The Week That Was @ 8:30 AM – Saturday, November 29th 2025
November 24th to November 28th 2025
The Good News: Nifty extended its winning streak for the third straight week!
The bullish sentiments pushed Nifty, Sensex, and Bank Nifty to fresh all-time highs.
The positive takeaway was that the breakout marks the end of a 14-month consolidation phase and signals the potential start of the next major leg of the rally.
Yipee…
Nifty (+0.52%, 26203)
Sensex (+0.56%, 85707)
Bank Nifty (+1.5%, 59753)
Strictly speaking, the fundamental, technical and sentimental stock market backdrop remains robust. The Biggest Positive Catalysts:
1) Positioning has begun ahead of the RBI’s final policy meeting of 2025 (Dec 3–5), where markets broadly expect a 25-bps rate cut, supported by repeated downside surprises in headline CPI inflation.
2) On the global front, expectations for a December US Fed rate cut have strengthened again. Futures positioning indicates traders now see a high probability of easing when the Fed meets on December 9–10—adding fuel to the risk-on sentiment.
Now, before we get into detail, here are new milestones clocked in the week gone by:
Nifty: 26,310.45
Sensex: 86,055.86
Bank Nifty: 59,897.50
Well, Nifty Auto Index too hit record highs driven by expectations of strong November wholesale figures.
Even the Nifty Auto Index joined the party, hitting fresh highs on expectations of robust November wholesale numbers.
Long Story Short: The bulls dominated the week — and now the key question is: Will the FPI comeback strongly?
With the macro backdrop turning firmly supportive, the mood on Dalal Street is upbeat — and the bulls now have their sights set on the next big psychological milestone: 27,000 on the Nifty.
Long live the bull.
