Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended Wednesday’s trading session in positive terrain ahead of Index of Industrial Production (IIP) and Consumer price index (CPI) data. After making a positive start, index remained near neutral line, as traders were cautious after hawkish comments from Fed officials and ahead of Chair Jerome Powell's speech. Traders seemed reluctant to make significant moves and will pay close attention to the Powell's statements for clues about the outlook for interest rates. Further, foreign fund outflows dented sentiments. According to the provisional data available on the NSE, foreign institutional investors (FII) offloaded shares worth net Rs 497.21 crore on November 7, 2023.
However, trade was in green for the most part of the session, as traders got support after Credit rating agency, India Ratings and Research (IndRa) in its latest report has maintained an overall stable rating outlook for large corporates for H2FY24, amid broad based recovery and improved balance sheets. Of the rated portfolio, 82% has a stable outlook as on October 31, 2023, unchanged year on year. Finally, index managed to end on higher note with gains of 36.80 points.
Traders were seen piling up positions in Pharma, Healthcare and Realty stocks, while selling was witnessed in Financial Services, IT and Bank. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Hindustan Petroleum Corporation, Apollo Tyres and Alkem Laboratories. On the other hand, the top losers were Bharat Heavy Electricals, Delta Corp and Bharat Forge. 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.
