-Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here aretop developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of September 25 -The Nifty 50 crossed the 26,000 mark on September 24.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the top news from around the world ahead of the trading session of September 12 -Even as the Nifty witnessed selling pressure yesterday the moment it crossed 25,100 intraday, this morning the market is likely to start on a higher note following positive global cues. GIFT Nifty was higher this morning, trading at a premium of more than 100 pts from Nifty Futures Wednesday close, indicating a gap-up start for the Indian market. -Yesterday, the Nifty not only failed to defend the 25,000 mark, but at one point even broke below 24,900, before eventually closing above that mark after final adjustments. 24,800 on the downside and 25,100 on the upside has become the current range for the Nifty. Even Gautam Shah of Goldilocks Premium Advisory told CNBC-TV18 yesterday that 25,150 is now a very important near-term barrier for the Nifty, that it needs to cross for further upside. -Selling pressure came from all corners, be it Metals, Autos, PSU banks and even the entire CPSE basket, which continues to move lower from its August 1 peak. Even the midcap index, which was an outperformer till the start of the second half of the day, ended in the red. -Though the US markets closed higher overnight, US CPI for August came in at 2.5%, which was the lowest since February 2021, while core CPI can be hotter than expected. The major benchmarks rebounded from intraday lows as core CPI rose slightly more than expected and investors changed their bets for a quarter-percentage-point-cut by the Fed next week. -This morning, stocks in Asia rose as a tech-fueled rally on Wall Street spread across the region, supported by expected Federal Reserve rate cuts next week. Equities in Japan and South Korea advanced, with the Topix up the most in almost a month. A region-wide gauge of tech stocks rose more than 1%.

Spot gold was little changed. -India is poised to release its August consumer price index late Thursday.

Thursday is also the weekly expiry for the Nifty, its first for the September series and that will also have a part to play in the index moves. -This morning, the GIFT Nifty was trading with a premium of more than 100 points from Nifty Futures' Wednesday close, indicating a gap-up start for Indian market. -Stocks to watch: Reliance Industries, Sona BLW, GIC Re, Vedanta, Century Textiles, Suzlon, HDFC Bank, PNB Housing Finance -Asian stocks regained some ground this morning after a global selloff as traders awaited this week’s US payrolls data to gauge the extent of the Federal Reserve’s easing.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments to track ahead of the trading session of September 4 -The Nifty ended one point higher yesterday. A solitary point. That is after a 250-point rally on the Nifty Bank. On paper, it becomes the 14th straight day of gains for the index. But it pegs the question, has the Nifty finally reached breaking point on the upside, at least for the time being? -Morgan Stanley says two fundamental and two technical factors that can trigger a correction in the market. However, it reiterated that a correction does not mean the end of a bull market. The brokerage believes that India's current bull market is only past the halfway mark. -The Nifty Bank will also be in focus on Wednesday as it will be its weekly expiry. -Stocks to track: Defence stocks, GIC Re, AU Small Finance Bank, Infosys, Nazara Tech, Delta Corp -In terms of global cues, stocks in Asia sank after a plunge in Nvidia Corp. shares fueled the worst day for US equities since the Aug. 5 rout. -Oil extended losses from Tuesday’s decline of almost 5% as the possible easing of political unrest in Libya triggered worries about weak demand and oversupply. -The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 saw their worst starts to a September since 2015 and 2002, respectively. With inflation expectations anchored, attention has shifted to the health of the economy as signs of weakness could speed up policy easing.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of August 30 -The last time the Nifty gained 11 days in a row was nearly two decades ago, way back in September 2007. The 11th day of gains during its monthly expiry session was courtesy Reliance Industries as one-third of the Nifty's gains on Thursday came from RIL. An otherwise sluggish session on the Nifty was brought to life when Reliance Industries announced that it will consider a 1:1 bonus issue at its board meet on September 5. The resultant spike saw the Nifty make a new high of 25,192 before ending at a record closing high of 25,151. -A big factor for Friday's trading session though, will be the MSCI adjustments, which will take place in the final few minutes of the trading session. This means that HDFC Bank, which has been an underperformer, will see the first tranche of its weightage increase in the MSCI indices. Analysts are expecting the lender to receive flows ranging between $1.4 billion to $1.8 billion. -Both foreign and domestic investors were net buyers in the cash market on Thursday but the numbers will also be skewed due to the block deals seen in stocks like InterGlobe Aviation, PB Fintech and Welspun Living. -Stocks to watch: Infosys, Tata Motors, sugar stocks, RVNL, ITI, NBCC, SpiceJet, CDSL, LIC, Lemon Tree -Asian stocks advanced as upbeat US growth data suggested the Federal Reserve is engineering a so-called soft landing for the economy. Equities in Australia and South Korea rose while those in Japan inched up. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index headed for a fourth month of gains as traders awaited a key US inflation report due Friday. -A rally Friday will cap the best month for US and global stocks since June amid bets the Fed will ease policy as it tames inflation without the economy tumbling into recession. US output grew at a slightly stronger pace in the second quarter than initially reported, reflecting an upward revision to consumer spending that more than offset weaker activity in other categories. -In commodities, oil was steady after jumping Thursday on positive US economic data and worsening supply disruptions in Libya. Meanwhile, gold slipped. -GIFT Nifty was trading higher this morning at a premium of nearly 20 pts from Nifty Futures Thursday close, indicating a start in the green for the Indian market.

Welcome back to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of August 29 -After days of consolidating and resisting, the Nifty conquered its previous record high of 25,078 on August 28, a day ahead of its August F&O expiry and made a new high of 25,129. As has been the case with previous highs, there was some bit of profit booking at higher levels and that resulted in the Nifty seeing a 90-point drop from the highs of the day, ending even below its previous record high of 25,078. -This surge came despite the underperformance from banking stocks as the day belonged to IT stocks. Barring Tata Elxsi, which sold-off after a stellar two-day move, most largecap or midcap IT names saw healthy gains in Wednesday's trading session. -But the big question for Thursday's trading session is that will Reliance Industries, the index heavyweight, put its hand up and lead the Nifty to an 11th straight day of gains on its monthly expiry session? -Stocks to watch: Reliance Industries, InterGlobe Aviation, Vedanta, Sonata Software, PB Fintech, Lemon Tree Hotels, KEC International -The GIFT Nifty was lower this morning, trading at a discount of more than 40 pts from Nifty Futures Wednesday close, indicating a start in the red for the Indian market -Stocks in Asia slipped as Nvidia Corp earnings lacked the wow factor to impress investors, while Chinese results helped extend a selloff in the country’s tech companies. A gauge of Chinese tech stocks fell more than 2% in Hong Kong. Nvidia slumped more than 8% in post-market trading following a sales forecast that disappointed some on Wall Street.    -Later Thursday, investors will shift focus to key US data including a growth reading, personal consumption and weekly jobless claims to help firm bets the Federal Reserve will quickly ease policy this year. Fed Bank of Atlanta President Raphael Bostic said it “may be time to cut” but he’s still looking for additional data to support lowering interest rates next month. -In commodities, oil steadied after a two-day drop, with stock market losses offsetting a drawdown in US stockpiles and supply disruptions in Libya.

Welcome back to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of August 14 -On Tuesday, the street wanted the weightage of HDFC Bank to be increased in one go, but MSCI decided to increase it in two tranches. The first one now, and the second in November, subject to compliance with the foreign headroom limit. That did not please the market participants. HDFC Bank's shares were already down 11% from the July 3 peak and Tuesday saw another 3% drop. 50% of the Nifty's fall on Tuesday came from India's largest private lender. The Nifty yet again faced pressure above 24,350 and swiftly reversed from those levels, once HDFC Bank continued to decline. -Besides HDFC Bank, SBI, ITC and Bajaj Finance also contributed to the Nifty fall on Tuesday, albeit in a lesser quantum compared to the index heavyweight. -Wednesday will now be the weekly expiry for both Nifty and the Nifty Bank as Thursday will be a market holiday on account of Independence Day and the Parsi New Year. For the weekly expiry session, 24,100 becomes the key level on the downside for the Nifty. The fact that the Nifty has closed near the lowest point of the day will not please the bulls. -Wednesday's trading session will see the final bits of earnings reactions from stocks like Hero MotoCorp, Apollo Hospitals, Manappuram Finance, Muthoot Finance, SJVN, MTAR Technologies among others. -This morning, the GIFT Nifty was trading with a premium of 75 points from Nifty Futures' Tuesday close, indicating a gap-up start for the Indian market. -In terms of global cues, stocks in Asia followed a rally on Wall Street as bets mounted that the upcoming US consumer price report will give the Federal Reserve confidence to start cutting rates in September. -The MSCI Asia Pacific Index climbed for a fourth session, extending its recovery from a historic Aug. 5 selloff. Equity benchmarks were mostly higher, with those in Japan and Taiwan jumping more than 1%. The gains came after the US producer price index rose less than forecast, helping to fuel a 1.7% rally in the S&P 500. -Overnight, the S&P 500 saw its biggest four-day rally this year. The Nasdaq 100 climbed 2.5%. Starbucks Corp. surged 25% after ousting its chief and picking Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc.’s Brian Niccol as its next leader.

Japan’s equities rose after a holiday, as a weaker yen supported exporters. MSCI’s Asia-Pacific gauge rose as much as 1% to erase losses from last week’s tumble. The S&P 500 closed little changed ahead of US inflation data later Tuesday and Wednesday. Treasuries held Monday’s gains. -Oil remained near the $80 level it hit on Monday, as the US sees an Iranian attack against Israel as increasingly likely.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of August 12 -A new report released over the weekend by Hindenburg Research will be in focus today. The US-based short-seller has alleged that market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) reluctance to act against the Adani Group might be linked to its chief Madhabi Puri Buch, having stakes in offshore funds associated with the conglomerate. In response, Buch has labelled the claims as "baseless" and characterised them as an attempt at "character assassination." -This yet again puts the Adani Group companies in the spotlight for Monday's trading session. Shares of most group companies have already recovered all the losses they made after the first Hindenburg report in January 2023. The Adani Group has also responded by saying that their overseas holding structure is fully transparent and that the Group has no commercial relationship with individuals or matters mentioned in the report. -The Nifty 50 heads into a truncated week after what has been an extremely volatile week gone by. With the turn of events over the weekend, the upcoming holiday-shortened week also promises to be nothing less. It was a relatively steady end to the week last Friday with the Nifty closing above the 24,350 mark. Although it could not prevent a second-straight weekly loss, it managed to claw back most of that on Friday with a 250-point surge. -Barring the Adani Group companies, REITs will also be in focus as Hindenburg's new report also claims that SEBI's regulations on REITs benefitted Blackstone, which is the sponsor of three out of the four Indian listed REITS. Blackstone is also where the SEBI Chairperson's husband Dhaval Buch was a senior advisor. The report alleged the SEBI chief promoted REITs as an investment product to benefit Blackstone. -PSU stocks will be in focus as well. Bharat Dynamics joined the list of PSU earnings disappointing the street after RVNL, IRCON and even BHEL. Cochin Shipyard has turned out to be the only outlier so far. -The handover from Wall Street has been largely positive with the benchmark indices ending Friday's session with moderate gains. This morning, shares in Asia opened higher as markets shifted focus to key US data prints this week for further insight into the health of the world’s biggest economy. -However, it is likely that the focus on Monday for the Indian markets will be the Hindenburg report which may cloud an on-the-mend sentiment for equities instead of global cues, which have been the focal point all through last week.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are the top developments ahead of the trading session of August 2 -After three days of teasing the landmark, the Nifty finally scaled the mark of 25,000, thereby starting off August on a positive note. What generally follows an event like this is a sell-off from higher levels. Yesterday, there was some bit of resistance for the Nifty as well around the 25,100 mark owing to which it reversed from its latest record high of 25,078, but the fact that the index managed to hold on to 25,000 at close, will give the bulls a lot of comfort. -Stocks to watch: Tata Motors, Zomato and ITC, Godrej Agrovet, Kalyan Jewellers, Vaibhav Global, Infosys -Earnings: Dalmia Bharat, Delhivery, CAMS, Hindustan Zinc, UPL, PSP Projects, Titan, LIC Housing Finance -Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities says even as the Nifty has crossed 25,000, the crucial hurdle between 25,000 - 25,100 remains intact. He anticipates further consolidation or a minor near-term dip. -In the US overnight, stocks sold off with the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbling nearly 500 points, as investors’ fears over a recession surfaced. The Dow dropped 1.2%. The S&P 500 shed 1.3% while the Nasdaq Composite  slipped more than 2%. -Some fresh data stoked fears over a possible recession and the notion that the Federal Reserve could be too late to start cutting interest rates. Initial jobless claims rose the most since August 2023. -This morning, Asian markets also fell after the Wall Street sell-off, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 leading losses. Japan’s benchmark indexes nosedived as much as 5% on Friday, with most Asia-Pacific markets lower after a sell-off on Wall Street overnight over recession worries. -Intel shares slid as much as 20% in extended trading overnight after the chipmaker said it would lay off over 15% of its employees as part of a $10 billion cost-reduction plan and reported lighter results than analysts had envisioned. -In commodities, oil headed for a fourth weekly drop as demand concerns in the world’s two biggest economies overshadowed heightened geopolitical risk. Brent crude traded near $80 a barrel after dropping by 1.6%. -Ola Electric’s over Rs 6000 cr IPO opens for subscription today. Its anchor book saw participation from marquee investors. -Gift Nifty was trading 0.18% lower than the Nifty futures’ Thursday close, implying a lower start for the Indian market.

Here are the top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of August 1  -It’s yet another day of waiting for the Nifty to cross 25,000. Nifty and 25,000 are now separated by 49 points. It still seems a long way away considering the index came within 0.2 points of that on Monday, 30 points on Tuesday and 16 points on Wednesday but could not cross that landmark. 24,984 was the high made by the Nifty on Wednesday and that now becomes the first hurdle to cross on Thursday for the Nifty. -Global cues are important today as the US Federal Reserve has kept interest rates unchanged but Chair Jerome Powell said that a rate cut in September is "on the table" provided that data continues to be as encouraging as it currently is.  -Wall Street cheered the Fed commentary with the S&P 500 marking its best day since February this year, while the Nasdaq ended with gains of over 2%. -This morning in Asia, equities and US futures were broadly higher on firming signs that the Federal Reserve will soon cut interest rates.

Here are all the developments from around the world ahead of the trading session on July 31 -And for the third day in a row, the question remains – will the Nifty 50 hit 25,000 today or not? Because Tuesday's trading session almost felt like a repeat telecast of Monday's episode.

The BOJ on the other hand is expected to detail plans to taper its huge bond buying on Wednesday and debate whether to raise interest rates. -In commodities, oil rose for the first time in four sessions after an industry report pointed to a fifth week of drawdowns in US stockpiles.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast, here are all to updates ahead of the trading session of June 7 -Apart from emerging details on government formation following the 2024 election results, all eyes will be on the Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy announcement -RBI Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is expected to remain on an extended pause and cut interest rates in October. This MPC meeting comes at a crucial time, falling between the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections and the upcoming full budget in July. -This meeting follows a strong GDP growth report for the March quarter and persistent concerns about food inflation. The US Federal Reserve is not inclined to cut rates at this time. Given these factors, the Reserve Bank of India’s MPC is expected to adopt a wait-and-watch approach, with no immediate reason to cut rates. -The market is set to post gains in a week in which it saw its biggest single-day drop in four years and investors wealth worth ₹30 lakh crore is wiped out. The recovery in the Nifty over the last two sessions has been anything but smooth. -The weekly expiry for the Nifty turned out to be a choppy one and even if the index ended above the mark of 22,800, it closed trade 90 points off the day's high. This choppiness may persist until more clarity on government formation and who gets which ministry emerges. The fact that this will also be a coalition government, will be enough to keep the uncertainty lingering till a complete picture emerges. -Today the focus will be on whether the RBI MPC revises either of the GDP or the inflation estimates for financial year 2025. -On the global front, Asian stocks rose this morning as Wall Street wavered ahead of a key US jobs reading that’s likely to guide the Federal Reserve’s policy outlook. Australian and South Korean stocks rose and equities in Japan were steady, while futures in Hong Kong pointed higher. The S&P 500 closed little changed, having stalled near all-time highs, as traders refrained from big bets ahead of US non-farm payrolls data. Contracts for US shares were steady in early Asian trading. US Treasuries were steady while Australian yields edged lower. -Back home, the GIFT Nifty was trading flat, indicating a muted start for the Indian market ahead of the MPC meet outcome.  -Stocks to watch: Wipro, ICICI Bank, Tata Chemicals, PB Fintech, Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv, RVNL, Welspun Enterprises, Hero MotoCorp, Muthoot Microfinance Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues 

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are the top market cues ahead of the trading session of June 6 -The market has been carrying a disclaimer "Not for the faint hearted" for the last three sessions. In fact, at one point on Tuesday, it felt as though the Nifty has gone into a free fall, but it has managed to find some support at lower levels, at least for now. -The recovery seen by the Nifty yesterday, that is June 5, has taken the market back to levels above last Friday's close. In fact, it has even turned positive for the week. The market took heart from the fact that Narendra Modi is all set to be prime minister for a historic third time, albeit in an alliance, but with alliance partners like JD (U) and TDP backing the NDA, the government formation looks mostly certain in the coming few days. -The Nifty is 700 points adrift from its peak of 23,338. That may take a while as many brokerages have turned cautious on the market post this election outcome. -June 6 will be the first weekly expiry of an already action-packed start to the June F&O series. -Besides political developments, the market also awaits comments from the Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee on Friday on whether it will revise its inflation or GDP outlook for the fiscal year after the fourth quarter print. There are currently no talks of a rate cut from the central bank just yet. -Foreign investors continued to remain net sellers in the cash market on Wednesday, while domestic investors were net buyers. -Asia-Pacific stocks rose as hopes for rate cuts by the European Central Bank boosted market sentiment, while major indexes in the U.S. hit fresh highs overnight. Overnight in the U.S., Nvidia led major tech stocks higher and slightly weak labor market data gave investors hope the Federal Reserve might move to lower interest rates later this year. -Back home, GIFT Nifty was higher this morning, trading at a premium of more than 90 pts from Nifty Futures Wednesday close, indicating a gap-up start for the Indian market -Stocks to track: BHEL, IEX, Century Textiles, Torrent Pharma, Uno Minda, NBCC, Nandan Denim, KPI Green Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues

However, the outcome wasn’t exactly how the NDA anticipated and definitely not the way the market anticipated. The market, that factored in at least 290-300 seats for the BJP on a standalone basis, sold off sharply after the incumbent party failed to cross the 272 mark by itself. - This sentiment led to the biggest single-day drop in four years. BSE-listed companies lost ₹30 lakh crore in market capitalisation. PSUs and Adani Group stocks were the biggest contributors to that drop. - Brokerage firm Bernstein, meanwhile, expects Indian equities to 'sell down' in the extreme near term after the mandate from the Lok Sabha elections. However, it has left its Nifty target unchanged at 23,500 for the end of the year. -Stocks to watch: Tata Motors, Wipro, Vodafone Idea -In terms of the election certain key events are due today like the Cabinet meeting at 11:30 am. Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar are expected to be in Delhi today whereas the I.N.D.I.A block is supposed to meet at 6 pm this evening. These political developments are also likely to have an impact on the market. -In terms of global cues, Asia-Pacific markets were mixed this morning as investors assessed India’s election results. Overnight in the U.S., the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose as Wall Street sought its footing after an uneven start to the month. -The GIFT Nifty was higher, trading at a premium of more than 140 pts from Nifty Futures Tuesday close, indicating a gap-up start for the Indian market Tune in to CNBC-TV18 for more cues

Both SBI and ICICI Bank also hit record highs and crossed ₹8 lakh crore in market cap in the process. SBI is now the third most valued bank in the country in market cap terms after HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank. -All eyes are now on the counting. Brokerage firm Nomura wrote in its note that in both 2014 and 2019, the exit polls had underestimated the NDA-seat count by 50 seats and if trend continues on Tuesday, the final NDA tally may turn out to be even better than what has been projected. -Globally, Asia stocks dipped this morning after kicking off June on solid ground, with investors now awaiting the final results of India’s general elections. -Overnight, U.S. stock index futures were listless as Wall Street looked to find its footing after an uneven start to the month.

The Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) is expected to win between 305 - 315 seats, which is nearly at par or slightly higher than the 303 seats the party won in 2019. -The Nifty had a forgettable last week as investors chose to book profit from record levels and wait for the exit polls outcome by sitting on the sidelines. The index ended 2% lower in the week gone by. Investors lost over ₹8 lakh crore courtesy of the weakness seen last week. However, they might look to recover most of that sooner or later, after the exit poll outcome. -Expert commentary is key to watch today, Prashant Khemka of White Oak Capital believes that the Nifty will be hitting levels of 50,000 in the next five years, which is more than double of where it currently is. Raamdeo Agrawal, Chairman and Co-founder of Motilal Oswal Group, believes this could mark the beginning of a 'higher for longer' market rally, especially if the BJP achieves its '400-paar' target. -Among the sectors that brokerages have bet on that are likely to be the key beneficiaries on the continuation of the current government would be PSUs, railways, defence, and other manufacturing and capex oriented sectors.

Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open higher in the trading session of January 24, amid mixed cues from the global market. The GIFT Nifty is indicating a start with healthy gains with investors keeping an eye on companies that will report quarterly financial results.

Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to start the trading session of January 23 on a positive note as both global and domestic cues suggest. In terms of global setup, US closed the first session of the week with minor gains overnight but at a record high tracking earnings and economic data with all the three major indices closing with gains. In the previous domestic session on January 20, the market saw thin volumes with the broader market closing with healthy gains while benchmark indices closed in the red. For Nifty 50, drags came in largely from IT and FM G names. The good part was that the HDFC Bank snapped its three day losing streak. In the trading session this morning, the major move in both Nifty 50 and Nifty Bank will depend on how ICICI Bank reacts to third quarter earnings that came in largely better than estimates.

Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open higher on January 19, after a three-day losing streak, tracking Asian peers. The previous session was another weak one with the markets extending losses for the third street session. The sluggish global market markets, in addition to mixed quarterly earnings seem to be weighing on sentiment at least until January 18. HDFC Bank, IndiaMart, LTI Mindtree saw downside following results. In the January 19 session, the market will react to IndusInd Bank’s Q3 numbers. The global setup seems positive as the US markets rose in the overnight session led by the tech led rally. Asian shares largely traded higher in morning trade as the Japanese inflation in December hit the lowest since June 2022. Meanwhile, Reliance Industries, HUL and Ultratech Cement and Paytm are due to report earnings later in the day. ICICI Bank and IDFC First Bank will report results on January 20, when there will also be a special or limited trading session. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues

Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to start the trading session of January 18 in the red, a day after the biggest fall in two years. The Nifty Bank index also saw the biggest fall since 2022 with HDFC Bank recording the worst day in three years. It remains to be seen if the previous session’s move was exceptional or if it will sustain given the weak global cues combined with pressure in private banks weighing on sentiment. The Street is likely to focus on financial earnings post HDFC Bank and track if there will be net interest margin pressure in other banks as well. IndusInd Bank and South Indian Bank are among the lenders expected to report earnings later in the day. The Central Bank and RBL Bank will report results on January 19 while the ICICI Bank will release quarterly numbers the day after. Since Reliance Industries will also report numbers after the January 20 trading session, January 22, Monday’s session will be key to watch.  The global setup looks weak, the China GDP data being the key concern. The US markets ended lower in the overnight session while Asia shares were weak this morning. Brent crude was hovering at around $78 per barrel.

Asia stocks were trading largely lower while Brent crude was a bit sluggish at around $78 per barrel. The GIFT Nifty is indicating a softer start.

Markets ended 2023 with nine weeks of Street gains, but in the first week of the New Year, we are likely to snap the winning streak. The Dow Jones and S&P 600, Nasdaq, are all set to end the week with cuts as well. On Thursday, the Nasdaq continued to witness selling pressure and bore the brunt of the kind of the weakness that has been seen given the fact that some of the heavyweights like Apple have underperformed in 2024. So far, Apple has seen a couple of analyst downgrades that have come in. Talking about oil prices, brent futures continued its softness. Yesterday it closed near the $77.5 a barrel mark. Now this was an account of higher crude inventories that were seen in the US markets coming to the Indian market. Overnight queues are not very confident but Indian markets yesterday managed to outperform. It was a sharp recovery that helped the market. The realty index was to top gaining sector.  Today, the power sector is in focus. Asian markets and indicating a mild soft start for our own markets today.

The New Year started off on a slightly softer note after heavy gains witnessed throughout 2023. Yesterday, the US markets entered the negative territory, NASDAQ down over 1%, and in the red for four straight sessions. Oil prices last evening rose on increasing worries. As far as the Red Sea is concerned, a lot of tankers continue to remain off the Red Sea route given the fact that there continues to be increased militant attacks. Brent futures were higher by 3%, WTI futures too were high by 3.5% in the trading session. The Indian markets yesterday ended in cuts for the second straight day. Nifty 50 however managed to hold on to the 21,500 level in trade. The broader market indices showed relative out performance in the trading session. IT stocks and metal stocks continued to witness selling pressure through the day. GIFT Nifty is indicating a slightly muted start. However, it is not showing the kind of weakness that would have been anticipated, given the weak equity handover that we got from global markets.

Asian markets have taken cues from a slightly soft handover from the Wall Street and are witnessing a bit of red. The GIFT Nifty too is indicating a gap down start for the Indian benchmakr indices. After the heavy gains the markets witnessed in 2023, the markets across the world have started 2023 on a cautious note. US markets, in the previous trade session, were quite mixed, with the Dow Jones ending slightly above the flat line and the NASDAQ fell over 1.6%. Yesterday, the European markets too were quite muted. Oil prices fell yesterday despite mounting worries on the Red Sea. In fact, they witnessed a bit of a bump up, but by the end of the session, brent futures fell over 1.5% and WTI Futures were down 1.7%. They now continue to hover around the $70/barrel. The Indian markets ended with cuts on Tuesday after an extremely volatile session. The Nifty Bank index fell over 500 points and the Nifty IT index was another sector that witnessed a significant pullback from recent highs. The Nifty Farmer index on the other hand was a clear outperformer, However, FII buying has resumed with over Rs 1,600 crore of buying in the cash market. Among the key things to watch out for are operational updates by companies such as DMart. The monthly sales volumes of Hero MotoCorp were slightly disappointing, and the markets may react to that..

While several global markets remained closed for the New Year holiday, India saw a different scenario as trading resumed on the first day of the year. The New York Stock Exchange, the US market, European markets, and various Asian markets were still in holiday mode. In contrast, Indian markets opened for the second trading session of 2024. Despite the early start, market participants noted thin volumes, indicating a cautious approach to the new year's trading. Yesterday, a small sell flow figure was reported, but markets managed to hold on and even made fresh gains. In 2023, the Indian market witnessed significant milestones, with the Nifty, Nifty Bank, mid-cap index, and small-cap index all reaching record highs. Investors are keenly watching to see how these markets will perform in 2024. Notably, on the first trading day of the year, the Nifty hit a fresh record intraday high. However, the second half of the trading session experienced a notable sell-off, primarily centered around auto stocks. The auto sector was in focus as December monthly sales volumes trickled in, with tractor sales disappointing overall. This mixed picture led to varied performances across different segments. The telecom sector, with a focus on companies like Idea, continued to move higher, building on the gains made on the last trading day of 2023. However, the auto sector faced headwinds, with some stocks lagging behind. Analysts suggest that reactions to operational data from companies, particularly in the cement sector, may influence market movements. Investors are advised to keep an eye on how auto stocks respond to market conditions. Global market indicators are pointing towards a slightly muted start for Indian markets today, with a potential gap down opening. This cautious sentiment aligns with the thin volumes observed in the early hours of trading. 

As the year end is nearing, global market signals appear mixed for the final trading session. U.S. indices witnessed a flat close following a range-bound session, offering a neutral perspective. However, positive indicators emanate from the crude market, with both Brent and WTI experiencing a 3% overnight dip due to a further easing of tensions in the Red Sea. In the Indian markets, it was yet another day of record-breaking performances, with Sensex, Nifty 50, and Nifty Bank achieving fresh intraday highs. Notably, Nifty breached the 21,800 mark for the first time, underscoring the bullish sentiment. While Sensex approaches the 23,000 milestone, midcaps exhibit a relatively subdued performance, contributing to a market breadth slightly favoring declines with an advance-decline ratio of 3 to 4. Institutional activities reflect continued confidence, with Foreign Investors (FIs) displaying a buying spree despite elevated levels. Yesterday, FIs made purchases amounting to INR 4359 crore, while Domestic Investors (DIs) reported sales of only INR 137 crore. Today's pre-market data for Nifty indicates a modest gain, poised to mark yet another record high. Investors are advised to keep a close eye on auto companies, anticipating reactions ahead of their monthly sales figures. Additionally, oil marketing companies are in focus, driven by two key factors – the recent decline in crude prices and speculations surrounding potential price cuts.

On Wednesday, the U.S. stock market experienced a lackluster day with minimal trading volumes, contrasting sharply with India's bullish performance that led to record highs. The U.S. market closed with marginal gains, setting the stage for its ninth consecutive week of positive momentum. Major U.S. indices achieved fresh 52-week highs, registering gains ranging from 0.1% to 0.3%. Conversely, India's market saw another day of record highs, propelled by IT and banking stocks. The Nifty surged past 21,600, while the Nifty Bank reached an unprecedented close, largely attributed to HDFC Bank, contributing nearly 50% to its gains. Despite the upbeat equity movement, Wednesday's market ascent coincided with a notable uptick in India's volatility index, rising 6% to reach its highest level since March. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) played a significant role in this dynamic, with net purchases of nearly ₹3,000 crores, overshadowing the sales figure for Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) at ₹200 crores. As the December series approaches its expiry day, the GIF Nifty indicates a potential record high, currently up by more than 70 points. However, the commodities market experienced an opposing trend, with Brent and WTI Crude reversing previous gains and slipping by 2%. Overnight reports suggest that major logistics companies have resumed shipping via the Red Sea. Investors are advised to keep a close eye on stocks linked to Nifty Dividend Opportunities 50 (ND C's) for potential inflows (e.g., Bajaj Finance and HDFC Bank) and outflows (e.g., Adani Enterprises, L&T, and Adani Ports) as the market dynamics continue to evolve.

In a positive start to the last week of 2023, the US market witnessed a rise despite low trading volumes. Major averages closed the Tuesday session with gains of half a percent each, and small-cap indices outperformed, recording a gain of more than 1%. The NASDAQ, dominated by tech stocks, hit a record high, while the broad-market index S&P is within striking distance of its record level. Banking heavyweights such as HDFC and Kotak Bank, along with Reliance Industries, played a crucial role in supporting the Nifty, helping it hold levels above 21,400. With Tuesday's gains, front-liners are now 1% away from their record levels earlier in the month. In the commodities market, the energy sector emerged as one of the best performers amid ongoing tensions in the Red Sea. Both Brent and WTI crude oil surged nearly 3% each to hit their highest levels in the last three weeks. Gold also saw an upward move, tracking a lower dollar and 10-year yield, trading just below the $2100 per ounce mark. Sectors to watch include metals, with stocks like Hindalco, Nalco, and Vedanta in focus as aluminum gained more than 3% overnight. Additionally, Adani Group stocks are in the spotlight due to fundraising plans.

As we step into a new week after the weekend, global markets remain stable, setting the stage for a positive start. The Friday market close reflected a positive trend, with NASDAQ and S&P recording gains. Dow Jones experienced a slight dip, but the small-cap index stood out with a 2.5% surge in the closing hour, finishing at the day's peak. U.S. markets extended their winning streak for the eighth consecutive week, underscoring continued investor confidence. Back home, the Indian market showed resilience amid volatility, particularly in mid and small-cap stocks. The GIF Nifty suggests a positive opening today, although the focus remains on sustainability, given the expected low trading volumes leading up to year-end. In the commodity space, crude oil is navigating a range amidst tensions in the Red Sea, with Brent at around $80 and WTI dynamics near $74 per barrel. Precious metals continue their upward trajectory, with gold touching a record high and approaching $2100 per ounce. In terms of institutional activities, FI net sellers on Friday amounted to INR 2829 crore, while DI net buyers acquired shares worth INR 2167 crore. Looking ahead, key stocks are in focus, including Infosys following the termination of a global deal exceeding $1.5 billion, VIP Industries amidst CEO succession concerns, and liquor stocks gaining traction with the Gujarat government permitting liquor consumption at Gift City. As the week progresses, market participants remain cautious amid year-end uncertainties.

In a turnaround, equity markets have displayed a significant recovery after the apprehensions caused by a steep selloff on Wednesday. Both the Indian market, especially post 1 p.m., and the US markets experienced a challenging period during the sell-off. However, Thursday witnessed a substantial rebound in both markets, marking the eighth consecutive week of gains for the US markets. The NASDAQ surged by 1.2%, contributing to the positive trend. Crude oil prices experienced a marginal decline on Thursday, attributed to Angola's decision to exit the OPEC. Brent now hovers below the $80 per barrel mark. In the Indian market, Wednesday's sharp decline prompted a cautious start, but markets rebounded, recovering half of the losses incurred on Wednesday. Notably, heavyweight banks such as HDFC Bank and SBI played a pivotal role in aiding the recovery, emerging as top gainers. The mid-cap and small-cap indices also showcased a robust recovery, posting gains of over 1% in just two days. Furthermore, diagnostic companies stood out among the top performer. The overall positive sentiment in global markets, as indicated by Asian markets and the GIFT NIFTY, suggests a favorable outlook for Indian markets in the coming sessions.

Asian stocks edged higher in morning trade while the dollar was at its lowest in three months as investors remained convinced the Federal Reserve was done with its rate-hike cycle and looked ahead to a crucial inflation report later this week. The market will continue to watch out for crude prices that saw some correction with the commodity trading between $79 to $80 per barrel, ahead of the OPEC meeting. The GIFT Nifty indicated a bit of a quiet start with a positive bias. Meanwhile, the Finance Ministry and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) officials are set to meet banks, and payment aggregators later in the day over cyber frauds, sources earlier told CNBC-TV18. The meeting will be chaired by the DFS Secretary.

In the wake of a subdued trading session that left markets virtually unchanged, investors are gearing up for a quiet start today, with early indicators suggesting a minimal opening shift. The previous day concluded with markets moving within a narrow range of approximately 70-80 points. Notably, U.S. markets remained closed yesterday in observance of Thanksgiving and will witness an early closure today, translating to a truncated half-day of trading. This factor is expected to influence global sentiments, including Asian markets. However, the spotlight is currently on Japan's economic performance, specifically the announcement of a 2.9% core inflation rate for October, surpassing the 2.8% recorded in September. In terms of market flows, both foreign and domestic investors were net buyers in the cash market, setting the tone for today's proceedings. Investors are also keeping a keen eye on the Tata Tech IPO, with subscription rates nearing 15 times, and the Adani group, particularly Adani Enterprises, as the Supreme Court is set to hear the Adani Hindenburg case today. Pharmaceutical stocks, are attracting attention due to a tentative U.S. FDA approval for canagliflozin tablets.  Other stocks under scrutiny include Siemens, facing a service tax demand of 23.7, and Indian Hotels, where sources indicate a data breach compromising the information of nearly 15 lakh users in Taj hotels. In the energy sector, NMDC has announced the pricing of its QIP size ₹1000 crore issue at ₹5264 per share, representing a 7.4% discount to the closing price. As the market prepares for the final trading session of the week, investors are advised to monitor these developments closely. Furthermore, with Indian markets closed on Monday, anticipation is building for a dynamic end to the trading week.

Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely headed for a mildly positive start in the trading session of November 23, as indicated by the GIFT Nifty. Asian shares were in morning trade with markets holding onto their gains for the week as confidence grows that interest rates globally will head lower next year, while oil prices fell on the prospects for smaller-than-expected output cuts by OPEC+. Oil prices fell by more than 1% this morning, extending losses from the previous session, after OPEC+ postponed a ministerial meeting, leading to speculation that producers might cut output less than earlier anticipated. Brent futures were down $1.04, or 1.3%, at $80.92 a barrel. Meanwhile, in the Indian market, Nifty 50 managed to recover 100 points from the day's low closer to 19,700. This morning, the GIFT Nifty suggests a start above 19,800.

The GIFT NIFTY is indicating a calm opening for today's trading session, influenced by the mild cuts observed in US markets. The Dow and the S&P 500 experienced a slight downturn of about 0.2%, while the NASDAQ faced a 0.6% dip. Notably, the trading range in the Indian markets has been contracting, with the Nifty trading within a band of just 75 points yesterday, ranging from 19,754 to 19,829. This narrowing trend is evident when comparing recent days; the Nifty's range was 86 points the day before and 138 points last week on Friday. This trend reflects a consolidation phase in the market. Investors should keep a close eye on Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) as the company is set to make an exceptional provision of $125 million in its Q3 earnings related to a lawsuit dating back to 2014. This provision will impact the stock performance. Additionally, Tata Steel is planning to raise ₹7,550 crore through a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) with an indicative price of ₹1,29.1, offering a 13.4% discount to the current market price. Another stock of interest is Titan Company Limited, as the Competition Commission of India has approved the acquisition of an additional 27.2% share capital of Carrick Lane by Titan. Lastly, Allcargo Logistics may attract attention due to lower year-on-year and month-to-month volumes observed in October. These factors will likely contribute to the market's opening dynamics, shaping the early trading sessions. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more news and cues ahead of today's session

Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open higher on November 21, tracking global peers, amid expectations that US interest rates have peaked. India's GIFT Nifty was up 0.31% at 19,803 as of 8:14 am, above the benchmark Nifty 50's November 20 close of 19,694. The previous session was a range bound one but the mid cap index hit a record high crossing 42,000. Though Bank Nifty was flat, financials will continue to be in focus as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has tightened norms for consumer credit. Meanwhile, Brent crude is at around $82 per barrel, which would be a slight negative for the year in markets. In terms of the global setup, the US market continued to gain with the NASDAQ hitting a 22-month high. Microsoft was in focus after hitting a fresh 52 week high. This is after Sam Altman has been announced to lead a new AI team at Microsoft. Asian markets too traded largely higher in morning trade. Also, Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes will be watched out for later in the day.

Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are poised to open relatively flat yet leaning towards a positive trajectory on November 17. This optimistic outlook is fueled by expectations of the US Federal Reserve concluding rate hikes and a decline in crude oil prices. However, the significant volatility that the market saw in the previous session is likely to extend on November 17 as well. Notably, the focus will be on financial stocks — both banking and non-banking sectors. This follows the Reserve Bank of India's move to tighten norms for consumer credit, urging banks and NBFCs to assign a higher risk weight for unsecured personal loans. This strategic measure aims to instill a sense of caution among lenders regarding such advances, with a 25 percentage point increase in risk weight on unsecured consumer loans. Meanwhile, the overnight session on Wall Street concluded with US indices displaying a mixed performance, largely near the flat line. As far as the Indian economy is concerned, crude prices have seen a further sharp correction. Crude prices were hovering around the $95 per barrel mark a few months ago. However, in the previous session, there was a 5% dip, bringing Brent futures to approximately $77 per barrel in morning trade. Stocks like TVS Motor Company, Axis Bank, JSW Infrastructure, JSW Steel, and other financial stocks will be in focus. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues

Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to make a flat opening with an inclination towards the positive trend on November 16. GIFT Nifty was up 0.17% at 19,751.50 as of 8:13 am IST, compared to the benchmark Nifty 50's previous close of 19,675.45. After a gap up opening in the previous session, Indian markets sustained all gains and ended closer to the day's highest point, with all sectoral indices ending in green. Rupee and rate sensitives were at the fore of the market rally. In the overnight session on Wall Street, the Dow Jones continued its up move for the fourth session and closed high by almost half a percent. The S & P 500 and NASDAQ closed above the flat line. Along with that, there’s some positive news, especially in terms of crude oil prices which actually softened for the industry's trading session. Brent futures traded closer to the $81.1 a barrel mark. Asian markets indicated a mixed start this morning, given a certain amount of profit booking that’s been emerging after the recent rally.

Following a market holiday, Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are poised for a higher opening on November 15, propelled by a surge in global stocks. The surge is attributed to the softer-than-expected US inflation data, which has sparked optimism regarding a potential conclusion to the interest rate-hiking cycle in the world's largest economy. As of 7:59 a.m. IST today, India's GIFT Nifty was up 0.89%, reaching 19,731.50, approximately 300 points above the Nifty 50's closing figure on November 13. In the overnight Wall Street session, US equities climbed higher with the Nasdaq Composite index recording a 2.4% increase, marking its most robust performance in over six months. This upswing came after the US consumer price inflation (CPI) remained unchanged in October, a first in more than a year, following a 0.4% uptick in September. Simultaneously, early Asian trade witnessed a rise in oil prices attributed to escalating tensions in West Asia and a weakened dollar. Investors closely monitored inventory data following a two-week delay in reporting, with Brent futures maintaining levels around $82.5 per barrel. In the preceding session, Indian markets concluded with losses, although broader markets outperformed the benchmark indices. The overall market breadth, however, favoured declines. Goldman Sachs has upgraded its rating on Indian equities to the 'overweight' category. Additionally, MSCI released a list of stocks included in the global standard index. Key stocks to track include Biocon, IDFC First Bank, Rail Vikas Nigam, and Grasim Industries. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — are likely to open the trading session of November 13 in green, a day after Samvat 2080 started on a strong note. On the day of Diwali Muhurat trading on November 12, Nifty 50 ended nearly 100 points higher at 19,523 and Sensex closed 350 points higher at 65,250. For the Nifty, 19,500-level was the level that the index managed to cross on the upside and that is now a key level to hold as it aims for 19,600. Meanwhile, the US markets ratings agency Moody's has downgraded the US credit rating outlook and thus, a certain amount of negative sentiment in US equity indices on November 10. However, for the last two consecutive trading weeks, all of the US indices ended with gains. In some further positive news flow for the domestic market, crude prices fell close to 5% in the week gone by with Brent futures now trading and hovering closer to the $80 a barrel mark. The earnings session has almost reached its final lap with a few more days left when listed companies will report their quarterly results. Grasim Industries and Manappuram Finance are due to report their earnings later in the day. Coal India, ONGC, SAIL, LIC, Biocon and Eicher Motors are among the other stocks in focus.

In the recent market activity, we observed a range-bound performance with minor fluctuations. The Nifty Bank yesterday closed with a modest gain of around 25 points, while the midcap index rose by approximately 91 points. However, the overall market sentiment saw a dip of 143 points in the Sensex, and the Nifty also struggled to breach the levels around 19,004 to 19,500. In terms of institutional participation, net selling prevailed, with institutions selling over 1,700 crores and buying around 1,500 crores. This suggests that institutions remained net sellers in the market. One significant influence on the global markets was the hawkish comments made by Powell, which affected the US markets. The S&P witnessed a correction, breaking its longest winning streak since 2021, and the Asian markets followed suit. Additionally, oil prices hovered around $79 to $80 per barrel in response to these developments. Despite the Nifty indicating a lower start, macroeconomic factors may provide some support to cushion the market fall. In terms of corporate earnings, several companies, including Biocon, Coal India, ONGC, Tata Motors, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, and Tata Chemicals, are scheduled to release their results, which will be closely watched by investors.

However, the gain was modest at 0.3%, indicating a slight loss of momentum. S&P 500 futures and European futures both declined by 0.2%.

Global equity markets have been rattled by concerns over rising yields, leading to a significant sell-off and a prevailing risk-averse sentiment. In the United States, all three major stock indexes experienced substantial cuts throughout the week. The NASDAQ bore the brunt of the selling pressure, plummeting by over 1.5%. Crude oil prices, after reaching a two-week high, also saw a slight cooldown, with Brent futures sliding 0.2% to $92.16 a barrel during Friday's trading session. Shifting our focus to the Indian market, several crucial developments are shaping the landscape. The country finds itself in the midst of a hectic earnings season, with results delivering a mixed bag of outcomes. Both the Nifty and Sensex endured a 1% fall, further compounded by mid-cap stocks underperforming significantly. This downturn in the mid-cap segment set a bearish tone and tilted market breadth in favor of declines. Notably, FMCG stocks such as ITC and HUL underperformed after their results disappointed investors. Additionally, city gas distribution companies like IGL and MGL faced substantial underperformance amid growing concerns about new developments. Over the weekend, two prominent banks, Kotak Mahindra Bank and ICICI Bank, released their earnings reports. Kotak Bank, in particular, announced the appointment of a new CEO, a development poised to influence market sentiment.

This follows the market's inability to sustain intraday gains during the previous session on October 13, especially due to a late-hour dip in bank recoveries. Global oil prices have surged by approximately 6% due to heightened geopolitical tensions in Israel. However, on October 16, oil prices experienced a decrease, partially reversing the rally observed on October 13. Investors are on the lookout to determine whether the Israel-Hamas conflict escalates, potentially involving other nations and consequently driving prices higher, which could adversely impact the global economy. Brent futures exhibited a decline of 0.4% to reach $90.55 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude dropped by 41 cents, or 0.5%, to $87.28 a barrel as of 3:18 am. These shifts followed the notable 6% increase in both benchmarks during the previous session, marking their highest daily percentage gains since April, as investors factored in the likelihood of an extended Middle East conflict. In recent developments, Iran issued a warning through a social media post, emphasizing the need to halt what they termed "war crimes and genocide" by Israel, cautioning about potential far-reaching consequences if action is not taken. This warning came after Axios reported that Tehran had conveyed a message via the U.N. to Israel, indicating that any ground offensive in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip would elicit a response from Iran. The US market, meanwhile, closed lower on October 13 but was up for the second consecutive week. In morning trade, Asia was largely low and the GIFT Nifty indicated a softer start as earnings continue to be in focus. Avenue Supermarts released its financial results over the weekend, and its stock is likely to exhibit a reaction in response. Furthermore, HDFC Bank, Federal Bank, Bank of Maharashtra, ICICI Securities, and Geo Financial Services are slated to announce their earnings for the July to September quarter later in the day. These companies are all set to release their financial figures today. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more news and cues

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — are likely to make a gap down opening dragged by IT stocks in the trading session of October 13. The cues ahead of the session are very weak as both domestic as well as global markets continue to remain quite muted. In the US, all major market indices closed nearly half a percent lower, and the US 10-year yield has reached 4.68%, following a nearly 0.4% increase in the US CPI data on a month-on-month basis. However, the spotlight remains on the Indian information technology sector. Despite TCS offering an extensive buyback at a price premium to the day's closing price, the stock ended lower due to TCS's weak operating performance. On October 12, Infosys and HCLTech reported results that are likely to disappoint the market today. Both companies revised their guidance for the remainder of the year, leading to a decline in their respective American Depository Receipts (ADRs), with Infosys ADR dropping by over 6% and Wipro ADR ending over 3% lower. Nifty IT has been an outperformer compared to the Nifty 50 in the last three months, the Nifty IT pack has gained over 7.5% while the Nifty is up just around 2%. Infosys, meanwhile, has risen over 6.5% over the past three months but despite the muted Q1 results, the stock saw a significant amount of recovery.

Meanwhile, Bank of Baroda has banned the onboarding of new customers on its mobile app, which is to moderate the pace of new customer acquisition to some extent.

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — are likely to make a gap-down opening on October 9.   Though the trading session of October 6 ended on a positive note, the geopolitical tensions in Israel may halt the two-day rally of Nifty 50.  The Nifty 50 closed above 19,600 in the previous session, half a percent rise. Wall Street in the US too witnessed a solid session following stronger-than-expected jobs data.  Over the weekend, Palestinian group Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, and the conflict has dragged down for the third consecutive day. Following the attack, crude prices have already started rising. Brent crude has risen 4% overnight to above $88 a barrel on the back of the Israel-Hamas skirmish. The question is, whether this conflict is more localized or if will it broaden out regionally to engulf oil-producing countries like Iran. If that's the case, it needs to be seen whether net-importing countries like India will also underperform also.

Also, the ADP jobs data showed the job addition,in August was 177,000. This is lower than economists expectations and sharply lower than the July number of 371,000.

Medplus is also looking at block deal. The size is about Rs 860 crore and the seller could be Premji Invest and Lavender Rose. There are two order wins as well. RVNL bagged a Rs 256 crore order from Maharashtra Real Corp and the other is BHEL, which bagged an order to set up a super thermal power project at Chhattisgarh.  Nazarat Tech has said there is a board meeting on Septemebr 7 and they will consider issuance of equity on a preferential basis.

We are starting August on a positive note, given that global markets have now rebounded very sharply from the 2023 lows.  Most global equity markets managed to end July with strong gains. US indices too ended July with strong gains on Monday. When it comes to the US markets, the outperformance of midc and smallcap index has been quite stark. For instance, the smallcap index Russell 2000 ended July with more than 6 percent gains, indicating sharp outperformance against a benchmarking index. European markets too are along a similar trajectory, with largely positive cues.  However, crude oil prices remain the joker in the pack, as they have gained further traction and are now trading near fresh three-month highs. Brent futures are up by over 1.2 percent to $85.4 a barrel, while WTI futures are up 1.5 percent to $81.8 a barrel. The rising crude oil prices have gone ahead and forced the government to increase the windfall tax as far as oil refineries are concerned. On another note, Indian markets ended a rangebound session with marginal gains on Monday. However, the story continues to remain that the broader end of the markets are relative to outperformers, with the midcap index at a fresh record level.  Escorts Kubota, PVR Inox, Thermax will be delivering their quarterly results today. Most auto maker are also expected to report their sales data today. Asian markets as well as the GIFT Nifty are indicating a positive start to our own markets for today';s trading session.  Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues ahead of today’s trading session

We are starting the week with positive cues as far as the global markets are concerned. Equity markets have continued to remain quite resilient despite all the worries. Cues from global markets were very strong on Friday, with Nasdaq up almost 2 percent. However, in the Indian markets, the joker in the pack continued to emain crude oil prices, which gained further traction. Both benchmark titles, WTI and brent crude futures, have now seen five straight weekly gains, which continues to put pressure as far as Indian markets are concerned. Last week, Indian markets witnessed profit booking from higher levels, especially financials and IT, who were among the laggards in the week gone by. Our broader markets continue to stay relative outperformers. On Friday, IT and financial stocks witness selling pressure, with Infosys, TCS were among the top laggards. Indian markets snapped their four-week gaining streak. Going forward, it will be important to see how exactly do foreign institutional investors (FIIs) position themselves in the Indian markets. FII flows continue to remain a key monitorable, given the fact that the Indan markets rally was aided by strong FII inflows. This week, we will see over 350 companies declaring their first quarter results. The key results today include Maruti Suzuki, Power Grid, UPL, GAIL. In IPOs too, the primary market activity is quite strong. We will see two mainstream IPOs — SBFC Finance looking to mop up over Rs 1,000 crore and Concord Biotech looking to raise almost Rs 1,600 crore. Three SME IPOs too are in the pipeline for the primary and secondary market activity. Markets will take direction from the first quarter earnings as well as fund flow activity for this week as well.

The markets witnessed a rough ride on the F&O series expiry day on Thursday, however the June expiry itself was a positive close. The Sensex fell around 40-odd points, Nifty 50 corrected over 100-odd points, the Nifty Bank index fell near 1 percent, while the midcap index outperformed and ended in the green. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) net sold a large amount in Thursday's trading session and domestic institutional investors (DIIs) net bought over Rs 2,500-odd crore. The US markets ended lower. The Dow Jones snapped its 13-day rally. The strong Meta earnings and strong GDP numbers did not seem to enthuse the markets on Thursday. When it comes to the European markets, the ECB also hiked its rates, joining the US Fed in terms of central bank action this week. Asia is largely weak at the moment, when it comes to hiking rates. The Bank of Japan meet is in focus because there could be a discussion on long-term rates, which will be watched quite closely. The brent crude is another factor to watch out for. There has been a spike up in brent crude prices. Crude oil prices are now headed for a 5 percent weekly gain. For the Indian markets, the GIFT Nifty is indicating a weak start. There are many earnings to watch out for as well, especially from the broader markets —Bank of India, IOC, M&M Finance, Marico, United Breweries to name a few. Stock specific action will continue to be in focus and the Bank of Japan meet will be watched quite closely. Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues ahead of today’s trading session

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — are set to open marginally higher on July 27 after the US Federal Reserve hiked rates by 25 basis points as expected and reiterated its data-dependent approach to further policy tightening. India's GIFT Nifty on the NSE International Exchange was up 0.10 percent at 20,004 as of 8:12 am. Asian markets are holding up in the green despite the flat close on Wall Street in the overnight session. The United States Federal Reserve has hiked rates by 25 basis points and unexpectedly, it has kept the door open for future rate hikes as well. The next one will likely be in September. Meanwhile, back home in the Indian market, after three days of consolidation, yesterdayNifty 50 went very close to the 19,800 mark. There was some activity on the front line aided by stocks like Reliance Industries, L&T, ITC, and Tata Motors. The third cue is that the July expiry is today which the market participants will closely watch. Today’s session is likely going to be all about individual stocks. Axis Bank's bottom line looked ahead of what the Street was anticipating, but the core operating profit came in lower than projections and worse compared to other peers like ICICI Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank. Dr. Reddys reported a pretty decent set of numbers, so the stock is likely to witness a stock reaction. Tech Mahindra was a big miss with revenue falling by more than 4 percent on a quarter on quarter basis, EBIT margin down to 6.8 percent, which is the lowest amongst the peers.  Colgate saw a good set of numbers with an all round beat. Market watchers must also keep an eye out on RBL Bank because Mahindra and Mahindra says it has acquired a 3.53 percent stake in the company and is open to acquiring more but under no circumstances will it cross 9.9 percent.

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 are likely to open marginally higher on July 26, ahead of the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision and key corporate earnings. India's GIFT Nifty on the NSE International Exchange was up 0.13 percent at 19,882 as of 8:02 am. On July 25, the Nifty 50 consolidated closed with minor gains. The blue chip index has overall corrected from the high of 19,992 on July 20 due to factors such as mixed corporate numbers and uncertainty ahead of the Fed Meet. As few analysts opine that India's result season has been a little disappointing, there might be some consolidation, one of the cues that might help the Nifty 50 resume. In terms of the overall global cues, the Fed continued to be in focus with US markets closing higher. Alphabet and Microsoft reported their earnings for the June 2023 quarter. Meanwhile, Asia is largely lower ahead of the Fed decision. Back home, stock-specific action continued. L&T met earnings estimates and also announced Rs 10,000 crore share buyback. Tata Motors shares recorded a 41 percent jump in revenue. The automaker announced a conversion of DVR shares to ordinary. On the macro front, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised India's FY24 GDP growth forecast to 6.1 percent, which is 20 basis points higher than the April estimate. Overall, the big cues to watch out for would be earnings, the Fed meeting and also expiry due this week. Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues ahead of today’s session

It was a choppy start to the week on Monday, with the markets ending largely lower in what was a muted session. The Nifty breached 19,700, the Nifty Bank slipped and the midcap index ended over 50 points lower. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) net sold for the second consecutive day, but it was a marginal sell figure which came in from the high to around Rs 83-odd crore. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) however bought handsomely. Earnings and global cues continue to be top of mind in terms of market cues to watch out for. The last couple of trading sessions have reacted to the earnings of HUL, Infosys, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Reliance Industries. In terms of result reactions today, Tata Steel, Shoppers Stop, JK  Paper stocks are to be watched out for. We also have Asian Paints, Bajaj Auto that will be releasing numbers today as well. Global cues seem quite supportive. The Dow Jones rallied for the 11th-straight day. Asia is in focus because China has vowed to support the property market.  Crude oil is higher on tighter supply as well as China hopes. Do watch out for brent crude. The GIFT Nifty is indicating a bit of a positive start aided by the global queues. We have the FED. ECB and Bank of Japan meets will happen this week. The US Fed meet is probably going to be the most important when it comes to global cues in the next couple of days. Hence, do watch out for any kind of movements in the global market ahead of that.

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — are set to open lower on July 24, tracking Asian peers, amid caution ahead of key corporate earnings and central bank meetings due later this week. India's GIFT Nifty on the NSE International Exchange was down 0.11 percent at 19,744, as of 8:03 am. On Friday, it seemed as though earnings set the tone in terms of the markets. The banks and the mid gaps were fairly resilient. Today, it seems as though earning reactions and global cues will be on top of the mind this week. Today, the markets will react to Reliance Industries’ financial results as per which the consumer-facing business performed well. Regarding the global cues, in the US markets, the Dow eked out a narrow gain on Friday, the 10th straight positive session. Several central bank policy meets are also due this week. The US Fed meet is on July 25 and 26 of this week. There is an expectation that this could be the last time that the US Fed could hike rates. The ECB policy is on July 27 and the Bank of Japan will also meet towards the end of this week. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues ahead of today’s session

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — are set to open little changed on July 21, on caution after data from the US reignited concerns of a prolonged high-interest regime, while investors awaited key domestic earnings. India's GIFT Nifty on the NSE International Exchange was up 0.09 percent at 19,876.5, as of 8:12 a.m. IST. Both the Nifty 50 and Sensex hit fresh highs for the fifth straight session on July 20, with the Nifty 50 closing just shy of the 20,000 mark. The benchmarks are on course to extend gains for the fourth week in a row, adding over 2 percent each so far. The Senex also broke about 67,500. It seems that the 20,000 mark might be a little more elusive because of cues such as the Infosys numbers, and the tech giant cut its, which will probably deter investors. The global setup is also a bit mixed. The US markets ended a mixed session. Earnings continued to be in focus such as Netflix as well as Tesla. Asia is largely in the red. Meanwhile, Nifty Bank gained over 500 points in yesterday's trading session. The markets could probably hold on to optimism because of cues coming out regarding quarterly results. While Reliance Industries earnings will be out with numbers, post markets today. Separately, RBL Bank and AU Small Finance Bank will report their numbers on Saturday, which will really set the tone for Monday. The market will also watch out for Ultratech Cement, HDFC Life Insurance with all of these numbers due for earnings in today's trading session. Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues

The global set up is positive today morning, The Dow Jones gained 1 percent for the seventh day in a row. The Asian market picture is broadly higher. The Nikkei is up more than a percent, the Taiwan, South Korean markets are also in the green. But Hang Sang continues to remain under pressure. As the economic data from China over the weekend has been downbeat, it is putting pressure on the growth expectations. The GIFTY Nifty is also suggesting a higher start today. Yesterday, the markets opened up pretty well. The Nifty Bank was at an all-time high level, the mid cap index notched up a record, the small cap index was at an 18-month-high. But then some profit booking set in in the second half of the trading session and the markets were consolidating. Experts we have spoken to indicated that this is not a trend reversal. It’s just healthy time correction, profit booking, which happens after a fantastic rally, which we have witnessed over the last couple of days. In terms of flows, the DIIs sold Rs 1300 crore in the cash market, the FIIs net bought Rs 2100 crore. In earnings reaction, IndusInd bank, HDFC Bank and Federal Bank have reported their numbers.

Meanwhile, L&T Tech reported a big miss on revenue and ICICI Lombard reported a miss on the profitability and that is on account of higher losses due to the cyclone.

The GIFT Nifty is suggesting a higher start to today’s trading session. The momentum has firmly been in the hands of the bulls. Yesterday, both the Nifty and Sensex scaled another record high session. New day, new records. Yesterday, 19,700 was taken out with ease in the last one hour of trade. Meanwhile, flows appear to be fairly muted. The FIIs bought Rs 73 crore, while the DIIs net bought Rs 64 crore. In the first half of the trading session on Monday, IT was dominating – Infosys, TCS, Wipro, HCL – these were stocks at the high point of the day. In the second half of the trading session, profit booking set in in frontline IT names – Infosys and TCS. HDFC Bank reported a steady set of numbers. The stock has been an underperformer as versus private sector banks over the last three years. And the stock took off. It powered. Even in the other names – SBI, Kotak Mahindra Bank – also did quite well by the close of trade. Consequently, the markets conquered the 19700 mark. Today you have got the Fin Nifty expiry and important numbers from ICICI Lombard, ICICI Prudential, L&T Tech, IndusInd Bank and Polycab. A word in the global market is slightly higher. The Dow Jones was up 2.5 percent, the S&P 500 adding 4.5 percent, the Nasdaq gaining close to a percent. But it’s a big week of earnings even in the United States. Tesla, Netflix, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America. In terms of individual stocks that you should keep on your radar, there are three IT stocks. One of them is Infosys, which has announced that they have entered into an agreement with an existing client to provide AI and automation-led development, modernisation and maintenance. The total client target spend over the next five years is estimated to be $2 billion. LTIMindtree came out with its first quarter numbers, soft. The constant currency revenue growth is just up 0.1 percent quarter-on-quarter, lower than expectations. Tata Elexi’s growth has slowed down, with constant currency revenue growth at 1.2 percent, its margin are down around 20 bps quarter-on-quarter, but 300 basis points from last year. There has been a slowdown in transportation, one of its key verticals, which witnessed a softer growth. There is a big deal taking place in the mattress space. Sheela Foam has approved the acquisition of Kurlon. It will be acquiring a near 95 percent stake in Kurlon Enterprises for Rs 2,150 crore. Amara Raja is going to see a very large block deal today. Claros ARBL will be looking to exit their entire 14 percent stake, with a floor price set at Rs 51 per share at a 5 percent discount to where the stock closed yesterday.

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — are likely to open little changed on July 16 after hitting record highs in the last trading session on July 14. This on the hopes of the US Federal Reserve pausing its rate hiking cycle while weak China data remained an overhang. India's GIFT Nifty on the NSE International Exchange was up 0.09 percent at 19,636.5 as of 8:11 a.m. HDFC Bank will announce its results for the April to June 2023 quarter, and JSW Steel followed by Reliance on Friday. Meanwhile, the global setup continues to be very positive. US economists are calling it a goldilocks scenario because inflation is trending down while the labour market continues to be resilient. Economists who expected a recession in the US economy towards the end of the year are saying that now the base case is that the recession may be pushed forward to next year, the early part of next year and it could be a soft landing. The US economy is truly resilient to absorb the more than 500 basis points of rate hikes that we've seen so far in the last 12 months and it's not going to tip it into a very deep and severe recession. Back home, after spending a week consolidating a band of 19,300 to 19,500 the markets convincingly broke out. The Nifty 50 scaled to an all-time high of 19,550 mark HDFC Bank, will report its earnings numbers for the June 30 ended quarter. The stock has a 29 percent weight on the Nifty Bank. Other companies due to post their earnings include LTI Mindtree and Tata Elxsi. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more news and cues ahead of today’s session

Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty 50 are likely to open higher on July 14 even as there seems to be some slight worry given the selling pressure seen in the last hour of the trading session yesterday. The pullback was quite significant with the last session selling pressure taking the Nifty 50 lower quite significantly. The Nifty 50 ended near the flat line. As far as the global industries are concerned, the US market ended well in the green. In fact, the NASDAQ gained over a percent and a half, seeing the highest close since April 2022. European markets ended with strong gains continuing their rally up almost over 0.7 percent. Crude oil prices, however, gained further traction. Crude oil prices are trading at a fresh three month high with Brent futures yesterday gaining over a percent and a half to the $81.36 a barrel mark. Back home, banking stocks have been performing poorly compared to the rest of the market. On the other hand, a surprise pocket of out the performance was seen from the Nifty IT index with TCS and HCL Tech. Despite muted results, the tech stocks closed with gains while the metal pack was one that saw significant gains as well. Another key thing to watch out for is the Asian markets, which were lending a helping hand this morning and the GIFT Nifty indicated a slightly positive start for the domestic markets. Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more news and cues ahead of today’s session

The US market rally extended as the June CPI data was a lot softer than what analysts were anticipating. This has reduced chances of significant rate hikes as far as the US fed is concerned, which led to a rally in equity markets. The NASDAQ popped over a percent in yesterday's trading session. Even the European indices ended with strong gains yesterday.  However, crude oil prices too gain further traction, Brent futures for the first time since May went up over the $80 a barrel mark gaining close to a percent in yesterday's trading session. Meanwhile, the Indian markets in the last hour of trade yesterday witnessed a significant pull back from the day's highs. The last-hour trade of course was impacted by the index re-balancing flows as HDFC Limited bowed out of the bourses yesterday, before the corporate action where the company got merged with the HDFC Bank. We did see the Nifty IT index underperform. Today, all eyes will be on IT  stocks as we had two major results that came in post-market hours yesterday, with both TCS and HCL Tech. It has been a muted start for the first quarter results from the technology sector.  On another note, the core continues to remain sticky, while the IIP data was quite strong wth industrial production remaining quite robust.  Today, some of the key results to keep an eye out for include Wipro, Central Bank.  The GIFT Nifty is indicating a gap-up start for the Indian benchmark indices.

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — are set to open little changed on July 12, with investors eyeing both domestic and US inflation data for June as the quarterly results season kicks off. India's GIFT Nifty on the NSE International Exchange was down 0.01 percent at 19,535.50, as of 8:00 am. All eyes are on India's inflation print, due after market hours. A Reuters poll of economists showed that retail inflation likely snapped a four-month decline in June due to rising food prices. The overnight cues from both US as well as European markets are quite positive. US markets extended the rally with all indexes ending with positive gains while the European indexes supported the rally. They too ended with mild to marginal gains. However, crude oil prices yesterday jumped to a 10-week high with Brent futures up almost 2.5 percent to the $79.4 a barrel mark not coming closer to the Indian markets. Meanwhile, the Nifty continued to move up mainly aided in the last two trading sessions by the strong gains in Reliance Industries. The stock surged to a fresh 52-week high almost single-handedly taking the Nifty higher with it. Agro-chem majors have been given guidance cuts and have also been saying that 2024 could be a bit of a washout in terms of the demand that they are expecting. The consumer price inflation and the industrial production data are due today and it will be interesting to see the kind of numbers that come out as markets take further cues from there. The focus will also be on Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) as well as HCL Tech, both are due to report their earnings for the April to June period. Also, HDFC Limited is set to get delisted tomorrow following the HDFC Bank merger that came into effect on July 1. Therefore, today the market is likely to witness significant index rebalancing flows as Nifty, Sensex, and Nifty Bank, all of them will see changes in constituents.

Well, we're actually looking at quite a positive set of overnight cues, both from the US as well as the European markets. Asian markets too are in the green and the GIFT Nifty is also trading in the green, indicating a positive start for our own markets today morning. Overnight, most US markets ended in the green. Dow Jones ended over 0.6 percnet higher and US indices managed to snap a three-day losing streak. European indices too ended with marginal gains, while crude oil prices slipped over a percent in Monday’s trading session to the $77.69 a barrel mark. Meanwhile, the Indian markets on Monday witnessed a strong opening. They saw some further buying. However, there was a significant selling pressure in the second half and the markets managed to only end near the flatline and didn’t see significant gains. Advanced decline ratio, as far as the broader markets were concerned, were something that were skewed towards the decline or towards the laggard. This ensured that the broader markets underperformed the benchmark index. Reliance Industries was one of the top Nifty gainers. It aided the market’s up move, given its high weightage in the Nifty index. Reliance’s outperformance actually marked the underperformance of quite a few stocks within the Nifty from other stocks as well. Yesterday, the metal pack too witnessed a lot of buying interest. It will be interesting to see if that interest can sustain today. The record date for the mega impending merger of HDFC Limited and HDFC Bank has been to set to July 13. HDFC Limited, which is a part of many key indices such as the Nifty, Sensex as well as passive indices such as the MSCI, etc, will be deleted from these indices. According to the merger ratio, HDFC Limited shares would now be transferred to HDFC Bank shares. So you will see changes coming in tomorrow in Nifty, Sensex, etc. Two names to watch out for – LTIMindtree which come in place of HDFC Limited in the Nifty and JSW Steel will be replacing it in Sensex.

Indian markets continue to be an outlier as far as global equity markets are concerned. While most of the global equity markets are seeing a pullback from the recent record rally that's been set worldwide in equity markets, Indian markets continue to display their strength even in the week gone. In the week gone by, the US markets ended with cuts on Friday, while the European markets ended with gains, following steep cuts in the previous sessions. However, the handover has been slightly muted. Also, given the fact that oil prices are a bit of a bump up as far as Friday is concerned. The Indian markets have a lot of cues to watch out for. The markets did see a significant sell-off on Friday. However, despite Friday’s steep fall, the Indian markets have ended with gains of over a percent in the week gone by. This continues to indicate that the bulls are in firm grip at this point of time. The Asian markets today did see a muted start, but have recovered since then. GIFT Nifty is indicating a positive start. When it comes to primary market activity, new listings have seen a tremendous surge and Ideaforge was one. It is a key example where the stock almost doubled on the listing day itself. Today, we will see the listing of Cyient DLM and its subscription was very strong. The other key data point would be to watch out for the monthly mutual fund data. AMFI will be releasing the June mututal fund data and the SIP numbers especially will be something that the markets will be keenly anticipating. Lastly, the results season will kick off this week, with TCS and other tech majors reporting their numbers.

The trading session on Thursday was definitely a very good one for the Indian benchmark indices. The market surged to another record high. The Nifty has now posted a record close for the sixth-straight session, extending its gaming streak to eight consecutive sessions and has rallied 865 points in eight sessions and has crossed 19,500 on an intra-day basis yesterday. The midcaps outperformed, with the advanced decline ratio steady at around 2 to 1 on a year-to-day basis. The midcaps have given returns of around 15%. All the gains came in on Thursday despite caution over the FOMC minutes. FIIs continued to buy into the Indian equity markets. They bought around Rs 2,641 crore in yesterday’s trading session. DIIs however sold Rs 2,351 crore. Today, the set up in the global space seems weak because the US markets closed in the red. Asia is largely weak at this point in time reacting to the US markets. Meanwhile, the GIFT Nifty is indicating a bit of a flat start. It seems as though India is de marketing itself and moving away from what the global markets are doing, whether or not this trend continues is something that the Street will watch out for. As of now, we have a couple of important cues such as the healthy FII flows, the monsoon progress, Q1 progress from companies, which seems to be aiding momentum. 1:49Remember we also have updates from consumer facing companies such as Titan, Dabur, etc, All these stocks would be in focus in today's trading session. The other big queue is the US non-farm payrolls data as well as the unemployment data, which are due today and which we will be reacting to on Monday.

On Wednesday, we did have the frontline indices consolidate and the midcaps outperform. But, the Nifty still posted a record close and the midcap index was also at a record close in Wednesday’s trading session. The momentum was intact because we had 52.8 percent of the stocks which advanced in yesterday's trading session. India's market capitalisation hit a record high crossing Rs 300 lakh crore for the first time ever.Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) continued to pump in money and they bought around Rs 1,603 crore in yesterday's trading session. In terms of the global markets, the FOMC minutes pointed to a rate hikes at a slower pace. The US markets which closed marginally lower, Asia which is weak and the GIFT Nifty which is indicating a marginally lower start as well. Brent crude did see a marginally up move. Brent and crude are trading around $76 per barrel Other things to watch out for include the financials, where the Wednesday’s fall was led by the weakness in the HDFC twins post the Q1 updated of the merged entity. However, we did have the Nifty PSU bank index which outperformed and was up around 1 percent on Wednesday. Do watch out for continued gains in the broader markets. On Wednesday, 65 percent of the stocks advanced in the BSE 400 mid and small cap index in Wednesday's trading session. It is also the Nifty 50 weekly options expiry today.

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — are likely to open little changed on July 5 amid caution due to concerns of escalating trade conflict between the US and China, and as investors await the US Federal Reserve's June monetary policy meeting minutes. The momentum, however, continues for the domestic markets considering that the markets hit a record high for the fourth consecutive day. In terms of global markets, the US markets are closed on account of Independence Day. Asia, however, is largely lower due to services activity slowing both in China as well as Japan. Brent crude is hovering at around $75 per barrel. Indices and queues to watch out for include midcaps that are underperforming while financials are outperforming. In the US, investors await the minutes of the Fed's June policy meeting, due at 11:30 pm tonight, for cues into the monetary policy trajectory. While recent data after the June Fed meeting signalled moderation in inflation, the odds of a 25 basis points rate hike in its upcoming July 26 meeting stood at 86.2 percent, according to Reuters.

Indian equity benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 —  are likely to extend their gaining streak to the sixth day in a row on July 4, after a stellar five-day run. The structure and momentum seem intact for the domestic market after it closed at a record high for the third straight session. Overnight, the US markets eked out small gains in what was a truncated session. Asia, meanwhile, has largely fallen ahead of the Australian rate decision. Oil is at around $74 per barrel, which rallied on Saudi Arabia and Russia supply cuts in August. There is not much in terms of cues coming in for the global markets, but the markets will be watching out for the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes that are due this week. Overall, it seems as though the structure remains positive and the Nifty may attain highs at a steady pace. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more news and cues ahead of today’s session

We are all set to begin trading for the second half of 2023, with the first half being extremely strong for equity markets despite multiple worries of a US-led recession and also spiralling interest rates. Now, when you're talking about the first half of 2023, US markets were very strong with the Nasdaq gaining over 31 percent for the first half of the year. And even June-end has been very strong with the US markets, giving a very strong handover for the rest of the globe. European indices too were very strong and the oil prices managed to go ahead and post the fourth-straight quarterly decline. Coming to the Indian markets, all of the frontline indices have ended at record highs and are trading near record highs. Another very big development today is the fact that the SGX Nifty that we used to allude to earlier has moved to Gujarat Gandhinagar and will be known as the GIFT Nifty. The GIFT Nifty is now indicating a very strong start for our markets for the second half. Another important thing to note is that in the second half of this year, it is important to note if this particular rally that we are seeing sustains or not. Last week, the pharma stocks, AMC stocks were some of the top gainers. The key question is can the rally sustain post-Q1 results? The cues to watch out for in today;s trading session includes auto stocks, as the auto majors such as Maruti, Tata Motors, Hero MotoCorp, etc, delivered their sales numbers for the month gone by; quarterly updates from companies such as UltraTech Cement, CSB Bank, etc are expected to be quite positive. Primary market activity will continue to remain in focus. Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more news and cues ahead of today’s session

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — are likely headed for a gap-up start on June 30 as SGX Nifty was trading with a premium of more than 110 points from Nifty Futures Wednesday close. The futures and options contracts July series will begin today as the Indian markets resume after a short one-day break. Overnight cues remained positive in the US markets as the economy’s first quarter GDP came in very strong at 2 percent. Back home, the day before yesterday's trading session was a historical day as the Nifty 50, Sensex and Nifty Bank indices touched fresh all-time highs. The momentum is extremely strong and as the broader end of the markets advances out, continuing to outpace declines, the number of stocks near all-time highs, near 52-week highs is at an all-time high as well. A couple of very large block deals came in, especially in the Adani group stocks. The important cues to watch out for primary market activity remain quite strong today as another company called PKD Ventures would be open for subscription. Today is a large day to subscribe to the Cyient DLM IPO. Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more news and cues ahead of today’s session

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — are set to open higher on June 28, following gains on Wall Street after witnessing broad-based buying in the previous session, with the benchmark blue chip Nifty 50 inching towards an all-time high. India's NSE stock futures listed on the Singapore Exchange were up 0.25 percent at 18,858, as of 08:08 am. The Nifty 50 is less than half a percent shy of its all-time high level. On Tuesday, there was a very sharp surge in both the HDFC Bank and HDFC Limited on the back of comments from Deepak Parekh that the merger is now nearing and the company had decided on the record date as well. On the back of that, there was also a significant surge in names like LTI Mindtree and JSW Steel, given they could be likely candidates that could come into the Nifty. Meanwhile, the derivatives June series contracts is expiring today. So, some volatility can be expected towards the latter half of the trading session. The US market, on the other hand, bounced back from the previous day's lows and in fact, the tech stocks that bore the brunt of selling pressure, actually led the US markets higher. Back home, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) board meeting is scheduled today to discuss the proposed total expense ratio changes, the FPI disclosure norms and the mutual fund total expense ratio. All of this will have a significant impact especially in the mutual fund universe and a few listed stocks from the mutual fund space.

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — are seen opening marginally higher on June 27 after trading in a narrow range in the previous session, as investors look for new triggers, while interest rate worries are likely to keep investors on edge. There is also a slightly mute clip of a handover from the global markets, especially the US market. While most of the US markets ended in the red, the NASDAQ was a cause of worry as the tech-heavy index fell by over a percent. As the tech sell-off continued, Tesla went down over six percent as Goldman Sachs downgraded this stock and NV shares too fell over 3.5 percent in the trading session yesterday. Meanwhile, back home, the Nifty 50 now needs to hold on to its 20-day exponential moving average which is around the 18,650 level. Resistance is being seen where the Nifty is trying to breach the higher level. While the overall markets were quite muted, there was significant action in the primary markets where the ideaForge Technology IPO got fully subscribed within two hours of opening for subscription already. It is subscribed over 3.5 times. The shares of Cyient will be in focus as one of the company’s subsidiaries Cyient DLM will be opening its IPO for subscription today.

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 —  were set for a muted open on June 26, on the heels of their first weekly loss in over a month, as crude prices rose on supply concerns after a short-lived mutiny by mercenaries in Russia. India's NSE stock futures listed on the Singapore Exchange were up 0.02 percent at 18,718, as of 07:48 am. Last week, the blue-chip Nifty 50 index consolidated just shy of record levels, while the S&P BSE Sensex eased after hitting an all-time high, weighed down by hawkish central bank commentary. The US market slipped on Friday with all of the three indices ending low between 0.5 to 1.2 percent. The dollar index sped toward the $103 mark. However, it must be noted markets are seeing a bit of profit booking from actual record closing levels and the Nifty 50 coming within a point of a record high in last week's trading session. The small-cap and mid-cap indices also saw some profit booking during the week. The next support for Nifty 50 is seen as a 20-day exponential moving average at 18,642. Last week, the Nifty broke four weeks of consecutive weekly gains to end low by close to percent. Also, this will be a truncated week as the market will be closed on June 28. Three IPOs will open up for subscription this week including Ideaforge Technology, Cyient DLM and PKH Ventures. Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues and news ahead of today’s market session

The global markets are quite mixed. We got a mixed handover from the US markets. The S&P and Nasdaq snapped their three-day losing streak. While Dow Jones was absolutely flat with some negative bias. Apple hit fresh new highs, so definitely something to track as far as the technology space is concerned.  Asian markets are mixed yet again. Hang Seng is down 1.4 percent, Taiwan and China are shut for a holiday. But we do have Nikkei which is higher in trade today. Now core inflation numbers in Japan reported came in at 3.2 percent versus an estimate of 3.4 percent. Inflation in Japan is still above Bank of Japan's target of 2 percent.  Bank of England hiked rates by 50 basis points versus an estimate of 25 basis points. This is the 13th-consecutive rate hike from Bank of England. So central bank action continues to be taking the centre stage yet again.  As far as our own markets are concerned, Indian markets closed at the day's low after a lot of volatility. On Thursday, we were just one point away from the record high, but we could not attain that. Sensex was down 363 points from the record high levels of 63,602. It did hit a record high. Mid cap index nabbed its eight day winning streak. Nifty did get some support from the HDFC twins that is HDFC Bank and HDFC but Reliance was the one which acted as a drag.  Now the immediate Nifty spot is at 18,757 and if we talk about Nifty Bank, it has been consolidating at the 20-day exponential moving average and it has just been hovering around those levels. So a breakout from your will be a key to track as well.  FIIs sold Rs 693 crore in cash yesterday, DIIs bought Rs 219 crore. So flows are also in favour of a sell figure right now. So it is important to track because the SGX Nifty is indicating that the start could be in the red, 14 points lower, could be muted to a flattish start for our own markets. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues and news ahead of today’s session

We are seeing some negative cues coming in from the global markets today, June 22, 2023. US markets fell for the third-straight day and this was fuelled by the fact that US Fed chair spoke about more rate hikes by the end of this year, pouring some cold water on expectations that the era of tightening was at least over for now, but it hasn’t. The futures are flat right now, but we do have Asian markets largely shut in trade today. Hang Seng, Taiwanese index and Chinese market are shut for a holiday, but Nikkei and Cosby are higher in trade. This is something we are tracking closely. SGX Nifty is indicating that the start for our own markets could be in the red. So very close to record high, but this testimony from Jerome Powell is something that could keep the market moves under some lid. The Bank of England will announce its policy decision today, an important event to track as well for our own markets. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, we posted record close, led by HDFC HDFC Bank, TCS, and Reliance. All these heavy weights, Sensex, Nifty and midcap index ended at record closing highs and midcap index posted record closes for the 12th-straight session. Major buying was seen in financial services, especially the NBFCs. So now at this level, the immediate support for Nifty is at 18800 and the immediate resistance is at 19000. So if Nifty crosses that level, there could be some more rally above these levels. Nifty midcap 100 and small cap 100 gained for the eighth-straight session, so that continues to be in focus as well. The broader markets are doing well on the benchmark, there could be some pause today in terms of a rally because the global markets are suggesting the same. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues and news ahead of today’s session

As we begin a fresh new day, the cues we are getting from the US markets are weak, with both Dow Jones and S&P 500 down. After witnessing a stellar rally last week and a holiday on Monday, the US markets have made a comeback, but on the negative side. Asian markets are also lower as Wall Street has a seen a cool off in its rally. Hang Seng is down 1.5 percent, we have the Taiwanese index lower as well. Most of the Asian markets are lower in trade today. The SGX Nifty too is indicating a start in the red for our own markets right now. It is indicating a cut of around 20 points now for our own markets. For our own markets, Tuesday was a stellar rally from the lows, especially in the second half recovery which helped Nifty close at the day. The high midcap index continues to outperform as it ended at a record high for the second-straight session. IT stocks and Reliance Industries led to the Nifty gains on Tuesday. Now, the Nifty resistance is seen at 18,850 to 18,900 and support for the Nifty is seen at 18,700. Even Nifty Bank recovered 421 points from the lows to 43,767. Now, Nifty Bank’s 20-day moving average is at 43,967 is the immediate resistance. This will be an important level to watch out for as well. In terms of fund flows, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) net bought Rs 19072 crore, while foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold the same amount in cash markets. So there is some selling, which has come by some profit taking, maybe after the run that we’ve seen very close to record high levels. But, we’ll have to see it looks like it could be another day in seeing some dips. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues and news ahead of today’s session

This morning, there were no cues coming in from the US markets as they were shut for a holiday. However, Asian markets are in focus as China has cut its five-year loan prime rate by 10 basis points and one-year loan prime rate by 10 basis points to 3.55 percent. This comes in after the Chinese Central bank had cut key interest rates last week itself. Japanese stocks too are in focus as Berkshire Hathaway have raised stakes in five trading firms, all of them higher in trade right now. But if we look at the benchmarks or the headline index, like Hang Seng, is low in trade. SGX Nifty too is indicating that the start for our own markets could be in the negative, yet again, a 50-point downtick is what it is indicating. As far as our own markets are concerned there was an expectation of record highs. Nifty opened higher but saw profit booking from those levels, closed lower by 70 points. PSU Banking index, IT and financial services were the top gainers on Monday. In fact, even India VIX< which is the volatility index, was up 3.5 percent in Monday’s trading session. The defence sector continues to be in focus, on the back of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's US visit. Some of these stocks continued to make new highs on Monday as well. Today, is where there is some there is some news related to inflows that have come by. Bank Nifty, which has been trading around the 20-day exponential moving average, its resistance comes at 44,050 support comes at 43,400. Meanwhile, the Nifty support is at 18,600.It is a very crucial level to watch out for. If it breaks below that, we could see further pressure on the benchmark index, but looks like it is expected to be a negative start for our own market. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues and news ahead of today’s session

This is a fresh new trading week and the cues for today are taking cues from last week when Nifty50 closed high for the fourth consecutive week and gains in financials and FMCG-led markets higher. Sensex, Nifty and midcap closed at intra-day highs on Friday's trading session and Nifty is now just 61 points away from its all-time high of 18,887.6 points. Now the big question of course, this week is will the Nifty be able to reclaim its new high? The midcap index too was up 3 percent for the week. It hit its record high, four out of the five trading sessions. Nifty FMCG was up 3.5 percent last week and hit record high, three out of five trading sessions. Let's talk about some flows. In June, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have bought Rs 6900 crore in cash, so far. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) have net bought Rs 4,330 in cash. And the key levels to watch for Nifty. On the support side or the downside it’s 18650 to 18700. Resistance is at 18,950 to 19,000. These will be important levels to watch apart from the fact that we are tracking whether Nifty scales its record highs or not. Last week, US markets they closed lower. US markets will be shut today for a holiday. So we won't be getting those cues tomorrow. Japanese markets are mixed. Hang Seng and Taiwanese index are lower right now. Japanese markets are hovering around the 33-year-highs and yen is at a 15-year-low versus the euro after Bank of Japan's decision. SGX Nifty is absolutely flat. So, these cues are a little difficult to read. However, Nifty levels will be tracked closely today. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues and news ahead of today’s session

There was definitely a bit of caution on Thursday after the US Fed’s hawkish comments.So, the Nifty and Sensex were profit booking. After three days of gains, the Nifty nifty failed to hold on to 18,700. Financials were under pressure. Bank Nifty saw an over 500 points cut in the index. Midcaps saw more strength, so the midcap index was at a record high and continued to gain in terms of global cues. We also had the ECB policy outcome. It did hike rates by 25bps.Europe closed slightly lower. The US markets continued to show strength and closed higher. It was the highest levels intra-day levels that the US markets have seen since April 2022. Asian stocks were mixed. SGX Nifty was indicating a positive start. In terms of flows, the net bought Asia mixed SGX indicating a positive start in terms of flows, the FIIs net bought over Rs 300 crore. The Axis Bank block deal was a part of the flows. We are likely to continue seeing stock specific interest in our markets. Also watch out for the FTSE index changes which come into effect from today's market close. India could receive net inflows of around $250 million to $270 million.  Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues and news ahead of today’s session

India’s benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — are likely headed for a subdued start on June 15, as SGX Nifty indicated this morning after the US Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates unchanged. Also, as expected, the Fed paused but was a hawkish pause. It seems to be undecided about July but has indicated that there are more hikes ahead. Meanwhile, the US markets are a closed mix. There are other global queues too to watch out for. For example, China has cut its key policy rates for the first time in 10 months because the economic data not meeting expectations. New Zealand, on the other hand, slipped into a technical recession. GDP was down 0.1 percent in the March 2023 quarter and the previous quarter was revised lower as well. Asian markets were mixed at the time of recording the podcast. In the domestic market, the Nifty 50 scaled above 18,750 for the second consecutive day. A couple of key factors to watch out for include the Bank Nifty considering that it underperformed in yesterday's trading session and metal stocks considering China factors. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues and news ahead of today’s session

It was a good day of trade on Tuesday, ahead of the big cues. The Nifty scaled 18,700. The India CPI, steady global cues, lower crude prices, aided sentiments. The US inflation data came in at 4 percent for May, which is at an over two-year low, which also boosted sentiment in terms of what the US Fed could do. Hence, US markets closed higher, Asian markets are largely higher at this point and the SGX Nifty is indicating a bump up as well. Well, all will now be on the US fed decision today. The expectation is that it will skip a rate hike. The Street is anticipating a 90 percent chance that the US Fed will not hike rates. The US Fed has implemented 10 consecutive rate hikes over the past 14 months. Interest rates in the US are now at the highest level in 16 years. Back home, the broader market out performance will be something that the Street will watch. The midcap index is at a record high. It rallied around 1.8 percent on a week to date basis. The small cap index is up around a 1.5 percent on a week-to-date-basis. The FIIs have net bought around Rs 1677 crore in Tuesday’s trading session. This is after two consecutive days of selling. The DIIs have net sold around Rs 203 crore. These are some of the market cues to watch out for today. Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more news and cues ahead of today’s session

Let’s begin with what the cues were overnight. Wall Street saw a strong close, with Dow Jones ending 0.5 percent up, S&P 500 up almost 1 percent, while the Nasdaq continued to march forward. Nasdaq was up 1.5 percent, led higher by Apple. After it unveiling the Vision Pro last week, the Apple stock has been on the tear. Yesterday as well it hit a fresh all-time high with the market cap of the tech major nearing almost $3 trillion. That’s not all, we have a lot of data to watch out for this week. Starting with tonight itself. All eyes will be on the US May inflation data where you're expecting 4 percent inflation in May, which would be an increase of 40.1 percent month-on-month. This is extremely important largely because the US Fed meet outcome is contingent on the way. The Nifty has been ranged around 18,600-mark.The important part is that we found resistance at levels closer to 18,700, whereas support has come in as low as 18550 itself. Meanwhile, the FIIs sold for the second day in the cash market on Monday and sold around Rs 627 crore. Domestic institutional investors bought around Rs 1800-odd crore. There is nothing really to worry about, but a trend that we have to monitor closely. Today is also a Tuesday, which means it is the Nifty financial services expiry today. In the last hour, we will watch out for HDFC twins. Watch out for ICICI Bank and Bajaj Fiserv. These stocks account for the major rate on the financial services index. The Nifty Bank closed mildly below its 20-day moving average of 43980, so that’s a level we expected to cover in the first hour of trade itself. Whereas the Nifty will find firm support at 18454, which is its 20-day moving average. In terms of stocks to watch out for, keep an eye out on the oil marketing companies and the oil companies as Brent slipped to $72 overnight. But importantly, watch out for Zee as the SEBI has barred Subhash Chandra and Punit Goenka to hold any key managerial position in the company. Does that change things for the Sony-Zee merger or not? It’s something we'll be watching out for. Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more news and cues ahead of today’s session

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — are set to open higher on June 12 as rising bets of a rate pause by the US Federal Reserve aided sentiment, ahead of domestic retail inflation data later in the day. India's NSE stock futures listed on the Singapore Exchange were up 0.37 percent at 18,679.50, as of 7:57 am. On Friday, Wall Street equities closed at new highs for 2023 on rising odds of a rate hike pause by the US central bank in its upcoming meeting on June 14.  Back home, the Indian market closed with minor cuts following what was a range session. Meanwhile, Brent crude is down for the second consecutive week below $75 per barrel. Later in the day, India will report its CPI inflation data for the month of May. Last month, the annual retail inflation cooled to an 18-month low in April, below the Reserve Bank of India's upper tolerance level of 6 percent, as food prices softened. Inflation as measured by the annual change in the consumer price index (CPI), eased to 4.70 percent in April from 5.66 percent in the previous month. Meanwhile, the US CPI data for May is due tomorrow. Another thing to watch out for is the precursor to the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on June 13 and 14. According to Reuters, there is a 71 percent chance of a pause in the June FOMC meeting which will be the first time since early 2022. Last week, the domestic market recorded minor gains and was up for the third straight week. Many stocks are at fresh 52-week highs like Axis Bank, Britannia, IndusInd Bank and Indian Oil Corporation. Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more news and cues ahead of today’s session

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — are set to open higher on June 9, tracking global peers, as the increased probability of a rate pause from the US central bank lifted sentiment a day after the Reserve Bank of India kept rates unchanged. The SGX Nifty is suggesting a bit of a positive start for June 9 after yesterday's collapse in the market on the back of the hawkish pause on interest rates by RBI. Economists say RBI is going to stay on pause and hold rates for longer than what they were expecting earlier. So if earlier, the economists were hoping for a rate cut by the end of November or December 2023, it's now been pushed back by at least two to three months, but it depends on the inflation and growth dynamics. So, the situation continues to remain very fluid. The reason why the Nifty 50 could see a bit of an uptick in the morning is because global markets are up. In the US, S&P 500 had its best close in 2023, the NASDAQ rallied nearly a percent and initial jobless claims were better than what the street was anticipating at 261,000. Basically, when jobless claims are higher that means there are more people looking for a job, meaning the market is weak. It is something that the Fed is looking at and wants the labour market to soften. It does give the Fed more reason to be on pause this time around in the upcoming policy meet. Asian markets, meanwhile, were broadly higher across the board. Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more news and cues ahead of today’s session

Yesterday, the Nifty broke out. It finally conquered the resistance levels of 18,600 to 18,700 to close significantly higher. This morning, the SGX Nifty is pretty flat. The US markets too had had a mixed session. While Dow Jones was up 0.3 percent, we did see profit taking in NASDAQ. NASDAQ was down 1.3 percent. But the Russell 2000, a smallcap index, saw a rally of 1.8 percent. So the broadening of the US market rally continued and that is a bit of a positive. But we've got such a big cue, we've got the RBI monetary policy and that decision will be known in around two hours from now. So the market could take a bit of a wait-and-watch approach before deciding its next move. So that's why the SGX Nifty is on the flatter side. In terms of the other big notable cues, everyone's watching out for whether we can go back to our all-time-high levels. The all-time high level on the Nifty was 18,888.7 hit on December 1, following which markets went into a bit of a corrective zone. Then came the news of Adani and US regional banks and the markets sold off considerably in the February and April. Since then it has been moving up. In fact, if you remember towards March-end, the Nifty was at a level below 17,000 and the markets have made a spectacular up move over April and May. But over the last couple of days, it was consolidating within a tight band of 18,400 to 18,600. On Wednesday, we witnessed the first signs of a breakout. Now, the question is whether we can test our all-time high levels. We're just about 160 points away from that in terms of flows. Both the FIIs and DIIs were buyers in the cash market. In terms of some stocks you should keep on your radar -- both Tata Motors and Tata Communications -- held their analysts meet or investor day on Wednesday. Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more news and cues ahead of today’s session

SGX Nifty is indicating a positive start for Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty50. On Tuesday, Nifty closed closer to the 18,600 level in a late surge. Nifty witnessed quite a bit of weakness.  Nifty has faced resistance around the 18,600 mark and it has not been able to go ahead and hit or go across the 18,700 level with conviction.  Talking about overnight markets, US markets were largely flat, with the Dow Jones incidentally closing almost flat and S&P 500 2 percent higher, and Nasdaq was around 0.4 percent up.  However, the majority of the action lay at the broader end of the US markets with the Russell 2000 index gaining over 2.7 percent in yesterday’s trading session.  On Wednesday, keep an out for defence names. There is a lot of news flow in terms of memorandums of understanding (MoUs) being signed, the german defence minister visiting. So watch out ofr names such as HAL, shipbuilding companies, etc. All of these stocks have done significantly well in the trading session.  And the key that markets will be watching out for would be the outcome for the RBI monetary policy. Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more news and cues ahead of today’s session

The SGX 50 is suggesting a slight down take, a cut of around 10 to 20 points to begin trade with. The reason for that is the US markets have closed with minor cuts. The Dow Jones was down 0.6 percent, the S&P500 ended lower by 0.2 percent. The Nasdaq was down close to about 0.1 percent. So global markets have taken a bit of a breather. There is a pause at the rally and that might reflect in the Indian market. But separately for the Indian markets, we've been facing some resistance. Now Monday was the fourth instance in the last six trading sessions that the Nifty50 index crossed the mark of 18,600 each day but failed to sustain above those levels. So this 18,062 in fact was the intraday high on the Nifty last week. This morning, we don't have the global queues to propel us higher. The big thing to watch out this week is the RBI monetary policy, but that will be known only on Thursday. On the other hand, midcaps have been doing well. Now, the midcap index just was up about 0.14 percent on Monday. It wasn't too much of a gain, but the midcap index was higher for the 11th straight session and it did close at record levels in terms of flows. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) bought Rs 1,195 crore in cash. Meanwhile, the foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold Rs 701 crore in cash market in the third consecutive day of selling in the cash market. In terms of stocks, JK cement has acquired Charlie Cement. BHEL has got a ‘downgrade’ by Nomura. They’ve lowered the rating to a reduced target price brought down to Rs 61 per share. They are concerned about the rising receivables, the debtor days, they believe the recent order winds are aggressive, so the scope of margin recovery could be less than what the street is anticipating. Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more news and cues ahead of today’s session

The SGX Nifty is suggesting a solid start to begin trade with and that's because the US markets ended with gains of 1 to 2 percent. The Down Jones was up 2.1 percent, the S&P 500 was rallying 1.5 percent, and NASDAQ gaining 1.1 percent. The Nasdaq notched its sixth straight week of gains for the first time since 2020. The reason for the optimism and the rally in the global markets was one. The non-farm payroll data was stronger than what the street was anticipating, which means the labour data continues to be resilient yet. The street doesn't think that the fed will continue with its rate hiking cycle. The US Fed will be meeting on June 13 and 14, and the expectations are that it will pause at the upcoming meeting. The reason for the same is because the hourly wages that ticked lower than what the street anticipating and also the unemployment rate also went up. There was a big outperforming seed in the broader markets last week. So while the lift was volatile, it ended with a gain of just about 10.2 percent oscillating between 18400 to 18700. In terms of flows on Friday, the domestic investors bought Rs 581 crore, while the foreign investors sold Rs 658 crore. The big event to track this week will be the RBI monetary policy on June 8.  . In terms of individual stocks, Mankind, Glenmark, SBI Life, among other stocks should be on your radar. Tune to Marketbuzz Podcast for more news and cues ahead of today’s session

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — will start the June 2 session on the back of strong global cues. As of 8:20 this morning, SGX Nifty on the Singapore Stock Exchange was up 0.4 percent, indicating a positive start for the domestic market. On June 1, however, markets closed near the day's low as financial heavyweights underperformed, the Nifty Bank ended with a cut of around a percent against a flat close for the Sensex and the Nifty 50, while the mid gaps relatively outperformed. The big queue globally is that the US debt ceiling has passed the Senate vote in the US. Markets are now trading at the highest level that we've seen since August Asia is largely in the green. Crude is off multi-month lows. Another big queue to watch out for globally would be the US non-farm payroll data. A strong jobs report is likely to fuel expectations of another rate hike by the Fed in June.
