Trading Guide: 
Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments stated,the Indian equity market witnessed profit booking after a sustained multi-session rally, driven by anticipation of the FED entering an easing cycle. Positive developments in U.S.-India trade negotiations and improved global liquidity conditions continued to offer a cushion to investor sentiment.Against the backdrop of strengthening domestic fundamentals and a weakening U.S. dollar, the environment appears conducive for a potential return of FIIs, following a prolonged phase of net outflows. Sectoral rotation was evident, with PSU banks, metals, and pharma stocks leading the gains, while IT, FMCG, and private banking stocks lagged.
Market experts recommended five shares to buy on Friday-Zen Technologies Limited, Usha Martin, Hariom Pipe Industries, Hyundai Motor Co, and HFCL.
