Indian equity markets ended the week on a mixed note, with benchmark indices showing mild gains amid earnings-driven volatility and selective sector rotation. The Nifty 50 and Sensex inched higher, but the broader trend signalled consolidation. Metals (+2.71%), Small caps (+1.75%), and Capital Goods (+0.91%) led market strength, indicating a shift toward cyclical sectors. Meanwhile, PSU Banks (-0.84%), IT (-0.31%), and Pharma (-0.29%) witnessed profit booking as investors reduced exposure to recent outperformers.
In the commodities market, precious metals dominated the headlines.
Gold reached an all-time high of approximately ?1.39 lakh per 10g this week, driven by safe-haven demand, central bank buying, and expectations of global rate cuts. Silver also surged to ?2.35 lakh per kg, briefly touching lifetime levels. Despite intraday swings, sentiment remains bullish as macro conditions continue to support bullion.
On the policy front, the RBI maintained liquidity support, injecting nearly ?2,00,000 crore via OMO operations to manage money market stability without compromising on inflation control. The move reinforces a balanced “Goldilocks” stance, neither tight nor overly loose, helping banking system liquidity and short-term credit flow.
Overall, markets remain selectively strong, with cyclicals outperforming as heavyweights consolidate.
