Monday’s gain came on a strong HDFC Bank Q1 FY27 business update and falling crude prices.

The remainder of the week is detailed in the sections below of this Sensex weekly summary.

What Drove Wednesday’s Sensex Crash

The defining event in this Sensex weekly summary is Wednesday’s 1,677-point plunge. The United States struck more than 80 targets linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force in Iraq and Syria, after Iranian-linked forces struck three tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. The earlier ceasefire effectively collapsed, and Brent crude surged above 78 dollars a barrel on fears of supply disruption through this critical oil transit chokepoint.

Sensex fell 1,677.12 points to 76,503.60, its sharpest single-day fall in months. Banking and other rate-sensitive stocks led the decline, and India VIX spiked nearly 30 percent intraday to a high of 15.16, the clearest signal of how quickly sentiment turned during the session at the centre of this Sensex weekly summary.

Sensex Weekly Summary: Friday’s Recovery

Friday delivered the Sensex weekly summary’s most encouraging chapter. Sensex jumped 827.57 points or 1.08 percent to close at 77,593.11, its best single-day gain since the Wednesday crash, as reports emerged that Iran had reached out to Washington for negotiations. TCS’s Q1 FY27 revenue beat, up 13.9 percent year-on-year to Rs 72,275 crore, lifted IT sentiment, while Bankex gained 1.39 percent as PSU banks surged over 3 percent, their sharpest single-day move in three months.

Sensex Technical Structure: Weekly Summary View

Kunal Singla notes that despite the sharp mid-week swing, Sensex’s weekly candle is constructive for this Sensex weekly summary: the index closed well above its weekly low, forming a long lower shadow typically associated with strong buying interest at lower levels. He flags 77,000 to 77,300 as the key support zone built during Thursday and Friday’s recovery, with 78,300 to 78,600 the resistance zone that capped Tuesday’s session before the crash.

Level Type	Value
Support 1	77,300
Support 2	76,900
Resistance 1	78,300
Resistance 2	78,664 (Week High)

Sectors That Shaped the Sensex Weekly Summary

Sector rotation defined the week, according to this Sensex weekly summary:

• Banking: Hit hardest during Wednesday’s crash but led Friday’s recovery, with Bankex up 1.39 percent as PSU banks surged over 3 percent.
• IT: Volatile around Q1 FY27 earnings, with TCS‘s Friday beat lifting sentiment into the week’s close.
• Oil and Gas: The weakest sector during Wednesday’s session given its direct exposure to the crude oil spike.

Institutional Flows in the Sensex Weekly Summary

On Thursday, 9 July, FIIs were net sellers of Rs 532.86 crore in the cash segment even as DIIs bought a much larger Rs 2,057.79 crore, domestic institutions absorbing the entire foreign outflow and then some. Kunal Singla flags this DII support as a key stabilising factor behind the index’s relatively contained net weekly decline despite the mid-week shock covered in this Sensex weekly summary.
