Bourses continue to trade in red in early afternoon session
Nov-14-2025

In a volatile trading session, Indian markets continued to trade in red during early afternoon session as traders avoided to take risk. Investors overlooked the report that Moody’s Ratings in its Global Macro Outlook has said it expects India - the fastest-growing G-20 economy - will grow at 6.5 per cent through 2027, supported by domestic and export diversification. Further, real GDP growth for 2025 calendar year is pegged at 7 per cent, higher than 6.7 per cent in 2024. Sector wise, steel industry remained in focus as India has imposed an anti-dumping duty of $121.55 per tonne on imports of hot rolled flat steel products from Vietnam for five years. On the global front, Asian markets were trading mostly in red despite industrial production in China was up 4.9 percent on year in October. That was shy of expectations for an increase of 5.5 percent and down from 6.5 percent in September. 

The BSE Sensex is currently trading at 84328.10, down by 150.57 points or 0.18% after trading in a range of 84042.75 and 84464.94. There were 15 stocks advancing against 16 stocks declining on the index.

The broader indices were trading in mixed; the BSE Mid cap index declined 0.01%, while Small cap index was up by 0.21%.

Meanwhile, with an aim to protect domestic manufacturers from cheap imports, India has imposed an anti-dumping duty of $121.55 per tonne on imports of hot rolled flat steel products from Vietnam for five years. According to a notification by the finance ministry, the imposition of the duty was recommended by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR).

It said the anti-dumping duty imposed under this notification shall be effective for a period of five years (unless revoked, superseded or amended earlier) from the date of publication of this notification. The steel industry has sought a probe into the alleged dumping of these steel products in India. DGTR had conducted the investigation and recommended the imposition of the duty. The imposition of the duty assumes significance as steel manufacturers have raised concerns over the dumping. However, the user industry is against the move.

Anti-dumping probes are conducted by countries to determine whether domestic industries have been hurt because of a surge in cheap imports. As a countermeasure, they impose these duties under the multilateral regime of Geneva-based World Trade Organization (WTO). The duty is aimed at ensuring fair trading practices and creating a level playing field for domestic producers vis-a-vis foreign producers and exporters.
