

Top Gainers

• Select IT stocks such as Tech Mahindra (+2.4 %) and HCL Technologies showed strength on hopes of global growth in tech.

• Some autos and financial names were resilient though the overall market mood turned cautious later in the day.

Top Losers / Pressure Spots

• Bharat Electronics (BEL) plunged ~3 % and stood out as one of the biggest losers.

• JSW Steel and Tata Steel declined ~2.3 % and ~1.6 % respectively amid weak global metal cues.

Expert Insight

Market strategists highlighted that the indices’ failure to hold above key levels (such as 26,000 on Nifty) and the late-session sell-off point toward a cautious immediate outlook. The optimism in tech wasn’t broad enough to offset weakness elsewhere.

Key Takeaway

The market’s near-term tone remains fragile despite pockets of strength in IT. Investors should monitor upcoming global cues, derivative expiry related flows, and sector-specific earnings to assess whether the current pull-back turns into a deeper correction or simply a consolidation phase.
