Weekly Portfolio Performance Chart

Equity Markets:
Indian equity benchmarks delivered a mixed performance during the holiday-shortened week, with indices retreating from early-week gains amid profit-taking, FII selling pressure, and global uncertainty. The week was characterized by sideways consolidation broken by profit-taking in the final session, with trading volumes remaining subdued as year-end approached.

Key Market Triggers

Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) Selling Pressure – FIIs remained net sellers for the eighth consecutive week. This persistent outflow created consistent downward pressure on indices and contributed significantly to the consolidation of the Index.

U.S.-India Trade Negotiation Uncertainty – Ongoing trade negotiations created caution among market participants regarding potential tariff implications and bilateral commerce impacts, limiting investor confidence in the near term

Global Monetary Policy Tightening – The Bank of Japan raised its policy rate by 25 basis points to 0.75%, marking the highest level in nearly three decades and signaling continued global monetary normalization. This shift away from ultra-loose conditions reduced risk appetite for emerging market equities like India.

RBI Liquidity Support – The Reserve Bank announced OMOs and USD/INR buy-sell swaps to provide systemic liquidity and stabilize the rupee, supporting market functioning.

Year-End Rotation to Value – Selective buying in smallcap and midcap segments on valuation grounds provided some base for smaller indices despite headline weakness.
