📌 CapitalKeeper Insight
The August series has finally found its footing after a cautious start. With Nifty reclaiming key support levels and PSU banks leading the charge, the focus now shifts to RBI’s rate stance and forward guidance.
While Bank Nifty and Sensex appear structurally strong, Fin Nifty remains a drag. This divergence suggests traders should stay selective and avoid overexposure to NBFCs or high-beta IT.
