07 Apr 2025 Evaluate

Indian equity benchmark index -- Nifty -- extended its previous session’s losses and closed deeply in red on Monday, following a global market rout fuelled by increasing trade tensions and rising recession concerns in the US. Index made gap-down opening, which reflecting a global selloff amid concerns that a potential global trade war could fuel inflation and dent economic growth. Further, index continued its weak trade as investors’ sentiments remained dampened after China and other countries announced countermeasure tariff on US. Also, market participants took note of exchange data shown foreign institutional investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 3,483.98 crore on a net basis on Friday. 

Index remined into the red terrain through the day, as traders overlooked the report that RBI is likely to cut key interest rates again by up to 25 basis points this week, as lower inflation provides support for an accommodative monetary policy stance, and there is a pressing need to stimulate growth at a time when the reciprocal tariffs announced by the US is posing a challenge to the global economy. In last leg of the trade, index trimmed some of its losses but remained in red and closed below 22,200 mark.

All sectorial indices ended in red. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Hindustan Unilever, Zomato, and Apollo Hospitals Enterprise. On the other hand, the top losers were Trent, JSW Steel and Tata Steel. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 23400 - 23600 calls and 20900 - 21100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
