  "account": "Indian shares slipped on Monday as the market consolidated following last week’s rally driven by falling crude prices and optimism over foreign investments. The Nifty 50 and Sensex declined 0.2% each to 24,931.2 and 80,837.24, respectively, at 9:35 a.m. IST on Monday. The indexes had surged roughly 10.5% over seven sessions leading up to Friday, the longest winning streak of the year, backed by robust foreign inflows, decreasing oil prices, and the unwinding of a global trade dispute. Foreign investors have purchased Indian shares worth over $4.1 billion in November, marking their largest monthly inflows since September 2024.\n\nMarket analysts suggest that the new week will present a critical test of market momentum, with investors contemplating the potential for additional gains against the possibility of near-term profit-taking. Among the 16 major sectors, ten experienced declines, while the small and mid-cap markets contracted by 0.1% and 0.3%, respectively. Brent crude futures remained near $98 per barrel, following US President Donald Trump’s assertion that he is highly unlikely to authorize further strikes on Iran while negotiations to resolve the conflict continue.\n\nAsian markets experienced a volatile week, with tech-heavy markets in Asia among the steepest declines in years due to concerns about demand for computer chips. Divi’s Laboratories, a pharmaceutical company, rose 4.6%, extending a 7.5% jump during a special Diwali trading session on Sunday, following the firm’s announcement of a 64% year-on-year increase in quarterly profits. This performance bolstered the pharmaceutical sector index by 1.6%. However, technology stocks suffered a 1.3% drop, while heavyweights in the financial sector gained 0.5%.",
