The Indian stock market opens the trading week tomorrow between October 27 and 31, 2025, during a period of optimism amid caution. Traders look for a phase of consolidation with the interplay of both global and domestic cues before the stocks execute a firm upside trend.
Stock Market: No Market Holidays This Week
The next week has no planned trading holidays following the Diwali Muhurat session earlier this month i.e. last week. Both BSE and NSE will operate from Monday to Friday, with normal hours (9:15 AM – 3:30 PM). Investors are expected to watch carefully quarterly results, currency fluctuations, and major geopolitical news.
Stock Market: Market Sentiment and Technical Outlook
Domestically, experts anticipate range-bound action on benchmark indices. The Nifty 50, which closed the last week around 25,795, may find support at 25,500–25,700 and resistance between 26,100–26,500. Short-term corrections are imminent before a sustained upmove can resume.
Experts at Bajaj Broking comment that the dips towards support levels can be met with value-based buying, particularly in banking, FMCG, and power sectors, which are showing resilience against global headwinds.
Stock Market: Global and Geopolitical Factors
Markets are on their toes by global events, especially the U.S.–China summit and easing trade tensions which may influence risk sentiment across the world. The progressing India–US trade negotiations, as are said to be in advanced stages of finalisation, also have bettered IT and export-driven stocks’ outlooks.
Yet, volatility exists due to elevated crude oil prices, which increased almost 8% in the last week, increasing inflation fears and possible import cost pressures.
Stock Market: Effect of US Markets and Foreign Cues
U.S. markets closed last week in a mixed fashion, with investors waiting for the Federal Reserve’s rate guidance following indications of economic moderation. Decreasing U.S. bond yields might indirectly promote emerging market flows, such as India. The view is that a “soft Fed” tone would stabilise global equities and continue to boost FPI interest in Indian markets.
Stock Market: Factors of INR–USD Exchange and Currency Movements
The rupee was stronger last week, 0.2%, but still under scrutiny as the USD-INR quotes at 88.80–89.00 per dollar. Its analysts foresee even more volatility in light of U.S. trade tensions and limited intervention by the Reserve Bank of India and the rupee possibly reaching 90.00 per dollar by December if things aggravate globally.
Stock Market: Expert Opinions
Market experts such as Sunil Singhania and Nilesh Shah have a neutral to slightly bullish outlook for equities in Q4 2025 based on strong domestic demand and fiscal strength amid worldwide slowdown concerns. Technical analysts see a buy-on-dips theme for large-cap players, while cautioning against overvalued midcaps.
With the new week of trading, Indian stocks seem poised for a steady but selective upturn, weighing optimism from policy changes against caution in times of global uncertainty.
