Source for benchmark and listed sector figures: 6 November 2026 closing market table.

What drove the market?
Reuters reported that Indian stocks defied a global technology selloff and ended their strongest week in nearly six years: Nifty gained 8.6% for the week and Sensex 8.8%. Softer crude oil, a return of overseas buying and improved sentiment after US elections supported the rebound. Financial shares were major weekly leaders, while Reliance Industries benefited from upbeat quarterly results. On Friday, the cited closing data showed pharma (+1.21%) outperforming IT (+0.43%) among the selected sector indices above; these are not an exhaustive sector ranking. Reuters, 6 Nov.
Institutional flows: The latest separately corroborated cash-market figure is for Thursday, 5 November: FIIs net bought ₹14,974.68 crore and DIIs net sold ₹10,444.54 crore. These are not Friday’s flows. Cash-market flows and date. Friday’s final flows were not independently verified at publication.
GIFT Nifty — separate futures observation
6 November 2026, 11:09 AM IST: GIFT Nifty was quoted at 24,651.50 (+72.00 points, +0.29% against the provider’s prior 15:30 IST reference), according to JustTicks’ timestamped snapshot. This is an intraday GIFT Nifty futures observation, not the 3:30 PM NSE cash close and not a current 5:22 PM futures quote. A reliable timestamped post-close NSE IX futures quote was unavailable for independent verification. Futures movements do not guarantee the next Nifty opening direction.
