Nifty: Will November 2026 bring more returns or disappoint? What does history suggest? What 25 yrs of market data reveal

What happened: Indian equities enter November 2026 after prolonged weakness, with analysts citing historical Nifty 50 seasonal strength in November and December. Key numbers: Nifty 50 average November and December returns of 2.5% and 2.6% from 2001 to 2025. Why it matters: Analysts say seasonal trends could favour a rebound, but a sustained recovery depends on improved corporate earnings, stabilisation in global cues and revived foreign investor participation, with FPI outflows, elevated crude prices and rupee depreciation still weighing on sentiment.
