Weekly Portfolio Performance Chart
Equity Markets:
Indian equity markets delivered a strong performance during the week ending January 2, 2026, with the Nifty 50 closed at all time high mark. The rally was broad-based, with 15 of 16 major sectors advancing, led by metals (up 1.4%), autos (up 1.2%), and PSU banks (up 1.2%). The week marked a shift from cautious consolidation to renewed investor confidence, supported by expectations that earnings will beat estimates and the RBI's continued deregulatory stance.
Key Market Triggers
Positive Auto Sales Data - Strong December monthly sales from major automobile companies signaled robust demand and likely improvement in Q3 earnings, with Hero MotoCorp, TVS Motor, Mahindra & Mahindra, and Ashok Leyland hitting record highs on healthy year-on-year growth aided by tax cuts and festive demand.
Steel Import Tariffs and Metal Price Rally - Government-imposed import tariffs on steel products to protect domestic manufacturers, combined with higher global metal prices and a weaker US dollar, drove the metals index up 1.4%, with Coal India jumping 7% and Hindalco rising 4%
Tobacco Excise Duty Impact - The government's announcement of additional excise duty on tobacco products effective February 1 triggered a sharp 4-5% decline in ITC and dragged the FMCG index down 1.2%, creating sector-specific weakness.
Banking Sector Optimism - Improved asset quality expectations and positive corporate updates drove the Bank Nifty to a fresh record high above 60,000, with both PSU banks (up 1.2%) and private lenders (up 0.5%) participating in the rally.
