19 Sep 2025 Evaluate

Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- snapped three-day winning streak on Friday amid profit booking after recent rally following encouraging progress in India-U.S. trade discussions and US Federal Reserve's 25 basis points rate cut. Index made a negative start following broadly negative cues from other Asian markets. Soon, index extended losses and continued its trade in red terrain. Traders paid no heed to Chief Economic Advisor V Anantha Nageswaran’s statement that he expects a solution to the tariff issues with the US is likely to be arrived in the next eight to ten weeks. However, in afternoon session, index off day’s low but remained in red. Traders took note of Crisil rating agency’s latest report indicating that the recent rationalisation of GST rates is unlikely to pose a fiscal burden on the government. Index continued its lacklustre trade till the end of the session and settled below 25350 mark.

Traders were seen piling up positions in PSU Bank, Realty and Pharma stocks, while selling was witnessed in Consumer Durables, Private Bank and Media. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Vodafone Idea, Adani Green Energy and Adani Enterprises. On the other hand, the top losers were One 97 Communications, Exide Industries and SBI Cards and Payment Services. 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.
