The Week That Was: Oct 13 – 17, 2025
(A week when the bulls finally found their sneakers again 🐂👟)
India: From Meh Monday to Fabulous Friday
The week kicked off on a cautious note (think “Monday blues, but for traders”). On Oct 13, the Sensex dipped ~174 points and Nifty slipped below 25,250, weighed down by FMCG and IT gloom plus some fresh U.S.–China trade tension drama. 🥲
But by midweek, the mood did a full 180° turn! 📈
Foreign investors decided to come back to the party 🎉, and banking stocks led the revival. Sectors like autos, FMCG, and consumer names followed, adding glitter to the indices.
By Friday (Oct 17), the Nifty crossed 25,700 (+0.49 %) and the Sensex jumped 0.58 %, powered by heavyweights like Reliance Industries (clearly having its “main character moment” 💪). IT stocks, however, stayed in the timeout corner. 💻😬
🌍 Global Markets: A Bumpy Ride on the “Volatility Express” 🚂💥
Globally, markets looked like a toddler on a sugar rush — up, down, and all over the place.
-
U.S. equities ended the week barely smiling, recovering from midweek panic over regional banking stress and trade war chatter.
-
Europe caught the banking bug too — with its financials wobbling.
-
Asia saw weakness across Japan’s Nikkei and China’s Shanghai Composite, both under tariff tension pressure.
-
Gold glittered like an overachiever 🌟, hitting near-record highs, while the VIX (the market’s “fear gauge”) spiked — basically, investors were nervous-laughing their way through the week. 😬📊
🔑 Global Themes
💣 Banking jitters – Regional bank stress in the U.S. re-ignited “contagion” talk.
🌐 Trade tantrums – New tariff and export control drama from the U.S. & China.
