Weekly Portfolio Performance Chart

Equity Markets:
The Indian stock market experienced extreme volatility during the week, starting with positive momentum but ending in a severe Friday crash. All major indices registered their third-worst weekly decline of the year amid macroeconomic uncertainty and heavy institutional selling.

Key Market Triggers

Global Cues: Markets initially rallied on Monday after the US Supreme Court struck down import tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, but sentiment soured later due to Middle East geopolitical tensions and mixed Asian market cues.

Q3 GDP Data: Market anxiety peaked ahead of Friday's Q3 FY26 GDP data release, with growth projections of 7.6% to 8.3% complicated by MoSPI's highly anticipated GDP base year revision.

IT Sector Sell-Off and "AI Shock": Technology stocks faced severe downward pressure due to concerns over artificial intelligence-led industry disruption and a wave of recent brokerage downgrades.
