Indices remain in red in late morning deals
Nov-14-2025

Domestic equity indices remained in red and were trading lower with cut of around quarter percent in late morning deals on account of selling by funds and retail investors. Weak cues from the other Asian markets also weighed on the domestic sentiments. Sentiments remained weak as foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were net sellers of shares worth Rs 383.68 crore on Thursday. However, downside remained limited after early leads showed the NDA crossing the half-way mark of 122 in Bihar Assembly elections. On the BSE sectoral front, traders were seen piling up positions in Telecom, Power, Consumer Durables, Utilities and Healthcare, while selling was witnessed in IT, TECK, Oil & Gas, Metal and Auto.

On the global front, Asian markets were trading mostly in red following the negative cues from US markets overnight. Back home, in the stock specific development, Bharat Dynamics soared on securing a contract worth Rs 2,095.70 crore from the Ministry of Defense.

The BSE Sensex is currently trading at 84271.67, down by 207.00 points or 0.25% after trading in a range of 84042.75 and 84464.94. There were 16 stocks advancing against 15 stocks declining on the index.

Meanwhile, India and Canada have held discussions on ways to promote bilateral trade and investments besides advancing collaborations in areas, including supply chain resilience, and health sectors. The issues were discussed during the India-Canada Ministerial Dialogue on Trade and Investment (MDTI) meeting. The commerce ministry has noted that the ministers from both sides reaffirmed their commitment to fostering an open, transparent, and predictable business environment that supports sustainable growth. Further, both sides have reviewed recent trade policy developments, covering trade in goods and services, and exchanged views to enhance market access, promote regulatory alignment, and support long-term economic resilience.

The discussions hold significance as Canada had paused negotiations for a free trade agreement with India in 2023. The India-Canada relations hit rock bottom following then Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations in 2023 of a potential Indian link to the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India had dismissed Trudeau's accusation as ‘absurd’. During 2023, bilateral trade of goods and services between two countries stood at $18.38 billion. 

In 2024-25, India's exports to Canada rose 9.8 per cent to $4.22 billion from $3.84 billion in 2023-24. However, imports from Canada dipped 2.33 per cent to $4.44 billion in the last fiscal year from $4.55 billion in 2023-24. Meanwhile, ties between two countries have saw an improvement following the talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Canadian counterpart Mark Carney on the margins of the G7 summit at Canada's Kananaskis in June.
