On 20 November 2025, the Indian equity market opened with positive momentum: the Nifty 50 rose past 26,132 and the BSE Sensex started at around 85,462. The rally was driven by global cues such as Nvidia’s strong earnings, coupled with renewed foreign-institutional investor inflows into India. Sector participation improved, particularly in financials, auto and energy, as sentiment turned broadly supportive. Analysts, however, stated that while the start is upbeat, mid-cap and small-cap segments still need earnings confirmation for sustained gains.
