Equity markets witnessed a volatile and risk-off week, with benchmark indices closing sharply lower amid persistent FII selling and weakening global sentiment. The BSE Sensex declined nearly 2.7% over the week, while the Nifty 50 slipped 2.5%, as key technical support levels were breached, triggering further profit-booking and short-term unwinding across frontline counters. The pressure was compounded by a sharp depreciation in the rupee, with USD/INR rising to ?91.91, reflecting strong dollar demand, heightened risk aversion, and continued capital outflows. In contrast to equities, precious metals rallied strongly, reinforcing their role as safe-haven assets during periods of uncertainty. Gold prices surged to ~?1,59,000 per 10 grams, supported by rising geopolitical tensions, expectations of softer global growth, and a weaker dollar environment, while silver and platinum also scaled fresh record highs, indicating strong defensive positioning. Sectorally, market participants remained cautious, especially around rate-sensitive and high-beta pockets, as volatility stayed elevated and market breadth weakened. Adding to the mixed tone, India’s IT sector delivered uneven Q3 FY26 results, with several large companies reporting performance impacted by one-time charges linked to the new Indian labour codes, weighing on near-term profitability and management commentary. Overall, the week reflected a clear shift toward defensives and safe-haven positioning, as investors balanced domestic earnings updates with global macro risks, currency weakness, and elevated uncertainty ahead of key policy and economic events.
