Markets staged a midweek recovery, ending stronger overall. Bullish cues emerged from strong bank earnings, sector rotation, and an S&P credit upgrade, which influenced sentiment positively.
1. Market Drivers & Sector Trends
Earnings & Institutional Bank Gains
- Shares of SBI climbed 2.2% following a strong Q1 performance, led by robust non-lending income.
- PSU banks rallied, helping lift the benchmarks out of prior lows.
Credit Rating Upgrade Lift
- S&P’s upgrade of India’s sovereign rating to BBB with a stable outlook provided an additional confidence boost, especially impacting bond yields and broader market sentiment.
Mixed Global Signals
- On August 12, markets were flat as gains in IT stocks offset weakness in financials; investors awaited U.S. CPI data.
- FII outflows and U.S. tariff fear continued to temper enthusiasm, limiting sharp gains despite the rebound.
Tariffs & Macro Sentiment
- Despite U.S. tariff pressures, markets displayed surprising resilience, likely underpinned by confidence in India’s economic fundamentals and expectations of diplomatic relief.
2. Commodities & Rupee Update
Gold Trends
- Domestic gold prices pulled back from recent highs, closing at ₹99,838 per 10g, from last week’s ₹102,250. Demand picked up modestly as buyers responded to lower prices.
Other Commodities
- Silver held steady amid stable demand dynamics; broader commodity activity remained subdued.
Indian Rupee
- The rupee ended the week relatively stable, hovering around ₹87.56–87.65/USD. S&P’s upgrade and positive domestic data helped stem further depreciation.
3. Technical & Strategic Analysis
- Nifty 50: A breakout above 24,600 is promising; support lies near 24,500. Sustained gains above this could spark short-term bullish momentum.
- Bank Nifty: Support has formed around 54,900–55,000; upside resistance near 55,500–55,700 may trigger further buying.
- Fin Nifty: Smooth upward drift with resistance near 26,400–26,500.
4. Week Forecast (18–22 August 2025)
Key Catalysts to Watch
- U.S. Inflation Data & Fed Signals – Any dovish tilt may bolster markets and commodities.
- Corporate Earnings & Auto Midcaps – Critical Q1 results from auto, midcaps, and FMCG will steer flows.
- Geopolitical Updates – Trump-Putin meeting, tariff developments, and OPEC signals may sway sentiment.
- Domestic Data – GST collections, inflation readings, and RBI policy signals due mid-August could guide direction.
Market Outlook
- Expect cautious optimism. Nifty may consolidate between 24,500–24,800, flashing early signs of a recovery.
- Defensive sectors like FMCG, pharma, and renewable may outperform if tech and metals remain volatile.
5. Key Highlights Summary

| Equities | Mid-week rally gained traction; PSUs and IT gained ground. |
| Credit Upgrade | S&P upgrade provided macro relief. |
