Nifty Outlook for November 13: Can earnings strength and FII buying propel index towards 26,000?

Résumé détaillé

Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities believes the current consolidation or a minor corrective move could conclude soon, potentially providing a buying opportunity for short-term investors.

After witnessing heightened volatility near its recent highs on Wednesday, the Nifty continued to consolidate on Thursday, maintaining a positive bias amid stock-specific buying and selling pressure.
