Market Breadth
Market breadth remained negative despite the gains in benchmark indices. Declining stocks outnumbered advancing stocks on the NSE.
| Market Indicator | Number |
|---|---|

Global Market Cues
Global markets remained sensitive to developments surrounding US-Iran relations, crude oil prices and technology-sector valuations.
US equity markets had experienced selling pressure in the previous session, particularly in technology stocks. Investors continued assessing the outlook for artificial intelligence-related spending and the impact of elevated valuations on global equities.
Asian markets remained mixed, with regional technology stocks facing pressure. Indian equities, however, received support from foreign institutional inflows and easing crude oil prices.
Brent crude declined around 1% to approximately $97 per barrel amid expectations that further escalation in West Asia could be avoided as diplomatic discussions continued.
Investors are also preparing for upcoming Indian and US inflation data, which could influence interest-rate expectations and global market sentiment.

FinBrooks Market View
Indian equity markets ended the session with modest gains, supported by strong buying in PSU banks and Pharma stocks. The Nifty 50 managed to hold above 25,000, while Bank Nifty outperformed with a 1.51% advance.
Institutional activity remained positive for foreign investors, with provisional NSE-exclusive cash-market figures showing FII net buying of ₹7,212.22 crore. DII selling of ₹7,172.53 crore almost offset the foreign inflow, leaving marginal combined net buying of ₹39.69 crore.
The negative market breadth suggests that the rally remains selective, with banking stocks providing most of the support. The Nifty’s next important test lies around 25,100, while Bank Nifty will be watched near the 60,000 resistance zone.
Markets will remain closed on 10 November for Diwali, giving investors an additional day to assess global developments before trading resumes on 11 November.
Overall, the market structure remains constructive, but selective participation, institutional flows, crude oil prices and upcoming inflation data will be important in determining the next directional move.
