Amid this backdrop, Mishra recommends that investors adopt a selective approach, focusing on sectors displaying relative strength and preferring large-cap and large mid-cap stocks for long trades, while maintaining moderate position sizes due to the prevailing global uncertainty.
The modest gains in the Indian stock indices on November 5th reflect the cautious sentiment among investors as they await key corporate earnings and progress on trade deal negotiations, which are expected to shape the market's trajectory in the near future.
