Markets Stay Jumpy; Smallcaps & Midcaps Outperform!

Indian markets remained volatile throughout the week, with small-cap and mid-cap stocks stealing the spotlight by outperforming broader indices.
The Q3FY25 earnings season wrapped up with a varied performance across sectors. Pharma and Realty stood out with solid gains, supported by strong demand and operational efficiencies. On the flip side, the Energy and Infrastructure sectors faced challenges, struggling to maintain income growth.
Meanwhile, gold and silver continued their upward trend in the commodities space, reflecting global uncertainty and investor preference for safe-haven assets. With earnings season now behind us, market focus is shifting toward macroeconomic indicators, policy cues, and global market trends, which could set the tone for the coming weeks.
The Nifty 50 ended the week 0.58% lower at 22,796. Nifty Metal and Nifty Energy surged the most with gains of 5.16%, and 3.34% respectively.
