📊 GoalFi Retail View

The rally broadened this week with PSU Banks, Realty, and Defence lifting indices, while mid and smallcaps added momentum. FMCG’s softness hints at rotation away from defensives into cyclicals and high-growth themes. With volatility subdued, retail flows are chasing opportunities in tech, infra, and financials. The setup remains constructive, though pockets of profit-taking in consumption suggest selectivity will be key.
