What’s Fueling the Bounce in Mid/Small Cap Stocks
Closing out multiple days of losses, today’s rally appears rooted in renewed buying confidence and bottom-fishing. With PLI gains, strong news flow from EV front-runners like Ola Electric, and positive catalysts in financial markets (notably BSE and MCX), smaller-cap stocks found the traction they needed.
Analysts suggest that if this early-week momentum continues, mid- and small-cap equities could remain in the spotlight.
