Stock market news, Nov. 16 -- The Indian stock market finished the day with slight gains on Friday. The trading started with negative sentiment due to a downturn in global markets and a selloff in US tech stocks, but it ended on a moderately positive note, buoyed by favorable expectations for the Bihar elections. The Nifty 50 wrapped up at 25,915.15, rising by 36 points (0.14%), while the Sensex closed at 84,630.96, gaining 152.29 points (0.18%) from the last trading day.

Experts suggest that market direction will be influenced by RBI's efforts to stabilize the Rupee, fluctuations in foreign institutional investor activity, the outcomes of the Bihar elections, global market trends, Rupee movements, and upcoming economic indicators.
