Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- extended its losses for second straight session and ended slightly lower on Monday led by selling in IT and Tech counters. Index made a cautious start and was hovering around its neutral line amid weak cues from other Asian markets. Some cautiousness came as think tank GTRI said that a proposed 5 per cent US tax on remittances sent abroad by non-citizens is raising alarm in India as it may hit Indian households and the rupee. However, downside remained capped as traders took note of exchange data, showing that Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) bought equities worth Rs 8,831.1 crore on Friday.
In afternoon session, index magnified its losses and remained in red terrain till the end of the session. Index mainly dragged by IT stocks amid credit rating agency Moody’s downgraded the U.S. credit rating by one notch to Aa1 from Aaa. Finally, index failed to hold 25,000 mark.
Traders were seen piling up positions in Realty, PSU Bank and Pharma stocks, while selling was witnessed in IT, Media and Oil & Gas. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Delhivery, Supreme Industries and CESC. On the other hand, the top losers were Vodafone Idea, GMR Airports and PB Fintech. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 24900 - 25100 calls and 23900 - 24100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
