Indian Market Weekly Update: Nifty 50 Soars, Defense Sector Shines, and Key Share Prices Rally!

Market Performance: A Strong Rebound

The Indian equity market experienced a robust recovery this week, with the Nifty 50 share price climbing 4.21%, supported by the de-escalation of India-Pakistan tensions. This rally was significantly fueled by a sharp rise in defense stocks, leading the Nifty Defence Index to gain an impressive 17.21%.

Meanwhile, commodity markets saw a decline:

• Gold share price dropped over 3%
• Silver share price declined more than 1.5%

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net buyers, supporting the market’s bullish tone. This influx of capital is helping lay the foundation for a potential extended upward trend in the Indian share market.
