Market Overview

Risk-On — broad-based gains, falling volatility and positive breadth confirm the constructive tone. Nifty 50 ended at 24206.90 (+1.02%), Sensex at 77572.44 (+1.08%) and Bank Nifty at 58045.90 (+1.39%). India VIX dropped 7.71% to 12.33, signalling easing fear. Market breadth was decisively positive with 1562 advances versus 727 declines. DIIs supported the move with net purchases of ₹2058 Cr while FIIs remained net sellers of ₹533 Cr, per NSE data.

Sector Rotation

Capital rotated into defensives and rate-sensitive pockets. Utilities surged 7.94%, Diversified 6.14% and Realty 3.33%. IT added 1.71% and Forest Materials 1.69%. On the flip side, Media Entertainment & Publication fell 0.65%, Textiles declined 0.43% while Telecommunication managed only +0.05%. The rotation suggests money is favouring sectors with visible earnings visibility and lower beta over discretionary consumption names.

Top Movers

Global cues, RBI policy commentary and Q1 results from mid-tier IT names will set the tone for the week ahead.
