Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and domestic institutional investors (DIIs) activity data was not explicitly detailed for the day, but the overall market weakness suggests cautious positioning amid global cues. International markets showed mixed trends, with investors digesting geopolitical developments and economic data releases. The cautious sentiment in global markets likely influenced the subdued performance in Indian equities.
In summary, the market on 18 Nov 2025 displayed a cautious tone with broad-based declines across sectors and market capitalisation segments. While select stocks like Federal Bank and Bombay Burmah provided some respite, the overall market breadth and sectoral performance indicate a preference for risk aversion among investors. The technical positioning of the Nifty above key moving averages offers some support, but the proximity to its 52-week high and the prevailing global uncertainties suggest investors may favour selective stock evaluation and risk management strategies in the near term.
