HMPV Blues: A Volatile Week for Indian Markets!

The Indian markets had a tough week, with persistent selling pressure dominating sentiment. Concerns over the HMPV virus outbreak kept investors cautious, dragging the broader indices lower. The heightened uncertainty was reflected in India VIX, which spiked over 10% during the week, underlining the market's nervousness.

Amid the volatility, jewellery and realty stocks grabbed attention as they unveiled their quarterly business updates, while FMCG stocks saw buying interest as investors shifted towards defensives. IT stocks rebounded sharply on Friday, with TCS kicking off the Q3FY25 earnings season on a strong note.

The Nifty 50 ended the week 2.39% lower at 23,431. Among major indices only Nifty IT ended the week on a positive note surging by 2.02%.

Scroll down to understand more of such market news and perspectives for the week gone by in easily understandable charts.
