Mumbai, November 12, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Benchmark equity indices ended marginally higher after a volatile trading session on Thursday, supported by gains in realty, banking and financial stocks. However, losses in auto shares capped the market’s upside.
The Sensex rose 31.61 points, or 0.04 per cent, to close at 81,911.01, while the Nifty gained 44.30 points, or 0.18 per cent, to settle at 25,299.35.
In the broader market, mid- and small-cap stocks outperformed the frontline indices. The Nifty MidCap 100 advanced 0.85 per cent, while the Nifty SmallCap 100 climbed 1.12 per cent, indicating sustained buying interest beyond large-cap stocks.
Among sectoral indices, Nifty Realty emerged as the top performer, surging 4 per cent. Nifty PSU Bank, Nifty Media and Nifty Bank also recorded gains. In contrast, Nifty Auto was the worst-performing sector, limiting the overall market advance.
Within the Nifty pack, Mahindra & Mahindra, Nestle India and Power Grid Corporation were among the major laggards, ending lower amid sector-specific selling pressure.
On the technical outlook, market experts said the Nifty had been consolidating within a narrow range over the past two to three trading sessions while retaining a bullish undertone. However, with the index in the overbought zone, a mild correction from current levels could not be ruled out.
Analysts identified 25,000 as immediate support, followed by a crucial support level at 24,800. On the upside, resistance was placed at 25,500, with the index expected to trade within the 25,000–25,500 range.
Experts maintained that the broader market bias remained positive and advised index traders to follow a buy-on-dips approach.
