Market rebounds 2% amidst favorable cues, Banking sector continues to underperformer

By Ajit Mishra 

Markets rebounded after spending two weeks in a corrective phase and gained ~2%, thanks to favorable cues. The tone was positive for most of the week citing favorable global cues and buying in select heavyweights however underperformance of banking majors continues to weigh on the sentiment. 

Among the benchmark indices, Nifty managed to retest its record high but eventually settled at 21,853.80 levels. All the key sectors participated in the move wherein energy, metal and auto were among the top performers.

We expect volatility to remain high in the coming week as well and the focus will be on earnings and RBI meet for cues. On the global front, the steady uptrend in the US markets will continue to favor the bulls and we maintain our target of the 39,000 mark for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA).

On the domestic front, Nifty has been maintaining a positive tone amid the consolidation phase and needs a decisive close above 22,150 to mark the next leg of the upmove towards 22,500+ else range bound bias would continue.

 While all the key sectors are playing their part, consistency in the banking majors would be critical for a steady uptrend. Meanwhile, traders should continue their focus on sectors/themes like energy, auto, IT, metal & pharma which are playing out well and stay selective in midcap and smallcap space.

Madden 25's Newest Battle Pass Is A Confusing Unforced Error

Madden NFL is touted as having new and exciting presentation elements with every new installment in the series. These elements, such as commentary, field-level camera work, and halftime shows, are inconsistent at best and tend to leave a lot to be desired, especially when you compare them to the same aspects of games like NBA 2K and MLB The Show. But the latest presentation gaffe in Madden 25 feels like a strangely unforced error.
