Weekly Portfolio Performance Chart

Equity Markets:

The week was characterized by a strong, broad-based rally from Monday through Thursday, fueled by highly favorable global macroeconomic news, before a massive IT sector sell-off snapped the winning streak on Friday.

Key Market Triggers

• US-Iran Peace Deal: The official finalization of a peace agreement brought immediate relief to global energy markets. Brent crude oil fell below $78 per barrel, providing a significant tailwind for India's import-heavy economy and triggering broad-based buying across domestic sectors.
• India-UK Free Trade Agreement: Confirmation that the long-awaited FTA will officially come into effect on July 15 kept investor sentiment firmly upbeat through Thursday.
• Institutional Tug-of-War: Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net sellers throughout the week, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) acted as the market's safety net, consistently absorbing the outflows.
• The Friday Tech Rout: The market tumbled due to a brutal sell-off in Information Technology (IT) stocks. This was a direct reaction to US tech bellwether Accenture slashing its full-year constant-currency revenue growth guidance down to just 3–4%. The downgrade signaled that global clients remain highly cautious with discretionary tech spending, effectively acting as a macroeconomic warning for Indian IT firms that rely on the same global pipeline.
