Iran war deepens correction risk: Is Nifty headed toward the 21,000 zone?

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia continue to weigh on Indian equities, despite occasional one-off rallies. The benchmark Nifty has dropped sharply from its highs, raising concerns over how deep the current correction could run. Analysts are eyeing the 21,000-22,000 range as a potential stabilisation zone, as technical structure, valuation metrics, and historical patterns begin to converge around that band. After peaking near 26,350, the Nifty has entered what analysts describe as a meaningful corrective phase. The index has already fallen to around 23,200 within a short span, altering the near-term market structure and weakening momentum. According to market expert Abhishek Parakh, corrections in equity markets tend to extend beyond initial expectations before forming a durable base. “Corrections rarely end when investors expect them to. They usually extend just enough to test conviction before a stronger base begins to form,” h...

Adani Total Gas shares fall 3%, down 11% in two days. What's driving the selloff?

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Shares of Adani Total Gas fell as much as 3.5% to an intraday low of Rs 544 on the BSE on Monday, extending losses for a second straight session and taking the cumulative decline to nearly 11% over the period. The weakness in the stock comes after investors booked profits following a sharp 30% rally in just three trading sessions. Over the weekend, the company also cut the price of excess natural gas supplied to select industrial customers to Rs 82.95 per standard cubic metre (SCM), down from Rs 119.90 per SCM, with the revised rate taking effect from 0600 hours on March 16. The reduction follows a softening in upstream gas prices amid ongoing supply disruptions. Last week's rally came after the government’s issuance of the Natural Gas (Supply Regulation) Order, 2026, which seeks to prioritise gas allocation to essential sectors amid supply disruptions triggered by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The move also comes amid risi...

Citi cuts Nifty's target to 27,000 on earnings, macro risks from raging Iran war

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Citi Research has trimmed its year-end target for India's Nifty 50, citing mounting risks to growth and corporate earnings and as surging oil and supply shocks from the escalating Middle East war worsen the outlook for Asia's third-largest economy. Citi has cut the target to 27,000 from 28,500 earlier, implying a 17% upside from the Nifty's ‌last close. The ⁠brokerage also ⁠lowered the Nifty target multiple to 19x from 20x 1-year forward price-to-earnings ratio. While India's fiscal and monetary response hinges on the conflict's duration and severity, the "earnings impact is a function of how prolonged the supply shutdown is," analysts led by Surendra Goyal of Citi Research said on Monday. Citi estimates that three months of supply disruptions could shave off 20-30 basis points off India's growth in fiscal year 2027, ⁠raise inflation ‌by 50-75 bps, widen the fiscal deficit by 10 bps and add $25 billion ...
