Nifty witnesses volatility on Monday

06 May 2024 Evaluate

Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended Monday’s trading session in negative terrain, amid slower India’s services sector activity. Index made gap-up opening, as some support came with the data from National Securities Depository (NSDL) showing that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have again returned as net buyers in the Indian stock market in May. Till May 3, they bought equities worth Rs 1,156 crore in India. In April, FPIs turned net sellers in Indian stocks, as the ongoing geopolitical crisis in the Middle East then likely pushed investors to take money off their portfolios. However, index turned volatile in morning session, as traders were cautious after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) stated that India’s forex reserves dropped $2.412 billion to $637.922 billion as on April 26, in the third consecutive weekly decline in the reserves. 

In afternoon session, index traded below its neutral line for most of the part, as sentiments were down beat after India’s services sector activity growth eased during the month of April. According to the survey report, the seasonally adjusted HSBC India Services PMI Business Activity Index fell to 60.8 in April from 61.2 in March. Further, the HSBC India Composite PMI Output Index -- which measures both manufacturing and services -- also eased to 61.5 in April as against 61.8 in March. Finally, index ended on flat note with marginal losses.

Traders were seen piling up positions in Realty, IT and FMCG, while selling was witnessed in PSU Bank, Consumer Durables and Media. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Godrej Properties, Britannia Industries and Kotak Mahindra Bank. On the other hand, the top losers Power Finance Corporation, REC and Titan Company. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 23400 - 23600 calls and 21900 - 22100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
