Macro & Policy Highlights
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) raised India’s growth forecast for fiscal 2025/26 to 6.6 %, up from 6.4 %, citing resilient domestic demand and healthier consumption despite headwinds from U.S. tariff pressures.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor affirmed that India’s macroeconomic fundamentals are “very strong”, highlighting increasing capacity utilisation and downplaying the risk of U.S. tariff-related spillovers.
Bond Markets Remain Calm: Despite global volatility, India’s fixed income segment delivered modest gains as inflation stayed contained and foreign debt flows remained supportive.
Flow & Market Structure Signals
After weeks of foreign selling, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) appear to be re-entering Indian equities, with over ₹3,000 crore of net inflows recorded in the past week, indicating a possible sentiment shift.
The market breadth, however, remains mixed. While headline indices hit fresh highs, the broader mid-cap and small-cap segments underperformed, underscoring a degree of selectivity in the rally.
Corporate & Capital Markets Climate
The primary market is heating up: October is shaping up to be a blockbuster IPO month for India, with deals expected to cross the US$5 billion mark as investor appetite returns.
Corporate earnings commentary has improved modestly — the financial sector in particular is starting to show signs of credit growth and improving asset quality, contributing to the broader positive overlay.
Market Sentiment & Outlook
The sentiment backdrop is cautiously optimistic. Key drivers for next week include: continued FII flows, monitoring of earnings outcomes, and external trade/tariff developments. Analysts advise a tactical approach, as volatility expectations have risen (India VIX jumped ~15 %) and the recent run-up suggests some near-term consolidation risk.
Global Market Snapshot
U.S. & Developed Markets
Global risk assets held up well this week despite some trade-policy jitters. Valuation rotation into growth and cyclical sectors gained traction.
Emerging Markets & Commodities
Precious-metals demand surged, particularly in India, where gold demand during the festive season shifted toward coins and bars amid record prices and elevated premiums.
Trade & Geopolitical Risk
The U.S. tariff regime remains a concern. While India has shown resilience, the global backdrop of rising protectionism continues to weigh on sentiment for export-heavy markets.
Regional Developments
Cross-border acquisitions and capital flows (such as a major foreign bank acquiring a stake in Indian banking) indicate renewed global interest in India’s financial sector.
Ending Summary
For the week ending 17 October 2025, Indian equities navigated a complex global environment with relative strength — boosted by improved domestic growth forecasts, returning foreign flows, and a supportive earnings/IPO pipeline. Nevertheless, selective participation and higher volatility may indicate that while the momentum has shifted, risks remain ahead.
