How to read this table
Returns are for the official NSE sector index. 1D (6 Nov) is the index's move; the longer returns and the rest of the table are as of the last close. % above 200-DMA counts the sector's tracked stocks trading above their 200-day moving average, which shows whether a sector's move is broad or carried by a few heavyweights. Median P/E is across profitable companies with a market cap above ₹500 Cr. Rotation is the sector's quadrant on the relative rotation graph against the Nifty 50: Leading, Weakening, Lagging or Improving (see the method).
