Profit-Booking Pulls Nifty Below 25,800 as Volatility Rises
The Nifty 50 slipped below 25,800 intraday after intensified profit-booking in IT and metal stocks, even as banking names attempted to stabilize the index during late trade. India VIX climbed nearly 4%, indicating heightened near-term volatility. Broader market sentiment remained cautious ahead of key macro data and global cues. Analysts noted that rotation into defensives and financials partially offset the pressure from heavyweights. 
Market participants expect fluctuating movements until clarity emerges around global yields, oil prices, and domestic inflation indicators.
