📊 Investor Takeaway:

Despite a largely range-bound session, PSU Banks stood out, driven by optimism over potential FDI reforms. Broader markets lacked momentum, and some pressure was visible in pharma, defence, and metals. While volatility (India VIX) declined further, indicating short-term stability, continued caution is expected ahead of key global and domestic policy cues.
