TLDR
Market Recap: November 20, 2025
On November 20, Indian equities extended gains, with large caps doing the heavy lifting while the broader market cooled off. Sensex closed at 85,632.68 (+446 pts, +0.52 percent) and Nifty 50 at 26,192.15 (+139 pts, +0.54 percent), both hovering just below fresh record highs.

Key Drivers :
Global AI cheer: Nvidia’s strong print and guidance calmed near-term AI bubble fears, lifting risk appetite across global tech and EM equities.
Flows and leadership: Continued net buying from both FIIs and DIIs supported banks, large-cap financials, and select heavyweights, even as mid and smallcaps lagged.
Upbeat street targets: HSBC’s Sensex goal of 94,000 by the end of 2026 underlined the medium-term “India overweight” trade and helped sustain optimism on dips.
