Friday saw broad-based selling — over 400 Nifty 500 stocks declined, with FMCG, auto components and MFIs under pressure. Nifty 50 slipped below its 200-DMA and 25,200, with the monthly trend turning weak and 24,600 seen as the next key support. As per market grapevine, rising promoter supply and IPO focus by large players are keeping cash stocks subdued, leading to cautious retail sentiment.
