By CapitalKeeper | Weekly Wrap-Up | Indian Equities | Market Moves That Matter
A complete weekly wrap-up of the Indian stock market, INR movement, Bank Nifty strength, global cues, commodity trends, and sector analysis for the week of 3–7 November 2025. Includes outlook for the upcoming week with data-driven insights.
✅ Weekly Wrap-Up: Indian Stock Market, INR & Commodity Overview (03–07 November 2025)
The first week of November 2025 opened on a mixed note for the Indian markets as traders returned after the previous month’s consolidation phase. Nifty struggled to maintain buying momentum, Bank Nifty showed surprising resilience, the rupee stayed largely range-bound, and commodities presented a scattered pattern shaped by Middle East supply updates and U.S. macro data.
With the U.S. Federal Reserve preparing for fresh commentary and the global risk tone gradually improving, Indian equities navigated through global uncertainty with cautious optimism.
Below is the detailed weekly recap of how the market moved from Monday, 03 November 2025 to Friday, 07 November 2025.
✅ Market Opening (03 November 2025)
- Nifty: 25,696.85
- Bank Nifty: 57,726.85
- Sensex: 83,835.10
- Fin Nifty: 27,093.45
The week started on a neutral-to-positive setup. Overnight, global markets were mildly supportive as U.S. index futures held steady and crude oil corrected from recent highs. Asian peers were largely muted, but the mood was not negative. Nifty opened slightly higher but lacked a clear directional push from participants.
Bank Nifty, however, entered the week with continued institutional flows on expectations that credit growth data for October could show improvement. Additionally, several banks posted better-than-expected quarterly results, reinforcing the strength in the sector.
✅ Weekly Close (07 November 2025)
- Nifty: 25,492.30
- Bank Nifty: 57,876.80
- Sensex: 83,938.71
- Fin Nifty: 27,138.85
By Friday, indices settled into a narrow range with mild negativity in Nifty but resilience across banking and broader financial space. Nifty slipped below the psychological 25,500 mark, primarily due to weakness in IT, pharma, FMCG, and selective metal stocks.
Bank Nifty stood out as the strongest index of the week, finishing above its weekly open and comfortably above 57,800. Financials cushioned the broader market from deeper cuts.
Sensex remained stable, supported by heavyweight banking components, while Fin Nifty closed marginally higher despite mild profit-booking in insurance and NBFC stocks.
✅ How the Week Played Out: Full Breakdown
✅ 1. Nifty: Failed to Hold Highs as Sellers Dominated Around Resistance Zones
Nifty spent most of the week struggling to hold above the 25,600–25,700 zone. Markets witnessed frequent intraday reversals, indicating indecision and lack of fresh catalysts.
Key Observations:
- Sellers were active near 25,650/25,700 zones.
- Heavyweights like Reliance, TCS, HCL Tech, Sun Pharma, and select midcaps were under pressure.
- Broader markets remained mixed with profit-booking in midcaps.
Nifty Weekly Range:
High: 25,690
Low: 25,430
Net Change: Nearly 200 points down from Monday’s open.
Despite the decline, no major breakdown was observed, suggesting the market is preparing for fresh cues that may arrive in the next week.
✅ 2. Bank Nifty: Strongest Performer of the Week
Bank Nifty continued to lead the market upward. A stable interest rate environment, strong Q2 numbers, and sustained FII participation in financials kept the index buoyant.
What worked for Bank Nifty?
- ICICI Bank, Kotak Bank, SBI, and Axis Bank showed steady accumulation.
- PSU banks continued to shine as credit demand improved in retail and MSME segments.
- FIIs turned net buyers in financials, especially private lenders.
Weekly Overview:
- Started at 57,726.85, closed at 57,876.80
- Gained nearly 150 points on a weekly basis
- Consolidation with upward bias remains intact
Bank Nifty has been forming a higher-low structure for several weeks, indicating strong underlying sentiment.
✅ 3. Sensex: Stable and Defended Key Levels
Sensex movement mirrored the behavior of large-cap heavyweights. Despite mild selling pressure in IT and FMCG, stability in banking, auto, and energy kept the index steady.
- Open: 83,835.10
- Close: 83,938.71
This indicates a very mild positive bias, confirming that frontline stocks are not witnessing aggressive selling.
✅ 4. Fin Nifty: Held Steady Despite Volatility
Fin Nifty maintained a positive orientation through the week:
- Open: 27,093.45
- Close: 27,138.85
The index gained slightly, but the movement remained choppy due to volatility in insurance and NBFC space. However, BFSI remains the strongest sector of the month so far.
✅ 5. INR Movement: Rupee Remained Range-Bound
The Indian Rupee remained steady throughout the week, trading mostly between 83.13–83.26 per USD.
Key Factors Influencing INR:
- Stable crude oil prices added relief.
- Dollar Index softened slightly amid expectations of delayed U.S. policy changes.
- FPI flows were mildly positive in financials but negative in IT and consumer segments.
No sharp rupee volatility was seen, which helped maintain market stability.
✅ 6. Commodity Market Weekly Summary
✅ Crude Oil
Crude dipped slightly as Middle Eastern supply disruptions eased and US inventory data showed higher stockpiles.
- Brent hovered around $83–85, down slightly for the week.
- This decline helped Indian markets avoid heavy corrections.

Gold prices moved in a narrow band as traders awaited U.S. job market data and possible Federal Reserve projections.
- Domestic gold traded between ₹63,900–₹64,700 per 10g.
- No major breakout was observed.
✅ Silver
Silver witnessed mild volatility but stayed range-bound, mirroring the global precious metal movement.

Watch for momentum in:
- HDFC Bank
- SBI
- Maruti

✅ Conclusion
The Indian market ended the week of 3–7 November 2025 on a mixed but stable note. Despite Nifty closing lower, the underlying sentiment remains cautiously optimistic thanks to the strong performance of the banking sector, stable rupee, and favorable global cues.
The upcoming week is expected to carry forward this consolidation with opportunities for selective buying. Financials may continue to lead, while broader markets could see sector rotation.
If global markets remain stable and crude stays soft, November could shape into a positive month for Indian equities.
