Indian equity Benchmark -- Nifty -- closed modestly higher on Tuesday despite concerns over US president Donald Trump’s tariff trade war and his criticism of the Federal Reserve. Index started the session in green followed by positive cues from Asian markets. Soon, index turned volatile as market participants took note of Ministry of Commerce & Industry’s report that the output of eight key infrastructure sectors slowed down to 3.8 per cent (provisional) in March 2025, as against 6.3 per cent growth registered a year ago. However, index manage to gain some traction as traders took support of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s statement that India is ‘actively engaging’ with the new US administration and hopes to conclude the first tranche of the bilateral trade agreement ‘positively’ by fall (September-October) this year. Sentiments remained positive throughout the day amid foreign fund inflows and Nifty closed above 24,150 mark.
Most of the sectorial indices ended in green except IT and Oil & Gas stocks. The top gainers from the F&O segment were IIFL Finance, Dixon Technologies (India) and Max Healthcare Institute. On the other hand, the top losers were Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company, IndusInd Bank and Cyient. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 25400 - 25600 calls and 22900 - 23100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
