Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- snapped three day gaining streak on Monday and ended in red, amid uncertainty surrounding US tariffs and deflationary pressures in China. Index made a flat-to-negative start and soon entered into green terrain on account of value buying. Some support came as Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said India is looking for a good trade agreement with the US to promote economic growth and ensure smooth supply chains. Market remained in green for most part of the day. However, gains remained capped as some concerns came as traders took note of exchange data showed Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 2,035.10 crore on net basis on Friday. In last leg of the trade, market erased all initial gains and closed in red terrain as the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) stated that the European Union's (EU) aggressive environmental regulations, particularly the carbon tax, deforestation rules, and supply chain due diligence laws are one of the biggest hurdles in the negotiations for a proposed trade pact with India.
Most of the sectorial indices ended in red except FMCG stocks. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Solar Industries India, Power Grid Corporation of India, and JSW Energy. On the other hand, the top losers were Titagarh Rail Systems, KEI Industries and Dixon Technologies (India). In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 30900 - 31100 calls and 21900 - 22100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
