Indian equities remained under pressure, with the Nifty 50 declining 0.22% for the sixth straight week. The weakness was broad-based, with most sectors ending lower. Nifty Capital Goods fell the most, down 0.87%, while Nifty FMCG gained 0.92%, emerging as the top-performing sector.
Global rate concerns added to market pressure after the US Federal Reserve raised its policy rate by 25 bps to 3.75%-4%, its first hike since 2023. This has increased expectations of tighter monetary policy globally. In India, rising inflation and crude oil prices have also raised expectations of a possible RBI rate hike, with August retail inflation at a 20-month high of 4.82%.
Crude oil remained a concern, keeping inflation and rupee concerns high. The RBI also absorbed Rs 2.23 lakh crore through a variable-rate reverse repo auction to manage surplus liquidity.
Overall, markets remain cautious as investors track crude prices, global rates, foreign flows and geopolitical risks.
