🗓️ The Week That Was: July 7–11, 2025
Subtitle: Markets tripped, TCS slipped, Glenmark zipped — and the global stage threw another tariff tantrum.
📉 India: Slippery Slopes & Surprise Serums
Indian markets had a bit of a mood swing this week —
Sensex down 0.83% (~690 pts)
Nifty 50 is not wanting to be left behind, followed by a 0.81% drop
(Like siblings arguing over who failed harder.)
🧠 Culprit No. 1: TCS
The country’s software sweetheart posted a not-so-sweet Q1 result.
Revenues came in looking more “Ctrl+Z” than “Ctrl+C (cash)”.
As TCS stumbled, its tech cousins Infosys and Wipro slipped too, dragging the whole IT Index down ~1.1%.
One analyst was overheard muttering,
"Even my Wi-Fi dropped just thinking about those numbers."
💡But wait! There's FMCG magic!
Hindustan Unilever sparkled with a 4.4% jump, thanks to their new CEO Priya Nair.
(Proof that clean leadership = clean profits)
💊 Glenmark Pharma decided to go full Bollywood, launching a 10% rally after licensing a promising cancer drug.
A trader was spotted throwing rose petals at the chart.
😬 Meanwhile…
U.S. tariffs made a comeback — this time targeting Canada.
That’s right: even maple syrup wasn’t spared.
Markets panicked just enough to make brokers reach for their antacids.
🌐 Global: Tariffs, Tech & Tea Leaves
Wall Street’s AI party kept going… until it didn’t.
💸 Global Inflows:
Investors poured $10.2 bn into equities like it was Diwali in July — mostly into U.S. and European tech.
Emerging markets got a $3.7 bn pat on the back too.
U.S. Markets:
After touching new highs, indexes developed cold feet:
-
S&P 500: –0.3%
-
Dow: –0.6%
-
Nasdaq: –0.2%
Blame it on rising tariffs and maybe too many AI chip jokes.
UK:
GDP shrank by 0.1%, FTSE slipped 0.4%.
Bankers blamed the weather, Brexit, and possibly Mercury in retrograde.
Germany & France:
Both slipped ~0.9%, weighed down by trade worries and a distinct lack of summer optimism.
Asia:
Nikkei dipped 0.19%, while China and Hong Kong markets mostly… stared blankly at the ceiling.
⛽ Commodities & Bonds:
-
Oil & Gold: Up (because when things go sideways, we always go shiny or oily)
-
Bond Yields: Climbed a bit — proving again that even government debt likes attention
📦 TL;DR:
📉 Markets: Slid
💻 IT: Struggled
🧴 FMCG: Shined
💊 Pharma: Rocked
🌎 Global: Shrugged
Tariffs: Struck (again)
💰 AI: Still Overhyped
