What would change my mind?

Commentary

Market tone: cautiously neutral. Fundamentals are broadly stable but macro and FX risk cap upside. Investors focus on provisioning and deposit dynamics; ADR liquidity produces episodic swings. Dividend yield offers support, but macro/FX sensitivity remains the primary constraint.
