Indian equities ended the week on a mixed note with clear sectoral divergence. PSU Banks (+4.8%) and Metals (+4.6%) led the rally, reflecting renewed interest in value and global cyclical plays. IT (+2.8%) also posted a strong recovery, supported by currency tailwinds and selective bargain buying. Bank Nifty outperformed the broader market, reinforcing financials as the near-term leadership space. In contrast, defensives and interest-sensitive pockets saw profit-taking—FMCG, Infra, Auto, Pharma, Realty and Capital Goods remained under pressure. Benchmark indices were largely flat, with Nifty 50 and Sensex closing marginally unchanged, indicating a market in consolidation rather than trend reversal.
Commodities delivered a standout performance. Gold gained over 2% during the week, supported by safe-haven demand. Silver outshone all assets, surging more than 13% internationally to cross $90/oz, while on MCX it breached ?2,90,000/kg, highlighting strong industrial demand and speculative momentum. The sharp rally signals a structural shift in precious metals, driven by energy transition themes, supply constraints and rising global uncertainty.
The US Dollar strengthened during the week, with the rupee weakening toward ?91 per dollar. Rupee depreciation may support export-oriented sectors like IT and metals, while increasing pressure on import-heavy segments. Currency movement will remain a key near-term driver for Indian markets.
