Outlook
The 6.16 percent weekly gain reflects strong institutional inflows and sector rotation into premium and dividend-yielding stocks.
With turnover rising sharply and breadth improving, market sentiment remains positive heading into the new week. However, bond market softness and selective profit-taking suggest investors are rebalancing portfolios amid shifting macroeconomic expectations.
