Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended Thursday’s trading session in a positive terrain amid the US Fed keeping rates unchanged. Index made an optimistic start, as investors took some support with data released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) showing that India’s services trade surplus bounced back in the September quarter of 2023-24 (FY24), growing 26.6 per cent after falling to a three-quarter low in June. Traders took a note of report that India and Sri Lanka have resumed talks for an economic and technology cooperation agreement (ETCA), after a gap of nearly five years.
Index continued to trade in a positive terrain in afternoon session, as sentiments remained upbeat with finance ministry stating that the Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections increased 13 per cent to Rs 1.72 lakh crore in October 2023 (Year-over-year), the second highest-ever, helped by momentum in the economy, efforts of taxmen in checking evasion and festive demand. Finally, index ended near day’s high point with over half a percent gains.
All the sectorial indices ended in green. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Vodafone Idea, Delta Corp and REC. On the other hand, the top losers were LIC Housing Finance, Hero Motocorp and Tech Mahindra. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 19900 - 20100 calls and 18900 - 19100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
