Sensex and Nifty Rebound on Monday, Boosted by IT Rally and Positive Global Sentiment
Indian benchmark indices opened higher on Monday, November 24, 2025, staging a recovery after Friday’s decline. Strong buying in IT stocks and upbeat cues from global markets helped lift investor sentiment in early trade.
The BSE Sensex rose 218.44 points, reaching 85,450.36, while the NSE Nifty gained 69.4 points, touching 26,137.55. Despite the upward momentum, several stocks including Bharat Electronics, Eternal, Mahindra & Mahindra, and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles were trading lower, weighing slightly on the broader performance.
Across Asia, South Korea’s Kospi and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng were in positive territory, while China’s Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index traded lower, reflecting mixed regional trends.
Investor Activity and Market Influences
Market data showed that on Friday, November 21, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold equities worth ₹1,766.05 crore, whereas Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) made significant purchases totaling ₹3,161.61 crore, providing stability to the markets.
Meanwhile, Brent crude prices continue to soften, slipping 0.10% to $62.50 per barrel, offering additional relief for India’s import-dependent economy.
On Friday, the Sensex had fallen 400.76 points (0.47%) to close at 85,231.92, while the Nifty declined 124 points (0.47%) to 26,068.15.
Expert Market Outlook
Despite recent volatility, global cues appear supportive, with U.S. markets closing higher on Friday. Commenting on the outlook, Prashanth Tapse, Senior Vice President (Research) at Mehta Equities Ltd., noted:
Nifty slipped on Friday due to weak global signals and renewed concerns over overheated AI and tech valuations, leaving the index vulnerable after a nervous close. However, Wall Street’s AI-driven rally, optimism around a potential U.S.–India trade deal, easing inflation at 0.25% in October, reassurances from the New York Fed, and falling crude prices provide meaningful support for Indian markets.
