The editor's brief. A minor increase in the market basket suggests a stable demand for garments, with the top searched garment being saree, indicating a potential opportunity for a major retailer to stock up on traditional clothing. The current trends and collaborations, such as Pacsun and Ulta Beauty's beauty collaboration, may influence buying decisions for the upcoming season.

Basket: 26 names, average +1.43% on the day, 23 advancing, 3 declining.
