Market performance

Indian equities ended the week lower amid elevated crude prices and persistent foreign selling. On Friday, the Nifty 50 declined 0.3% to 23,398, after falling as much as 1% to an intraday low of 23,231. The index ended the week down 2.1%. Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 fell 0.3% and 0.6%, respectively. Private Banks outperformed, while Realty was among the key laggards, with the Nifty Realty index hitting a more than two-month low.

Indian equities are likely to remain under pressure, according to Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research, Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal Financial Services.

“Brent crude has crossed the US$100/bbl mark and surged towards US$110/bbl, with intensifying West Asian tensions raising concerns over supply disruptions. Rising crude prices have pushed global bond yields higher, with the US 10-year Treasury yield approaching 5%, increasing pressure on equity valuations and raising expectations of a more hawkish Fed stance. The rupee depreciated to Rs 95.6/US$, while persistent FII selling added to the pressure,” Khemka said.

In the primary market, the NSE announced a price band of Rs 1,700–1,785 per share for its IPO, which will open for subscription on September 17 and is expected to raise around Rs 22,662 crore. Investors will focus next week on India’s August CPI and WPI inflation, the US Fed policy decision, US retail sales and industrial production, with crude prices, the rupee and global yields remaining key monitorables.
