FAQs

1. Why did the Indian stock market fall today?

The market declined on the back of broad-based selling in IT, banking, and midcap stocks. Weak global cues, along with relentless FII outflows, and profit-bookings post recent highs pulled the indices lower, reflecting caution by investors.

2. What were the worst-performing sectors today?

IT led the decline, down nearly 1%, followed by banking and small-cap indices. Weak earnings outlook, global tech softness, and selling in large IT companies dragged the indices lower.

3. Did foreign investors continue selling Indian equities?

Yes. Foreign Institutional Investors sold around Rs. 1,883.78 crore worth of shares on November 3, 2025, marking yet another session of heavy outflows as they booked profits and reallocated capital amid global uncertainty.

4. Which stocks fared well in the stock market today?

Yes, both Titan and Bharti Airtel were among the top gainers on the Nifty 50 Index, each surging more than 2%. Titan's strong quarterly results and the high trading activity of Airtel boosted their share prices.
