Indian markets likely flat at open as investors await US economic cues
On 18 November 2025, Indian equity markets are expected to open largely unchanged after six straight sessions of gains. With the Nifty 50 and Sensex each having risen around 2% over the past six sessions, market participants are now awaiting key U.S. economic data which may influence the Federal Reserve’s rate path. Domestic factors remain supportive  solid earnings, steady inflows yet fading hopes of a Fed cut and weak global markets temper optimism. 
One broker noted the domestic index is about 1% below its September 2024 record high.
