Indian Stock Market Weekly Update (19- 23 Dec)

December 23, 2022 admin

Indian Stock Market Weekly Update (19- 23 Dec): The Indian stock market indexes fell sharply on Friday and ended the week with deep cuts, extending losses for the third straight week. The domestic market sentiments were hit due to weak global cues. Markets fell four out of five trading sessions during the week.

The domestic markets started the week on a positive note but the Bank of Japan’s tweaking of its ultra-loose monetary policy on Tuesday hit the global market sentiments first. The stronger economic data in the US elevated the fear of aggressive interest rates for a longer period and triggered recession worries. The rising covid cases in China and several other countries added huge selling pressure in the markets in the last two days.

The pharma sector closed in the green while the PSU banking, media, metals, and realty sectors fell 6-10% during the week. Foreign institutional investors were the net sellers, they sold Rs 979.48 crore worth of shares in the Indian equity cash segment while DIIs bought Rs 8545.06 crore during the week.
