OUTLOOK
Equity market closed trading activities for today negative, as sell-off was seen across four major market sectors, led by the Consumer goods sector, which declined by 1.01%. We expect cautious trading to continue through the week, as investors react to the recent Interest rate hike by the Apex bank and rising inflation.
