The Indian stock market extended its rally for a third session on November 12, with the Nifty 50 and Sensex indices posting gains. The Nifty 50 closed at 25,875.80, up 0.70%, while the Sensex rose 0.71% to 84,466.51. This upward momentum was driven by robust buying in IT stocks, which emerged as the top sectoral gainer, with the Nifty IT index rising over 2%. The Nifty Auto and Pharma indices also performed well, gaining over 1%. Conversely, Nifty Metal and Nifty Realty closed in the red. In the broader market, midcap and smallcap indices saw modest gains. India VIX, a measure of market volatility, declined over 3%. Foreign Institutional Investors were net sellers, while Domestic Institutional Investors were significant net buyers. Analysts attribute the positive sentiment to global market optimism, including expectations of a potential US shutdown resolution and anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts. Technical analysts suggest Nifty has strong support around 25,700-25,750 and resistance near 25,950-26,000, with potential to test previous highs if it breaks above 26,100. Derivatives data indicates strong open interest at the 26,000 call strike, suggesting it as a key resistance level, while substantial put open interest at 25,800 points to support. Impact: This news indicates a bullish trend in the Indian stock market, driven by strong domestic institutional buying and positive global cues. The sustained rally and expert outlook suggest potential for further upside, influencing investor confidence and trading activity across various sectors. Overall market sentiment is positive, leading to a potential increase in trading volumes and investment. Rating: 8/10.
