[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Over the past five sessions, the Indian equity markets headed nowhere and continued consolidating in a defined range.

Ownership Tracker” for March 2025, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) reveals that private Indian promoters continue to hold the largest stake in India Inc., commanding a 32.5% share in NSE-listed companies.

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) turned net buyers in Indian equities for the second consecutive month, with data up to May 30 showing a net inflow of Rs 18,082 crore through the exchanges, according to NSDL data. This follows a net purchase of Rs 4,243 crore in April, marking a notable shift in sentiment after heavy selling in the earlier part of the year. The reversal in FII activity is one of the most significant shifts in India’s capital markets this quarter, especially after the aggressive outflows seen at the start of 2025. In the first three months of 2025, FIIs had been consistent sellers in the Indian market. The selling began in January, coinciding with the dollar index peaking at 111 in mid-January. That month alone, FIIs sold equities worth Rs 78,027 crore, driven by concerns over global interest rate movements and a stronger dollar. However, as global macroeconomic indicators began to ease, including signs of cooling in...

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Synopsis Though the market is quoting with a bullish bias, it is still important to find stocks that are likely to fall less if there is another bear attack. And when the markets recover, such stocks tend to move up faster. So, the stocks to look for at this point of time are those that can act as an investment both from the medium- and long-term perspective. Which are these stocks? Or, rather, which are the businesses you need to look for?

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] U.S. jobs data, a European Central Bank meeting and big global oil producers all vie for investor attention in coming days. And as a new month dawns, court rulings on U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs suggest further plot twists to the trade story. Here's what's coming up in the week ahead in world markets from Lewis Krauskopf in New York, Rae Wee in Singapore, and Yoruk Bahceli, Dhara Ranasinghe and Alex Lawler in London. 1.

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] For anyone on Wall Street still clinging to a time-honored macro-investing playbook, Trump 2.0 has been a source of endless punishment. Market narratives keep shifting faster than traders can adjust positions. Tariffs are on, tariffs are off — then they’re on again. One minute it’s “Sell America,” the next “buy the dip.” Old-school fiscal anxieties land, just as Nvidia Corp. sells a vision of AI-driven productivity nirvana. To cap it off, President Donald Trump’s unpredictability — trade, foreign relations, taxes and so on — is making life brutal for institutional pros paid to predict the market cycle. And the numbers show it: macro hedge funds are off to their worst start to a year in at least two decades. That confusion was on full display this week. As the US commander-in-chief fumed over the “Trump Always Chickens Out” jab, and again as a legal ruling threatened his signature tariff weapon, some on Wall Street braced for retaliation. ...

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] India's power utilities sector remains well-positioned for long-term growth, backed by robust renewable energy (RE) additions, resilient coal production, and policy-driven supply-side readiness. Despite a near-term moderation in electricity demand, structural tailwinds such as energy transition, rising electrification, and economic growth are expected to support sustained sectoral momentum. Peak power demand in India reached 250GW in FY25 and is projected to touch 270GW in FY26. Although demand growth moderated to ~5% in FY25 (vs. 7–9% in FY22–24) and further eased to ~2% YoY in April 2025 due to high base effects and milder weather, demand volatility in peak months suggests potential for a sharp rebound in the near term. Capacity additions in FY25 were a standout, with total generation capacity rising by 33.3GW—a 29% YoY increase. Renewable energy was the key driver, contributing 28.8GW, led by solar additions of 23.8GW. Wind energy ...

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] “But if it makes a difference to you whether your stocks are down 15% or not, you need to get a somewhat different investment philosophy because the world is not going to adapt to you. You’re going to have to adapt to the world.” — Warren Buffett, 60th Annual Meeting, May 2025 Investors, their advisors, and even regulators agree that an investor should allocate capital according to his risk profile. This is composed of two different things. First is the risk-taking capacity based on their financial circumstances, investment horizon etc. Second is the psychological response handling capacity when the actual risk takes place. The first one is what we can call the hard aspect of risk profile and the second is the soft aspect. If someone’s financial situation is too precarious in terms of uncertain income, high debt, or too many dependents compared to the income, then it is a hard issue, and one cannot do much about it until these circumstanc...
