Largecaps Sail Smooth Amidst a Mid-Small Cap Storm

This week’s market landscape witnessed significant volatility with notable announcements and shifts in market sentiments. The week commenced with Tata Motor’s demerger announcement, capturing investor’s attention as the Nifty Auto index hit an all-time high for the sixth consecutive week!

However, it’s not all smooth sailing. The RBI’s crackdown on JM Financial sent ripples through the market, affecting recently listed mainboard and SME stocks, given the company’s pivotal role in IPO-related funding. NBFCs felt the heat too, with share prices taking a hit midweek.

Despite the ups and downs, the Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty closed the week positively, while the Nifty SmallCap 100 and Nifty Midcap 100 indices ended the week on a negative note. This trend suggests a gradual tilt towards large-caps outperforming mid-small cap companies in the coming period.

Nifty ended the week 0.51% higher at 22,494. Nifty PSU Bank and Nifty PSE surged the most during the week with a gain of 3.10% and 2.33% respectively.
