Battered Wall Street short brigade is refusing to admit defeat

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Just like that, the panic on Wall Street has vanished almost as quickly as it arrived.Only weeks ago, traders from Singapore to New York were bracing for the economic fallout from President Donald Trump’s trade war. Global markets had shed trillions in value and American financial dominance faced its sharpest scrutiny in years. Now, the investment landscape looks markedly different. Trump is touting tariff progress on a near-daily basis — helping cool stagflation concerns while pumping up the “buy America and fade the fear” narrative once more. In turn, risky assets have mounted a swift rebound. The S&P 500 has just closed out its second-best week of the year, while credit and crypto have rallied anew. Yet for all that, a cohort of naysayers is pushing back. Short interest in the world’s biggest exchange-traded fund tracking the Nasdaq 100 has grown and now sits almost three times its February low. And in corporate bonds, bearish posi...

IOC 6.0 | One stock can change your life: Vijay Kedia’s 16,400x success story in investing

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Veteran investor Vijay Kedia, the driving force behind Kedia Securities, has long been an inspiration to retail investors. Speaking at IOC 6.0 - Traders' Mahakumbh, he reinforced a powerful message: One stock can change your life. And he’s not just speaking in theory—his own investment journey serves as proof. Kedia recounted a remarkable investment in a Gujarat-based company back in 2006-07, which turned into a 16,400x return over 16 years before he finally exited in 2023. This incredible growth wasn’t without its challenges—the stock experienced declines of over 50% during market downturns, including the 2008 financial crisis. However, his steadfast long-term holding and belief in compounding made all the difference. 1) The Power of Holding for the Long Term Kedia emphasized that the best investment ideas often take 5-10 years to unfold. Yet, many investors tend to chase momentum in bull markets and panic in bear markets, missing ou...

Fed seen restarting rate cuts in June as still-elevated inflation slows

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] The Federal Reserve could restart cuts to short-term borrowing rates in June and follow up with another reduction in September, traders bet on Friday, after data showed inflation edged down in January in line with expectations. The 12-month change in the personal consumption expenditures price index, which the Fed targets at 2%, ticked down to 2.5% last month from 2.6% in December, and the core PCE measure fell to 2.6% from 2.9%, the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis showed. The same report also showed consumer spending unexpectedly dropped in January, following a sharp increase in December as households stocked up on goods ahead of the Trump administration's telegraphed tariffs, which have stoked rising fears of a resurgence in price pressures amid a slowdown in business activity. The combination of still-elevated inflation and cooling economic growth has some analysts worried that Fed policymakers may need to cho...

Budget day trading strategy: What should Nifty traders do on D-Day?

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Whether the stock market ends higher or lower on Budget day today, volatility is likely to be higher than usual as in 12 out of the last 14 instances, Nifty has shown intraday fluctuations within a 2-3% range. "A common trend observed is that the Implied Volatility (IV) of Options rises in the days leading up to the Budget but subsequently declines sharply during the speech. Given this pattern, instead of adopting a directional strategy (delta-based approach), traders may find implied volatility (vega-based) strategies more profitable, capitalizing on the expected IV crush," Sujit Modi, CIO, Share.Market, said. Also read | Budget & stock market: Why odds of Sensex, Nifty rallying are high after D-Day Back testing data shows that Short Iron Fly and Short Iron Condor strategies are the most consistently profitable, succeeding in 13 out of 14 instances, he said.

Budget 2025: Will ITC shares Budget day winning streak survive tax hike uncertainty?

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] India’s Union Budget has historically been a favourable occasion for ITC shares, with the cigarettes-to-hotels conglomerate's stock closing higher on nine of the last ten Budget days, averaging a 1.86% gain since 2017. However, traders remain cautious this year, given speculation that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman may raise excise duties on cigarettes for the first time in three years. India had two Budgets in both 2019 and 2024 due to general elections, with interim Budgets in February followed by full-fledged Budgets later in the year. The ITC stock surged 4.51% on Budget day in 2017, followed by gains of 1.51% in 2018, 0.74% in February 2019, and 0.63% in July 2019, when the newly elected government presented its full-year Budget. The only exception to this trend came in 2020, when the stock plunged 6.97% after an unexpected increase in National Calamity Contingent Duty (NCCD) on cigarettes. However, the stock rebounded in su...

Angel One shares in focus after Sebi restrictions on F&O trading

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Shares of broker Angel One will be in focus after the market regulator Sebi announced a series of steps to curb derivatives trading, which have an impact on the volumes in the segment. Derivatives segment contributes a significant portion to the overall revenue for brokers given the massive surge in this segment in the recent past. However, Sebi's new restrictions mean that it will likely hit the financials of the broking companies like Angel One. Sebi on late Tuesday said it will start implementing a new framework to regulate the high-risk world of futures and options by taking six measures including increasing the contract size to Rs 15 lakh from Rs 5-10 lakh and limiting weekly expiries to one per exchange. The new rules come into effect in a graded manner beginning from November 20 and are based on recommendations by an Expert Working Group (EWG) to strengthen the equity index derivatives framework. A recent Sebi study found that ...

D-Street investors add bearish bets on PFC and REC, rush to defensives

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Traders have built bearish derivative bets on state-owned power sector lenders Power Finance Corp (PFC) and REC promoted by the reversal in the recent bullish momentum in these stocks. On Monday, Power Finance Corp dropped 3.7% to ₹525 and REC declined 2.6% to ₹592. In last five days, the stocks fell around 5% each while the benchmark Nifty shed 1.3% during the same period. Analysts see these stocks falling further as investors are shifting money from recent favourites like PSUs and power stocks to the so-called defensive sectors. "In the last one and a half years, the PSU theme has played out very well, but is now witnessing profit booking," said Hemang Jani, director, Finazenn, an investment advisory. Traders have been quick to pounce on the weakness in these stocks, creating bearish positions in their September futures contracts. "PFC and REC have witnessed addition in open interest with price correction which indicates ...

Wall Street whiplash schools traders on fragile modern markets

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Greed has overcome fear on Wall Street — and the market cataclysm that shook up the world in recent weeks may well prove a mere blip on long-term price charts. Yet the summer rout will also go down as a particularly extreme example of a trend that’s shaped modern finance for years now: Increasingly frequent shocks blowing up with little warning. As fast as volatility erupted, it has calmed, with the S&P 500 posting its biggest weekly gain since November, junk bonds scoring a week of gains and Treasury yields stabilizing. In one especially vivid example, the VIX Index, Wall Street’s “fear gauge,” has just broken two records: the fastest-ever spike of 25 points or more, and the fastest comeback from the spike, according to UBS Group AG. The reversals are a nightmare for anyone trying to attach sensible explanations to the motion of markets. Was the trigger for the August swoon technical in nature, or something more sinister like fear of...
