Steady Week as Markets Stay Calm and Fear Fades!

The Indian markets had a quiet week, with no major events driving significant moves. The broader markets showed a subdued performance, as smallcap and midcap stocks faced consistent sell-on-rise pressure throughout the week.

Despite the lackluster action in equities, India VIX dropped over 11%, signaling a decline in market volatility and a weaker sense of fear among investors. On the commodities front, silver outshone gold with a weekly gain of 1.42%, drawing attention from investors looking for better returns in precious metals.

The Nifty 50 ended the week 0.96% higher at 23,813. Nifty Pharma and Nifty FMCG surged the most during the week by 2.25% and 1.52% respectively.
