Sensex and Nifty Snap Losing Streak but End Week Lower

On September 11, the BSE Sensex closed marginally lower while the Nifty 50 slipped below the 24,100 mark, marking the fifth consecutive week of decline for both indices. The Sensex fell 2.3% and the Nifty dropped 2.1% over the week, pressured by losses in banking, auto, and pharma sectors. Earlier in the week on September 9, the Sensex had plunged 800 points as IT stocks faced heavy selling, with the Nifty ending below 23,500. The weekly decline reflects sustained investor caution amid geopolitical tensions and rising bond yields.

Record IPO Pipeline Faces Volatility Headwinds

India’s IPO market is experiencing a historic boom despite the broader market correction, with ₹73,674 crore raised through 62 mainboard IPOs recently. A major highlight is the National Stock Exchange (NSE) IPO, which opens for public subscription on September 17 and closes on September 21, with an anchor book opening on September 16. On September 9, six companies launched share sales in a single day, the most in at least three decades, signaling intense demand for primary market opportunities. However, the massive ₹4.66 lakh crore IPO pipeline is now under pressure from market volatility and rising US Treasury yields.

Foreign Investors Pull $25 Billion as AI Trade Shifts Focus

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have withdrawn approximately $25 billion from Indian equities, driven by AI-driven flows favoring markets like Taiwan and Korea. This outflow has left the Nifty trading at a 77% premium to the emerging market benchmark, raising valuation concerns. While FIIs were net sellers of ₹2,345.87 crore on September 3, DIIs stepped in as net buyers of ₹4,977.46 crore on the same day, highlighting the resilience of domestic capital. More recently, on September 11, DIIs remained net buyers of ₹1,968.20 crore in the cash segment.

Rupee and Crude Oil Pressures Mount

The Indian rupee depreciated to 95.79 per dollar amid rising crude oil prices and West Asian tensions. Brent crude oil surged near $97 due to US-Iran tensions and rising Fed rate-hike expectations, directly impacting import-heavy sectors. This energy cost inflation has weighed heavily on the Nifty Bank and IT indices, which saw significant selling pressure on September 9.

Local view

Hindi-language media outlets are focusing heavily on the "five-week losing streak" narrative, with Economic Times Hindi noting that experts believe a sharp recovery may be imminent after such a prolonged decline. Moneycontrol Hindi highlighted that investors lost ₹3.5 lakh crore in wealth during the mid-week dip when the Sensex fell 121 points and the Nifty breached 23,400. AajTak reported on the global context, noting that while the Indian market was closed for holidays on Monday, neighboring countries like Japan, Pakistan, Taiwan, and Korea faced market crashes due to crude oil surges.
