💹 The Week That Was: Sep 29 – Oct 3, 2025
Sensex added around 224 points, and Nifty tiptoed past 24,850, thanks to solid performances from banking, metals, and consumer stocks.
Meanwhile, the rupee decided to play limbo again, slipping slightly to ₹88.77/USD 💸 — weighed down by U.S. trade tensions and persistent foreign outflows. The poor thing seems to be auditioning for a “Most Flexible Currency” award 🥇😂
🏗️ Metal Magic & Stock-Specific Shenanigans
Tata Steel stole the show 🎭, soaring ~3.4% and flexing its metal muscles 💪. PSU banks and consumer names also joined the party 🎊, helping the markets hold their ground despite global jitters.
But make no mistake — it was a “stock-specific” week. Some stocks danced like they just heard great news, while others stood in the corner sulking. 💃🕺😑
🌦️ Themes & Market Mood
The market’s resilience deserves a polite round of applause 👏 given the double whammy of a weak rupee and U.S. trade drama.
The RBI maintained its gentle, “don’t-worry-I-got-you” dovish tone 🕊️, keeping investor spirits cautiously optimistic. Still, foreign outflows continue to haunt D-Street like that one clingy ghost 👻 refusing to leave the house.
🌍 Meanwhile, Around the World...
Global equity fund inflows hit ~US$ 49.2 billion, their strongest in nearly a year 💰 — all thanks to renewed hopes of U.S. rate cuts (yes, again 😅).
In the U.S., the S&P 500 and Dow Jones hit record highs 🏆 — apparently unfazed by the partial government shutdown and missing jobs report. The stock market clearly runs on vibes, not spreadsheets 😎
Over in Europe, the FTSE 100 climbed to new highs, fueled by financials and miners ⛏️💷.
And in Asia, optimism over rate cuts lifted most regional markets — a rare week where everyone seemed in sync for once 🌏✨
