Detailed Coverage:

Global markets are trading lower, with US equity benchmarks like the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite declining significantly on Thursday. This downturn was attributed to profit-taking after recent record highs and concerns over a potential U.S. government shutdown, putting pressure on tech stocks. Asian markets followed suit, opening lower on Friday morning due to Wall Street's decline and ongoing doubts about future Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, with Japan's Nikkei 225 and South Korea's Kospi also falling. The U.S. Dollar Index remains flat, while the Indian Rupee saw a slight depreciation. Crude oil prices are trading higher, with WTI and Brent crude showing gains.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers of Indian shares worth Rs 383.68 crore on November 13, 2025, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) were net buyers of shares worth Rs 3,091.87 crore on the same day, according to provisional data. Gold prices have eased from their all-time highs but remain above Rs 1.20 lakh per 10 grams, despite a 4.8% rise over the past week.
