Mid, smallcaps likely to outperform in September; Nifty seen range-bound: Analysts

September historically favors mid- and small-cap stocks over large-caps. Analysts anticipate this trend continuing, expecting limited upside for the Nifty. Heavyweight sectors show recent weakness, and foreign investor selling has resumed. Domestic fund flows remain concentrated in mid- and small-cap stocks. Market action is expected to remain stock-specific until fresh triggers emerge.
