MUMBAI – The benchmark indices closed mixed after a volatile session Monday ahead of the expiry of the monthly derivatives contract of the Nifty 50 Tuesday. This will be the first Tuesday expiry of monthly derivatives contracts traded on the National Stock Exchange after the changes came into effect early this month.

 

The Nifty 50 settled at 24634.90 points, down 18.80 points, or 0.1%. The BSE Sensex closed at 80543.96 points, up 117.50 points, or 0.2%. The Nifty 50 fell for the seventh consecutive session while the Sensex snapped a six-session fall. Nearly 50% of the stocks traded on the NSE and 52% of the stocks traded on the BSE closed higher.

 

During the final hour of the day's trade, Moody's affirmed India's long-term local, foreign-currency issuer ratings, and local-currency senior unsecured rating at "Baa3". The rating agency also maintained its stable outlook for the economy. It affirmed the rating owing to India's strong growth potential, underpinned by a large domestic market and favourable demographics that also insulate the economy from external shocks. The agency has projected India's GDP to grow at 6.5% in the current financial year.

 

Broader market indices also closed on a mixed note with the small-cap indices falling and the mid-cap indices ending slightly higher. The India Volatility Index, the market's fear indicator, also had a choppy session, ending 0.5% lower at 11.3650.

 

On the sectoral front, the Nifty India Defence sectoral index fell 1.4%, closing in negative territory for the second session. The Nifty FMCG was choppy throughout the session and closed 0.2% higher. The consumer affairs department has received over 3,000 complaints in a week from consumers about companies not passing on the benefits of the recent cuts in goods and services tax rates, Consumer Affairs Secretary Nidhi Khare said.

 

Hindustan Unilever fell 0.6?ter the company said the impact of GST rationalisation is expected to have a larger-than-estimated impact on inventory. This is expected to be negative for the stock price in the near term, ICICI Securities said in a note.

 

IndusInd Bank rose 1.5% and was among the top gainers in the Nifty 50 after global brokerage Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock to "equal-weight" from "under-weight" and raised the target price by nearly 5% to INR 785. This implies an over 8% upside to the stock's Monday close.

 

Dixon Technologies (India) fell nearly 5% following the company's disclosure that it has completed the acquisition of a 51% stake in Kunshan Q Tech Microelectronics (India) for INR 5.53 billion. The stock ended down for the second session and was among the worst-hit in the Nifty 200.

 

Jindal Steel rose 1.4% and was among the biggest gainers in the Nifty Metal index after Nuvama Institutional Equities reiterated its "buy" rating on the stock and increased its target price by 20% to INR 1,426 after the company commissioned a 4.6 million-tonne-per-annum blast furnace and a 3 mtpa basic oxygen furnace. These were delayed by almost two years from the initial timeline.

 

Wockhardt rose 17% and was the biggest gainer in the Nifty 500 after a clarification on pharmaceutical tariffs said US President Donald Trump's fresh tariff on branded pharmaceutical imports to the US will not apply to countries with which America has negotiated agreements, a relief for the European Union and Japan, media reports said. This is expected to help the Indian drugmaker, which has manufacturing facilities in Europe.

Ganesh Consumer Products fell 8.6% to INR 294.30 on the NSE after listing at INR 296.05, a discount of nearly 8% to the issue price of INR 322. Atlanta Electricals closed 9.2% higher at INR 823.35 on the NSE after listing at INR 857, a near 14% premium to the issue price of INR 754.
