Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended Monday’s trading session on flat note, ahead of Q1FY25 earnings results. After making a cautious start, soon index traded in negative terrain, as traders were concerned with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) stating that India's forex reserves dropped $1.713 billion to $651.997 billion for the week ended June 28. Some cautiousness came with a private report that India will struggle to create enough jobs for its growing workforce over the next decade even if the economy grows at a rapid pace of 7 per cent, and it suggested the world’s most-populous nation will need more concerted steps to boost employment and skills. Index remained below its neutral line in noon deals, as traders were cautious after French elections pointed to a hung parliament and investors looked ahead to the release of the U.S. inflation print for June as well as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's testimony this week for additional clues on the Fed's rate trajectory. In last leg of trade, index managed to erase most of its losses, but ended just below its neutral line.
Most of the sectorial indices ended in red except FMCG, Oil & Gas and IT stocks. The top gainers from the F&O segment were REC, National Aluminium Company and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation. On the other hand, the top losers AU Small Finance Bank, Bank of Baroda and Oberoi Realty. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 24900 - 25100 calls and 23900 - 24100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
