TLDR
Market Recap: November 14, 2025
On November 14, the Indian equity market closed moderately higher, with benchmark indices recovering late in the session to close with modest gains, as improved domestic political clarity offset global headwinds.

Key Drivers :
Policymacro: Late-session buying picked up after early weakness, as results from the 2025 Bihar Assembly Election suggested a strong mandate for the ruling coalition, reducing political uncertainty.
Institutional flows: Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained net sellers for multiple sessions, but domestic institutional buying helped mitigate the outflows.
Global cues: U.S. rate cut hopes receded amid hawkish commentary from the Federal Reserve, pressuring IT stocks and limiting upside.
