Institutional Flows:
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) sold shares worth Rs 55.58 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) were net buyers to the tune of Rs 2,492.12 crore in the Indian equity market on 27 October 2025, provisional data showed.

Global Markets:
Asian markets declined broadly on Tuesday as investors turned cautious ahead of an anticipated meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Japan’s newly appointed Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
Trump, who arrived in Tokyo on Monday, also met Emperor Naruhito, becoming the first foreign leader to hold talks with Takaichi since she assumed office.
In South Korea, economic data surprised to the upside. Preliminary estimates from the Bank of Korea showed third-quarter GDP grew 1.7% year-on-year, exceeding widely reported market expectations of 1.5% and marking the fastest pace in over a year, following 0.6% growth in the previous quarter.
The expansion was driven mainly by robust exports and manufacturing output, which rose 6% and 3.3% respectively.
Overnight, Wall Street closed sharply higher, with the S&P 500 up 1.23% to 6,875.16 — its first close above the 6,800 mark.
The Nasdaq Composite gained 1.86% to 23,637.46, led by chipmakers such as Nvidia, while the Dow Jones rose 0.71% to 47,544.59.
Investors now await Big Tech earnings, the Federal Reserve’s policy decision, and developments in U.S.–China trade talks.
Domestic Market:
Domestic equities ended sharply higher on Monday as upbeat quarterly earnings and global cues lifted investor sentiment. The rally was broad-based, with energy, PSU banks and metal stocks leading the charge.
Gains were driven by renewed optimism over progress in U.S.-China trade negotiations, while soft U.S. inflation data strengthened expectations of additional Federal Reserve rate cuts later this year. These factors, combined with a firm rupee and renewed foreign fund inflows, kept risk appetite strong.
Market participants also drew comfort from a robust start to India’s festive season demand and better-than-expected earnings from several blue-chip companies.
The S&P BSE Sensex advanced 566.96 points or 0.67% to 84,788.84. The Nifty 50 index added 170.90 points or 0.66% to 25,966.05.
