🇮🇳 Indian Stock Market Closing Bell – 04 November 2025 | Nifty Ends Below 25,600, Sensex Drops Over 500 Points
The Indian stock market closed in the red on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, as global weakness and investor profit booking weighed on sentiment. Despite a positive start in early trade, benchmark indices slipped into negative territory by mid-session and failed to recover, as weakness across IT, FMCG, and banking counters dragged the market lower.
Broader indices also ended subdued, with small- and mid-cap stocks witnessing mild selling pressure amid cautious investor mood.
📊 Market Recap: Indices at a Glance
| Index | Open | Close | Change | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nifty 50 | 25,774.75 | 25,597.65 | -177.10 | -0.69% |
| Sensex | 84,000.64 | 83,459.15 | -541.49 | -0.64% |
| Bank Nifty | 57,966.65 | 57,827.05 | -139.60 | -0.24% |
| Fin Nifty | 27,230.40 | 27,195.80 | -34.60 | -0.13% |
The market breadth turned negative, with around 1,200 stocks advancing against 2,400 declining on the NSE. Sectoral indices like Nifty IT, Nifty FMCG, and Nifty Metal faced the most pressure, while auto and energy counters provided minor support.
🌎 Global Market Overview
Global cues were largely weak, influencing Indian sentiment:
- U.S. Markets: Overnight, the Dow Jones and Nasdaq futures traded mixed as investors braced for key macro data releases and upcoming Federal Reserve commentary.
- Asian Markets: Markets in Japan, China, and Hong Kong remained subdued amid concerns over slowing growth and muted tech demand.
- European Markets: Early trading showed a mild uptick, though energy sector volatility persisted.
- Crude Oil: Prices slipped near $79.40 per barrel, offering temporary relief to inflation-sensitive economies like India.
- Currency & Bond Yields: The Dollar Index remained firm above 106, and the US 10-year Treasury yield hovered near 4.6%, reflecting cautious risk sentiment.
📈 Nifty 50: Profit Booking Dominates
The Nifty 50 opened on a slightly positive note at 25,774.75, attempting to reclaim its previous day’s high. However, lack of buying momentum and global uncertainty triggered selling pressure around mid-session. The index hit an intraday low near 25,570, before finally closing at 25,597.65, down 177 points.
Technical Overview:
- Support Zone: 25,520 – 25,400
- Resistance Zone: 25,800 – 25,900
- Trend: Cautiously bearish with near-term volatility
Nifty formed a bearish candle on the daily chart, signaling fatigue after recent gains. A sustained close below 25,500 could invite further downside toward 25,300, while a move above 25,800 would revive bullish sentiment.
🏦 Bank Nifty: Rangebound Trade Continues
The Bank Nifty continued its narrow consolidation, opening at 57,966.65 and closing slightly lower at 57,827.05, down just 0.24%. The index remained supported by PSU banks, while private lenders faced mild selling.
Key Levels:
- Support: 57,600 – 57,200
- Resistance: 58,300 – 58,600
Top Performers:
- SBI and Bank of Baroda held firm after news regarding potential FDI reforms allowing up to 49% in PSU banks, a sentimentally positive development for the sector.
- However, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank saw minor profit booking after last week’s recovery.
💹 Sensex & Fin Nifty Overview
The Sensex fell by over 540 points, closing at 83,459.15, tracking global weakness and broad-based sectoral selling. Heavyweights like Infosys, TCS, HDFC Bank, and ITC contributed significantly to the fall.
The Fin Nifty, which tracks the broader financial space, also slipped modestly, closing at 27,195.80. Insurance and NBFC counters remained steady, with HDFC Life and Bajaj Finserv showing resilience.

🧭 Market Commentary
According to CapitalKeeper Research, “Indian equities mirrored global sentiment as markets consolidated after a sharp rebound last week. Traders are cautious ahead of U.S. economic data and domestic inflation numbers. While profit booking is visible, the broader trend remains constructive above the 25,400 level on Nifty.”
Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) were net buyers, while foreign institutional investors (FIIs) trimmed positions, reflecting cautious positioning before the weekend.
🌐 Global & Domestic Triggers to Watch Ahead
- U.S. Non-Farm Payroll Data – Expected to impact global risk appetite.
- India’s Q2 Corporate Earnings – Focus on banking, auto, and FMCG sectors.
- Rupee Movement – Stability below ₹84 per USD supports market sentiment.
- Crude Oil Prices – Fluctuation near $79-$80 to determine inflation trend.
- FIIs Flow Data – Continued selling pressure could cap short-term rallies.
💡 Technical Outlook for 05 November 2025
Nifty’s close below 25,600 hints at a short-term pause in the rally. However, traders should watch for stability near 25,500, a critical support area. A rebound above 25,850 could trigger fresh buying momentum.
Key Strategy for Traders:
- Avoid aggressive longs until Nifty reclaims 25,850.
- Focus on stock-specific opportunities in auto, energy, and PSU banking.
- Keep strict stop-loss near key support levels.
🧩 Conclusion
The Indian Stock Market ended lower on November 4, 2025, dragged by weak global cues and profit booking across key sectors. However, the underlying fundamentals remain stable, with selective sectors like autos, PSU banks, and power showing resilience.
Market participants are likely to remain cautious ahead of global data, but dips could attract long-term investors as valuations continue to remain attractive in key large-cap names.
🔖 Key Takeaway
Nifty slips below 25,600 amid global weakness; PSU banks stay resilient as festive demand supports select sectors.
