πŸ“Š Summary:

The week was all about contrasts, while banks and financials offered pockets of strength, sharp cuts in IT, media, and consumption dragged sentiment. Investors stayed on the sidelines, wary of weak earnings surprises and sector-specific pressures. With Q1 results gaining momentum, stock-level differentiation is likely to rise, and the focus will remain on margin guidance, demand trends, and global cues heading into August.
