Equity markets remained under pressure throughout the week as escalating geopolitical tensions weighed heavily on investor sentiment. The benchmark Nifty extended its losing streak for the fifth consecutive session, ending the week with a decline of 2.45%, reflecting sustained risk aversion and broad-based selling.
All major indices closed in the red, highlighting the weak undertone across the market. On the sectoral front, Nifty Pharma showed relative resilience, slipping marginally by 0.13%, while Nifty Energy emerged as the worst performer with a sharp 5.14% decline amid profit booking and sector-specific concerns.
In contrast to equities, precious metals outperformed, with gold rising 1.92% and silver gaining 5.51%. Jewellery stocks also reported improved operational performance, offering some stability amid overall market weakness. The earnings season kicked off during the week, making corporate results a crucial factor in determining the market’s near-term direction. Stock-specific action is expected to intensify as more companies announce their numbers.
