Indian equity benchmarks ended the week on a negative note, pausing after a four-week rally as investors await corporate earnings, global cues and policies. The Nifty 50 opened on a firm note but later pared gains to close lower at 25,722, indicating consolidation near record highs. The Bank Nifty also mirrored this trend, finishing the week nearly unchanged. Despite muted movement in secondary markets, the primary market remained robust - October 2025 emerged as India’s busiest IPO month on record, with fundraising reaching ~?46,000 crore, underscoring strong investor participation and ample market liquidity.
Global attention remained focused on the U.S. Federal Reserve’s October 29 meeting, where the central bank cut interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing the benchmark range down to 3.75. The move buoyed global risk sentiment and lent near-term support to equity and bond markets.
In commodities, gold and silver extended their decline for the second consecutive week. Gold slipped over 3%, weighed down by a stronger U.S. dollar and waning geopolitical tensions, which dampened safe-haven demand. Silver followed a similar trajectory, reflecting broad-based weakness across precious metals.
The India Maritime Week 2025 (October 27-31), held in Mumbai, underscored India’s focus on expanding maritime infrastructure and advancing the Blue Economy. The event brought together global stakeholders, policymakers, and industry leaders to discuss trade connectivity, port modernization, and sustainable ocean growth -key priorities in India’s long-term economic strategy.
On the global front, Nvidia briefly surpassed a $5 trillion market capitalisation, reaffirming investor confidence in AI-led innovation and underscoring the technology sector’s continued leadership in driving global equity markets.
