After a weak closing in the previous week, Indian equities staged a sharp rebound with Nifty gaining 1.39% during the week. Interestingly, the index opened at its weekly low, setting the tone for a positive momentum that was largely driven by the GST rate rationalisation announced by the Finance Minister. The reforms included a reduction in rates on several daily consumption items and a complete waiver of GST on insurance premiums, boosting investor sentiment.
On the global front, the India-China-Russia trilateral meet at the SCO summit in China was closely watched. The discussions are expected to open new trade avenues for India at a time when the U.S. administration under President Trump has imposed tariffs on Indian exports.
From a sectoral perspective, Nifty Metal led the rally with a robust 5.75% gain, supported by strong global commodity cues, while Nifty Auto advanced 5.45% amid expectations of a demand recovery. In contrast, Nifty IT declined 1.55%, reflecting global uncertainties and cautious outlook on tech spending.
Meanwhile, heightened market volatility prompted investors to seek refuge in safe-haven assets. Gold futures rose 2.82%, marking yet another week of gains, while silver futures surged 3.56%, underscoring the defensive shift in investment flows.
