In line with the market estimates, investors remained cautiously optimistic, exercising caution in specific sectors and stocks during the Muhurat trading sessions.

Sectors like Pharma, Healthcare, Media were among others which emerged as top gainers during the trading session.

Friday’s provisional FII inflow data showed that foreign investors purchased ₹13,749.82 crore worth of capital market assets in a single day on Nov 6, while domestic investors remained booking profits in the market.

After an already six-day streak as of Friday, investors questioned the sustainability of continued FII flows into Indian equities.

So far, FIIs have invested ₹38,971 crore in the Indian equity market since the beginning of November 2026, reversing their 2-month selling streak, as the global AI trade reversal steered global investors away from tech and AI stocks in developed markets, according to NSDL data.

Despite the NIFTY50 failing to sustain the 25,000 levels, the data showed that the index has delivered 8.3% returns to investors in the last five trading sessions.
