10 Jul 2025 Evaluate

Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended lower on Thursday as uncertainty persist over US President Donald Trump’s tariff decision. Index made a slightly positive start followed by firm cues from other Asian markets. Soon, index slipped below neutral line and extend its losses. Market participants avoided risky bid amid weekly F&O expiry and ahead of US-India trade deal. Sentiments remained weak as U.S. President Donald Trump escalated his tariff campaign, sending letters targeting six additional countries - Algeria, Iraq, Libya, Brunei, Moldova, and the Philippines - with fresh import duties ranging from 20-30 percent. However, traders overlooked Secretary of Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Government of India T.K. Ramachandran’s statement that India has become the fourth-largest economy, having surpassed $4 trillion and witnessing a rapid surge in foreign investments. In afternoon session, index continued its lacklustre trade to end the session at day’s low.

Most of the sectorial indices ended in red except Realty and Metal stocks. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, One 97 Communications, and JSW Energy. On the other hand, the top losers were Bharat Dynamics, Solar Industries India and PI Industries. 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.
