Market Outlook
The session reflected a risk-off tone, with investors trimming exposure in financials and select large-cap names. However, strong stock-specific buying in energy, microfinance, and select industrial names indicates that opportunities continue to exist beneath the surface. Going forward, market direction is likely to remain sensitive to global cues and sectoral rotation.
We continue to advise investors to stay disciplined, focus on fundamentally strong businesses, and avoid reactionary decisions during short-term market fluctuations.
