Indian Developments
Broad markets displayed mixed dynamics for the week ending July 10, 2026, with the benchmark Nifty 50 cooling down slightly to register a minor weekly loss of -0.26%. The weekly returns for Nifty 100, Nifty Midcap 150, and Nifty Smallcap 250 stood at -0.18%, 1.23%, and 0.68% respectively, confirming a clear performance rotation as mid-cap and small-cap segments comfortably outpaced their large-cap peers.
INDIA VIX rose by 3.81% over the week, climbing from 11.80 to settle at 12.25. Supportive global macroeconomic signals, such as growing expectations of a more accommodative global rate environment following softer US labour market data, helped cushion broader domestic indices. On the domestic front, a strong recovery in localized IT trade and soft structural energy inputs supported baseline investor sentiment.

Global Developments
Global equity markets for the week ending July 10, 2026, rallied broadly, driven by a softer-than-expected U.S. Jobs report that cooled expectations of imminent Federal Reserve rate hikes.
