Summary
Hosts Matt Rogers and Bow and Yang analyze India's pre-market setup for Nifty expiry and an MSCI rebalance, highlighting a volatile reversal driven by IT stocks.

The episode outlines a trading range of 24,066 to 24,285, warning that the recent rally lacked broad market breadth and advising caution against naked shorting amid rising global volatility.
