The Nifty 50 closed at 25,144.30 on Friday, 13 November 2026, down 155.05 points or 0.61% on the day, according to NSE index data. Over the week it still gained 0.46% from its 6 November close of 25,030.35. Over 30 days the index is up 10.66%, from 22,622.70 on 14 October.
Banks led, IT dragged
The week belonged to lenders. Nifty PSU Bank climbed 7.50% to 9,258.60, its biggest weekly move among the main sector indices, and Bank Nifty rose 3.30% to 61,034.10, close to its 52-week high of 61,764.85. Nifty IT went the other way, falling 3.17% to 31,931.15.
Broader markets outran the benchmark. The Nifty Smallcap 100 gained 3.59% and the Nifty Midcap 100 2.12% over the week. Nifty Realty rose 2.74% and Nifty Pharma 2.13%, while Nifty FMCG and Nifty Metal were roughly flat.
Why it matters
The week was a rotation, not a broad lift-off. The Nifty barely moved, but money moved into banks and smaller companies and out of IT. Volatility also eased: India VIX fell 9.67% over the week to 15.78.
The rotation came in a week when retail inflation rose to 6.09% in October, above the RBI’s 6% upper limit, which keeps the December policy meeting in focus for rate-sensitive stocks. For the previous session’s move, see our 12 November market close.
