Weekly Market Outlook : Indian Equities End Weak as Trade Tariff Woes Hit Sentiment by Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services
Below the Quote on Weekly Market Outlook by Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services
"The Indian equity market closed the holiday-shortened week on a significantly weaker note, as investor sentiment deteriorated due to escalating trade tariff concerns and unfavourable global cues. The IT sector faced the sharpest decline amid fears of a weakening U.S. business environment, leading to deal deferrals. Additionally, concerns over high valuations continued to weigh on small and mid-cap stocks. Meanwhile, declining U.S. bond yields signal a flight to safe-haven assets, while FII flows have shifted toward more affordable markets.
India’s Q3 FY25 GDP data met expectations, with a slight upward revision to 6.5% for the fiscal year. The agriculture sector posted steady growth in Q3, indicating a likely improvement in the kharif crop, which could support rural consumption. Investors will be closely watching key upcoming events, including the tariff policy, U.S. Core PCE Price Index, and jobless claims. In the near term, market conditions are expected to remain weak, with a gradual recovery anticipated as earnings improve from Q1 FY26 and global trade policy uncertainties subside."
