Here is a list of things to watch out for on 17 November 2022

What should investors do?

The recent move in the index lacks decisiveness and shows an early sign of exhaustion too however we recommend following the trend until it reverses.

We’re seeing select heavyweights and midcap counters attracting buying interest while the rest are either trading in a range or witnessing pressure and feel it’s prudent to restrict positions and focus on overnight risk management.
