🧠 EduInvestor Take:
“Markets today felt like a Monday that forgot it was Tuesday — sleepy on the surface, stormy underneath. And defence stocks are now officially the new FMCG — except with missiles.”
🔮 Tomorrow’s Watchlist:
- RBI commentary on liquidity
- Global market cues (watch out for US CPI data)
- Defence + PSU momentum
- Infra & auto earnings season peeks
Drop a 📉 in the comments if today hurt.
Or a 🚀 if you’re still holding BEL like a legend.
