Nifty Ends August Lower; Mid- and Small-Caps Expected to Outperform in September
In August, the Nifty 50 index ended down 1.24%, closing near 24,080, breaking a two-month winning streak. Despite a recovery from intraday lows, short-term momentum remains weak with key resistance around 24,129 and support near 24,000. Historically, September favors mid- and small-cap stocks, which have outperformed large caps in most recent years. Analysts expect limited upside for the Nifty in September, with market action likely to remain stock-specific amid foreign selling and concentrated domestic fund flows in smaller caps.
