In the coming weeks or months, several stocks and sector indices may revisit the lows seen on June 4th. This potential downturn could be driven by various market and economic factors, leading to a retest of those previous lows.

BREAKING: 🇮🇳 INVESTORS HAVE ABANDONED INDIAN STOCK MARKET

India is now the least preferred Asian stock market, per BBG.

Foreign inflows collapsed over 99% in 2024, falling from ₹1.71 lakh crore ($20.6 billion) to just ₹427 crore ($50 million).

They turned negative in 2025, with a record $18.9 billion leaving Indian stocks, the worst year ever for foreign withdrawals.

Limited AI exposure, expensive valuations and weak growth concerns pushed investors towards China, US and other Asian markets.

The selloff accelerated after the US-Iran war, with 2026 outflows rising 48% from the previous year.

Moderna ($MRNA) just had its best trading day EVER up 100%+.
Cause: Phase 3 trial (with Merck) showed their personalized mRNA cancer vaccine + Keytruda cut melanoma recurrence risk. First-ever positive Phase 3 result for any mRNA cancer therapy.

[Evan @StockMKTNewz]

There is some random person in the world who got really lucky (or knew something) and is up by more than 500,000% on Moderna $MRNA calls today 😅

Life gets better when you isolate and lock in is half-true. Short-term deep focus + chosen solitude boosts productivity and clarity. Chronic isolation raises mortality risk ~32% (large meta-analyses).
Balance > total withdrawal.
Social connection still protects health.

CAS turned expiry into a private party.
Trade all day.
Then the big boys decide the close in a thin auction.
52 points after 3:15 is not discovery.
It’s robbery with better branding.
Two lakh crore derivatives settled by a few thousand crore auction.
Brilliant design.

HDFC Bank continues to trade near its 52-week lows around 727.
One-year return remains deeply negative while management indicates NIM recovery may take another 2–3 years.
The market appears to be pricing in a longer consolidation phase.

Big liquidity pools sitting at ~64K and ~62K, that's where the magnets are.
Price chopping around 63K right now, no clear direction.
Whichever side breaks first, expect a fast move toward the nearest cluster.
