Nifty extends losing streak on Tuesday

04 Mar 2025 Evaluate

Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- continued its losing streak on Tuesday and ended below its crucial 22,100 level amid concern about trade war. Index made a pessimistic start and continued its weak trade as traders were worried after Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) data showed that the foreign direct investment in India dipped by 5.6 per cent year-on-year to $10.9 billion in October-December quarter of this fiscal due to global economic uncertainties. In afternoon session, market remained in red. Investors overlooked Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh’s statement that India R&D spending (GERD) is double in last one decade during the government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, from Rs 60,196 crore in 2013-14 to Rs 1,27,381 crore and is shaping the future economy of India which will be defined by homegrown innovations in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and quantum computing. Finally, Nifty concluded the session below neutral line. 

Traders were seen piling up positions in Media, PSU Bank and Oil & Gas stocks, while selling was witnessed in Auto, IT and FMCG. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Hindustan Petroleum Corporation, Bandhan Bank, and CESC. On the other hand, the top losers were Bajaj Auto, Supreme Industries and Adani Green Energy. 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.
