We are finally seeing some signs of exhaustion with front line stocks like Dmart, IRCTC correcting significantly, We would advise investors to remain cautious in this over stretched markets.

The broad indices also corrected over this week and these are early signs that the market needs to take a breather before resuming its upward trajectory.

Nifty & Bank Nifty

Both Nifty & Bank Nifty look bearish to us and this week has shown significant weakness in both the indices.

Such corrections are part and parcel of the markets and as investors we should be waiting patiently for opportunities to deploy capital.

Nifty FMCG

This week FMCG stocks have corrected considerably having said this, as the broader markets correct, FMCG index provides the cushion for capital to be parked while waiting for the correction to play out.
