Tech Rally & Banking Caution: Why a Balanced Portfolio Matters Today
Today's market split reveals a classic bifurcation—IT stocks soared 2.4%+ while banking and PSU names retreated. For investors, this is a reminder that single-sector bets amplify risk. A diversified SIP approach across IT, banking, and defensive sectors helps ride out volatility without chasing daily momentum. With rupee stability and steady FII flows, now's a good time to lock in systematic long-term allocations rather than react to sector swings.
