Indian equity benchmarks finished the week with a gain of nearly 1%, supported by a combination of softer crude oil prices and declining market volatility.
The rally was broad-based, with significant buying interest flowing into real estate, healthcare, and consumption stocks, which helped lift overall sentiment across the market.
Despite the positive close, the rally was not uniform.
Capital goods and power sectors underperformed, weighed down by broader economic concerns and specific sectoral headwinds.
Additionally, continued weakness in the Indian rupee cast a shadow over the gains, introducing currency risk for foreign investors and complicating the outlook for import-dependent industries.
The market's performance follows a period of recovery, with benchmarks staging a sharp rebound earlier in the week.
