Dividend yield is not just an investor’s tool. At certain points in the market, it becomes just as relevant – sometimes even more so – for traders. Yes, traders.

Each group is reacting to its own cues, but collectively they create the reflexive bounce that turns weakness into opportunity for traders.

Dividend yield: There is more to it than meets the eye, both for investors & traders, especially in volatile times. 11 stocks to look at
These days the Nifty and Sensex tend to slip into volatility every second week. Given the tariff situation, we don't know for how long this will continue.
