Key Drivers of Last Week's Market

Several factors contributed to the bullish sentiment observed in the Indian markets during the week ending September 13, 2025:

• Global Cues and US Trade Hopes: Hopes of potential tariff concessions following a handshake between Prime Minister Modi and President Trump, along with expectations of a US Federal Reserve rate cut, buoyed investor confidence.
• GST Cuts: Recent GST rationalization, particularly for the automobile and consumer durables sectors, boosted investor sentiment and fueled optimism for a consumption-led recovery. Stocks in these sectors witnessed strong gains, although higher US tariffs somewhat restrained overall market movement.
• Earnings Bottoming Out: Market expert Ajay Bagga noted that earnings downgrades had bottomed out in the June quarter, with expectations for improvement from the September quarter onwards.
• IT Sector Revival: The IT sector staged its strongest weekly rally since May 2025, driven by positive remarks from Donald Trump regarding India and a buyback announcement by Infosys. Infosys alone gained over 5% in the week after announcing an ₹18,000 crore share buyback at a 19.25% premium.
• Defence Sector Performance: The defence sector also saw significant gains, with some frontline stocks rallying up to 8% in a single session due to reports of negotiations for next-generation conventional submarines.
