Derivatives positions indicate 4% swing in mkts today

Mint Chennai

February 01, 2025

Retail investors, high net worth individuals (HNIs) and proprietary traders have created derivatives positions that indicate that the stock markets could move within a 4% range today, when finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman presents the 2025-26 budget.

- Ram Sahgal

The positions were created on a day the markets rose for the fourth straight session. On Friday, the Nifty 50 settled 1.11% higher at 23,508.4 points while the Sensex ended 0.97% higher at 77,500.57.

Broader markets like the Nifty Midcap 150 and the Nifty Smallcap 250 also outperformed, rising 1.7% each amid optimism that Sitharaman would announce some form of stimulus or tax breaks for low and middle-income taxpayers who are singed by poor wage growth and high inflation.
