Sensex Today | Share Market Updates: Investors become edgy with central banks maintaining a hawkish tone

Share Market Updates: India's benchmark indices remained volatile throughout the session and ended in the negative with around a 2.5% drop during the week.

Meanwhile, Indian government bonds will be included in JPMorgan's widely tracked emerging market debt index from June 2024, the Wall Street bank said on Friday.

Asian shares were mixed on Friday after another slump on Wall Street driven by expectations that U.S. interest rates will stay high well into next year.

A report showed fewer U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week than expected. Such a solid labor market helps calm worries about a possible recession. But it may also give U.S. households fuel to keep spending and companies to try to raise prices further and keep upward pressure on inflation.

Investors continue to sell for 4th session in a row as Sensex drops by 200 pts and Nifty by 70 pts; Pharma, Metal, Finance lead the drag; PSU Bank jumps

A fall in pharma stocks dragged India's benchmark indices lower for 4th session on Friday with PSU Bank keeping a check on the drag. Indices had their worst week in seven months as investors feared the U.S. Fed's hawkish note might hold foreign investors back.

The Nifty 50 dropped 70 pts to close below 19,700, at 19,674 , while the S&P BSE Sensex fell 221 points to end the week at 66,009. Both indices closed 2.5% lower for the week to register their first weekly decline in four and their worst week since the week ending Feb 24.

PSU Bank zoomed more than 3% in an otherwise tough trading session for most other sectors. Pharma sector shed more than a per cent, while Metal, Finance and Consumer Durables also ended in the red.

Dr Reddy's and Wipro lost around 2.5% each. Heavyweight HDFC Bank was down 1.5% in today's trading. IndusInd Bank and Maruti gained more than 2% and topped the stock charts.

Asian shares were mixed after another slump on Wall Street driven by expectations that U.S. interest rates will stay high well into next year.

Japanese stocks trimmed early steep losses after the Bank of Japan kept stimulus unchanged and signalled it was in no rush to tighten policy. The Nikkei share average ended the day down 0.52%. The broader Topix pared losses as steep as 1.2% to finish the day down 0.3%.

China stocks had their best day in eight weeks bouncing off 10-month lows on hopes of improving growth, but seven consecutive weeks of foreign net selling underscored lingering economic and geopolitical concerns toward the country. Hong Kong stocks rebounded sharply amid buoyant Asian markets.

China's bluechip CSI300 Index ended the session up 1.8%, after earlier touching the lowest level since Nov. 4, 2022. The Shanghai Composite Index jumped 1.6%. Both indices had their best one-day performance since July 28. In Hong Kong, the benchmark Hang Seng Index climbed 2.3%, led by tech shares.

European stocks fell as risk sentiment took a hit on worries that interest rates will remain high for longer than previously expected.

UK stocks opened slightly lower on Friday, as investors fretted over indications of higher-for-longer interest rates from major central banks a day after the Bank of England (BoE) paused rate hikes.

Sensex Today Live | Share Market Updates: FinMin confident of 6.5 per cent growth in FY24 despite symmetric risks

The finance ministry on Friday exuded confidence that the country will achieve 6.5 per cent growth in FY24 on the back of improved corporate profitability, private capital formation and bank credit growth, notwithstanding the risks of rising crude oil prices and monsoon deficit.

The ministry's August edition of Monthly Economic Review said the 7.8 per cent growth recorded in the first quarter (April-June) was on account of strong domestic demand, consumption and investment. The growth was also witnessed in various high-frequency indicators.

Flagging certain risks like steadily climbing crude oil prices in the global market, impact of monsoon deficit in August on Kharif and Rabi crops, the review said, "that needs to be assessed."

Sensex Today: Govt aims to meet 70 pc of country's IT hardware need through local production in 3 yrs: MoS IT

The government aims to meet up to 70 per cent of the country's IT hardware requirement through local production in the next three years and reduce dependency on imports from non-trusted sources, Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said on Friday.

Speaking to reporters, Chandrasekhar said Ministry of Electronics and IT will share a draft of IT hardware import rules with industry players later in the day as it looks to curb dependence on supplies from non-trusted sources.

"At present, almost 80 per cent of our supplies to the digital ecosystem come from imports. We want to make sure whatever the sources are, they are trusted. As part of emphasising trust, it is obvious that the Indian component of that supply chain will have to grow. Today 8-10 per cent of our supply requirement comes from India, we want to make that 65-70 per cent in the next three years," the minister said. (PTI)

Sensex Today Live | Share Market Updates: Geojit Financial view on JP Morgan’s inclusion of India in the Emerging Market Index

Dr V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services: JP Morgan’s inclusion of India in the Emerging Market Index is a very positive move from the perspective of the Indian economy in general and the capital market in particular. The foreign demand for GoI bonds will push down their yields. This will happen much earlier than the date for inclusion, which is June 2024. Most of the corporate bonds yields are benchmarked to the yields on government bonds. Therefore, yields will decline pan India, across industries. The decline in the cost of capital will translate into higher profits for the corporate sector, which, in turn, will boost stock prices enabling the stock market to scale higher levels."

Sensex Today Live: India's Go First says airline's revival could be derailed by lessors' demands

Grounded Indian airline Go First's revival could be derailed if a court agrees to demands of aircraft lessors, who are seeking certain records after jet parts went missing or faced deterioration, according to legal filings from the carrier.

Foreign lessors have been locked in a legal tussle to repossess their aircraft after Go First was granted bankruptcy protection in May, which, as per Indian law, imposed a block on the recovery of 50-plus grounded Airbus planes.

Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) Capital and ACG Aircraft Leasing recently sought a Delhi court's intervention by complaining some parts had been allegedly "robbed" or the jets were corroding. (Reuters)

Sensex Today Live | Share Market Updates: UK Retail Sales Rebound With Shoppers Returning After Wet July

UK retail sales rebounded in August as the return of more settled weather brought consumers back into the shops.

The volume of goods sold in stores and online rose 0.4% in August, the Office for National Statistics said Friday. That partially recovered from a revised 1.1% drop in July, when cool and rainy conditions reduced activity. Economists had expected a gain of 0.5% in the latest month.

The figures come after a separate survey Friday showed consumer confidence rose to its highest level since January last year. Together, the data suggests households are holding up reasonably well in the face of an historic run of interest-rate increases. (Bloomberg)

Sensex Today Live: JM Financial views on India Ceramics Sector: Momentary weakness; revival in 2HFY24

Achal Lohade of JM Financial Institutional Securities comments on India Ceramics Sector: Momentary weakness; revival in 2HFY24

India | Building Materials India Ceramics | Momentary weakness; revival in 2HFY24Our channel checks suggest that a weak demand scenario for tiles could drive softer volume growth for leading tile companies in 2QFY24, though volume will increase 5-6% QoQ. We believe tile volume growth will pick up from 3QFY24 as leading construction-related categories (wires, plumbing pipes, etc.) indicate reasonable strength in construction activity, and tile demand comes with a lag of 1-2 quarters. Gas prices, on the other hand, remain steady ((Asia LNG spot/ Gujarat Gas up 8% QoQ/ -3% QoQ and -37% YoY/-73% YoY respectively in 2QFY24), leading to stable/marginal increase in gas cost QoQ for Kajaria/ Somany, though it will decline substantially YoY (-41% YoY/-38% YoY respectively). While the tile pricing scenario remains competitive given weak demand, we have not seen any major change in prices. Exports have picked up substantially in Apr-Aug’23 (INR 88bn, +37% YoY), especially in Aug (estimated to be at a record INR 21.2bn, +57% YoY) on the back of increasing cost competitiveness as European exporters face cost inflation and gas availability issues. While the near-term remains challenging, we are still optimistic on demand recovery in 2HFY24. We marginally tweak our estimates but maintain BUY on Kajaria (KJC) and Somany Ceramics (SOMC) and maintain HOLD on Cera Sanitaryware

3. Dealers feel, E2W festival demand has been weak and below expectation. We feel stronger players with cost rationlisation will be winners, as government policy dependent risk is exposed.

Sensex Today Live: Geojit Finance views on today's market: In the near term, FIIs may press further selling in response to rising US bond yields

Dr V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services: The Fed’s hawkish pause message has created a global risk-averse sentiment in global equity markets. The spike in the dollar index to 105.52 and the US 10-year bond yield shooting up to a 16-year high of 4.5 % are negative for equity markets, particularly emerging markets. The FIIs have reversed their ‘Buy India strategy’ which they have been following in the last 3 months with selling to the tune of 16934 crores in September through 21st.

Countering this negative trend is the hugely positive news of JP Morgan including India in the Emerging Market Bond Index with a weightage of 10% from June 2024 onwards. This will reduce bond yields and the consequent decline in the cost of borrowing will boost the bottom line of companies.

In the near term, FIIs may press further selling in response to rising US bond yields. If this happens, it will open up opportunities for investors to buy quality large-caps, particularly banking stocks which will benefit a lot from the bond inclusion.

Sensex Today: MMJC & Associates comments on SEBI approving relaxation in the framework for large corporates for meeting incremental finance needs through issuance of debt securities

Makarand M Joshi, Founder MMJC & Associates (A corporate compliance firm): SEBI is spearheading GOI drive of giving push for fund raise via listed debt. It is a subject of national priority.

Though details are yet not released, it seems SEBI has done its bit to listen to corporates and relax some requirements. Now it is a turn of Finmin to come out with more initiatives to incentivise debt securities listing for these large corporates.

One major concern of corporates was to incentives them for doing corporate debt listing as there is cost arbitrage between normal banking channel borrowing and debt listing. Real incentivisation can happen only through FINMIN and GOI

Sensex Today Live | Share Market Updates: US Stocks drop in an ugly day as allure grows to buy a Treasury bill and chill

Wall Street fell sharply Thursday in an ugly day for stocks worldwide on expectations that U.S. interest rates will stay high well into next year.

The S&P 500 lost 1.6% for its worst day since March. That followed a drop of 0.9% from Wednesday after the Federal Reserve indicated it may cut interest rates next year by just half of what it had earlier predicted. The Fed has already hiked its main interest rate to levels unseen since 2001, which helps slow inflation but at the cost of hurting investment prices.

High-growth stocks are typically among the hardest hit by high rates, and Big Tech stocks took the brunt of the pain for a second straight day. The Nasdaq composite dropped 1.8% as Amazon fell 4.4%, Nvidia dropped 2.9% and Telsa lost 2.6%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 370 points, or 1.1%.

Stock prices tend to fall when rates rise because stocks are riskier investments. Why stomach the chance of their big swings when Treasurys are paying more in interest than before? And they’re paying much more.

A 10-year Treasury is offering a yield of 4.48%, up from 4.40% late Wednesday and from only 0.50% three years ago. It’s near its highest level since 2007. (AP)
