Equity markets maintained their upward trajectory through the week, with the Nifty 50 advancing 1.57% amid sustained optimism and positive global cues. Investor sentiment remained buoyant as market participants positioned themselves ahead of the Q2FY26 earnings season, which is expected to provide further clarity on corporate profitability and growth momentum.
Sectorally, Nifty IT outperformed the broader indices, surging 4.89% during the week, supported by renewed investor interest in technology majors and expectations of stable deal pipelines. On the other hand, FMCG stocks witnessed mild profit-taking after their recent rally, ending the week marginally lower by 0.37%. Broader market indices also showed resilience, indicating sustained buying interest across select mid and small-cap counters.
In the commodities space, precious metals continued to shine, with gold extending its winning streak for the eighth consecutive week, rising over 2% amid festive demand and global uncertainty. Silver followed a similar trajectory, gaining 2% and marking its eighth straight week of gains. The consistent rally in bullion underscores investor preference for safe-haven assets.
Overall, markets continue to exhibit strength, though the upcoming earnings season will likely determine the next directional move for equities in the near term.
