Indian equity benchmark index -- Nifty -- snapped seven-day winning streak and closed in red terrain, amid lack of clarity on US Presidents Donald Trump’s Tariff policy which will take effect on April 2, 2025. Index made slightly positive start as traders took note of date data released by the NSE showing that the Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) bought equities worth Rs 5,371.57 crore on Tuesday. Soon, index erased all early gains and turned red amid reports that S&P Global rating agency cut India’s GDP growth projections to 6.5 per cent for the next fiscal year. Sentiments remained weak as investors were cautious about uncertainty surrounding geopolitical tensions and Tariff concerns, which leads to profit booking by investors after rally of seven sessions.
Market remained in red terrain for most part of the trade, as investors overlook the report that Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Jitin Prasada has said that India and the US would focus on increasing market access, reducing import duty and non-tariff barriers, and enhancing supply chain integration in the proposed bilateral trade agreement. In last leg of the trade index extended losses and closed below 23,500 mark.
Most of the sectorial indices ended in red except Auto stocks. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Siemens, IndusInd Bank, and Hindustan Aeronautics. On the other hand, the top losers were Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency, Max Healthcare Institute and REC. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 23900 - 24100 calls and 22900 - 23100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
