Key Market Cues To Watch On November 14

Here are the key global and domestic cues that are likely to influence investor sentiment on the D-Street on November 14:

Bihar Elections 2025 Results Today

Bihar Election 2025 results are set to be announced on November 14. A clear mandate for the ruling alliance would reinforce expectations of policy continuity, and keep investor sentiment broadly stable.

However, InCred Equities cautioned that any shock outcome that weakens the NDA could trigger a short-lived “coalition discount.” In that scenario, the brokerage firm said that Nifty 50 could potentially correct 5-7 per cent.

India-US Trade Talks

According to an ANI report, a senior administration official assured that India-US trade talks are progressing positively, citing “a lot of positive developments” in recent talks.

The official added that negotiators are hopeful of making progress “before the end of the year.”

Q2 Results Today

As the earnings season nears its end, as many as 1,254 companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) are set to report their quarterly results for the period ended September 30, 2025 (Q2FY26).

Among the major names reporting their Q2 earnings include Marico, MRF, Exide Industries, Siemens, and Morepen Laboratories.

Asian Stock Market

Asian stock market traded lower in early trade on November 14 as markets are pricing in a US Federal Reserve rate cut in December. Tech stocks also declined tracking Wall Street cues.

Japan's Nikkei 225 was down nearly 1.50 per cent, South Korea's Kospi plunged over 2.30 per cent, China's CSI 100 was down 0.82 per cent, and the Hong Kong-based Hang Seng was trading lower by 1.26 per cent.

US Stock Market

Overnight, Wall Street's main indices ended deep in the red, as Nvidia and other artificial intelligence (AI) heavyweights saw profit-booking. Investors also pulled back on hopes of early rate cuts amid renewed inflation concerns and mixed signals from US central bankers about the economy’s outlook.

The S&P 500 fell 1.66 per cent, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite tumbled 2.29 per cent, and the Dow Jones slipped 1.65 per cent.

Crude Oil Prices

Crude oil prices recovered for the second consecutive session after witnessing a near 4 per cent decline on November 12 on concerns over global oversupply and looming US sanctions on Russia's oil producer Lukoil.

January Brent Crude futures traded nearly 1.50 per cent higher at $63.94 per barrel. Similarly, December West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Crude Oil futures jumped 1.57 per cent to trade at $59.61 per barrel.
