Sector Money Flow: 25/8/2026

Sector Momentum and Money Flow – The market’s breadth was dominated by Pharma, which posted the strongest gain at +0.87 % supported by 18 advancing stocks against only 7 decliners. This robust net‑advancer count signaled the heaviest inflow of capital, outpacing all other groups. IT followed with a modest +0.29 % rise, buoyed by 19 advancers versus 11 decliners, while Energy, Infra, and FMCG each posted modest positive returns (0.24 %–0.09 %) on relatively balanced but still positive breadth (12/8, 11/9, 11/9 respectively). Banks were essentially flat (+0.02 %) with an even split of 10 advancers and 10 decliners, indicating a neutral stance from investors.

Sectors Under Pressure – The downside was led by Metal, which suffered the steepest decline at ‑0.63 %, despite a mixed breadth of 7 advancers against 13 decliners, highlighting a pronounced sell‑off. Media (‑0.4 %) and Realty (‑0.2 %) also broke down, each with 7 advancers and 8 decliners, reflecting weakening sentiment in discretionary and property‑related assets. Auto turned negative (‑0.14 %) on a tighter spread (9 advancers, 11 decliners), suggesting the sector’s momentum is eroding. Collectively, these four sectors accounted for the bulk of the market’s downward pressure, contrasting sharply with the net‑positive flow observed in the leading defensive and technology‑oriented groups.
