Indian equities remained under pressure during the week, with the Nifty declining 0.31%, while the Bank Nifty and Sensex also closed marginally lower. The Nifty registered its fourth consecutive weekly decline, highlighting continued investor caution despite supportive macro developments. Among sectors, Nifty Metal, IT and Pharma emerged as the strongest performers, while Nifty Infrastructure and FMCG remained under pressure.
The commodity basket remained mixed. Gold was largely flat, while Silver gained 1.7%. Meanwhile, Brent crude declined 4.5% to close around $88/bbl supported by developments around US sanctions and diplomacy.
Flows provided a modest positive signal, with FIIs turning net buyers, suggesting some improvement in foreign investor sentiment after sustained selling pressure. The rupee remained range bound, indicating limited currency stress despite global volatility.
Globally, bond markets remained a key driver of risk sentiment. The market continues to navigate the tension between the Fed's preference for higher yields and Treasury efforts to contain borrowing costs through debt management operations.
