Hello ,
Markets Slide for 5th Straight Week; Small & Midcaps Bear the Brunt
Indian equity markets ended the week deep in the red, logging their longest weekly losing streak in 2 years. The Nifty and Sensex declined ~1% each, weighed down by weak global cues, aggressive profit booking, and heightened volatility following the monthly expiry. Broader markets underperformed sharply with severe correction in midcaps, smallcaps, and financial names.

📊 Investor Takeaway:
The broader market meltdown accelerated this week as selling intensified across realty, defence, financials, and momentum stocks. With more than 35 Nifty names closing lower, the market breadth remained decisively negative. Only FMCG provided a cushion, signaling a defensive rotation by investors. The market enters August on a cautious note, with eyes on global data, earnings commentary, and institutional flows.
