The Indian stock markets remained closed on November 1, 2025, for a scheduled trading holiday, giving investors a short-term pause after an eventful October. Market participants are now focusing on the Reserve Bank of India’s upcoming monetary policy meeting expected to steer sentiment when trade resumes. Analysts anticipate narrow-range action initially, with activity likely subdued until policy clarity emerges. Broader investor positioning remains cautiously optimistic given resilient domestic flows and favorable liquidity conditions despite continuing external macro uncertainties influencing foreign investor sentiment.
