Same market, same month. One set of sectors lifted, others got squeezed.
In August, the Nifty 50 fell 1.1% while the Midcap 100 rose 2.2%.
Nifty Metal rose 3.8% for the month as commodity prices stayed high. FMCG fell 6.3% on costlier palm oil and crude linked inputs.
Costly oil and metals may lift the companies that sell commodities, and may squeeze the ones that buy them, like automobiles and consumer goods.
A single index level hides how differently the parts of the market move. That is the case for spreading money across asset classes: equity for long term growth, debt for potential steadiness, and multi asset options for balance, in a mix that suits your goals and risk comfort.
