Out of 20 key sectors, 19 sectors gave positive returns with only IT sector giving negative returns this week. The 3 biggest beneficiaries were rate sensitive sectors; Realty, Capital Markets, and NBFCs. Defence continued to gain on order flows, while metals and chemicals gained on supply chain edge. Out of the 19 gaining sectors, 7 sectors gained over 2%.
Average returns of the 20 sectors stood at 2.37%. The top 5 sectors delivered 5.54% returns, while top 10 sectors gave average returns of 3.75%. Even the bottom 10 sectors delivered 0.99% on average. The positive traction in markets was largely triggered on Friday after the RBI monetary policy announced a big boost to growth and liquidity.
WEEK THAT WAS; THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY
On the positive side, the RBI cut repo rates by 50 bps to 5.50%. That is a full 100 bps lower since February. In addition, the 100 bps cut in CRR is likely to release ₹2.50 Trillion into the financial system, ensuring more lendable resources for banks. RBI-MPC also lowered its inflation estimates for FY26 by 30 bps to 3.7%, lower than the RBI median. Also, the US jobs data is conducive to further FPI flows into emerging markets like India.
On the downside, the Indo-US trade deal is still on tenterhooks, despite assurances by the US Commerce Secretary. Along with the rate cuts, the RBI also changed the stance of the monetary policy from accommodative to neutral; implying that further rate cuts may be unlikely. Also, the CRR cuts are back-ended; in that they will take effect in 4 tranches between September and November. Bank NIMs are likely to face pressure too!
STOCK MARKET TRIGGERS FOR COMING WEEK TO JUNE 13, 2025
Here are key triggers that could influence stock markets next week.
What does this mean for Nifty and Sensex levels in the coming week to June 13, 2025.
PARTING THOUGHTS ON NIFTY AND SENSEX LEVELS
VIX fell sharply from 16.08 levels to 14.33, as bond market uncertainty and geopolitical risk faded compared to previous week. VIX may stabilize around this region.
This is a busy month for the markets. This week is about India and US inflation, especially since US inflation is likely to feel the impact of tariffs. The week after that would be about the RBI MPC minutes and the Fed policy statement and the quarterly projections update. The big data point will come out in the last week, when the FY25 current account deficit (CAD) number is out. That could be data point to watch out for!
