Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) moved the other way, offloading equities worth Rs 24,190 crore and remaining net sellers for a second straight week, selling in all four trading sessions, IANS said.

How the week closed

The Nifty rose 0.6 per cent for the week to close at 25,144.3 after touching an intra-week high of 25,424 on Wednesday before profit booking set in at higher levels. The Bank Nifty outperformed with a 3.7 per cent weekly gain, while the Nifty Midcap 100 rose 2 per cent and the Nifty Smallcap 100 gained 2.6 per cent, according to IANS. Independent market wraps put the Sensex's weekly gain at about 564 points, or 0.70 per cent, to 81,592.45.

Analysts cited by IANS said the sustainability of the foreign inflows will be the key variable in the coming weeks, with investors tracking geopolitical developments and their impact on crude oil prices, the US Federal Open Market Committee minutes, and India's wholesale price inflation data for cues on monetary policy.

Brokerage view

A Citi Research report cited by IANS said the Nifty 50 is likely to reach 28,000 points by the end of 2027, supported by a strong earnings outlook and lower oil prices. This is a brokerage projection, not a market guarantee.
