Stock market today:The domestic benchmark indices, ended higher on Wednesday, supported by easing crude oil prices and growing expectations of foreign fund inflows amid concerns over heavy artificial intelligence (AI) investments globally.
The Nifty 50 advanced 0.84% to close at 25,255.05, while the Sensex rose 0.95% to 81,879.4. Both indices settled at their highest levels since 26 February and have gained nearly 10% so far in November, outperforming their emerging-market peers.
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have pumped nearly $6 billion (approximately ₹53,700 crore) into Indian equities so far in November, marking their biggest monthly buying spree since September 2024. The turnaround follows two years of net outflows, as India emerges as an alternative investment destination amid growing investor concerns over elevated AI spending in global markets.

Market Views – Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst of HDFC Securities
After couple of sessions of consolidation, the Nifty 50 witnessed spectacular comeback on Wednesday and registered the swing high of 25,424 but could not sustain the highs amidst volatility.
A small red candle was formed on the daily chart with upper and lower shadow and with gap-up opening. The opening upside gap has almost been filled-left by small margin. Technically, this market action indicates continuation of upside momentum with high volatility near the crucial overhead resistance.
The market action of Wednesday signals presence of strong overhead resistance around 25,400-25,500 levels. Some more consolidation or minor selloff could be seen from the higher levels in the short term. Renewed upside could occur only above the hurdle of 25,500 levels
and that could pull Nifty 50 towards 26,000 in the near term. Any weakness from here could find support around 24,800-24,700 levels.
