Market Pulse – Sunday, 28 June 2026
Indian equity benchmarks showed relative resilience this week, with the Nifty 50 down just 0.46% and the Sensex falling 0.40% over the week, while both indices posted modest monthly gains of 0.60% and 1.44% respectively. This performance stands in sharp contrast to broader global weakness: the ACWI fell 2.19% for the week, the S&P 500 lost 1.95%, and the NASDAQ dropped 4.60%. The VIX spiked 12.26% in the week and 13.01% over the month, signaling elevated fear across global markets. Among emerging markets, the Hang Seng plunged 5.24% weekly and 10.49% monthly, while the KOSPI tumbled 7.08% for the week. India’s relative outperformance suggests domestic resilience, supported by stable currency conditions and a less exposed economic structure.
Sector rotation this week was overwhelmingly in favor of Real Estate, which dominated the top-performing list with weekly gains of 12.51%, 11.89%, 9.81%, and 9.05% across various sub-indices. Financial Services also posted a strong 8.98% weekly gain, though its monthly return was modest at 0.98%. On the weaker side, Industrials managed only a 6.09% weekly gain, while some Financial Services sub-sectors lagged with 6.00% weekly returns. The standout sub-sector was Utilities – Regulated Water, surging 36.24% for the week and 21.13% for the month, alongside Grocery Stores in Consumer Defensive, which gained up to 27.79% weekly. These moves point to defensive and real-asset rotation amid global uncertainty.
Commodities painted a stark picture of demand concerns. Brent Crude plunged 9.08% weekly and 23.00% monthly, while WTI Crude fell 9.62% and 21.93% respectively. Silver dropped 9.93% weekly and 20.01% monthly, and Gold lost 3.03% for the week and 7.90% for the month. This broad sell-off in commodities—especially energy and metals—suggests weakening global growth expectations. Cocoa was a notable exception, surging 25.92% weekly and 26.01% monthly. On the currency front, the US Dollar Index rose 0.51% weekly and 2.17% monthly, while the INR remained remarkably stable, with USD/INR up just 0.06% for the week and down 1.73% for the month. A stable rupee and falling crude prices are net positives for Indian oil importers and consumer-facing sectors.
Looking ahead to next week, the key themes to monitor are the continued global risk-off sentiment and its impact on FII flows into Indian equities. The sharp drop in crude oil could provide a tailwind for sectors like paints, tyres, and aviation, while the rally in Real Estate and regulated utilities may continue if defensive rotation persists. However, the VIX remains elevated, and any further weakness in global tech or emerging market indices could pressure Indian benchmarks. Investors should
