The facility has been classified under the Voluntary Action Indicated (VAI) category, signaling that while observations were made, no further regulatory action is required.

Stock Market Outlook for Today:

• Flat-to-Cautious Start Expected: Despite Nifty opening 0.11% higher, the Gift Nifty is indicating a negative bias with a 0.5% dip. Weak cues from Asian markets and a mixed performance in US indices suggest a potential range-bound to cautious opening.
• Support Around Max Pain Levels: Max pain for Nifty and Bank Nifty is at 24,600 and 54,800 respectively, indicating potential support at those levels. However, low PCR values (Nifty at 0.71 and Bank Nifty at 0.82) suggest a possible rising bearish bets.
• FII Inflows Offer Some Relief: Continued net buying by FIIs (₹931.8 crore) and DIIs (₹316.3 crore) may cushion downside pressure, even as falling crude prices (-2%) and stable bond yields add to the supportive backdrop.
