Indian markets started Thursday’s session on a positive footing, taking cues from strong Asian market sentiment. The benchmark Nifty hovered close to its all-time high of 26,277, reflecting sustained investor confidence and broad-based buying interest. Gains were led by sectors such as Oil & Gas, Infrastructure, Financial Services, Energy, and Auto, which provided strong support to the index. However, pockets of weakness emerged in Media, PSU Banks, and Realty, which saw mild profit-taking. Sentiment remained upbeat as optimism surrounding a potential US–India trade agreement continued to bolster market confidence. On the derivatives front, a notable build-up in open interest was observed in POWERINDIA, MFSL, NAUKRI, EICHERMOT, and CUMMINSIND, indicating active participation and fresh positioning by market players. Meanwhile, the Nifty monthly expiry Put–Call Ratio (PCR) stands at 1.49, signaling a bias towards put writing and underlying market strength.
