Big Updates On Market :- Last week's market bloodbath wasn't random. Here’s what happened & what it means for your portfolio: 1/ The Damage: Sensex crashed 2.43% (↓2032 pts). The top 10 firms lost a staggering ₹2.51 Lakh Crore in market cap. Only HUL (+₹12,311 Cr) survived the rout. 2/ The Triggers: A perfect storm of: • Weak global cues & rising US bond yields • Relentless FII selling • A falling ₹ • Tepid corporate results 3/ Biggest Losers: • RIL: ↓₹96,960 Cr • ICICI Bank: ↓₹48,644 Cr • HDFC Bank: ↓₹22,923 Cr (Bharti, TCS, L&T, Bajaj Fin, SBI, Infosys also bled). 4/ The Silver Lining: HUL's gain signals a flight to defensive, non-cyclical stocks. This is a classic risk-off move. 5/ What Next? Volatility will stay high with the Budget & Fed in focus. Strategy: Avoid panic selling. Use dips to review your portfolio. Focus on sectors with strong fundamentals & clear earnings visibility. Defensive sectors may see relative strength. #StockMarket #Sensex #Investing #MarketAnalysis #Budget2026
