🧠 EduInvesting Take
- LIC is back from the dead with a 7.7% rally. Pensioners rejoice.
- IFCI continues its mad run — no reason, just retail momentum and PSU FOMO.
- Smallcap sugar stocks like Triveni are buzzing — smells like ethanol stories are back on the burner.
- ITI Ltd — Telecom’s forgotten child — quietly surging on PSU whispers.
On the flip side:
- Aurobindo & Gujarat Fluoro taking the beating stick.
- Auto parts sector looking tired, with Bosch and Mah Scooters lagging.
- Consumer durables weak across board, possibly monsoon-delay related.
