CapitalKeeper Sunday Digest
Weekly Wrap: 17th November 2025 – 21st November 2025
The third week of November closed with renewed optimism, strong institutional flows, and broad-based participation across sectors. After weeks of cautious consolidation, the Indian equity market showcased resilience despite geopolitical uncertainty, rising U.S. Treasury yields, fluctuating crude prices, and a mixed global macro backdrop.
Nifty oscillated around the 26,000 psychological mark, Bank Nifty battled volatility from PSU banks, while mid-caps and small-caps continued their steady leadership supported by domestic liquidity, thematic sector rotation, and strong earnings confidence.
The market narrative shifted from fear to accumulation, particularly in manufacturing, defense, metals, renewables, capital goods, and digital infrastructure. Meanwhile, the Indian rupee stabilized amid a softer dollar index and improved FX inflows, and commodities especially gold and crude delivered event-driven swings.
Overall sentiment? Healthy, data-driven, structurally bullish—yet selective.

✅ Macro & Global Market Cues
Several global factors influenced market direction:
1️⃣ U.S. Federal Reserve Policy Tone
- Fed minutes hinted at a data-dependent stance
- Rate-cut expectations pushed to Q2 2026
- U.S. 10-year yield remained above 4.5%
2️⃣ Crude Oil Swings
- Middle-East tensions kept Brent between $88–$93
- But no supply shock—India cushioned for now
3️⃣ Dollar Index Weakness
- DXY slipped below 103
- Risk-on sentiment supported emerging markets
4️⃣ FIIs Returned Selectively
- Favoring manufacturing, industrials & financials
Global equity markets remained range-bound, but India’s relative strength continued to outperform peers.
✅ Mid & Small-cap Action — The Real Story
The spotlight stayed on mid and small caps due to:
✅ Strong volume confirmation

✅ Government-led infra push & manufacturing incentives
Leaders included:
- Capital goods
- Defense & aerospace
- Industrial automation

✅ Indian Rupee — Calm After Volatility
INR traded in a narrow ₹82.90–₹83.20 band vs USD.

Outlook: Stable with mild appreciation bias, unless crude spikes or U.S. yields reverse sharply.
