On 6 November 2025, India’s equity markets were set for a firm start as global cues turned positive: futures for the Nifty 50 indicated a rise of about 0.3%, following gains in Asia-Pacific and U.S. markets. Key domestic stocks—such as One97 Communications (Paytm) and Grasim Industries—were in focus ahead of quarterly results due later in the day. Traders cited the weekly expiry of derivatives and a favourable global environment as drivers of early optimism, though intraday volatility was expected.

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) infused around ₹35,598 crore into Indian equity, debt and hybrid segments in October 2025, marking the highest monthly inflow so far this year. Equity-only purchases stood at about ₹14,610 crore. Analysts attribute the turnaround to improved global sentiment toward India and value buying after earlier outflows. While encouraging, strategists caution that sustained inflows will depend on macro stability and policy clarity.
