🧠 FININ2MIN BOTTOM LINE
✅ India: ~1% sell-off confirms fragile sentiment after recent volatility.
✅ Global: relief rallies exist, but macro uncertainty dominates.
✅ Commodities: gold/silver strength = persistent risk hedging.
✅ Flows: FPIs remain cautious; domestic liquidity is the only stabiliser.
👉 Finin2min verdict:
This is not a crash — it’s a volatility regime shift.
Rallies are tactical; trend conviction remains weak.
