Market Highlights: Sensex gains 330 pts, Nifty ends 100 pts higher; Ultratech, RIL shine; TaMo, Maruti drag

Sensex Today | Share Market Updates: Indian markets to remain under caution amidst negative global cues

Share Market Updates: RIL, Cipla and Ultratech Cement lift indices into the green on Monday as Sensex and Nifty gain around 0.6% with Energy and Realty leading the rally, while Auto remains subdued.

Caution over the Middle East conflict prevails after Israel said it hit over 450 Hamas targets on Sunday and self-declared "second phase" of the attack on the Hamas militants.

Asian shares were mostly lower on Monday ahead of a Federal Reserve decision this week on interest rates.

Oil prices fell Monday as traders hoped a region-wide conflict could still be avoided as Israel said its forces killed dozens of Hamas militants in clashes in Gaza.

Indices shurgged off initial jitters to end in green as Sensex jumped 300 pts and Nifty 100 pts; RIL, BPCL and Ultratech shine

India's blue-chip indexes fell in early trading on Monday but bounched back to end with gains of around 0.6%, thanks to a few heavyweights like Reliance Industries jumping. Investors still remained cautious as Middle East conflict and elevated U.S. Treasury yields weighed on sentiment.

The NSE Nifty 50 index ended 100 pts higher at 19,148, while the S&P BSE Sensex jumped 330 pts to end at 64,112. Four of the 15 broad-based sectoral indices ended with losses in today's session.

BPCL jumped more than 3%, while Reliance Industries, Ultratech and ONGC gained more than 2% each. Tata Motors, Maruti and Eicher Motors led the drag in the Auto index. UPL shed almost 5% after delivering a loss this quarter.

Auto, FMCG and Consuemr Durable indices ended in the red. Bank and Finance gained marginally. Energy and Realty sectors gained more than a per cent each.

Asian share markets were mixed on Monday as Israel's push into Gaza stirred fears of a wider conflict ahead of central bank meetings in the United States, Britain and Japan, the latter of which might see a policy tightening.

Japan's Nikkei share average fell tracking Wall Street's declines in the previous session and as caution ahead of central bank meetings domestically and in the United States hurt risk appetite. The Nikkei closed 0.95% lower, while the broader Topix slipped 1.04%.

Chinese stocks rose, helped by fresh signs of government-orchestrated support measures, while Hong Kong shares were muted amid persistent fears of an escalation in the Middle East war.

China's blue-chip CSI 300 Index closed 0.6% higher. The Shanghai Composite Index edged up 0.1%, standing above the psychologically key 3,000-point mark. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index ended flat, tracking broadly mixed Asian markets.

European shares recovered in early trading boosted by healthcare stocks, as bond yields declined with investors assessing key inflation data.

The UK's FTSE 100 inched higher supported by gains in mining stocks, while information and analytics firm Ascential led midcap stocks higher after announcing a $1.70 billion deal for selling its units.

Sensex Today Live: Crude slips as worries of region-wide Middle East war ease

Oil prices fell Monday as Israel stepped up ground attacks on Hamas targets in Gaza but held back from a full-on incursion, fanning hopes a wider conflict can be avoided.

Equities were mixed ahead of a Federal Reserve policy meeting this week, with traders fearing it will likely keep interest rates elevated for an extended period as inflation remains stubbornly high.

Crude pared Friday's almost three percent gains as Israel's military continued air and ground operations in Gaza, though it took a more cautious approach than feared.

Instead of a broad offensive, officials have opted for targeted attacks on a day-to-day basis, tempering worries of an all-out war that could drag in Iran and even the United States. (AFP)

Sensex Today Live: Kama Jewelry on Outlook on gold demand for the festive season

Colin Shah, MD, Kama Jewelry on Outlook on gold demand for the festive season: Globally, gold prices are on the rise due to the uncertainty in the international market created by the Israel-Hamas conflict and its impact on global economic conditions, followed by the strengthening of the US Dollar. This price rise will further drive investors towards gold, owing to its credibility as one of the safest asset classes. With the Fed likely to maintain its stance in the upcoming meeting with the scope for one rate hike during the year, it is expected to keep the gold price within the range of USD 2000.

On the domestic front, gold rates are gradually but steadily on an upward trajectory. With the festive season and wedding season, we see the price dynamics to be of little to no hindrance for the Indian gold buyers owing to the rise in per-capita income and the sentimental value attached towards buying gold during the festive season and weddings, a tradition well-kept in the Indian culture.."

Sensex Today Live | Share Market Updates: JM Financial views on NTPC | Strong growth momentum continues; maintain BUY

Sudhanshu Bansal of JM Financial views on NTPC: Strong growth momentum continues; maintain BUY INR 270 

NTPC Ltd (NTPC) reported net sales of INR 450bn (+2% YoY, +4% QoQ), in-line with JMFe led by 6% higher generation YoY to 90BU. EBITDA for the quarter improved to INR 126.8bn (+16% YoY,-1% QoQ), +9% JMFe primarily driven by a lower share of imported coal (2%/10% in 2QFY24/ 2QFY23) in the fuel mix. Adj. PAT came in at INR 47bn (+37% YoY, +11% above JMFe). With visibility of 20GW RE generation capacity by FY26 and entry into pumped hydro storage with 14GW of the portfolio, the journey of NTPC continues with the transition to a balanced portfolio (45% renewables, 47% Thermal, 8% others) by FY32. Given the continued growth momentum, we revise our estimates upwards for FY25 and roll forward to FY26. We value the company’s thermal business at 1.8x Sep’25E Regulated Equity and assign 10x multiple to Sep’25E EBITDA of its RE business. We maintain our BUY rating with a revised TP of INR 270 (INR 240 earlier).

PL Stock Report: Dr. Reddy's Laboratories (DRRD IN) - Q2FY24 Result Update – In line EBITDA aided by gRevlimid and PLI incentives - REDUCE

Sensex Today: Param Desai - Research Analyst, Prabhudas Lilladher Pvt Ltd. views on Dr. Reddy's Laboratories (DRRD IN): Rating: REDUCE | CMP: Rs5,397 | TP: Rs5,300

Q2FY24 Result Update – In line EBITDA aided by gRevlimid and PLI incentives

Quick Pointers:

§ Margins came in at 26.6%; down 270 bps QoQ adjusted for PLI incentives.

§ India formulation grew in high single digit, adj for divestment and NLEM.

We increase our FY24/25E EPS estimates by 13.5%/7.6% aided by higher gRevlimid sales, however base business profitability continues to remain moderate. Dr. Reddy’s (DRRD) Q2FY24 EBITDA was largely in-line with our estimate, while base business margins ex of Revlimid and PLI incentives continued to remain muted below ~19-20%. Further thin US pipeline in near term remains a key risk. At CMP, DRRD is trading at expensive valuations of 24x P/E on FY25E adjusted for gRevlimid. We maintain our ‘Reduce’ rating with revised TP of Rs5,300/share (Rs5,150 earlier) as we roll forward; valuing at 23x Sept 2025E EPS for base business. Any big ticket ANDA approvals and sharp recovery in base business margins are key risks to our call.

Sensex Today: Geojit Financial Services views on today's market: Watch out for the Fed’s message on November 1st even while it holds the rate as the market expects

Dr V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services: The oversold position in the market facilitated the 190-point bounce back in the Nifty on Friday. But the conditions are not favourable for the continuation of this uptrend since the risk-off mood persists in the market. The risk of the Middle East geopolitical crisis spreading is high and since the ground war has begun in Gaza there can be lots of uncertainty and unexpected developments. The other major factor impacting the markets -the elevated US bond yields- also will remain a short-term concern since the Fed is likely to continue its hawkish stance in the light of the resilience of the US economy and inflation (3.7%) remaining above the Fed’s target. So watch out for the Fed’s message on November 1st even while it holds the rate as the market expects. Investors may remain cautious in this time of high uncertainty and risk. Nibbling at high-quality large caps will be a smart move.

Sensex Today: Govt wants India's telecom service to remain most affordable in entire world: Telecom Minister

The government wants India's telecom service to remain the most affordable in the entire world, union telecom minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said.

According to the telecom sector industry body Cellular Operators Association of India, telecom operators have not been able to monetise 5G service since its launch last year.

"From the government side we are very clear. We would like telecom service to continue to remain the most affordable in the entire world and today among all large economies India's telecom sector is the most affordable telecom sector," Vaishnaw told PTI in an interview at India Mobile Congress 2023.

According to analysts, telecom operators need an average revenue per user (ARPU) in the range of 270-300 over next three years to realise the investments they are making in building 5G networks. (PTI)
