Weekly Portfolio Performance Chart
Equity Markets:
Indian equities entered the second full week of January 2026 in a consolidative and cautious phase, characterized by persistent foreign investor selling, intermittent profit-taking in heavyweight stocks, and selective sectoral divergence. The week was shortened to four trading days due to a market holiday on January 15 for municipal corporation elections in Maharashtra. Benchmark indices oscillated in a narrow range, reflecting an underlying tension between defensive domestic accumulation and external liquidation pressures stemming from US-India trade uncertainties and global macroeconomic headwinds.
Key Market Triggers
Q3 FY26 earnings season:- The week marked the heart of Q3 earnings, with results from IT majors (Infosys, Wipro, HCLTech), insurance giants (HDFC Life, SBI Life, LIC), and financials driving sharp stock-specific moves. Nifty50 PAT growth was forecast at 9.8% YoY for Q3, with IT services, autos, telecom, and metals & mining expected to lead, providing selective support to the indices even as broader markets stayed volatile.
US–India trade deal uncertainty:- Lingering concerns over the fate of the US–India trade deal, alongside fears of fresh US tariffs, kept investor sentiment cautious throughout the week. This was cited as a key overhang on export-facing sectors like IT and pharmaceuticals, and delayed FII flow normalization.
Persistent FII selling and DII support:- FIIs remained net sellers for multiple sessions, offloading about ₹8,800 crore in the previous week and continuing outflows through this week, marking the seventh straight session of selling by mid-January. DIIs countered with net inflows exceeding ₹15,700 crore, cushioning the downside but not reversing the overall weakness.
Rupee Depreciation and Currency Weakness : The rupee breached the 90 per dollar mark, becoming Asia's worst-performing currency with approximately 5% depreciation in 2025 and a further decline in early 2026. The rupee also depreciated over 19% against the euro and 14% against the British pound.
