As global trade tensions ripple outward from Washington and a weakening rupee compounds domestic unease, Indian equity markets find themselves in a familiar posture of cautious restraint — neither breaking down nor breaking free. In moments like these, when geopolitical forces dwarf individual conviction, markets do not so much move as they wait, and the wisdom available to participants shrinks to the discipline of defined levels and measured risk. Tuesday's session in Mumbai is less a story of opportunity than of navigation — the art of finding footing on uncertain ground.
