Stock Market Outlook: Investors wondering why their stock portfolios are not rising despite the recent rally in the benchmark Nifty 50 may be overlooking one crucial factor: the market's gains are concentrated in a handful of heavyweight stocks, while midcaps, smallcaps and microcaps continue to struggle.
