Persistent foreign fund outflows and a strengthening dollar further pressured the market. Pharma stocks also suffered following concerns over potential U.S. price regulations.

The order affects nearly 70 countries, although India was spared from further penalties over its Russian defence and energy deals. Still, the protectionist move has heightened uncertainty around a possible US-India trade agreement."The Indian equity market extended its decline for a second day, pressured by renewed tariff threats and punitive duties that could undermine India's global trade competitiveness," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Institutional Investors (FIIs) have been consistent net sellers, offloading shares worth Rs 5,588.91 crore on Thursday alone. Over the last nine sessions, cumulative FII selling has crossed Rs 27,000 crore, triggering widespread risk aversion in domestic has been further dampened by disappointing Q1 earnings and the growing dominance of short positions. FIIs have built record bearish bets, with short positions in index futures rising to 90%, the highest since March 2023. The long-to-short ratio dropped to a mere 0.11 at the start of the August series, while the Nifty rollover rate for July slipped to 75.71% from 79.53% in June."Investor sentiment weakened further as FIIs now hold the second-highest net short position in derivatives, reflecting elevated caution," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit markets led a broad global selloff on Friday as investors digested the impact of fresh U.S. tariffs and awaited key US jobs data. Equities in India's regional peers were under pressure, with the MSCI Asia-Pacific index (ex-Japan) falling 1.5%, bringing its weekly decline to around 2.7%.Japan's Nikkei slipped 0.6%, Chinese blue chips dropped 0.5%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index lost over 1%.

Wall Street futures also pointed to a subdued start, weighing further on investor risk appetite dollar index surged 2.5% during the week to climb above 100, marking a two-month high and its strongest weekly performance in nearly three years. The rally has exacerbated capital outflows from emerging markets, including India, and raised the cost of foreign debt."The sharp surge in the dollar index to 100 will nudge the FIIs to continue selling putting pressure on largecaps too. Investors can adopt a wait and watch strategy," said Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit shares came under pressure after the White House sent letters to 17 global drugmakers urging them to cut U.S. prescription prices to match international benchmarks. The letters also called for the adoption of a Most Favoured Nation (MFN) pricing model within 60 days, raising fears of increased regulatory scrutiny and margin Nifty Pharma index fell 3.3% on Friday, extending its losing streak to a third session and closing 2.9% lower for the week. Sun Pharma was the biggest drag on the Nifty 50, slipping 4.5% after Investec downgraded the stock to 'sell' from 'buy.' Other notable laggards included Aurobindo Pharma, Cipla, Lupin and Gland a technical perspective, the Nifty remains under pressure after failing to reclaim its 200-DMA on the hourly chart, despite a brief recovery on Thursday, said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, adding that the index also remained below the 50-EMA on the hourly timeframe throughout Friday's session.'On the daily chart, it has broken below the recent consolidation support at 24,600. Sentiment remains weak, with the potential for the correction to extend towards 24,400–24,450. A further decline is likely if it slips below 24,400,' De Mishra, SVP – Research at Religare Broking, said the Nifty is now approaching its next crucial support at 24,450, and a breach of this level could trigger a retest of the long-term moving average — the 200-day EMA — near 24,180. 'On the upside, the 24,800–25,000 zone is expected to act as a strong hurdle. We maintain our cautious stance and continue to recommend a hedged approach with a negative bias until clear signs of reversal emerge,' he said.

There are sufficient fertilizer stocks in the district - farmers should take only as much as they need - District Collector Adarsh Surabhi
Wanaparthi District: On Friday, the Collector conducted a surprise inspection of the Kisan Junction Fertilizer Shop in Pebbar Municipality, the Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society Office and the godown in Srirangapur Mandal. The fertilizer stocks written outside the shops, the stocks in the shop and the godown were examined. The urea stocks and D. A. P stocks were compared with the stocks stored online. The fertilizer shop owner explained that 45 kg bags of urea are being sold at Rs. 266 each and a can of nano urea at Rs. 265 each. Responding, the Collector said that action will be taken if fertilizers are sold at a price higher than the MRP price. He warned that farmers should be given fertilizers only as much as they need and not to create artificial shortages by giving more than they need. The Mandal Agriculture Officer was instructed to create awareness among farmers on the use of nano urea. The Collector advised the Mandal Agriculture Officer to conduct surprise inspections of fertilizer shops from time to time and to monitor prices. He ordered that steps be taken to ensure that there is a stock and price index board outside all fertilizer shops. He said that details of fertilizers like DAP, urea, gypsum, and phosphorus should be on the index board.
