The Indian Nifty has seen gains of around 7% this quarter, largely driven by financials hitting record highs, with a focus on consolidation following a sharp rally. Aamar Deo Singh, Head Advisory at Angel One, says that while it is positive to observe smaller stocks in the midcap and small-cap sectors performing well, for any significant shift to bear market, frontline stocks need to be involved, bringing depth and instilling investor confidence. In other recent news, the real estate sector has seen a remarkable 26% surge in share price over Q2 2023, reflecting renewed investor interest.
