Sector rotation and Stage-2 breadth

Information Technology led all sectors on the day, up 3.3%, though over three months it remains one of the weakest sectors with only a 2.5% return. Real Estate was the second-best sector today at plus 1.4% and continues to dominate the medium-term picture — up 10.2% over one month and 29.4% over three months. Materials added 1.0% on the day.

The Stage-2 advancing cohort now stands at 34.7% of the NSE universe, widening by 1.2 over five days, 13.5 over 20 days, and 28 over 60 days. Over the last five sessions, 58 stocks moved from Stage 1 into Stage 2 against 23 moving from Stage 2 into Stage 3 — a net of plus 35. Health Care, Financials, and Materials are the sectors where the Stage-2 cohort is expanding fastest over the past 20 days, with Health Care already at 46.8% Stage-2 participation. Seven golden crosses printed today against one death cross.
