Nifty traded in a lacklustre manner and ended almost unchanged, taking a breather after the recent surge.
After an initial uptick, the Nifty index hovered within a narrow range for most of the session and finally closed at 25,953.85.
Participants should continue to focus on stock selection and use this consolidation phase to accumulate quality names across sectors, except IT, which continues to face pressure.
Within the broader market, preference remains for midcap stocks, with selective exposure to smallcaps based on relative strength and risk-reward.
