Indian Stock Markets Extend Losses for Third Consecutive Day
India's equity markets remained under selling pressure on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, marking the third straight session of declines for major indices. The benchmark Nifty 50 dropped 0.37% to close at 25,865, while the S&P BSE Sensex fell 0.38% to settle at 84,575. The persistent bearish trend has pushed both indices below crucial psychological levels amid continued foreign institutional investor selling.
Session Analysis: Second Half Sell-Off Dominates
The trading session witnessed a distinct pattern where markets remained range-bound during the first half but experienced significant selling pressure in the latter part of the day. Heavy selling in the final hour of trading, mirroring Monday's pattern, accelerated the decline and pulled both indices below key support levels. This consistent late-session selling suggests ongoing caution among investors despite recent attempts to approach record highs.
Broader Market Shows Resilience Amid Main Index Weakness
While frontline indices struggled, the broader market displayed signs of recovery. The Nifty Midcap 100 index gained 0.35%, and the Nifty Smallcap 100 index rose 0.21%, indicating selective buying interest in mid and small-cap stocks. This divergence between main indices and broader markets highlights the nuanced nature of the current market correction.
Among the notable losers were Swiggy, Premier Energies, Blue Star, Siemens Energy, and SJVN, which featured prominently in the day's worst-performing stocks. The continued selling by overseas investors has been identified as a primary factor weighing on market sentiment, particularly affecting large-cap stocks that had previously shown strength.
The three-day losing streak represents the longest consecutive decline in recent weeks and comes despite the indices trading close to their all-time highs earlier this month. Market analysts attribute the pullback to profit-booking after the recent rally and concerns about global economic conditions affecting foreign fund flows into Indian markets.
