Analysis: Reasons Behind the Moves

• FMCG Sector Rebound and Defensive Inflows: Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) stocks witnessed strong demand after undergoing four consecutive sessions of losses. The bounce from oversold territory drove gains in defensive heavyweights, led by Tata Consumer Products, Nestle India, and ITC, as investors rotated into defensive names amid broader market volatility.
• Headwinds and Caution in IT Stocks: Information technology shares faced pronounced selling pressure, making the IT sector one of the primary underperformers of the session. Heavyweights Wipro, TCS, and Infosys slid as market participants exercised caution ahead of the US Federal Reserve's policy decision, alongside concerns over elevated US bond yields and global macroeconomic uncertainty.
• Overall Market Dynamics: The benchmark index staged a technical bounce from oversold conditions following a sharp sell-off in the previous session. While easing crude prices from recent peaks provided initial sentiment relief, persistent Middle East tensions and pre-policy apprehension kept a cap on gains across risk-sensitive sectors.
