Nov-17-2025

Indian equity markets continued to trade in green in late trade as investors showed optimism about a free trade agreement between India and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The commerce ministry has said that India and the EAEU have reviewed the roadmap for their proposed free trade agreement in goods. The development is important as India is looking to diversify its export markets due to high tariffs imposed by the US. India and Russia also deliberated upon ways to boost bilateral trade to $100 billion by 2030. Sentiments were also upbeat as the government approved 17 projects entailing about Rs 7,172 crore investment across six categories under the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), underlining India's resolve and its decisive push into producing high-value components.

On the global front, Asian equity markets were trading mixed as investors braced for a barrage of U.S. economic data. European equity markets were trading lower, due to concerns about an artificial intelligence bubble and global growth.
