Weekly Portfolio Performance Chart
Equity Markets:
It was an intense week of sharp swings for the Nifty Index, with a massive 2000-point move between Budget Day and the US tariff announcement day. Markets kicked off with a special Budget Day session on February 1, plunging below 25,000 amid a surprise STT hike on F&O trades that triggered panic selling. From Tuesday to Thursday, sentiment turned positive, driven by the RBI MPC’s status quo, optimism around a potential US–India trade deal, and broad-based buying across sectors. On Friday, mild profit booking emerged, but the index still ended the week in the green after the RBI maintained its neutral stance and kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.25%.
Key Market Triggers
Union Budget 2026 reaction: Markets initially tanked on STT hikes (F&O/options), disappointing traders expecting capex/tax relief, but recovered as positives like infra push, MSME support, and fiscal discipline sank in.
US-India trade deal: Both the countries has agreed for the trade deal and the US tariff going to come down to 18% for the Indian Export.
RBI MPC decision: RBI held repo at 5.25% with neutral stance (in-line), easing rate-cut fears and boosting sentiment; Bank Nifty gained 1%. Governor's comments on growth/inflation balance aided late buying.
Q3 earnings tailwinds: Strong results from banks (BoB, IDFC First), industrials (L&T proxies), and metals fueled rotation; misses in energy/FMCG dragged laggards.
