The Indian markets experienced a rollercoaster of volatility this week, largely influenced by the U.S. elections. Bitcoin hitting a fresh ATH (all-time high) signaled that investors were in the mood to take on some serious risk.
At the beginning of the week, the India VIX, hit a new 2-month high, but it eventually eased, ending the week about 8% lower. Nifty Smallcap 100 and Nifty Midcap 100 braced the traders for surprises as the week progressed. A potential return of Donald Trump was met with a positive market reaction, though certain sectors saw heightened volatility due to expectations of policy changes under his leadership.
The Nifty 50 ended the week 0.64% lower at 24,148. Nifty IT and Nifty PSU Bank surged the most by 4.00%, and 0.98% respectively.
