Broker sentiment turns selective as foreign outflows pressure mid-cap indices
On 17 November 2025, Indian equities showed mixed sentiment as foreign institutional investors continued selective selling in mid-cap and thematic baskets. Index-heavy large-caps in banking and capital goods supported overall stability, but several mid-cap stocks saw increased volatility after two sessions of elevated derivatives activity. Brokerage research notes pointed to weaker global risk appetite, rupee softness, and rising U.S. yields as factors influencing intraday flows. 
Analysts added that volume concentration in defensives particularly FMCG and utilities signals investors are recalibrating portfolios ahead of key macro data expected later this week.
