Nov-07-2025

Domestic equity indices trimmed some of their losses but continued to trade in red in late morning deals owing to selling in Bharti Airtel, Tech Mahindra, HCL Technologies, TCS and Tata MotorsPassenger companies’ stocks. Meanwhile, broader indices were also trading in red with BSE Mid cap index and Small cap index falling in range of 0.25-0.45%. Persistent foreign outflows, a cautious global mood weighed on sentiments. Further, depreciation in Indian rupee against dollar also weighed down sentiments.
