Here’s a list of the top 5 gainers and losers this week in the large-cap space.

With the Indian equity market trading firmly in the bear grip, all eyes are set on Union Budget session, which will be held on 1st February. Given that the general elections are only a year away, it will be interesting to see whether the government will give-in to pre-election temptations and announce giveaways or bring in growth sustaining reforms. Besides the budget session, the federal reserve meeting is also set to take place next week.

Looking at the significant developments this week, Indian stock markets have shifted to a T+1 settlement cycle, starting from today. With this, India becomes the second country after China to implement the one-day cycle. Adoption of this cycle will enhance operational efficiency, enable faster fund remittances, share delivery, and ease for stock market participants. As many as 256 large-cap and top mid-cap stocks, including Nifty and Sensex stocks, will come under the T+1 settlement from today.

Moving on, in the last 4 trading sessions, the frontline index S&P BSE Sensex plunged by 0.69%, going from the level of 60,621.77 on 20 January to 60,205.06 on 25 January. Similarly, NIFTY declined by 0.75%, going from 18,027.65 on 20 January to 17,891.95 on 25 January.

Let us have a look at the top gainers and losers in the large-cap space during the last 5 trading sessions (between 20 January and 25 January).
