Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended Wednesday’s trading session in a positive terrain, ahead of monthly F&O expiry. Index made a negative start amid persistent foreign fund outflows. Provisional data from the National Stock Exchange (NSE) showed that foreign institutional investors (FII) sold shares worth Rs 693.47 crore on September 26. As per a private report, FIIs have sold about $1.6 billion in Indian equities in September, the most since January 2023. The report added this trend was driven by elevated valuations in the domestic market and negative global cues.
However, in afternoon session, index erased all of its losses and traded in a positive terrain, as some relief came after the various Ministries/ Departments of Government of India have accepted more than 10,000 claims of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) under Vivad se Vishwas - I scheme aimed at providing relief to MSMEs for the COVID-19 Pandemic period. This has led to grant of more than Rs 256 crore to MSMEs and increased flow of bank credit through freeing up of guarantees. Finally, index ended near day’s high point with gains of 51.75 points, as traders got some encouragement after the government extended export benefits under the RoDTEP scheme for one more year till June 2024.
Most of the sectorial indices ended in green except Bank and Consumer Durables stocks. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Power Finance Corporation, REC and Manappuram Finance. On the other hand, the top losers were Vedanta, Gujarat Gas and Trent. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 19700 - 19900 calls and 19400 - 19600 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
