Markets End Higher as Sensex, Nifty Hit Fresh Record Highs

November 27, 2025

New Delhi: Indian benchmark equity indices ended Thursday’s session marginally higher after scaling fresh record levels during intra-day trade. The Sensex settled at 85,720.38, gaining 110.87 points or 0.13 per cent, while the Nifty closed at 26,215.55, up 10.25 points or 0.04 per cent.

During the day, the Sensex touched a new all-time high of 86,055.86, while the Nifty climbed to a record 26,310.45.

Key Technical Levels in Focus

From a technical standpoint, analysts said 26,300 remains a crucial resistance level for the Nifty and serves as an immediate breakout trigger.

“A sustained close above this zone could pave the way for fresh all-time highs in the 26,350–26,450 range,” market experts noted.

On the downside, the 26,150–26,000 band continues to provide strong support, supported by steady put writing and positional buying, they added.

The Sensex, meanwhile, continues to form a higher-high and higher-low pattern on the daily chart.

“Immediate resistance is seen in the 86,000–86,500 range, while strong support lies between 85,500 and 85,200,” analysts said, adding that the overall bullish trend remains intact as long as these levels hold.

Broader Markets Mixed

In the broader market segment, the Nifty Midcap 100 edged up 0.08 per cent, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 slipped 0.53 per cent, indicating mild profit-booking in smaller stocks.

Top Gainers and Sectoral Performance

Among Sensex constituents, Bajaj Finance, ICICI Bank, Hindustan Unilever, Bajaj Finserv and HCL Tech emerged as top gainers. Stocks such as Maruti Suzuki, Ultratech Cement, SBI and Tata Steel also closed higher.

On the sectoral front, buying interest was visible in banking, financial services, media, IT, FMCG and chemicals, all of which ended the session in positive territory.

However, sectors including auto, energy, metals, oil and gas, realty and consumer durables faced selling pressure and closed lower.

Investors Watch Key Triggers Ahead

Market participants are now closely tracking upcoming macroeconomic and policy cues, particularly India’s GDP data, developments around the US-India deal and the upcoming RBI policy meeting.

Analysts said these factors are likely to play a decisive role in shaping the near-term direction of the equity markets.
