Weak Benchmarks, Strong Rotation: Energy & Smallcaps Outperform

Indian equities had a mixed week with clear sectoral divergence. The Nifty 50 declined 0.73% and the Sensex fell 0.97%, mainly dragged down by Nifty Bank (−2.56%) and Nifty IT (−2.56%), while PSU Banks were the worst performers at −3.87%.

On the positive side, some sectors showed strength. Nifty Energy led with a gain of 1.94%, followed by Smallcap 100 (+1.62%), Pharma (+1.22%), and Infra (+1.08%). FMCG remained almost flat at −0.13%. This indicates a shift in investor preference from financials towards energy and smallcaps despite overall market weakness.

In commodities, Gold declined 0.71% to around ?1,51,600 per 10 grams as safe-haven demand eased. Silver remained largely unchanged during the week. Meanwhile, the Indian Rupee weakened further, with USD/INR again touch 95/$ mark, rising 0.73% during the week, reflecting continued FII outflows and higher crude import costs.
