Limited Support from Gainers

Outlook
The weakness in high-beta counters is being driven by sectoral rotation, cautious sentiment ahead of macro triggers, and reduced risk appetite. With broad-based declines and underperformance in cyclicals, the Nifty High Beta 50 remains vulnerable unless buying interest returns decisively in rate-sensitive and infrastructure-heavy sectors. Investors are advised to monitor volatility closely in the coming sessions.
