Hello ,
Bears tighten grip; PSU banks and media offer rare cheer
Indian equities logged a sixth consecutive weekly loss, marking one of the longest losing streaks in recent years. Weakness in pharma, FMCG, and IT weighed heavily on sentiment, while global market softness and cautious FII flows kept risk appetite muted. Amid the selloff, PSU banks and media stocks emerged as resilient pockets, offering some relief to investors.

📊 Investor Takeaway: The market’s downward drift deepened this week as profit-taking and sectoral rotation kept benchmarks under pressure. Defensive sectors failed to shield investors, with FMCG, pharma, and healthcare dragging indices lower. On the flip side, strength in PSU banks and select cyclicals suggested pockets of opportunity even in a risk-off environment. Going forward, investors will closely track earnings momentum, domestic macro data, and global risk cues to assess whether the current weakness turns into a deeper correction or finds a near-term floor.
