After Thursday's rally, the market took a breather and closed almost flat. The Nifty index opened slightly lower and then moved in a narrow range before closing at 18,512.75. Meanwhile, selective buying of major indices across sectors, coupled with a broader package recovery, kept participants on edge.
With the benchmark at record highs, improving broader participation will play a key role in shaping market trends. Additionally, developments in global markets will continue to weigh on sentiment. We recommend following trends and focusing on identifying themes that may evolve with current leaders.
