  • Bank, Capital Goods Surge: Nifty Bank up 0.53% and capital goods higher, helping set a firm tone. Strong credit data and capex revival underpin these sectors.
  • IT Lags: Nifty IT down 0.18%, as global tech sector sentiment and results from sector leaders remain mixed.
  • Steady Broader Markets: Smallcap and midcap indices post modest gains, suggesting selective risk appetite among investors.
  • Defensives Edge Up: FMCG, healthcare, and oil & gas rise slightly as investors maintain exposure to safety sectors.

What to Watch

  • Support Levels: Nifty 50 support seen near 25,100; resistance at 25,220–25,250. Watch for banking and auto stock momentum for further direction.
  • Stock Focus: Keep an eye on Axis Bank, Larsen & Toubro, Tata Steel, and TCS for high-impact moves as earnings season progresses.
  • Macro Triggers: Global signals remain neutral; traders await US Fed comments and domestic earnings for clues on the next big move.

Outlook:
The short-term trend appears bullish for banks and cap goods, while technology stocks remain at risk for further profit-taking. Defensive sectors could cushion any intraday volatility, but leadership from financials is key for sustained gains.
