Nifty on the Daily Chart

It was a mixed week for the markets — one that clearly exposed the divide between the resilient large caps and the bleeding small caps. While the Nifty 50 managed to stay relatively steady, the small and micro-cap segments continued to face heavy selling pressure. This widening divergence has created a peculiar scenario where the headline index looks stable, but a large section of investors are sitting on portfolio losses. The RBI’s interest rate cut this week brought some cheer, but its impact was largely restricted to large caps, with liquidity yet to trickle down meaningfully into the broader market. In essence, this is a market of two realities — the strong getting stronger at the top, and persistent pain underneath.

Nifty daily chart reflected this churn clearly. The first few sessions of the week saw continued weakness, but the tide turned sharply on the final trading day. Triggered by the RBI’s rate cut, the Nifty staged an impressive reversal, erasing all its earlier losses in one strong session and closing the week virtually unchanged at –0.06%.

Nifty – Weekly Chart Perspective

On the weekly chart, Nifty continues to look technically healthy and structurally strong. There’s no apparent damage or trend reversal visible on the larger timeframe. The consolidation phase seems to be absorbing pressure effectively, hinting that institutional flows into large caps are keeping the index afloat even as retail-heavy small caps crumble.

S&P 500 Overview

Globally, the mother market — the U.S. — remains rock-solid. The S&P 500 ended the week 0.31% higher, closing at another all-time high. This sustained strength in U.S. equities provides a stabilizing backdrop for global risk assets, but also intensifies concerns about valuation bubbles forming at the top end of the market.

GOLD Overview

Gold was marginally up this week, by 0.12%, holding steady after recent strength. The metal’s calmness amid volatility in other asset classes suggests that investors are not yet in full “risk-off” mode.

Dollar Index Overview

Dollar Index, on the other hand, began to decline, a development that typically supports emerging markets and precious metals — a potential tailwind if it continues.

Global Indices Overview

Our Global Indices Overview (in dollar terms) shows that this was a broadly positive week worldwide — except for India and Brazil, both of which ended in the red. Brazil fell 2.5%, while India slipped slightly, even as every other major market — Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, France, Germany, the U.K., Canada, and the U.S. — posted gains. This isolation underscores that the recent weakness in India is more of a localised correction, not part of a global downturn.

Global Momentum

On the Global Momentum Scoreboard, India has unfortunately slipped to the bottom ranks. Both Nifty 50 and Nifty 500 now occupy the last few spots, a stark reversal from earlier this year when India was among the world’s top performers. The momentum baton has now passed to Canada, Europe, and the U.S., which lead the global rankings.

Benchmark Indices Overview

Domestically, the benchmark indices told a clear story of stress in the broader markets. Small caps fell 1.42%, midcaps lost 0.84%, and the Nifty Next 50 declined 0.62%.

Sectoral Overview

Only the IT sector managed to deliver gains, aided by the USDINR crossing the 90 mark, which boosts export earnings for tech companies. Most other sectors — defense, capital markets, tourism, media, energy, and PSU banks — saw meaningful corrections.

The sectoral momentum scores still place autos, banks (both PSU and private), and metals at the top — sectors that are holding trend strength. Meanwhile, media, tourism, real estate, energy, and public sector enterprises continue to occupy the bottom. A few notable shifts stood out: capital markets and PSU banks saw sharp rank drops, suggesting near-term exhaustion, while commodities and metals moved up decisively, possibly hinting at the start of another commodity-led rotation.

Introducing All Seasons

Markets reward patience — but rarely make it easy.
Even index investors — owning India’s top 50 companies through the Nifty 50 — struggle to stay the course. Drawdowns hurt, flat markets drain conviction, and emotions often break compounding faster than crashes do.

That’s exactly why we built All Seasons — a simple, rule-based strategy that helps you stay invested through every phase of the market by dynamically balancing between Nifty 50 (for growth) and Gold (for stability).

📈 Growth — Nifty 50
Own India’s strongest 50 companies — the backbone of our economy. Participate in the nation’s long-term growth story without picking stocks or timing entries.

🛡️ Stability — Gold
Crises strike without warning. Gold rises when equities stumble — acting as your portfolio’s natural hedge and emotional anchor.

⚙️ The Engine Behind It
All Seasons shifts allocations every fortnight based on market conditions:

• When equities run hot, exposure trims automatically.
  
• When they’re beaten down, the system increases weight.
  
• Gold moves in the opposite direction — balancing every phase.
  

No guesswork. No emotion. No fear of missing out — just a calm, intelligent portfolio that adapts to markets for you.

Who is this for?
✅ Index investors who want smoother participation
✅ New investors who prefer ETFs over stock-picking
✅ Professionals who can’t invest in direct equities
✅ Seasoned investors looking to add stability to their core
✅ Anyone who wants to stay in control without daily decisions
