Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended Thursday’s trading session in a deep red, dragged by losses in Auto, Financial Services and Metal stocks. Index made a gap-down opening, as sentiments remained weak amid worries about rising U.S. Treasury yields and the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country is preparing for a ground invasion of Gaza. Some cautiousness also came in amid foreign fund outflows. Provisional data from the National Stock Exchange showed that foreign institutional investors sold shares worth Rs 4,236.60 crore on October 25.
Index traded near day’s low point in afternoon session, as sentiments were cautious amid private report that Indian consumer spending during this year's festival season will be slightly better than in 2022, but probably not enough to ramp up the speed of what is already the world's fastest-growing major economy. Investors overlooked report that investment in the Indian capital markets through participatory notes rose over a six-year high at Rs 1.33 lakh crore at September-end, making it the seventh consecutive monthly increase, on the back of robust macroeconomic fundamentals. Finally, index ended with losses of 264.90 points.
All the sectorial indices ended in red. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Trent, Voltas and Axis Bank. On the other hand, the top losers were Delta Corp, Berger Paints India and RBL Bank. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 18900 - 19100 calls and 17900 - 18100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
