Nifty ends in positive terrain on Monday

21 Aug 2023 Evaluate

Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended Monday’s trading session on a higher note supported by gains in Metal, IT and Reality stocks. After making a slightly positive start, soon index slipped near neutral line, as investors were cautious after retail inflation for farm and rural workers inched up to 7.43 per cent and 7.26 per cent in July compared to 6.31 per cent and 6.16 per cent, respectively, in June this year, mainly due to higher prices of certain food items. However, index started its northward journey in late morning session, as market participants got some support after Moody’s Investors Service affirmed India’s sovereign rating at ‘Baa3’ with stable outlook and said high growth will support a gradual increase in income levels, which will further contribute to economic strength. It expects India’s economic growth to outpace all other G20 economies through at least the next two years, driven by domestic demand.  

In afternoon session, index extended its gains, as investors got support after a private report stated that a healthy growth in India's services segments has helped the country's total exports and imports of goods and services to cross the $800 billion mark during the first half of 2023, despite a slowdown in global demand. Besides, the government expects vegetable prices to start cooling off from next month with the advent of new crops in the market, but rising crude oil prices is a concern even though it is still within the tolerable zone of $90 a barrel. Finally, index finished in positive terrain with gains of 83.45 points.

Most of the sectorial indices ended in green except PSU Bank, MEDIA and Oil & Gas. The top gainers from the F&O segment were GMR Airports Infrastructure, Tata Power Company and India Cements. On the other hand, the top losers were Hindustan Copper, Indiabulls Housing Finance and Reliance Industries. 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.
