BSE Sensex closed 1.54 percent higher, while the Nifty50 increased by 1.93 percent. Large-cap stocks went up 2.4%, while the mid-cap index gained 3.3%. All sectoral indices finished the week in positive territory, with the Metal index surging by 8.6%, the Media index rising by 7.3%, and energy stocks climbing by 6%. The recovery is noteworthy as it occurs despite FII selling throughout the week. During the first week of the month, FIIs sold equities worth Rs 15,501.57 crore. In 2025, FII sales have reached Rs 1,61,864.31 crore. US stocks experienced a sharp decline during the week, making it the worst week since early September. European markets were influenced by US trade policies, which contributed to the decline. Mainland Chinese stocks rose on hopes of a forthcoming stimulus package. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 closed 0.72 percent lower, again impacted by the uncertainty surrounding Trump’s policies. The yen strengthened against the dollar, ending at 147, compared to 150.6 a week ago. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-year Japanese government bond rose from 1.37 percent to 1.53 percent, reaching its highest level since 2008 due to expectations of an interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan.
