On today's market Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking noted that despite optimism around policy reforms and supportive domestic factors, the market appears to be entering a consolidation phase. "That said, trading opportunities continue to emerge across sectors. However, the broader outlook may remain cautious ahead of the U.S. Fed meeting and sustained foreign institutional outflows. We recommend maintaining a positive yet cautious stance, with an emphasis on stock selection aligned to rotational sectoral trends and themes such as defense and railways for long positions," Mishra added.
