  • Citi Cuts Nifty 50 Target to 26,000 Citing Geopolitical and AI Risks

Positives include strong domestic demand and steady domestic flows. Market watchers should monitor IT sector slowdown, domestic fund flows, and shifts in AI beneficiary roles. Citi favors Financials, Telecom, Healthcare, Defence, and Utilities while underweighting IT Services, Staples, and Metals. Hitachi Energy joins Citi's top picks with hopes for easing West Asia tensions and FII outflow stabilization.
