The Indian markets staged a strong comeback this week, with the Nifty 50 clocking its biggest weekly gain in four years, closing on a positive note throughout the week.
After weeks of sustained selling and heightened volatility, both Midcap and Smallcap segments saw a sharp recovery, supported by renewed investor interest.
Globally, the outcome of the FOMC meeting brought some relief, as the Federal Reserve kept interest rates steady at 4.25%–4.50%, matching market expectations. However, the Fed’s updated dot plot signaled a slightly higher year-end inflation forecast of 2.7%, coupled with a trimmed U.S. growth outlook of 1.7%.
The Nifty 50 ended the week 4.26% higher at 23,350. All major sectoral indices ended the week on a positive note with Nifty Realty surging the most by 7.82%.
