🔍 Sector Breakdown & Movers
💻 Information Technology
- IT index down 0.5%, with Tech Mahindra falling 1.5% after missing revenue estimates. Broader tech earnings continue disappointing, pulling the sector lower.

- Bank Nifty falls 0.6%. Weakness in PSU and private banks amid rising U.S. Treasury yields and profit-booking in derivatives .
🚘 Autos & Mining

🛒 FMCG, Pharma & Healthcare
- Healthcare stocks and FMCG are holding steady, providing some cushion to broader weakness.
📈 Technical Outlook

- Bank Nifty plunging through 57,000 if selling pressure continues, 56,700–56,800 is on deck.

🌍 Global & Macro Cues
- Fed uncertainty: Dollar and U.S. yields moved on speculation over Powell’s position some clarity helped, but volatility remains.
- Rupee outlook: Flat-to-weaker tone, hovering near ₹86.06/USD due to rate unease and global CNY strength.
- Tariff progress: President Trump hinted at nearing a U.S.–India trade deal, though markets await specifics before turning bullish.
- Foreign flows: Modest FII outflows in equities ($20m) offset by bond inflows, reflecting risk-off rotation .
🔔 What to Watch This Afternoon
- Tech Earnings: More IT earnings due today underperformance could deepen current correction.
- U.S. Fed Signal: Any hawkish commentary from U.S. rates or Powell updates could widen yield spreads.
- Rupee Levels: Sustain above ₹86.10/USD may impact banks and importers.
- Trade Deal Updates: Real progress or details on a tariff pact with the U.S. could pivot sentiment sharply.
✅ Mid‑Day Summary
Market mood remains cautious-to-negative today, led by IT and banking declines amid macro uncertainty. Defensive bets in healthcare, FMCG, autos, and miners serve as mild counterweights. Technically, breaking 25,100 on Nifty may lead to further downside unless global cues soften. Watch the IT space, yield moves, and trade headlines for hints of reversal.
