Nifty removed previous session’s gain and ended deeply in red on Friday. Index made a gap-down start and remained under pressure throughout the day amid escalated geopolitical tensions, as Iran claimed that it struck a U.S. oil tanker in the northern Persian Gulf, raising fears of a wider conflict after the Islamic republic threatened to halt shipping through the vital Strait of Hormuz. Besides, investors opted to remained on sideline amid persistent foreign fund outflow. As per exchange data, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold equities worth Rs 3,752.52 on Thursday. Further, traders were cautious with Global Trade Research Initiative’s (GTRI) report stating that prolonged disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz beyond a week could rapidly spill over from energy markets to India’s fertiliser supplies, industrial inputs, construction materials and export sectors such as diamonds.
Most of the sectorial indices ended in red led by Private Bank, Realty and PSU Bank. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Bharat Dynamics, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders and United Spirits. On the other hand, the top losers were Ashok Leyland, Godrej Properties and Info Edge (India). In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 25900 - 26100 calls and 23900 - 24100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
