The Indian stock market traded higher on Tuesday, following a rally in global markets, as risk-sentiment improved after the announcement of the US-Iran peace deal and the consequent fall in crude oil prices.
Gains in realty, IT, FMCG, and energy sectors were countered by selling in metals, pharma and PSU banking stocks.
The Sensex was up 329.50 points, or 0.43%, at 76,593.83, while the Nifty 50 was trading 73.15 points, or 0.31%, higher at 23,927.05. The Bank Nifty index fell 87.35 points, or 0.15%, to 57,115.70.
Tata Consumer Products, HCL Technologies, Reliance Industries, Bajaj Finance and Hindustan Unilever were the top Nifty 50 gainers, while Hindalco Industries, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, JSW Steel, Tata Steel and HDFC Life Insurance Company were the top losers on the index.
In the previous session, the Indian stock market ended sharply higher, with the Sensex surging 736.38 points, or 0.97%, to close at 76,264.33, while the Nifty 50 settling 231.00 points, or 0.98%, higher at 23,853.90.
Nifty Open Interest Distribution
In the options segment, the highest Nifty Open Interest (OI) on the Call side is at the 24,000 strike, followed by 23,900 which could act as resistance levels. On the Put side, the highest OI is at 23,500 followed by 23,800 which may serve as support levels, Axis Securities said.
The premium for the At-the-Money option is ₹396, indicating a likely trading range for the week between 23,300 and 24,500, it added.
