The Indian stock market is expected to witness a cautious and range-bound trading week from November 10 to 15, 2025, as investors brace for a slew of key domestic and global triggers.
The upcoming sessions will be guided by macroeconomic data, corporate earnings, IPO activity, and geopolitical cues that could influence the Sensex and Nifty 50 movement.
Stock Market Weekly Forecast From November 10 to 15, 2025
Indian equities ended the previous week on a volatile note, with indices closing lower after a sharp October rally. The Nifty 50 settled at 25,492, marking a weekly loss of 1.49%, while the Midcap index slipped 0.58% and the Smallcap index plunged 2.25%.
Profit booking and persistent foreign institutional investor (FII) outflows of around Rs 3,263 crore weighed on sentiment, although domestic institutional investors (DII) provided some cushion with inflows worth Rs 5,284 crore.
Rupee Weakens Against Dollar; Crude Prices Ease
The rupee weakened further to trade near Rs 88.67 per USD, reflecting the global strength of the dollar, while Brent crude prices slipped 0.71% to $63.94 per barrel amid weak demand and geopolitical concerns.
Top Triggers To Drive Stock Market Sentiment for the Week
1. Q2 Results FY26
The earnings season will remain a key focus, with prominent companies such as Bajaj Finance, ONGC, Bajaj Finserv, Biocon, Ashok Leyland, Asian Paints, Tata Steel, BPCL, Marico, and Oil India set to release their quarterly results. Sector-specific trends from these companies could provide fresh cues for market direction.
2. Inflation Data
Traders will keep a close watch on macroeconomic indicators as both CPI (Consumer Price Index) and WPI (Wholesale Price Index) data are scheduled for release this week. These figures will offer crucial insights into India’s inflation trajectory and could shape expectations around the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) future policy stance.
“This week will be crucial, with several key macroeconomic data releases scheduled. On the domestic front, focus will be on India’s CPI inflation and WPI inflation data, which will provide insights into the inflation trajectory and policy outlook,” said Ajit Mishra, SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd.
3. AI and Global Trade Developments
Investor sentiment may also be influenced by developments in AI-related stocks and ongoing India-U.S. trade discussions, which could affect tech and manufacturing sectors. According to Mishra, “Traders will also monitor the performance of AI-related stocks and developments around global trade deals, both of which are expected to influence market sentiment.”
4. IPO Activity
The primary market will remain active, with six new IPOs – four in the mainboard segment and two in the SME category – opening for subscription. Additionally, high-profile listings such as Groww IPO, Lenskart IPO, and Pine Labs IPO, along with four others, will be closely tracked for investor response.
5. Global Cues and FII Flows
Global market sentiment, particularly around the U.S. government shutdown developments and geopolitical tensions, could continue to sway investor mood. “Going ahead, market direction will depend on upcoming domestic inflation data, FII flows, developments related to the US government shutdown, and progress in trade negotiations involving the US, India, and China,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited.
Sensex, Nifty Prediction This Week; What Market Experts Expect
Market experts expect Sensex and Nifty to remain range-bound through the week as investors weigh mixed global cues against domestic optimism around corporate earnings and trade progress.
“Next week, we expect markets to remain range-bound tracking mixed global cues, while optimism around better than expected corporate earnings and any progress in India-U.S. trade talks could provide upside support,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.
Analysts suggest Nifty 50 could trade in a 25,300-25,800 range, while Sensex may find support around 83,900-84,100 and face resistance near 85,200 levels.
