Market tone: 🟢 Positive, but volatility remains As of the latest intraday data, Nifty 50 is around 24,279 and Sensex around 77,659. The market initially gained as crude oil prices declined and hopes of easing tensions around the Strait of Hormuz improved sentiment. 26 August is a settlement holiday, but equity trading continues; clearing/settlement is affected. One Stock to Keep on Watch: Kotak Mahindra Bank

KOTAKBANK

Current zone: ~₹415 Today's move: roughly +3.5% intraday Today's range: approximately ₹402–₹416.5. � Groww +1 Why Kotak? Strong relative performance today. Banking sector is receiving buying interest as crude prices cool Important: This is a stock to watch, not a buy/sell recommendation. After a ~3.5% intraday rise, chasing the stock at the day's high carries higher risk. Watch whether strength sustains with volume rather than assuming the move will continue
