06 Jun 2025 Evaluate

Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- closed significantly higher after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cut interest rate by 50 basis points (bps). Index made flat-to-negative start followed by mixed cues from other Asian markets. Soon, index gained traction after the RBI’s MPC decided to cut repo rate by a higher-than-expected 50 bps to prop up growth, which slowed to a four-year low of 6.5 per cent in FY25. Following the rate cut, the key policy rate eased to a three-year low of 5.5 per cent, providing relief to home, auto and corporate loans borrowers. Besides, some optimism came with report that Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal held three meetings within a short span of 35 days with the European Commissioner for Trade Maros Sefcovic with an aim to give an impetus to the reposed negotiations for a free trade agreement (FTA). In afternoon session, index continued its trade near intraday high level and maintained it till the end of the session. Finally, Nifty closed above 25,000 mark.

Most of the sectorial indices ended in red except Media stocks. The top gainers from the F&O segment were ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company, IDFC First Bank, and Muthoot Finance. On the other hand, the top losers were Sona BLW Precision Forgings, Solar Industries India and Chambal Fertilizers & Chemicals. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 25900 - 26100 calls and 23900 - 24100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
