Weekly Portfolio Performance Chart

Equity Markets:

The equity markets extended their corrective phase this week, experiencing a four-session losing streak before staging a partial recovery on Friday. Despite the Friday rebound, the benchmark indices ended the week in the red as global headwinds, elevated crude oil prices, and hawkish US inflation data weighed heavily on investor sentiment.

Key Market Triggers

  • US Inflation & Rate Cut Uncertainty: US PCE inflation data came in above expectations, severely denting hopes for a September Federal Reserve rate cut. Hawkish commentary from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh at Jackson Hole further fueled concerns over sustained high interest rates.
  • FII Selling vs. DII Buying: The market witnessed sustained and heavy selling pressure from Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) throughout the week. However, robust and consistent buying by Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) helped limit the broader market impact and absorb the outflows.
  • Geopolitics & Crude Oil: Ongoing geopolitical tensions and diplomatic talks regarding the Iran-Oman Hormuz corridor kept crude oil prices volatile. Elevated energy prices continue to pressure inflation expectations and weigh on energy-sensitive domestic sectors.
