Week in the Review
During the week, the Indian stock market faced volatility amid global economic uncertainties and renewed concerns over U.S. trade policies. Investor sentiment improved towards the week’s close, despite mixed global cues.
Indices Analysis
The Nifty 50 index ended the week with a modest decline of 0.68%, closing at 24,750.70, while the BSE Sensex fell by about 0.59%, settling at 81,451.01.
The BSE LargeCap Index closed at 9,534.24, marking a slight decline of 0.36% for the week. This downturn was influenced by underperformance in key sectors such as IT, metal, and auto. Notably, stocks like Infosys, Tech Mahindra, and HCL Technologies faced pressure, contributing to the overall decline. Conversely, State Bank of India (SBI) and HDFC Bank showed resilience, with SBI’s shares rising by 1.89% on Friday, outperforming its peers.
In the BSE SmallCap Index, which ended the week at 52,413.25, there was a modest gain of 0.17%. This growth was driven by strong performances from companies like Wockhardt, which contributed significantly to the index’s rise. Despite this, the broader market sentiment remained cautious, with mixed performances across individual stocks. The advance-decline ratio within the small-cap segment indicated a balanced market, with 511 stocks advancing and 428 declining, suggesting selective investor interest.
Overall, the week was characterized by sector-specific movements, with defensive sectors like banking showing strength, while cyclical sectors faced challenges. Investors remained vigilant, awaiting further economic cues and corporate earnings reports to guide future market directions.

Natural Gas traded with mild strength during the week, showing signs of stabilizing after a previous decline. Prices rose steadily, supported by global supply constraints and steady demand. However, a close above 301. A sustained move above ₹380 on a broader timeframe could indicate a shift toward short-term bullishness in Natural Gas.
