Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended with gains of over half a percent on Friday. After making cautious start, market witnessed some volatility following broadly negative cues from other Asian Markets. Further, index gained traction and continued its trade in green terrain. Investors were cheered with RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee’s (MPC) decision to cut repo rate by 25 bps to 5.25%. Traders preferred to buy fundamental strong stocks. Further, sentiments remained optimistic as the Reserve Bank of India’s MPC revised India’s GDP forecast for FY2025-26 upwards to 7.3%, compared with the earlier estimate of 6.8%. In afternoon session, market continued its northward journey and maintained it till the end of the session. Traders took support with Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal’s statement that India emphasised on the need to reduce trade barriers, and boost exports to Russia with an aim to bridge the widening trade deficit between the two countries. Finally, Nifty ended above 26,150 mark.

Traders were seen piling up positions in PSU Bank, IT and Auto stocks, while selling was witnessed in Media, Consumer Durables and Pharma. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Patanjali Foods, SBI Cards and Payment Services and Indus Towers.

In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 26900 - 27100 calls and 25900 - 26100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
