💡 Investor Takeaway:
Markets remained under pressure with Nifty breaking a crucial 25,200 level, spooked by weak tech earnings, auto correction, and global tariff uncertainty. Kotak Bank’s modest gain came after block deals indicated buying interest from long-only institutions. Meanwhile, HUL stood out with a sharp rally following a leadership change, which was well-received by investors.
