In afternoon session, index continued to wavering between green and red. In last leg of the trade, index managed to hold its head above the neutral line and closed above 24,400 mark.
Most of the sectorial indices ended in green except FMCG and Pharma stocks. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Piramal Enterprises, IIFL Finance and One 97 Communications. On the other hand, the top losers were Info Edge (India), Asian Paints and Adani Energy Solutions. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 24400 - 24600 calls and 23900 - 24100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
