Wed Nov 26, 202526 NOVEMBER 

       Indian equities are mildly weak at index level, with Nifty 50 slipping about 0.3% in the last session, even as select metals, PSU banks and financials outperformed.[1][2] FIIs were small net buyers while DIIs were strong net buyers in cash, and Nifty futures open interest dropped sharply, indicating position lightening ahead of expiry.[3][4]

## Market overview  

In the latest completed session (25 Nov 2025), Nifty 50 closed near 25,885, down about 0.3%, showing mild profit‑booking rather than a sharp risk‑off move.[1] Price action is thus slightly negative at the index level, but leadership within the market has rotated into cyclical and financial names.  

Breadth has been supported by strength in select large caps, with several Nifty 50 constituents posting gains even on a slightly down index day.[1][2] This mix typically reflects sector rotation rather than broad panic selling.  

## FII and DII activity  

On 25 Nov, FIIs in cash were modest net buyers of roughly ₹780 crore, indicating cautious accumulation after mixed flows earlier in the month.[3] DIIs, however, were strong net buyers of around ₹3,900 crore, continuing their pattern of consistently supporting the market on dips.[3]

For November month‑to‑date, FIIs remain net sellers overall by more than ₹17,000 crore, while DIIs are sizeable net buyers above ₹62,000 crore, showing domestic institutions are the dominant stabilising force right now.[3] This FII‑sell / DII‑buy regime often leads to choppy price action but less severe drawdowns, as local money buys FII‑led declines.  

## Index open interest cues  

Nifty November futures are trading just above the spot with a tiny premium, but open interest in the front‑month contract has fallen by nearly 29%, signalling heavy unwinding of positions ahead of expiry.[4] Such a sharp OI drop with only mild price decline generally suggests traders are reducing exposure rather than aggressively building fresh shorts.  

Options data show maximum call OI around 25,900 and maximum put OI near 25,850 for the near expiry, creating a tight range that can act as immediate resistance and support, respectively.[4] For intraday index trading, this band becomes an important zone to watch for breakouts or reversals.  

## Top performing stocks  

Among Nifty 50 names, recent top gainers include Hindalco, Bharat Electronics, State Bank of India, Shriram Finance, Dr Reddy’s Labs, SBI Life, HDFC Life and Tata Steel, with moves roughly in the 1–2% range.[2] This shows leadership from metals, PSU banks, NBFCs and insurers, which is typical of a risk‑on or cyclical tilt even when the headline index is flat to slightly negative.  

NSE’s broader top‑gainers list also highlights select power, auto‑ancillary and FMCG names showing strength, pointing to stock‑specific opportunities rather than an across‑the‑board rally.[1][5] For your F&O trading, this environment favours stock‑specific longs in strong names and cautious index trades around the 25,850–25,900 zone until fresh OI builds on either side.[4][2]
