What this means for investors
The small declines suggest a day of consolidation rather than a sharp sell-off. Investors appeared cautious, balancing profit-taking with selective buying. Moves of this size are common when markets await fresh economic data, corporate results, or global cues.
Looking ahead
Traders will likely keep an eye on upcoming domestic indicators and international developments for direction. For now, the market mood is steady with a slight bias toward caution.
