Key gauges settle with modest gains on Friday
Nov-14-2025

Indian equity benchmarks reversed early losses to end modestly higher on Friday as investors turned to buying blue-chip stocks at beaten down prices. The sharp reversal followed counting trends pointing to a decisive win for the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance. 

Some of the important factors in trade:

India, Canada discuss ways to promote bilateral trade, investments: 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. 

Moody's pegs India's growth at 7% for 2025: Moody's Ratings has projected India’s economy to grow at 7 per cent in 2025 and 6.5 per cent in the next year, supported by domestic and export diversification, amid a neutral-to-easy monetary policy stance.

India's wholesale inflation slips into negative zone in October: India's wholesale price index (WPI) inflation slipped into the negative zone in the month of October 2025, easing to (-) 1.21%, compared with 0.13% in September 2025. 

India imposes anti-dumping duty on steel imports from Vietnam for five years: 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. 

Global front: European markets were trading lower as uncertainty persisted over Fed rate cuts and elevated technology valuation concerns loomed. Asian markets settled down as investors fretted about lofty tech valuations and the U.S. economic outlook. 

Finally, the BSE Sensex rose 84.11 points or 0.10% to 84,562.78 and the CNX Nifty was up by 30.90 points or 0.12% to 25,910.05.  

The BSE Sensex touched high and low of 84,697.87 and 84,029.32 respectively. There were 19 stocks advancing against 12 stocks declining on the index.   

The broader indices ended mixed; the BSE Mid cap index fell 0.03%, while Small cap index was up by 0.06%.

The top gaining sectoral indices on the BSE were Telecom up by 0.62%, FMCG up by 0.54%, PSU up by 0.49%, Consumer Durables up by 0.36% and Bankex up by 0.31%, while IT down by 1.16%, Metal down by 0.87%, TECK down by 0.74%, Basic Materials down by 0.68% and Auto down by 0.55% were the top losing indices on BSE.

The top gainers on the Sensex were Eternal up by 1.97%, Bharat Electronics up by 1.70%, Trent up by 1.56%, Axis Bank up by 1.46% and SBI up by 1.34%. On the flip side, Infosys down by 2.58%, Tata Motors Passenger down by 1.62%, Tata Steel down by 1.39%, ICICI Bank down by 1.01% and Tech Mahindra down by 0.57% were the top losers.

Meanwhile, 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. It noted that India’s economic growth is supported by robust infrastructure spending and solid consumption, although the private sector remains cautious about business capital spending. 

It said Indian exporters, facing 50 per cent US tariffs on some products, have succeeded in redirecting exports, its overall exports climbed 6.75 per cent in September even as shipments to the US dropped 11.9 per cent. It added ‘We expect its economy to continue to grow around 6.5 per cent in 2026 and 2027, supported by a neutral-to-easy monetary policy stance amid low inflation’. It noted international capital flows because of positive international investor sentiment have buffered external shocks.

On global growth, Moody’s said it will likely remain steady but subdued with advanced economies growing modestly and emerging markets mostly maintaining stronger momentum. On trade, it said the possibility of China and the US decoupling has increased with rising restrictions and uncertainty, but other major economies could continue to strengthen their relationships. It added outlooks vary widely across G-20 economies. 

For China, Moody’s projected the economy to grow 5 per cent in 2025, supported by government stimulus and strong exports, but expects real GDP growth to gradually slow to 4.2 per cent by 2027. It said ‘Global real GDP growth will likely hover between 2.5 and 2.6 per cent in 2026 and 2027, down from 2.6 per cent in 2025 and 2.9 per cent in 2024’.

CNX Nifty touched high and low of 25,940.20 and 25,740.80 respectively. There were 31 stocks advancing against 20 stocks declining on the index.    

The top gainers on Nifty were TMCV up by 3.20%, Eternal up by 2.15%, Bharat Electronics up by 1.60%, Axis Bank up by 1.57% and Trent up by 1.52%. On the flip side, Infosys down by 2.33%, Eicher Motors down by 2.27%, Tata Steel down by 1.50%, HDFC Life Insurance Company down by 1.27% and Tata Motors Passenger down by 1.27% were the top losers.

European markets were trading lower; UK’s FTSE 100 decreased 143.96 points or 1.47% to 9,663.72, France’s CAC fell 88.49 points or 1.07% to 8,144.00 and Germany’s DAX lost 272.62 points or 1.13% to 23,769.00.

Asian markets settled down on Friday tracking a selloff on Wall Street overnight as investors scaled back expectations of interest rate cuts due to inflation worries and divisions among central bankers about the US economy's health, while investors grew cautious over lofty valuations driven by enthusiasm around artificial intelligence. Chinese and Hong Kong shares declined as a slew of Chinese data signalled a further loss of momentum in October. Moreover, Seoul shares fell even as the US agreeing to lower tariffs on Korean cars and auto parts and setting semiconductor tariff rates ‘no less favourable’ than those applied to Korea's competitors, such as Taiwan.
