Weekly Portfolio Performance Chart
Equity Markets:
The Indian stock market witnessed a volatile week, beginning with a strong "risk-on" rally that eventually succumbed to a sharp sell-off by Friday. The market initially gained momentum following an interim India-US trade framework and strong Q3 earnings, particularly from State Bank of India (SBI). However, the week ended in a "bloodbath" on Friday, with benchmark indices plunging over 1% due to a global tech rout and heavy selling in the IT sector.
Key Market Triggers
Heavy selling in IT: Nifty IT fell about 6.9% for the week, as concerns over global tech spending and AI‑driven disruption triggered long‑term growth worries, capping any broader index upside.
India-US Trade Framework: An interim deal cutting reciprocal tariffs to roughly 18% initially boosted export-oriented sectors like automotive parts, jewelry, and pharma.
SBI Earnings Surge: SBI reported a 24% YoY growth in Q3 net profit, causing its stock to rally over 7% early in the week and supporting the PSU Bank index.
Macro Indicators: Domestic CPI inflation for January was reported at 2.7%, while the RBI maintained a neutral policy stance with the repo rate at 5.25%.
