Dhanteras special: Gold beats stocks or Nifty takes the lead? Gold vs Nifty 50 returns in Samvat 2082 compared

A monetary policy development with market-wide reach.

· LiveMint Markets

Indian equities endured volatility in Samvat 2082 amid geopolitical tensions, oil-price swings and inflation concerns. A late rally lifted the Nifty 50 more than 10% in seven sessions, but the index is still set to finish the year down about 3.24%.

Rate decisions ripple straight into banks, NBFCs and every rate-sensitive sector — from real estate to autos.

Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.

  • A market-wide development: it reaches beyond any single stock.
