Week in the Review<\/h2>\n

Indian equities ended lower for the fourth consecutive week amid heightened volatility, as investors remained concerned over renewed tensions in West Asia, rising crude oil prices, elevated global bond yields and continued FII selling. However, the downside was cushioned by rupee appreciation, persistent DII support, robust GST collections and healthy automobile sales for August.<\/p>\n\n

Indices Analysis<\/h2>\n

For the week, the BSE Sensex fell 0.47%, to end at 76,515.43, while the Nifty 50 shed 0.61%, to close at 23,897.70. The Bank Nifty slipped 0.10% to 57,369.65, while the Fin Nifty declined 0.62% to 26,051.<\/p>\n

The week began on the back foot, with the Sensex losing 307 points on Monday as weak global cues and expectations of a September rate hike after the Fed chair’s Jackson Hole address weighed on sentiment. Tuesday brought strong domestic news, with gross GST collections for August at \u20b91,99,853 crore, up 14.8% year-on-year, on the heels of stronger-than-expected Q1 FY27 GDP growth and healthy August auto despatches, but the indices still ended marginally lower. The selling deepened midweek as the US and Iran traded strikes: Brent crude crossed $95 a barrel on Wednesday and Thursday’s session, which followed reports of Iranian attacks on US bases in the UAE and Kuwait, saw the Sensex fall 417 points for a fourth straight losing day, with the Nifty closing at the day’s low amid late weakness in the closing auction.<\/p>\n

Friday finally snapped the streak. The Sensex rose 363 points to 76,515.43, led by metal stocks and heavyweights such as Reliance Industries, Tata Steel and Bajaj Finance, as global bond yields eased after Fed Governor Christopher Waller indicated he would favour holding rates if inflation continues to moderate, and India VIX cooled nearly 6% to around 10.7. SEBI also said it will review the methodology for determining settlement prices of derivative contracts on expiry, based on feedback from the first month of the Closing Auction Session. Foreign investors sold a net \u20b93,111.94 crore on Friday while domestic institutions bought a net \u20b98,930.12 crore, and the rupee’s appreciation to around 94.94 per dollar, helped by RBI swap-facility inflows of $136.38 billion, cushioned the oil shock.<\/p>\n\n
