Last Week's Performance
+1.8% WoW — The Nifty 50 registered a modest recovery in the week ended February 28, 2026, clawing back from prior-week losses.

Auto and IT sectors led gains; Energy and FMCG lagged.
Upcoming Week Outlook
Watchpoints: RBI Monetary Policy Committee meeting (Mar 5–7) — market expects a 25 bps repo rate cut; US non-farm payrolls data (Mar 7) could sway global risk appetite; Q3 results from HDFC Bank, Infosys, and Reliance Industries. INR/USD movement and crude oil prices remain swing factors.
