As we stand today, the Nifty is very close to clocking 10% negative returns for March. This marks the worst monthly performance the market has seen since March 2020. It has been six long years since we witnessed a decline of this magnitude; before that, similar 9% to 10% negative months occurred back in January and November of 2011. A significant amount of wealth has eroded from the markets, making these incredibly difficult times for investors.
The primary mover behind this volatility remains the ongoing geopolitical tension between the US, Iran, and Israel, which is now entering its fourth week. This situation has had a massive impact on energy costs, with crude oil prices surging about 45% in March alone. For an economy like India, which imports approximately 85% of its crude oil requirements, this creates a double shock.
Turning to the US, there is little positive news from the Federal Reserve. The recent “hawkish pause” saw interest rates remain unchanged, effectively dashing earlier hopes for multiple rate cuts in 2026. Instead, rumors are circulating regarding a potential precautionary interest rate hike to battle energy-related inflation.
Nifty on the Daily Chart
The Nifty ended this week down 1.28%. Although there were a few positive green candles that saw the index approach the 24,000 mark, it has since slipped back below 23,000 to close at 22,819. Support was found near the 22,500 range, but Friday’s session broke below Thursday’s low, ending the week on a weak note.
Nifty – Weekly Chart Perspective
On the weekly chart, Nifty has seen five successive negative weeks. If we zoom out, a critical support level to watch is around 21,800. While sellers have been ruthless, the sharp recovery attempts by buyers at every opportunity are encouraging signs that are preventing a deeper slide.
S&P 500 Overview
The “mother market” in the US was also down 2.12% this week, marking five consecutive weeks of selling for the S&P 500, which currently sits at 6,386.85.
GOLD Overview
Gold, acting as a safe haven, saw some purchasing interest due to rising tensions; despite a correction, it experienced a major spike resulting in a superb candle structure.
Dollar Index Overview
The Dollar Index (DXY) rose 0.69% to hit the 100 mark.
Global Indices Overview
Looking at global indices in dollar terms, almost every market was down over the last month. Interestingly, over a one-year period, Nifty is down 12.4% in dollar terms while most other global markets remain up.
Global Momentum
Brazil and South Korea continue to lead the one-year charts, though even the South Korean KOSPI has taken a major beating in the last week.
Benchmark Indices Overview
Sectoral Overview
In terms of local sectors, IT and Pharma have emerged as strong relative performers, staying flat or resilient during the chaos. Conversely, Defense, PSU Banks, and Real Estate have been the weakest, with PSU Banks dropping 16% over the last month.
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.
