Last Week in the Market - March 3 – March 7, 2025

 📰 Last Week in the Market: Like a Rollercoaster... But With Fewer Safety Belts! (March 3 – March 7, 2025) 😅📈📉

The Indian stock market last week? Imagine a TV Serial where the characters constantly argue, but somehow still pull off a happy ending. 🎭📊

Between global trade drama, sector surprises, and a market that behaved like a caffeinated squirrel, here's what went down:

📉 Overall Market Performance — A Rollercoaster Week

The BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 spent most of the week looking like they were on a juice cleanse — dropping steadily.

👉 On March 4, the Nifty 50 fell 0.20% to 22,076.1, marking its tenth straight day of losses.
👉 The BSE Sensex slipped 0.18% to 72,953.23.

Over ten days, the market shed about 4% — and since September, it’s down 16% (which is about as comforting as checking your phone after accidentally clicking “View Old Memories”). 😅

Why? Blame those U.S. tariff tantrums targeting major trade partners like China, Canada, and Mexico. Basically, global trade pulled a muscle, and our market felt the pain.

📈 Shares Attempting a Comeback — The Survivors

Despite the market's mood swings, some stocks managed to hold their ground — or even sneak in some gains:

✅ Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd. rose 0.66% on March 7 to ₹1,934.35 — showing more resilience than that one friend who refuses to leave a party before the DJ stops playing. 🕺

✅ Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. gave investors a tiny glimmer of hope, inching up 0.07% on March 4 to ₹2,614.05 — proving that even small wins count.

🤷‍♂️ Shares That Played It Cool — The Zen Zone

While the market bounced around like a toddler on a trampoline, some stocks barely blinked:

🟦 State Bank of India (SBI) rose 0.10% on March 7 — holding its ground like the calm uncle who ignores family drama.

📉 Shares Facing Further Decline — The Underperformers

Not all stocks had a great week — some decided to slide down faster than spilled chai on a white tablecloth:

🔻 ICICI Bank Ltd. dropped 0.34% on March 7 to ₹1,214.30 — proving that even market giants can trip on a rough day.

🔻 IndusInd Bank Ltd. took a deeper dive, tumbling 3.60% — a move bold enough to make rollercoaster designers jealous.

🌅 The Happy Ending — Friday's Surprise Comeback

Just when things looked bleak, the Nifty 50 pulled off a cricket-style comeback on March 7 — scoring its best week in three months.

📈 The Nifty 50 rose 0.03% to 22,622.5 — barely moving, but hey, a win’s a win!
📉 Meanwhile, the Sensex slid 0.01% to 74,332.58 — proving that even the market enjoys a Friday mood swing.

Turns out, some bold investors went bargain hunting after the recent dip — a bit like finding great deals during an off-season sale. 🛒💸

🏁 Final Thoughts — Lessons for the Week

Markets are unpredictable — sometimes they act like a mature investor, and sometimes they behave like a toddler on a sugar rush. Either way:

✅ Stay calm.

✅ Invest smart.

✅ And may your portfolio be less moody than this week’s market! 😎
