Extending losing streak for fifth-straight session, Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended lower on Friday amid renewed US President Donald Trump’s tariff jitters. Index made flat-to-negative start and continued its trade near neutral line with negative bias. Traders overlooked State Bank of India report stated that India's economy is expected to grow at 7.5 per cent in 2025-26 with upward bias, marginally higher from NSO's estimate of 7.4 per cent. In late morning session, market extended its losses and continued to witness weakness till the end of the session. Traders avoided risky bids amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s decisions to back a Bill mandating up to 500% tariffs on countries buying Russian oil. Further, persistent selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) dampened investors sentiments. As per exchange data, FIIs offloaded equity worth Rs 3,367.12 crore on Thursday. Finally, Nifty ends below 25,700 mark.
Most of the sectorial indices ended in red except Oil & Gas, FMCG and IT stocks. The top gainers from the F&O segment were National Aluminium Company, Hindustan Zinc and Oil India.

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