The Indian Markets closed the week on a flat note. IT and pharma sectors ended in the red while the realty and auto stocks gained. Weak global cues amid fear of an aggressive Fed rate hike, robust economic (GDP) growth, and Reliance Industries' annual general meeting were the key highlights of the week.

Rising commodity prices have widened the India's fiscal deficit to INR 3408.3 billion in the April-July 2022 period from INR 274.2 billion a year earlier. The only positive data previous week was the net tax receipts that rose 15% year-on-year to INR 7859 billion as tax collections grew while total expenditure was 12.2% higher at INR 11267 billion.
