Analysts Advise Caution as Markets Eye Macroeconomic Data

Ahead of weekend sessions, analysts recommend limited exposure as investors await key domestic macro data. Sector rotation continues with Private Banks, FMCG, and Media showing resilience while Oil & Gas and Healthcare remain flat. Global cues also stay mixed amid U.S. CPI expectations. Broking houses such as ICICI Direct and Angel One suggest maintaining stop-losses at crucial index levels while focusing on large-cap stability. The upcoming release of inflation and fiscal balance figures could influence next-week sentiment.
