Market Outlook

  • Markets remained range-bound with limited movement in headline indices

  • Banking and financial stocks provided relative strength

  • Broader market sentiment stayed cautious, with volatility in mid and small caps

  • Investors continue to adopt a stock-specific and selective approach

We recommend staying focused on quality businesses, balanced asset allocation, and long-term investment discipline amid near-term volatility.
