Nifty’s next rally needs two battered warhorses to wake up. Which one will revive first?

For a continued uptrend, India's Nifty index relies heavily on the resurgence of the banking and IT sectors. Banks are poised for a quicker recovery owing to factors like enhanced liquidity and credit growth. Meanwhile, while IT firms navigate the complexities posed by AI, they still present attractive valuation opportunities for selective investments. Foreign investor activity remains pivotal in determining market trends, with small and mid-cap stocks currently gaining traction.
