The Week That Was: July 14 to 18

  📉 The Week That Was: July 14–18

 “Axis Slips, FIIs Flip, and Nifty Gets a Bit Shifty” 🕺🏽💸

Markets this week were like a tragicomedy — drama, emotion, and a not-so-subtle exit by foreign investors. Here’s your weekly dose of what-the-heck-happened:

🔻 Indian Markets:

• The Sensex had a four-day meltdown, shedding 1,459 points faster than you can say “stop-loss,” and wrapped up the week at ~81,757, down 1.8%.

• Nifty 50 wasn’t far behind, slumping 2% and slipping below the psychological 25,100 mark. Thanks a lot, IT and finance — we expected more hustle.

💣 What Went Wrong?

• FIIs pulled out a whopping ₹10,169 crore in just five sessions. Maybe they’re allergic to volatility. Or just saw better snacks elsewhere.

• Citi turned its mood ring to Neutral on India. Kind of like your crush saying, “Let’s just be friends.”

• Axis Bank decided to play the villain — tumbling 5.2% on Friday alone. Investors are still searching for the banana peel it slipped on.

• And then there were trade war threats — yes, again. Uncle Sam may be preparing fresh tariffs. Because why not?

🌎 Global Markets:

• U.S. stocks moved a little bit, then panicked, then moved back. Modest gains early in the week fizzled out when trade rhetoric picked up steam.

• Global equity funds saw $5.3 billion walk out the door — first such outflow in 3 weeks. Investors are jittery, inflation is clingy, and everyone’s just trying to read Powell’s mind.

• Europe was a mixed bag — auto stocks stalled, but the FTSE 100 did a little happy dance on interest rate hopes.

• Asia mostly stared at Japan’s elections and global headlines with quiet anxiety.

• Oil and gold stayed comfortably smug, while U.S. Treasury yields tiptoed downward.

🧾 In Summary (TL;DR):

Markets were wobbly, FIIs ran for the hills, Axis Bank had a rough Friday, and global investors collectively muttered, “We’re not mad… just disappointed.”
