2. Key Drivers & Sentiment Shifts
⚖️ Financials & Bank Strength
Financials led the charge this week. Several private banks reported upticks in deposit growth, easing credit spreads, and better-than-expected Q3 previews. This helped Bank Nifty outperform the broader market.
📈 Foreign Inflows & Domestic Participation
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) turned net buyers midweek, particularly in banks, autos, and consumer names. Domestic investment flows, including mutual funds, also supported momentum.
🌍 Global Cues & Softening Dollar
A mild pullback in the U.S. dollar index gave breathing room to emerging markets. Some dovish central bank murmurs abroad eased rate pressure fears, improving risk-attractiveness in equities.
🪙 Rupee & Forex Relief
The Indian rupee strengthened modestly, aided by reduced crude prices and sustained inflows. Times of India reported that the rupee appreciated by 7 paise to settle at ₹88.72/USD on Friday, driven by domestic market strength and easing crude.
3. Commodities & Precious Metals
Gold
Gold continued its upward trend. On October 6, it hit a record ₹1,19,000+ per 10 g in India, driven by buying ahead of festival season and global safe-haven demand.
However, by week’s end, profit-taking began. Analysts suggest that despite short-term corrections, structural demand is still strong.
Silver
Silver had a spectacular run, with articles noting sharp jumps of ₹8,500 in a single day on festival-driven demand, hitting historic highs.
Industrial as well as investment interest remains robust, especially given supply constraints and increased ETF flows. Emkay projects further room for upside (20%) from current levels.
Crude & Base Metals
Crude oil traded under pressure, partly due to lower demand prospects and easing supply tightness. This helped ease inflation fears domestically.
Base metals had a mixed showing copper dipped amid global demand worries, while aluminum held up relatively better.
4. Sector Insights & Technical Signals
- Banking & Financials: The clear trend leader. Many banks crossed key resistances midweek, triggering momentum buying.
- Automobiles & Capital Goods: Riding the recovery wave, these sectors saw strong inflows, particularly from cyclical bets.
- IT & Pharma: Soft to mixed performance. Pharma bore more stress due to regulatory uncertainties.
- Consumables / FMCG: Moderately stable, as defensive accumulation emerged in some names.
Technical Observations:
- Nifty successfully reclaimed 25,200 and showed support in the 25,000–25,100 zone.
- Bank Nifty crossing 56,400–56,500 will be key for continuing its run.
- A slip below 25,100 in Nifty could invite a retest of 24,800.
5. INR & Macro Backdrop
Rupee strength (to ₹88.72/USD) helped ease input cost inflation worries for corporates.
Headline inflation and fiscal deficit trajectory stayed within manageable bounds, giving policymakers room to support growth.
Meanwhile, mutual fund flows in September moderated, but gold & silver ETFs saw record inflows reflecting risk hedging rather than pure equity bets.
6. Forecast: Next Week (Oct 13–17, 2025)
🔮 What to Watch
- U.S. Fed rhetoric (especially post-September inflation data)
- Q2 earnings season in India
- Crude oil direction and its impact on core inflation
- Continued flows (FII + mutual funds)
📈 View & Strategy
- Nifty: Likely range — 25,100 to 25,600. A breakout past 25,400 could target 25,800+.
- Bank Nifty: Support near 56,000, resistance around 56,800–57,200.
- Precious Metals: Gold may consolidate between ₹1,18,500–₹1,21,500, silver could see further strength.
- Rupee: Expected to stay stable to modestly firm unless external shocks reemerge.
Tactical Approach:
- Participate in strong momentum names in banking, autos, and cyclicals.
- Use commodity (gold/silver) exposures as partial hedges.
- Avoid over-leveraging—watch for sudden policy or global shifts.
