How This Affects You

You probably have been watching Kotak Mahindra Bank share price very carefully. With the announcement that SMBC, a large investor, will be unloading its shareholdings, that raises questions about the short term price action. Given that there may be selling pressure, there also may be other institutional buying interest to help blunt some volatility. 

On the other hand, SMBC's reinvestment in Yes Bank may also influence the larger sector perceptions about capital recycling and confidence in private banking.

Broader Banking Sector Movement

You also want to assess the overall market. Kotak Mahindra Bank share price is up today in comparison, and while it pulled back a couple times over the course of the year, it is holding up well. The momentum in the sector, particularly banking and financials, is usually driven by block deals and investors repositioning themselves.
