Nifty closing 6 November: a big index day with a split market

The headline number and the wider market told two different stories on Friday. The Nifty closing 6 November figure was 25,030.35, a gain of +493.75 points after the index rose 2.01%. It finished at its high for the day, 25,030.35, having touched 24,388.05 earlier.

Underneath, more stocks fell than rose. Across the Nifty 500, 222 stocks ended higher and 270 ended lower. That gap says the rally was carried by a narrower group of heavyweights rather than by broad buying.
