'Nifty's trading patterns indicate possible decline to 24,600'

<div>
	- The Nifty index has encountered resistance at the 25,000 level for two consecutive days, with recent trading patterns indicating a possible decline to 24,600 or even 24,500. The significant open interest (OI) of around 76 lakh shares at the 25,000 call strike points to robust resistance.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	- In contrast, the 24,600 put strike has an OI of approximately 43 lakh shares, suggesting it may offer support.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	- In parallel, the Bank Nifty has shown volatility, closing near 51,500 yesterday. For today&#39;s monthly settlement, the Bank Nifty is likely to face resistance at higher levels, particularly at the 52,000 strike, which has considerable OI. On the downside, the 51,000 level is expected to act as support.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	- Investors should be cautious and refrain from taking aggressive short positions unless there is a clear break in the upward trend.</div>

Capital gains tax changes may impact investment behaviour: Rashesh Shah

The changes in tax treatment for capital gainswere anticipated. Buyback and tax-free dividend had a gap and an equalisation was important. The volumes in F&amp;O trading had gone up rapidly and, in a way, this increase in Securities Transaction Tax (STT) on futures and options (F&amp;O) will help protect the interests of the retail investors and safeguard them from the risks arising out of uninformed trading in the market segment. This, alongside modifications in capital gains taxation, may impact investment behaviour in the short-run; but the markets are resilient, and this will be absorbed and balance will return.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/markets/news/capital-gains-tax-changes-may-impact-investment-behaviour-rashesh-shah-124073100248_1.html" target="_blank"><strong>READ INTERVIEW</strong></a><br />

Here's why Honda is losing the electric two-wheeler race in Indian market

Which automotive company, more than any other, is responsible for getting the world&rsquo;s population moving? Ford Motor Co., whose Model T turned the car into a mass-market product? Volkswagen AG, which sold more vehicles than any competitor over the past decade? Toyota Motor Corp., whose Corolla is the best-selling auto in history? There&rsquo;s a good case that the real answer is none of the above. Instead, it&rsquo;s Honda Motor Co., whose cheap and cheerful Super Cub motorbike deserves to be recognised as the most important road vehicle in history. Since it debuted in 1958, cumulative sales have been more than 100 million, well over twice the Corolla&rsquo;s numbers. <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/companies/news/here-s-why-honda-is-losing-the-electric-two-wheeler-race-in-indian-market-124073100113_1.html" target="_blank"><strong>READ MORE</strong></a><br />
