India-Pakistan ceasefire, FII action among 8 factors that could impact D-Street this week

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Indian benchmark indices ended with weekly declines of 1.4% amid growing tension between India and Pakistan. But a Saturday peace breakthrough between the two countries could calm the markets when they resume trade on Monday. A host of other important domestic and global events lined-up during the week, are also likely to impact the D-Street. On Friday, Nifty declined 265.80 points or 1.1% to end the day at 24,008. Selling pressure was across sectors but more prominent in private banks, realty and energy stocks. "Following a period of consolidation, Indian equity benchmarks experienced a sharp correction amid escalating geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan, which fueled market volatility and triggered a shift toward risk-off sentiment. Geopolitical developments, particularly the ongoing tensions with Pakistan, will continue to remain in focus," Ajit Mishra, Senior Vice President, Research, Religare Broking said. Mark...

FII activity, Trump's tariff stance among 6 factors to impact D-Street trade this week

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] The Nifty 50 on Friday slipped below the critical support level of 22,800, touching a low of 22,720 before closing at 22,795.90. The metals sector was the sole gainer, driven by optimism over potential tariffs aimed at protecting domestic producers from China’s dumping practices and better earnings. In contrast, Auto, Pharma, and Healthcare indices declined nearly 2%. Pharma stocks suffered a sharp sell-off following Trump’s unexpected tariff announcement on pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the auto sector remained under pressure due to concerns over slowing demand, as highlighted in the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers’ (SIAM) report. The benchmark BSE Sensex shed 424.90 points or 0.56% to close at 75,311.06, while the broader Nifty 50 index closed at 22,795.90, lower by 117.25 points or 0.51%. “With the key support level of 22,800 breached, the downward trend may persist. The next critical support level to watch is 22,500, while...

Mt 26K in sight for Nifty bulls. Track these 5 factors this week

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] After gaining around 1.5% last week, Nifty is now approaching a significant milestone of 26,000 amid heavy buying by FIIs in the wake of an outsized rate cut of 50 basis points by the US Fed. The rally will depend on continued strength in banking and financial heavyweights, which have been leading the market's upward trajectory, Ajit Mishra of Religare Broking said. The broad trend remains strongly positive, with the Fed signaling a data-driven approach, which supports the "buy on dips" strategy in the market, analysts say. "We have seen a sectorial rotation among investors to large caps, especially in consumption, staples, auto, finance, and realty. In the short term, investors are being cautious on export-oriented sectors like pharma and IT due to depreciation in the dollar," said Vinod Nair of Geojit Financial Services.

We see the Budget as being neutral for the Rupee: Abhishek Goenka

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] The US economic surprises are now the most negative since 2015. Month-on-month CPI print at -0.1% is the lowest in four years. Fed members have been reiterating that they want to be more confident about inflation reaching the 2% target and the latest June inflation print should help in that regard. Deceleration in sequential core services momentum is a positive. Latest jobs report also showed that the unemployment rate crossed 4% for the first time since November'21. Other high frequency indicators pertaining to housing, retail sales and industrial activity have also been softening. As we move lower and to the right in the Phillips curve, we could see the Fed narrative shift. The market implied probability of a cut in September stands at 90%, compared with 50% a month ago. Markets are pricing in 2.5 cuts by the end of 2024. We believe cutting rates in a stepwise manner while monitoring how the economy evolves would be a better approac...

FOMC, FII action among 10 factors to dictate D-Street mood this week

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Nifty ended the week with 3.6% gains that saw two big events – the mother-of-all election results and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) monetary policy. When markets resume trading on Monday, a host of important domestic and global events lined up during the holiday-truncated week are likely to impact them.

Additionally, investments by foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) and domestic institutional investors (DIIs) will remain under close observation, he added. Factors that are likely to impact movement when markets reopen this week: 1) Fed FOMC While it is unlikely the US Central Bank will cut the rate when its Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meets this week on June 11 & 12, the Street...
