The Indian stock market continued its downward trajectory for the sixth straight session on November 14, though selling pressure showed signs of easing. Support from heavyweight stocks like Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank helped prevent steeper declines.
The current market scenario suggests caution, with technical indicators pointing towards continued volatility. However, reduced selling pressure and support from heavyweight stocks indicate potential stabilization. Investors should maintain a balanced approach while closely monitoring global cues and domestic economic indicators.
