Below the Weekly market outlook 21st Nov 2025 by Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments Limited

"Bullish sentiment continued through the week, supported by stronger Q2 earnings, easing inflation, and optimism around India–US trade negotiations. A moderation in FII selling—driven by expectations of earnings upgrades in H2FY26—also aided the valuations. However, markets turned volatile on Friday amid weak global cues and rising concerns over potential delays in the India–US trade talks.

 A better-than-expected non-farm payroll scaled back expectations of a December FED rate cut, which impacted the global equities. The ripple effect seen in haven assets like gold witnessed selling pressure while INR declined to a new low. The oil prices declined due to the US's renewed push for a Russia-Ukraine peace proposal.

The market may witness some profit booking in the near term if the pressure on INR persists. In the week ahead, investors will also have a close vigil on trade developments and economic data like IIP and Q2FY26 GDP data to get the market direction."
