This week saw a mixed-to-negative market breadth, with sectoral divergence clearly visible across the Indian equity landscape. Nifty Auto (+2.15%) emerged as the top performer, followed by Metals and Microcaps, indicating selective risk appetite among market participants. PSU Banks and IT posted modest gains, while broader indices like Midcaps remained largely flat. On the downside, FMCG (-1.91%) and Realty (-1.89%) led the losses, reflecting defensive and rate-sensitive weakness respectively. Smallcaps and Pharma also witnessed corrections, signalling pressure in broader markets. Benchmark indices Nifty 50 and Sensex ended marginally negative, suggesting an absence of strong directional momentum — the week was largely driven by stock and sector-specific action rather than any broad-based trend.
