What This Means for Investors

IT stocks remain the market’s torchbearer — keep exposure but watch for profit-booking near highs. FII buying is a strong positive, reinforcing global confidence in India’s growth story. Media & Pharma drags highlight sector rotation — avoid over-concentration. Macro cues from Jackson Hole could dictate near-term volatility — staggered positioning advised.
