What to watch
- ITC dividend/demerger or cigarette-tax news that could sustain or break the rally
- Future Group insolvency filings, lender auctions, or auditor going-concern flags
- Nifty/Sensex breadth (number of 52-week highs vs lows) as rotation health check
- FII flow data and rupee/rate moves that drive consumer-staple bid
- Q results from Patanjali Foods, Vedant Fashions, Indian Hotels confirming earnings momentum
- Trim tactical exposure near ITC 52-week high; wait for consolidation before adding
- Avoid catching-a-falling-knife trades in Future trio; treat as event-driven distressed only
- Overweight cash-rich FMCG/consumer discretionary with pricing power (ITC, Patanjali, Vedant, Indian Hotels)
- Monitor Future Group creditor/NCLT disclosures for restructuring or delisting cues
