Indian equity markets closed the week on a positive note, with small-cap indices significantly outperforming broader benchmarks.

The rally was broad-based, supported by strong performance in capital goods, metals, automobiles, and information technology stocks.

51% and 0.76% respectively during the week, but the relative strength of small-caps was the defining feature of the session.

This sector-wide strength underscores a continued rotation in investor preference toward smaller companies.

The benchmarks gained 0.51% and 0.76% respectively during the week, but the relative strength of small-caps was the defining feature of the session.

This performance aligns with a longer-term trend where small-cap equities are on pace to record their strongest first-half performance since 1991.

The data suggests a significant shift in market leadership away from large-cap growth stocks, which have dominated previous cycles.
