Stock market today: Extending their gains for the second straight session, India’s benchmark indices — the and Nifty 50 — ended higher on Tuesday, November 11, supported by upbeat global cues.
The advanced 336 points, or 0.40%, to close at 83,871.32, while the Nifty 50 gained 121 points, or 0.47%, to settle at 25,694.95. Among broader markets, the BSE Midcap index inched up 0.20%, whereas the Smallcap index slipped 0.09%.
” witnessed a volatile session on the weekly expiry day but eventually ended in the green, extending Monday’s rebound. After an initial uptick, the Nifty drifted lower during the early hours; however, strong buying across heavyweights in the latter half lifted the index to close near the day’s high at 25,694.95. Sectorally, a mixed trend kept traders engaged—IT, auto, and metal stocks outperformed, while financials, real estate, and pharmaceuticals ended subdued. In the broader market, the mid-cap index gained over half a per cent, whereas the small-cap index closed marginally lower, reflecting selective participation.
The early weakness was primarily driven by cautious global cues and continued FII selling. However, renewed buying interest in index heavyweights helped markets recover, supported by optimism following Goldman Sachs’ recent upgrade of India’s rating outlook. Additionally, some short-covering on weekly expiry further strengthened the momentum in the latter part of the session,” said Ajit Mishra, SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd.
