Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- snapped four day of winning streak on Monday amid profit booking by investors after recent rally. Index made a flat-to-positive start followed by broadly positive cues from other Asian markets. Soon, index erased all the initial gains and slipped in red terrain. Some cautiousness came from Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) report stating that India's external debt increased by 10 per cent to $736.3 billion at the end of March 2025 compared to $668.8 billion in the year-ago period. Besides, market participants remained cautious ahead of economic data and Q1 corporate earnings in coming weeks. In afternoon session, index intensified its losses and remained lower till the end of the session. Finally, Nifty closed below 25,550 mark.
Traders were seen piling up positions in PSU Bank, Consumer Durables and Pharma stocks, while selling was witnessed in Private Bank, Realty and Auto. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Kaynes Technology India, Punjab National Bank, and RBL Bank. On the other hand, the top losers were SBI Cards and Payment Services, Macrotech Developers and Tata Consumer Products. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 25900 - 26100 calls and 24900 - 25100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
