Weekly Portfolio Performance Chart
Equity Markets:
Indian equities finished the week mixed to slightly weak: a strong rebound on Monday and Wednesday was offset by sharp declines on Tuesday and Thursday, leaving the market choppy and driven by oil prices, geopolitics, and earnings reactions. The dominant theme was profit booking after a sharp prior rally, plus pressure from rising crude oil and persistent geopolitical uncertainty. Markets also reacted to a weaker rupee and to mixed Q4 earnings, especially in banking and IT. Breadth was uneven, with some sessions seeing strong advance-decline ratios, but the last two days showed broad selling pressure and higher volatility.
Key Market Triggers
Crude oil spike: Brent crude moved above $120 per barrel and was cited as a major drag because it raises inflation, current account deficit, and rupee-depreciation risks.
Rupee weakness: The rupee hit fresh lows and traded past 95 per US dollar on 30 Apr, adding to imported inflation worries and foreign outflow concerns.
FII selling: Foreign investors remained net sellers through the period, while DIIs provided offsetting support with net buying.
Geopolitical तनाव: Market commentary repeatedly linked weakness to West Asia / US-Iran tensions and uncertainty around energy supply routes.
