Uncertainty & Upswings Play The Balancing Game

The recent fortnight was one of the most challenging periods for both markets and investors. While the markets remained flat during the first week, they experienced one of the steepest declines in recent times during the second week. Both the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 indices plunged by around 4.5 per cent each. The negative sentiment spread across the broader market, impacting Mid-Cap and Small-Cap stocks as well. The BSE Mid-Cap index declined by 3.03 per cent, while the BSE SmallCap index experienced a 3.33 per cent drop, reflecting the overall cautious mood among investors.
