Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended Wednesday’s trading session in positive terrain, ahead of interim budget 2024-25. Besides, traders keenly awaited US Fed's interest rate decision later in the day. After making a negative start, soon index erased all of its losses and entered into green, as traders got support after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) raised India’s growth projection for 2024-25 (FY25) by 20 basis points (bps) to 6.5 per cent in its World Economic Outlook (WEO) update on Tuesday, citing buoyant domestic spending and improved global growth prospects. For FY24, the IMF raised India’s growth estimate by 40 bps to 6.7 per cent compared to its October report. Index traded near day’s high point in afternoon session, as sentiments remained optimistic with Union Minister Jitendra Singh’s statement that India will emerge as the world’s third largest economy in Narendra Modi's third term as Prime Minister. He said the country has great stakes in the return of the Government headed by PM Modi in order to continue the upward trend in Bharat’s growth story. Finally, index ended on a higher note with moderate gains on the back of heavy buying in all sectoral indices.
All the sectorial indices ended in green. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Voltas, Exide Industries and Punjab National Bank. On the other hand, the top losers were Larsen and Toubro, Indus Towers and Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 21900 - 22100 calls and 20900 - 21100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
