Market Insight
The weekly decline of 0.51% reflects a period of consolidation after recent gains, with the index facing resistance near the 6,900 level. Despite the overall negative performance, Information Technology showed remarkable resilience with minimal losses, continuing its leadership role. The concentration of top gainers in Technology and Health Care sectors suggests selective investor interest remains strong in these areas.
Investors should monitor whether the current consolidation represents a healthy pause before further advances or the beginning of a broader pullback. The significant underperformance of Real Estate and Materials sectors warrants attention, as these may present contrarian opportunities if economic fundamentals improve.
