Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended Friday’s trading session on a lower note ahead of April-June earnings data of Indian companies, which expected to pour in starting next week. Index made a negative start, as investors were cautious with a study by researchers at the Reserve Bank of India stated that the surging prices of tomatoes can potentially disrupt India's inflation trajectory. Traders overlooked report stating that concerns over the performance of southwest monsoon this year eased to a large extent on July 06, with rainfall deficiency declining to just 5% from over 40% a fortnight ago and cumulative rainfall being predicted to reach normal level in the next 48 hours.
In afternoon session, index extended its losses and traded in deep red, amid the rate hike fears in the US after the strong ADP jobs data. Also, escalating US-China tensions and rising recession fears in China dented market sentiment. Traders paid no heed towards reports that the rating agency Icra has estimated securitisation volumes, originated primarily by non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) and housing finance companies (HFCs), at Rs. 53,000 crore in Q1 FY2024, reflecting a strong growth of 60 per cent over the Rs. 33,000 crore securitised in Q1 FY2023. In last leg of trade, index slipped near day’s low point and ended with cut of 0.85%.
Most of the sectorial indices ended in red except Media, PSU Bank and Auto. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Zee Entertainment Enterprises, PVR INOX and Tata Motors. On the other hand, the top losers were AU Small Finance Bank, Intellect Design Arena and Dabur India. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 19400 - 19600 calls and 18900 - 19100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
