Sensex, Nifty Weekly Performance:

Last week on Friday, Sensex closed at 74,781.76, down by 120.84 points or 0.16%. While Sensex crashed in its weekly performance by 1,473.07 points or 1.93%. Furthermore, the Nifty 50 dipped by 79.70 points or 0.34% to end at 23,398.10 on September 11th, but nosedived by 432.10 points or 1.81% overall in the week.

Talking about the weekly performance, Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments said, domestic equities ended the week decidedly lower, extending the corrective trend, as an energy-led inflation narrative dominated sentiment. Crude sustaining above the USD 100 per barrel mark, on continued hostilities and retaliatory action in West Asia, remained the central variable through the week. Compounding the pressure, the fund flow environment turned increasingly challenging as expectations of synchronized monetary tightening gained traction.

Also, rising global bond yields, together with concerns over a potential unwind of yen-funded carry trades amid expectations of a BOJ rate hike and a stronger yen, weighed on investor risk appetite and heightened concerns over capital flows into emerging markets. Domestically, rising bond yields and a depreciating rupee weighed on sentiment through the week.

Notably, Nair also pointed out that large-caps lagged the broader market, while the relatively milder correction in mid- and small-caps helped cushion overall market weakness. Sectorally, the week showed a clear rotation into defensives, with healthcare and pharma leading the gains. At the other end, the IT sector declined over the higher global rate environment, while the real estate sector corrected over rising yields and funding costs.

Stock Market Weekly Outlook

For the trading week from September 15 to 18, Nair said, the coming week brings a dense macro calendar with key releases like the US and domestic inflation prints and policy decisions from both the Fed and the BoJ, which, alongside the trajectory of crude, will set near-term direction. Elevated energy prices sustained foreign outflows and geopolitical uncertainty will keep volatility high.

However, he also added that resilient domestic fundamentals and strong institutional support could continue to attract buying at lower levels and contain the downside. The near-term task is to book partial profits where valuations are stretched and systematic risk exposure is highest and redeploy into defensive and deep-value segments.
