Markets began the week on a muted note and ended nearly flat,
taking a breather after Friday’s surge. Following an initial uptick, the Nifty future
traded within a narrow range and ultimately closed at 24590 level. Sectoral
performance was mixed, with metals, energy, and IT showing decent gains, while
auto and banking lagged behind. The broader indices followed a similar pattern,
with the small-cap index performing well, gaining over one and a half percent.
The recovery in global markets is supporting the index’s
positive tone, but the underperformance of banking majors is limiting momentum.
Amid all, we recommend maintaining a “buy on dips” strategy, with a
focus on stock selection. Our preference remains for the IT and FMCG sector,
and we suggest being selective in others.
