Weekly Portfolio Performance Chart
Equity Markets:
The Indian stock market witnessed a highly volatile week, characterized by a steady climb in the first three days, followed by a sharp crash on Thursday due to geopolitical tensions, and a partial recovery on Friday. Despite the mid-week turbulence, the benchmark indices managed to close marginally higher week-on-week.
Key Market Triggers
Geopolitics: The flare-up between the US and Iran was the primary trigger for Thursday's sell-off, pushing Brent crude prices above $71/barrel and raising concerns about India's oil import bill.
IT Sector: Saw volatility with early gains driven by news like Infosys' partnership with Anthropic, but faced selling pressure later in the week.
Oil & Gas: Upstream companies like Oil India (+5%) and ONGC rallied on rising crude prices, while oil marketing companies (HPCL, BPCL) faced pressure due to margin concerns.
WPI Inflation Spike: India's WPI inflation for January 2026 surged to a 9-month high of 1.81%, up significantly from 0.83% in December.
