Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services said, “Despite persistent selloffs by FIIs, the benchmark indices recorded only a minor loss, as India's October PMI data continued to indicate healthy growth, which also supports the RBI’s growth guidelines for FY25. The broader market exhibited a mixed response due to valuation corrections in sectors such as PSUs and banking & financials. Meanwhile, the FMCG sector faced declines attributed to delayed demand recovery and margin pressures.”
