Nifty Midcap 100 Hits Record High Amid Retail Buying and Strong Earnings Growth
The Nifty Midcap 100 index reached a record high, driven by stronger earnings growth in mid- and small-cap companies compared to large-caps, which remained range-bound amid sustained foreign institutional investor (FII) selling. Retail investors and domestic mutual fund inflows have supported the broader market rally, particularly in sectors like financials, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods. Analysts caution that while momentum is strong, a short-term pause may occur. Auto stocks also show selective strength amid this trend.
