Synopsis
Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Investments, says the recovery still looks like a narrow largecap-led bounce, even as the 18% surge in Nifty IT points to the early stages of a possible leadership cycle. He also assesses Swiggy’s rebound prospects and names his top stock ideas for the week.
The Nifty’s 2% October rally may be masking a deeper weakness in the broader market, with fewer than four in 10 Nifty 500, midcap and smallcap stocks holding above their 10-day moving averages.
