Indian equity markets remained volatile and under pressure throughout the week, with Nifty50 settling at 22,819, down 294.90 points (1.28 per cent). Stock markets are set to begin the week on a weak footing, as sentiment remains fragile amid persistent geopolitical tensions, elevated crude oil prices, and sustained foreign outflows. Moreover, volatility remains elevated, with India VIX holding near 26.8. Amid this volatility, there is an opportunity for investors seeking additional profit, as a stock will soon trade ex-date for an interim dividend. The public sector company has also fixed a record date to determine the eligibility of shareholders for this corporate action. However, investors must buy the stock before the ex-date, which is generally 1-2 days before the record date, to be eligible for a corporate action. While the ex-date is the date on which the stock traded without dividend rights, the record date is the date on which the company checks its records for stockholders.
