(Ten strikes to ATM, 17 Feb expiry)

NIFTY50 closed in green amid high volatility on Tuesday owing to the weekly expiry. The index gains were largely led by metal stocks after the government announced the PLI scheme for the steel sector. A strong resurgence in FII inflows, coupled with rupee appreciation, bolstered the investor sentiment. However, the FIIs sold ₹352 crore worth of equities on Tuesday.
