Amid fluctuations in the stock markets, many market indicators continued to rise for the third consecutive week. Announcement of trade deal with America, continuous purchases by FII-DII and RBE’s policy being as per expectations had a positive impact on the indices. This week, BSE Sensex rose by 1,310.62 points or 1.59 percent and closed at 83,580 points, while Nifty50 closed at 25,693 points with a rise of 373 points or 1.47 percent on the last trading day of the week.
FII and DII made net purchases this week
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) made net purchases in the Indian market this week. They bought shares worth Rs 2,645 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) netted Rs 2,892 crore in the market. Nifty Realty, Nifty Infra, Nifty Energy and Nifty Oil & Gas indices rose by 3-5 per cent. However, Nifty IT Index fell 6.3 percent. Nifty Defense Index fell 5.2 percent and Nifty PSU Bank Index fell 1.6 percent.
Market takes off due to US trade deal and tariff reduction
Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments, said, “This week there was a lot of volatility in the Indian stock market. Many domestic and foreign factors were involved in it. Union Budget 2026 could not improve the market sentiment. Due to increase in STT on F&O and higher borrowing program of the government, there was a big fall in the market indicators.” However, America’s reduction in tariff on India to 18 percent and announcement of trade deal with India had a positive impact. But, the new AI tool of American company Anthropic again spoiled the mood of the market.

What should be your investment strategy next week?
Ajit Mishra, SVP (Research), Religare Broking, said, “As long as Nifty remains above 25,400, we expect consolidation in the market to continue with a positive trend. However, trading remains challenging due to sharp fluctuations in the market during trading and mixed global cues.” He said that in such a situation, investors need to focus on specific stocks on the basis of relative strength. In case of decline, purchases can be made in energy and banking stocks. For now, it would be better to stay away from IT stocks.
