12 Mar 2025 Evaluate

Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended flat with negative bias on Wednesday, amid uncertainties over Trump's flip flop tariff decision. Index made positive start, following gains in Asian counterpart. Soon, market wipe out all its gains and slipped sharply below neutral lines after some concern came as exchange data showed foreign institutional investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 2,823.76 crore on a net basis on Tuesday. Traders took note of Reserve Bank of India’s statement that with the normalisation of post-pandemic pent-up demand conditions, the growth in net sales of selected FDI companies moderated to 9.3 per cent during 2023-24 from the high of 20.3 per cent in the previous year. 

However, in second half of the session, market trimmed most of their losses and ended flat as some support came from, after Ministry of Finance report revealed overall credit disbursement to priority sectors like agriculture, MSME and Social infrastructure by the banks were surged to 85.66% to Rs 42,73,161 crore in 2024 as compared to Rs 23,01,567 crore in 2019.

Traders were seen piling up positions in Private Bank, Financial Services, and Auto while selling was witnessed in IT, Realty and Media. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Voltas, Manappuram Finance, and NHPC. On the other hand, the top losers were Macrotech Developers, Indian Bank and The Phoenix Mills. 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.
