MUMBAI: The Indian equity benchmarks gained around 1 per cent during the week, though the trading sessions were volatile but with a cautiously constructive tone amid mixed global cues and rising geopolitical tensions.
Risk appetite weakened toward the end of the week ahead of the Union Budget 2026-27, with volatility resurfacing amid sustained FII outflows and rupee depreciation leading to losses in the last trading session.
Nifty added 1.09 per cent during the week and dipped 0.39 per cent on the last trading day to 25, 320. At close, Sensex was down 296 points or 0.36 percent at 81, 537. It added 0.90 per cent during the week.
