Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty slipped for a second day on November 19 due to weak global cues and profit-booking as the Q2 earnings season concluded. While broader markets eased, IT and FMCG stocks provided some support. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) rose on securing a UK NHS contract, and Max Healthcare advanced on a major bed expansion plan and steady Q2 results. Analysts suggest a selective buy-on-dips strategy.
