Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended Tuesday’s trading session on a higher note, supported by gains in Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv and SBI. After making an optimistic start, soon index trimmed most of its gains, as investors were cautious with data from project tracker the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) showing that new investment projects announced in the manufacturing sector declined in the three months ended June 2023. Some concern also came with private report stating that white-collar hiring in India witnessed 3 per cent decline in June as sectors such as IT, Retail, BPO, Education, FMCG and Insurance also showed cautious hiring sentiments.
However, in early afternoon session, index extended its gains and traded near day’s high point. Sentiments got some support as provisional data by the Reserve Bank of India showed India's services exports in May climbed 7.7% on year to $27.06 billion, while imports rose 2% to $15.5 billion. In last leg of trade, index continued to trade on a higher note, as some support also came after India's G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant asserted that there is no shortage of funds for good startups with strong business models. He said the innovation and startup ecosystem is strongly positioned to find solutions to challenges facing the world today.
Traders were seen piling up positions in PSU Bank, IT and Media, while selling was witnessed in Oil & Gas, Auto, and Realty. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Bajaj Finance, Punjab National Bank and Bajaj Finserv. On the other hand, the top losers were Eicher Motors, IDFC First Bank and Tata Communications. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 19400 - 19600 calls and 18450 - 18600 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
