India’s position in the eyes of global fund managers has turned notably cautious. In Bank of America’s August 2026 survey, India emerged as Asia’s least-preferred equity market, with fund managers turning net 32% underweight.

The concerns go beyond market sentiment. High valuations relative to earnings, growth worries, limited listed-market exposure to the AI theme and slower reform momentum are weighing on investor preferences.

At the same time, improving corporate earnings and a return of foreign inflows offer some positives. The contrast highlights an important point: global investors may be cautious on Indian equities even as the underlying domestic growth and earnings story remains constructive.

Whether this cautious positioning proves temporary or signals a broader shift in global allocation will be worth watching.

Weekly Market Outlook

Our Strategic Advisor, Mr. Sunil Subramaniam, reviews a choppy week for Indian markets, with domestic institutional buying providing strong support despite inconsistent FII activity.

FIIs ended the week with around ₹1,600 crore of buying, while DIIs bought nearly ₹17,000 crore, helping the broader market, particularly small caps and micro caps, outperform large caps.

What to watch this week?
-> NSE and BSE month-end expiry and its impact on market volatility
-> US long-term bond yields and inflation data
-> Jackson Hole Symposium and signals on the Fed's future policy direction
-> Nvidia's earnings and its implications for AI and IT stocks
-> India's GDP data
-> FCNR(B) inflows and their impact on rupee stability

With major domestic triggers largely behind us, global cues, month-end expiry and Fed expectations are likely to shape market direction this week.

Key takeaway: Strong DII support and healthy FCNR(B) inflows could help keep the broader market resilient, while global rates and Fed signals remain key sources of volatility.

India’s equity market has seen a sharp divergence across sectors in 2026. Pharma, Metal and Healthcare have delivered strong gains, while IT, FMCG and Oil & Gas have remained under pressure.

The gap between the strongest and weakest sectors is substantial, with Nifty Pharma gaining 16.38% while Nifty IT has declined 17.23%.

Sector leadership has therefore been a major differentiator in returns this year, with very different trends playing out across industries.

Weekly Market Outlook

Our Strategic Advisor, Mr. Sunil Subramaniam, reviews a largely flat week for Indian markets, with a slight negative bias despite the absence of major negative triggers.

The earnings season remained encouraging, with year-on-year profit growth of nearly 11% in large caps, 22% in mid caps and 33% in small caps, despite elevated crude prices.

What to watch this week?
-> MSCI rebalancing-related stock activity
-> Brent crude price movements
-> Global inflation, labour data and Fed rate expectations
-> FII positioning, with short positions still elevated

With earnings proving stronger than expected and global rate-cut expectations improving, the market could gradually reflect stronger underlying fundamentals.

Key takeaway: Barring a sharp rise in crude prices, markets may remain in consolidation with an upward bias.
