Weekly Portfolio Performance Chart
Equity Markets:
The Indian stock market experienced one of its worst weeks in nearly four years between March 9 and March 13, 2026, with the Nifty 50 declining over 5% and approximately ₹20 lakh crore in investor wealth being wiped out. The severe downturn was primarily driven by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and surging global crude oil prices.
Key Market Triggers
Crude Oil Price Surge (~30% Rally) :- Brent crude prices rallied roughly 30% over the week on the back of escalating Middle East conflict, severely hitting India as an import-dependent nation. Crude-sensitive sectors — oil marketing companies, airlines, paints, and chemicals — were among the worst performers, and the sharp spike in energy costs threatened corporate margins broadly.
Middle East Geopolitical Escalation (Iran / Strait of Hormuz) :- Iran stepped up attacks on energy and transportation infrastructure in the Gulf, raising fears of a supply disruption at the Strait of Hormuz. This drove both the crude price rally and a global risk-off sentiment.
Rupee Depreciation :- The Indian rupee weakened sharply beyond ₹92.30 per USD as surging oil prices expanded India's import bill and increased dollar demand.
Banking & Auto Sector Led Declines:- Nifty Bank fell ~4% on Monday alone, with all banking constituents in the red as investors braced for higher funding costs and tighter liquidity.
