The week ending June 19 brought a notable wave of optimism across global financial markets, largely fueled by news of a preliminary peace agreement. While the deal is not entirely ironclad, it succeeded in calming investor anxieties and driving a significant shift in asset prices.
The broader market sentiment turned positive, marked by falling oil prices and strong momentum in key indices.
Nifty – Weekly Chart Perspective
S&P 500 Overview
In global macroeconomic movements, energy markets saw a sharp drop with crude oil sliding 7.5% over the week. This drop in commodity pressure coincided with a steep 11.9% decline in the India Vix, signaling reduced market volatility and lower perceived risk. In currency markets, the US Dollar Index reached a new 52-week high of 100.76, though the Indian Rupee displayed resilience, strengthening to 94.31 against the dollar.
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 gained 0.93%, heavily supported by the continued outperformance of artificial intelligence and semiconductor stocks.
GOLD Overview
Conversely, gold experienced downward pressure, dropping 2.32%. This decline followed hawkish commentary from the new Federal Reserve Chair, Kevin Warsh, whose initial remarks strongly hinted at upcoming interest rate hikes.
Crude Oil Overview
Global Indices Overview
A look at global indices in dollar terms reveals an impressive rally led by Asian markets. South Korea’s Kospi surged phenomenally by 10.8%, followed closely by Japan’s market, which climbed 7.1%. Interestingly, Japan’s rally occurred despite local interest rates being hiked to near 40-year highs, defying conventional financial wisdom that rising rates automatically suppress equity performance. In comparison, the Nifty and Nifty 500 posted solid dollar-term gains ranging between 3% and 4%.
Global Momentum
Looking at global momentum scoring, South Korea, Japan, and the US broader market via the Russell 2000 occupy the top ranks, while the Hang Seng, China, the UK’s FTSE, and Germany sit at the bottom. Indices in Brazil and Canada also joined the Hang Seng and FTSE in negative territory for the week.
Benchmark Indices Overview
In the domestic market, mid and small-cap segments took the lead. Small-caps jumped 3.72%, followed by the Nifty Next 50 at 3.3% and mid-caps at 3.2%. The Nifty 500 rose 2.4%, while the large-cap heavy Nifty 50 lagged slightly with a 1.6% gain.
Sectoral Overview
Sectoral performance was topped by defense and the capital markets, the latter receiving a substantial boost from the National Stock Exchange draft red herring prospectus filing. Tourism grew by 6%, and real estate climbed 5.5%.
On the flip side, information technology stocks slumped, though their weekly loss was contained at 1.3%.
Sectoral momentum is currently concentrated in defense, capital markets, energy, and multinational corporations, while metals and pharma have suddenly lost their pace. Oil and gas services, fast-moving consumer goods, and information technology have dropped to the bottom of the momentum rankings, making defense and energy the most fertile areas for bullish setups.
