Indian equity benchmarks fell on Friday, leading to weekly losses, primarily due to a significant decline in IT stocks over concerns about earnings growth and persistent foreign outflows. The Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex declined by roughly 1% each for the week. Infosys and HCLTech saw notable drops. Foreign investors have withdrawn about $6 billion in January, contributing to concerns. Axis Bank shares fell due to weak quarterly results, while Reliance shares rose on exceeding profit expectations.

Simultaneously, Indian equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty 50 fell by 0.6% due to losses in major technology stocks. Meanwhile, global equity markets reached record highs amid optimism over trade agreements between the U.S. and European countries.

Indian shares snapped a three-day losing streak, with the Nifty 50 index closing 0.42% higher, supported by gains in Axis Bank. However, the benchmarks ended the week with a third consecutive weekly loss due to disappointing corporate earnings and foreign fund outflows. Axis Bank's strong quarterly profit expectations boosted private banks, while losses in Infosys and LTIMindtree weighed on the IT index. Notably, foreign institutional investors have pulled out $8.4 billion from India in October, signaling a shift in focus towards China.

Indian shares snapped a six-session winning streak on Wednesday, with the Nifty 50 falling by 0.64% and the Sensex dropping 0.59%. The decline was led by information technology stocks on fading hopes of early US interest rate cuts, as well as energy stocks. IT stocks shed 1.64%, extending its fall for the third straight session, while energy stocks declined by 1.68% after a 50% gain over the last 16 weeks. Media stocks also tumbled, with Zee Entertainment sliding by about 15% following reports of accounting irregularities. Investors are now awaiting the minutes of both the US Federal Reserve's latest monetary policy meeting and the Reserve Bank of India's last policy meeting.

The Indian rupee hit a new record low against the US dollar, closing at 84.0650 amidst equity outflows. However, it managed to avoid a steep decline due to continued dollar sales from state-run banks, possibly on behalf of the Reserve Bank of India. The rupee's depreciation comes as foreign investors withdraw $8.4 billion from Indian stocks this month, surpassing the previous record monthly outflow. Despite the rupee not benefitting from the positive trend in Asian currencies, benchmark Indian equity indices ended the day higher, but with a third consecutive weekly decline.
