Sensex Today | Market Close Highlights : Chinese shares led a rally around most of Asia on Monday amid a broadly optimistic global economic backdrop, but Japanese shares tumbled with the yen pinned near levels that have traders on guard for a currency intervention.

U.S. stock futures also pointed firmly higher following a market holiday on Friday, when the Federal Reserve released data showing their preferred inflation measure indicated price pressures are further easing, bolstering bets for a June interest rate cut.

Expectations for easier U.S. monetary policy lifted gold to a fresh record high, while crude oil remained firm amid a tighter supply-demand picture, with China's economy improving and expectations of OPEC output cuts.

Mainland Chinese blue chips rallied 1.39% as of 0600 GMT, leading regional markets higher after a private survey showed the country's manufacturing activity expanded at the fastest pace in 13 months in March, reinforcing official data on the weekend that showed the first expansion in six months in March.

Singapore's Straits Times Index added 0.35%, and South Korea's Kospi edged up 0.08%.

"Tamed" U.S. inflation "may offer some validation for the Fed to kickstart its rate-cutting process sooner rather than later," said Yeap Jun Rong, a market analyst at IG.

"With Wall Street eyeing another run for a new record high, that may keep the broader risk-on sentiments going."

However, Japan's Nikkei tumbled 1.4% as of the close, weighed down by worries about yen-buying intervention that would hurt exporter profit outlooks and returns for foreign investors.

U.S. S&P 500 futures added 0.33% and tech-focused Nasdaq futures gained 0.54%.

Many markets are closed on Monday for Easter holidays, including Australia and Hong Kong in Asia, and the United Kingdom and Germany.

In currencies, the dollar was unchanged at 151.375 yen, remaining near the centre of its narrow trading range over the past week and a half.

Official warnings of intervention have stepped up since the yen weakened to a 34-year low of 151.975 per dollar last week, and Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki repeated on Monday that he won't rule out any options against excessive moves.

Leading cryptocurrency bitcoin was little changed at $69,410, and has traded mostly sideways for the past week.

Spot gold was up 1.2% at $2,258.12 per ounce, after hitting an all-time high of $2,265.49 earlier in the session.

Brent crude rose 29 cents, or 0.3%, to $87.29 a barrel after rising 2.4% last week. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $83.48 a barrel, up 31 cents, or 0.4%, following a 3.2% gain last week.

Sensex Today Live : Q4 results preview: IT sector likely to report muted revenue growth with stable margins; all eyes on FY25 guidance

Sensex Today Live : The financial year 2023-2024 is projected to conclude on a less than robust note for Indian IT services firms, with the results for the March quarter anticipated to reflect restrained growth in the face of persistent challenges.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), the nation's premier software services exporter, is set to inaugurate the earnings season for the fourth quarter ending March 2024 on April 12. Infosys will follow with its Q4 results on April 18, and HCL Technologies will disclose its earnings for the March quarter on April 26.

Sensex Today Live : When the farm sector cooled, construction rode to the rescue

Sensex Today Live : In the financial year ending on 31 March, construction emerged as the saving grace for rural employment, as agricultural output growth faltered due to inconsistent rainfall. Consequently, there was minimal strain on guaranteed rural jobs, which typically serve as a safety net in rural areas when the agricultural sector is in decline, as indicated by official data.

Even with the agricultural sector's slowdown, the average monthly demand for work under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) in FY24 was only 27.72 million people, a figure barely different from the 27.63 million in FY23. (Read the full story here.)

Sensex Today Live : SBICAPS presents report on cement sector, says cement demand growth is set to outpace GDP growth for a second fiscal running

Sensex Today Live : India is the world’s second largest cement producer; its low per capita consumption and construction impulses offer ample growth headroom

Cement’s association with a high GDP multiplier and employment creation makes it an important sector globally. A high share of the GFCF in the GDP augurs well for cement demand, and the latter’s growth is set to outpace GDP growth for a second straight fiscal in FY24

Key end user industries such as infrastructure and housing are in the middle of a structural boom, indicating this is more than just pre-election fever

The government’s laser focus on infrastructure is long term. Housing is supported by “Housing for All", as also structural trends such as urbanization and premiumisation. Therefore, we reckon that cement demand post-elections will only slightly moderate in FY25, remaining strong in the medium term

Capacity utilization levels to emerge healthier in the medium term as companies have rationalized supply additions geographically and temporally

Operating ratio is expected to rise 6pp between FY23 and FY27 to 75%, as demand grows faster at 8.3% CAGR vs. supply at 5.5% CAGR. It is important to note that cement demand is highly seasonal and thus large players operate close to 100% in peak season, necessitating expansions. The systematically higher utilization levels in North would foster organic capex, while balanced supply-demand amidst strong demand would facilitate inorganic buys in East and Central regions

Bigger players optimize costs better ensuring marked differential in profitability: they are set to expand organically & inorganically

Large players have owned mines, captive power plants, and economies of scale, minimizing costs. This helps them generate generous profits and much of their incremental capex would be funded by internal accruals. Some could also channel their cash into related horizontal expansions. Incremental debt requirement would come from aspirant mid-size players trying to acquire size. The few top players yet to list could explore that option to meet needs

Sensex Today Live : SBICAPS gives fiscal position and borrwing update,says lengthening debt maturities, today's standard in fiscal management

Sensex Today Live : In the first 11 months of FY24, the Central government's fiscal deficit has reached 86.5% of the FY24RE. Total receipts amounted to 22.45 trn, which is 81.5% of RE. This sum is composed of 18.49 trn in net tax revenue and 3.6 trn in non-tax revenue.

The strong performance in tax revenues, along with a moderate increase in revenue expenditures, suggests that the fiscal deficit for the year is on track to meet the revised estimates for FY24.

H1 planned borrowing as a share of FY25BE is expected to be low at 53%, lower than historical average. Gross borrowing of 7.5trn is significantly lower than 8.88trn in H1FY24.

Due to stringent fiscal deficit target of 5.1% of GDP, gross borrowing would remain lower for FY25 vs. FY24 at ~Rs. 14.1 trn

Weighted average maturity of issuances in H1FY25 is planned to be 20.8 years vs. 17.9 years in H1FY24. In H1FY25, >15 years maturity issuance would be 51% of total issuance.

The Centre has newly introduced the ultra-long 50-year security, and greatly increased the quantum of the 40-year G-sec. The elongation of maturity profile is reflective of increasing demand from more patient investors

There has been a sharp decline in the share of 182-day T-bills, while the share of 364-day T-bills continues to rise due to flat yield curve.

Overall planned borrowing across tenors is lower in Q1FY25 vs. Q1FY24; however, actual borrowing is typically greater than planned, so some overshoot may be expected

FY24 saw gross SGS borrowings of Rs. 10.1 trn vs. Rs. 7.6 trn in FY23. Top 5 states contributed 72% of the incremental SGS issuance in FY24 vs. FY23. Top 5 states gross SGS issuance increased by 60% while others grew by a measured 15% in FY24 vs FY23. Going against the trend in Union borrowings, gross SGS issuances will likely increase to ~ 10.5trn in FY25 with major variation amongst States.
