28 Jan 2025 Evaluate

Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended Tuesday’s trading session in a positive territory ahead of Union Budget. Index made a positive start, as some support came after India's central bank announced a host of measures to inject liquidity in the banking system, including bond purchases and dollar/rupee swaps. The Reserve Bank of India will buy government bonds worth Rs 60,000 crore ($6.96 billion) in three tranches and conduct a 56-day variable rate repo auction worth Rs 50,000 crore on February 7. Sentiments were positive with Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s statement that the government is trying to bring policy-level changes for simplifying agriculture. He indicated that providing subsidies on fertiliser, seed and farming equipment through direct benefit transfer could be considered in the future. 

In afternoon session, index extended its gains to trade higher, as sentiments were upbeat after the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has launched the enhanced Certificate of Origin (eCoO) 2.0 System with an aim to simplify the certification process for exporters and enhance trade efficiency. This upgraded platform offers several user-friendly features, such as multi-user access, which enables exporters to authorize multiple users under a single Importer Exporter Code (IEC).  In last leg of trade, index came off from day’s high point, but ended with over half a percent gains.

Traders were seen piling up positions in Realty, Financial Services and bank stocks, while selling was witnessed in Pharma, Healthcare and Media. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Balkrishna Industries, TVS Motor Company and Cholamandalam Investment and JSW Energy. On the other hand, the top losers were Petronet LNG, CDSL and Piramal Enterprises. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 23900 - 24100 calls and 21900 - 22100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
