🔄 Other Financial Names

🛒 Mid/Small-Caps & Other Sectors
- Sector performance is mixed, with strength in consumer-tech and financial smaller-cap plays offset by weakness elsewhere; eight of thirteen sectors are negative.
📈 Technical & Market Structure

- Bank Nifty dropped below the 57,000 round number; near-term support may come in at 56,700–56,800.
- Financials have lost some steam after recent push; watch for stabilization around Fin Nifty 26,900–27,000.
🌍 Global & Macro Cues
- Rupee & Yields – Decline in U.S. Treasury yields (4.35%) helped the rupee recover from near ₹86.30 to ₹86.27.

🔔 Intraday Watchlist
- Eternal & Swiggy – Key for momentum in consumer-tech; any follow-through could lift related names.
- HDFC / ICICI Banks – Track for post-earnings consolidation or reversal.
- BSE & Angel One – Potential breakout plays after Jane Street news.
- Nifty Levels – A break below 25,000 could trigger downside; a reclaim above 25,150 may revive bulls.
✅ Mid‑Day Takeaway
Markets are modestly negative mid-session, erasing early gains after a brief rally. Consumer-tech names like Eternal and Swiggy are outperforming, while financials give up some ground. Macro-wise, rupee stabilization and India–U.S. trade talks are setting the tone. Technically, Nifty 25,000–25,150 remains the key battleground. The afternoon session will hinge on whether financials regain footing or broader market flows shift.
