Weekly Portfolio Performance Chart

Equity Markets:
The Indian stock market experienced a volatile week, ending on a bearish note amid intensifying US-India trade tensions following a new announcement of 25% tariffs on Indian exports.
The market snapped a previous four-month rally and ended July and the week in a cautious and negative tone. Global trade tensions, FII outflows, and sectoral pressure were major headwinds. Strong domestic buying and IPO enthusiasm provided some positive offsets but did not fully offset the selling pressure.

Notable Market Drivers & Events
  • The announcement of a 25% US tariff on Indian exports on July 31 caused significant intraday selling pressure, although there was partial recovery later that day.
  • FIIs continued heavy selling, with net outflows extending for the ninth consecutive session.
  • DIIs remained net buyers, providing crucial support.
  • IPO activity remained robust despite secondary market volatility, maintaining investor interest.
  • Mixed corporate earnings results especially from the banking and IT sectors added stock-specific volatility.
Global Events:
  • The US Q2 GDP growth comes at 3%, which is higher than expected. The Fed has kept the policy rate unchanged to 4.25% to 4.5%.
