Nifty falls for third consecutive session

16 Apr 2024 Evaluate

Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended Tuesday’s trading session with over half a percent cut, amid rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Index made a gap-down opening, as traders were cautious with commerce ministry’s data indicating that India's merchandise exports declined marginally in March 2024 to $41.68 billion, while for the entire 2023-24 it dipped 3.11 per cent to $437.06 billion, as geopolitical issues continued to hamper global shipments. Imports, too, declined 5.98 per cent to $57.28 billion in March, taking the trade deficit to $15.6 billion during the month. Further, foreign fund outflows also dented sentiments. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) net sold shares worth Rs 3,268 crore on April 15, provisional data from the NSE showed.

In afternoon session, index extended its losses and traded near day’s low point, as sentiments remained downbeat with a private report stating that interest rate cuts in India are off the table in fiscal year 2024/25 given the change in the Federal Reserve's policy path and strong growth in the South Asian nation. Adding some concerns among traders, the Indian government has announced an increase in windfall tax on petroleum crude from Rs 6,800 to Rs 9,600 per metric ton. This change will come into effect on April 16, as part of the government's fortnightly revision of the tax. In last leg of trade, index trimmed some of its losses, but ended in negative terrain with over half a percent cut.

Traders were seen piling up positions in Media, Oil & Gas, and FMCG, while selling was witnessed in IT, PSU Bank and Bank. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Exide Industries, Zee Entertainment Enterprises and Samvardhana Motherson International. On the other hand, the top losers Infosys, Mphasis and Coforge. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 22900 - 23100 calls and 21900 - 22100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
