Investor caution dominated ahead of the Q2 earnings season, as market participants reassessed valuations and growth prospects. Sectoral trends were mixed ,IT stocks outperformed on resilient demand and attractive valuations, while Auto, Banking, and FMCG faced profit-taking pressure. Heightened global uncertainties and the ongoing US government shutdown drove gold to a historical high, reflecting elevated risk aversion.
