Indian Equities Weaken Amid Global Headwinds

Indian equities closed weaker this week, with the Nifty down 1.78% at 24,426.85 and the Bank nifty slipping 2.71% to 53,655.65, as global uncertainties pulled markets lower. Selling pressure was broad-based, Especially Realty, Banking Sector witnessing notable declines, while FMCG and select defensives provided relative support. Market sentiment was further dampened by the rupee’s fall to a record low of 88.30 against the US dollar and sustained foreign institutional selling. Global cues, including fresh US tariff announcements, concerns around inflation, and dollar strength, added to volatility and risk aversion.

In commodities, gold gained nearly 2% during the week ended August 29, 2025, while silver also advanced by about 1%. Oil prices remained choppy as demand concerns in key importing nations and fluctuating supply dynamics kept investors cautious. Going forward, global demand-supply factors, central bank cues, and currency movements are likely to steer commodity market trends.
