M-cap of top 10 valued companies declined Rs 4.95 lakh crore

NEW DELHI: The collective market capitalization of the top-10 most valued firms declined Rs 4,95,061 crore last week, reflecting the bearish equity market trend, with TCS and Reliance Industries registering the most significant losses. Meanwhile, the BSE Sensex declined by 4,091.53 points or 4.98 per cent during this period.
"The Indian equity market recorded its steepest weekly decline since June 2022, with the Nifty losing 4.77 per cent. The week began with the US Federal Reserve's announcement, which significantly altered market sentiment. Led by Chair Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve revised its outlook to only two rate cuts in 2025 instead of the previously anticipated four. This shift in policy dampened market confidence," said Pravesh Gour, senior technical analyst, Swastika Investmart Ltd.
