Normally tracks NIFTY 50 at a correlation of 0.52; over the last 30 sessions that has run at 0.47 (0.5 standard deviations from its own norm).

Over 90 sessions it has underperformed NIFTY METAL by 0.8 percentage points, and lagged it over the last 30 by 9.9. The strength belongs largely to the sector theme rather than the stock. It has also decoupled from NIFTY METAL relative to its own norm (2.2 SD).
