Pulse of the Street: Seven weeks down, a recovery remains elusive | Stock Market News
Indian markets fell for a seventh straight week, the longest slide since the 2020 pandemic crash. Oil above $100, foreign selling and heavy new share supply kept rebounds weak. Realty and consumer stocks gained, but telecom, IT and financial shares slipped. New Irdai proposals on commission caps and expense rules could cut insurance distribution income for banks and non-banking finance companies. Watch oil and foreign fund flows.
Key Statutory Highlights
- On Friday the Nifty 50 rose 0.34% to 23,140.50 and the Sensex gained 0.43% to 73,895.74, yet both indices still ended the week lower.
- Realty was the strongest sector with a 3.4% gain and consumer durables rose 1.3%, while telecom fell 2.2% and IT dropped about 1.7%.
- Crude oil futures fell 1.4% to $105.06 a barrel on Friday, but prices staying above $100 still weigh on India.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Track Brent crude, foreign fund flows and early Q2 business updates before taking fresh equity calls. If you hold bank or NBFC stocks exposed to insurance distribution, review the Irdai proposals with your CA before assuming any income impact.
