FMCG resilience suggests relative strength in defensive stocks, while PSU Bank gains indicate selective buying despite tighter monetary conditions. Conversely, weakness in Realty and Auto reflects concerns around financing costs and demand sensitivity. The RBI’s repo rate hike could further influence credit growth, consumption and corporate borrowing costs, making sector-specific earnings trends crucial for market direction.
