Nifty ended lower on Friday amid sustained FII fund outflow. Index made a slightly positive start following broadly positive cues from other Asian markets. Soon, index started wavering near neutral line with negative bias. Some cautiousness came with GTRI report stating that the European Union suspended export benefits to sectors such as textiles under a preferential scheme for some countries, including India, from January 1, a move that expected to impact the country’s shipment to the 27-nation bloc, even as the two sides finalising a trade agreement. In late morning session, index extended losses as subdued Q3 earnings and sustained foreign fund outflow kept investors on edge. As per exchange data, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) net sold equities worth nearly Rs 2,549.80 crore on Thursday. Meanwhile, market participants avoided risky bid ahead of long weekend holiday. In late afternoon session, index intensified its losses and continued its southward journey till the end of the session. Finally, Nifty ends below 25,050 mark.

All sectorial indices ended in red. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Bandhan Bank, Hindustan Zinc and Laurus Labs. On the other hand, the top losers were Adani Green Energy, Adani Enterprises and Adani Energy Solutions. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 25400 - 25600 calls and 23900 - 24100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
