📊📑 Important Observations and Market Sentiments: Editor Special
The market saw volatility as investors booked profits amid valuation concerns and weakness in Asian markets. Large-cap stocks underperformed, with the Nifty unable to breach the 25,000 resistance, reflecting a lack of positive triggers and subdued FII activity.
Midcaps and Smallcaps held up better, supported by stronger-than-expected Q4 earnings and moderating premium valuations. Blue-chip earnings disappointed, adding pressure on heavyweights.
SEBI’s new rule on derivatives expiry—requiring BSE and NSE to pick either Tuesday or Thursday—marks the end of the expiry war, potentially reducing volatility in the future. Domestic macros (RBI’s 6.00% repo rate, low inflation) remain supportive, but global cues and earnings will drive near-term sentiment.
❓ DO YOU KNOW?
SEBI’s decision to standardize equity derivatives expiry to a single day (Tuesday or Thursday) by November 2025 aims to reduce market volatility, ending a two-year tussle between BSE and NSE.
