Nifty snaps four-day losing streak; midcaps, smallcaps outperform
Nifty snapped a four-session losing streak, gaining 153 points to close at 22,753.
Except for Nifty Media and Consumer Durables, all sectoral indices closed higher, with Metal, Cement, Pharma and Healthcare at the forefront of the advance.
After last week’s sharp sell-off, the broader markets staged a pullback, with Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 rising 1.2% and 1.4%, respectively.
Market breadth strengthened, with the BSE advance–decline ratio climbing sharply to 1.21, signaling renewed buying interest in mid- and small-cap stocks following last week’s steep correction.
The Indian rupee fell for a third straight session, losing 25 paise to close at 95.19 against the US dollar, pressured by weaker Asian currencies and rising domestic bond yields.

As traditional advantages weaken and growth becomes increasingly fragmented across categories, companies may need to rethink how they build and sustain their competitive edge.
In this episode, Nitin Gupta, who covers FMCG and Alcoholic Beverages at HDFC Securities, discusses the factors driving FMCG valuations, the challenges facing established players and why data and AI-driven insights could emerge as the next big competitive moats.
