    Vikas Jain, Senior Research Analyst at Reliance Securities

    NIFTY 50 Outlook

    NIFTY 50 formed a strong bullish candle on the weekly charts with positive momentum for six consecutive days, closing near its all-time high. It needs to hold above 19,750 for an upward move towards all-time high levels, with the round number of 20,000 acting as resistance. The key technical indicators remain bullish on the daily timeframe chart, and the revised trend reversal level is set at 19,500. The highest call open interest (OI) has shifted to the 20,000 strike, while on the downside, the highest put OI is at 19,600 for the weekly expiry.

    BANK NIFTY has closed at a one-month high, and we remain constructive on the sector with a potential target of 46,500 levels over the next few weeks. The RSI is inching upwards towards the higher band, and other key technical indicators remain in bullish momentum. The congestion breakout would act as strong support now at 45,800-46,000 levels over the next few days. The highest call OI is at the 46,500 strike, while on the downside, the highest put OI is at 45,000 for the weekly expiry.

    Evaluate decisions through the ‘investing’ lens: Waterfield Advisors

    Shantanu Bhargava, Managing Director, Head of Discretionary Investment Services, Waterfield Advisors: ‘In times like these, as an investor, one must take a step back and evaluate their intended decisions through the lens of “investing” versus “speculating”. Never speculate with core capital. Recognising speculation from investment can be crucial to investing success in these situations. Finally, all performance-chasing – selling a fund that has trailed over the last three years to pick up one that has outperformed – is speculating rather than investing. It’s time to be disciplined and stick to your plan.”

    Party has ended for oil marketers as high oil prices squeeze margins, say analysts

    Oil marketing companies find themselves in a spot as oil prices have trended higher over the past few weeks, with little prospect for raising retail prices in the medium term, at least until the general elections next year.

    Higher oil prices and higher cracks, which have led to under-recovery, point to a tough second half of FY24 for them.

    In the week to September 10, refining benchmarks have declined 15 per cent to $10.3 a barrel, accompanied by a modest increase in marketing margins; however, margins have decreased sharply in the current quarter to date, Nomura said in a note on the sector. Read more.

    Domestic steel prices are expected to more or less hold up this fiscal at Rs 59,000 per tonne (flat steel) and Rs 56,000 per tonne (long steel) despite a slowing global economy.

    Smoldering domestic demand, rising coking coal prices and production-related dynamics in China, the world’s largest steel maker, are likely to prevent the slide in prices.

    Domestic demand is poised to grow in double digit for the third consecutive year, buoyed by pre-election spending this fiscal. In the first five months, it had already risen 13 per cent. Front loading of central government capital expenditure could imply demand tapers in the second half. Still, over the entire fiscal, we expect demand to grow 10-12 per cent on-year. This would come on top of 11.4 per cent and 13.4 per cent growth, respectively, in fiscals 2022 and 2023, said CRISIL Market Intelligence and Analytics.

    Acreage under pulses down 8%

    Area under pulses coverage remained a concern with the sown acreage falling 8 per cent compared to last year. Despite the 10 per cent monsoon deficit, water-guzzling paddy acreage was higher at 403 lakh hectares till September 8.

    Agriculture ministry data shows pulse sowing is lagging, with coverage lower at 120 lakh hectares compared to 131 lakh hectares a year ago. Oilseed acreage also marginally declined from 193 lakh hectares last year to 191 lakh hectares.

  • September 12, 2023 11:27

    Kharif rice production is expected to remain stable, but there are likelihood of a decrease in the output of pulses and oilseeds due to reduced acreage.

    The government expressed confident in achieving the rice production goal of 111 million tonne (mt) during the current kharif season, thanks to increased sowing and favourable weather conditions in the primary cultivation regions. However, officials have indicated that there may be a decrease in pulses and oilseeds production. They also note that the surplus chana production during this year’s rabi season could help compensate for the shortfall in pulses, and there might be a slight rise in edible oil imports.

    A senior official from the Agriculture Ministry said, “Rice production has been a significant concern, but we remain optimistic about meeting the target. Even if we fall short, it should not drop below last season’s production of 110 mt.” Given that the sowing period for pulses and oilseeds has concluded, and due to insufficient rainfall in August, overall pulses and oilseeds production may decline, the official explained.

    Here’s what Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities, said on USD-INR

    The USD-INR 26 September futures contract traded in a tight range. As per the daily technical chart, the pair is trading above its moving average trend-line support level of 82.95 and RSI is fetching above 50 levels. Looking at the technical set-up, MACD is showing positive divergence and the pair is sustaining above 82.95 levels. The pair is having support at 82.95-82.70 while resistance is placed at 83.30-83.50. If the pair crosses its crucial resistance level of 82.80 and sustains above this level, it could witness further strength towards 83.30-83.50, with support being placed at 82.80-82.55.

    We suggest closely watching the level of 82.95-83.22 for taking fresh positions in the pair; either side breakout of the range could give further directions.

    “There is no meaningful change in the fundamentals of most companies; in fact, they have worsened in many cases. The primary driver of the rally appears to be irrational exuberance among investors, with high return expectations (and purchase decisions) being driven by the high returns of the past few months,” the report said.

    Here’s what Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities, said on crude oil

    Crude oil prices were largely unchanged on Monday and held on to 10-month highs in the international markets ahead of the US inflation and EIA weekly inventory data. Although Saudi Arabia and Russia last week announced supply cuts, the move was overshadowed by continuing concerns over the recovery in Chinese economic activity. On Monday the US Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said that China’s economic problems were more likely to have a local impact than affect the US. The dollar index also slipped from 6 month highs and supported crude oil prices. The US CPI inflation data and EU monetary policy outcomes could give further directions to global oil markets. We expect crude oil prices to remain volatile in today’s session. Crude oil has support at $86.40–85.80 and resistance is at $88.00–88.80 in today’s session. In rupee terms, crude oil has support at Rs 7,140-7,070, while resistance is at Rs7,340–7,420

    Here’s what Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities, said on bullion market

    Gold and silver prices were firmer on Monday, as a weaker US dollar index lifted the metals markets at the start of the trading week. Short covering in gold and silver futures markets were seen ahead of a key US inflation report on Wednesday.

    The possibility of a cooling off in the CPI inflation and profit taking in the dollar index supported gold and silver prices. While the dollar index slipped from 6-month highs, the US 10-year bond yields are fetching above 4.25% which limited the gains of gold and silver. We expect gold and silver to remain volatile this week ahead of the US inflation data and ECB monetary policy meetings. Gold has support at $1907-1896 while resistance is at $1930-1940. Silver has support at $22.72-22.58, while resistance is at $23.22-23.40 In INR terms gold has support at Rs58,780, 58,620. while resistance is at Rs 59,220-59,410.

    Market outlook| Here’s what Kotak Institutional Equities said on OMCs

    From over-recoveries on retail fuels until July 2023, the tide has turned for OMCs in a few weeks. With higher oil prices, higher cracks and frozen retail prices, OMCs are now incurring losses on retail diesel/petrol sales. With Saudi Arabia extending its 1 mb/d voluntary cut to end-2023, oil markets will remain tight. Oil prices can get firmer in the short term. With key elections not far away, retail price hikes are unlikely. Inventory gains should help in 2QFY24, but 2HFY24E would be tough if oil prices remain firm. However, we remain optimistic that pricing freedom will return after the 2024 general elections. We cut FY2024E earnings and FV for OMCs. Maintain REDUCE on all three OMCs (IOC, BPCL and HPCL).

    Increased oil prices ahead of elections make OMCs vulnerable

    Sustained efforts by the OPEC+ alliance, and particularly Saudi Arabia, to cut production are finally bearing fruit. After four quarters of declines, oil prices have moved up to about $90/bbl in recent weeks. With Saudi Arabia and Russia extending their additional voluntary cuts to end-2023, oil prices are likely to remain firm and could move up further. Fuel crack margins (particularly on diesel) have increased sharply. Ironically, in the current regime of frozen retail prices, higher cracks on diesel/petrol hurt OMCs. Compared with gains in refining, marketing losses are higher (due to higher volumes).

    Cut FY2024E earnings sharply; maintain REDUCE on OMCs

    We cut our FY2024E earnings by 16-17% for IOC/BPCL and by a higher 32% for HPCL (due to its higher leverage to marketing). Earnings changes are relatively low for FY2025E and FY2026. Our FV reduces to Rs90 for IOC (from Rs95), Rs375 for BPCL (from Rs390) and Rs260 for HPCL (from Rs280). Maintain REDUCE rating on OMCs. We continue to prefer upstream PSUs over OMCs.

    Gold prices were stable as the yield on the 10-year US Treasury note rose to the 4.3 per cent mark, approaching the 15-year high of 4.34 per cent touched in August as the US economy’s resilience to higher rates aligned with bets that the Federal Reserve will leave borrowing costs at a restrictive territory for an extended period.

    US Treasury Secretary Yellen stated that there is increasing confidence that the economy will be able to contain inflation without major blows to growth or the labour market, limiting the urgency for looser monetary policy.

    Domestic gold price shows new attempts to breach Rs 59100 per 10 grams which supports the continuation of a bullish overview for today.

    Stock Market Live Today: Indian markets likely to open higher, following positive US trend

    Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research, HDFC securities. — Indian markets could open higher, despite mixed Asian markets today and in line with slightly higher US markets on Sept 11

    U.S. stock indexes finished higher on Monday, boosted by producers of luxury items and services including Tesla, as investors await inflation and retail-sales data later this week that should help guide the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate policy. The Nasdaq closed sharply higher on Monday as Tesla surged on optimism around artificial intelligence.

    The August U.S. consumer-price index will be published Wednesday morning, while producer-prices and retail-sales reports for the same month are due on Thursday — all of which are likely to factor into the thinking of Federal Reserve policy makers as they consider whether to eventually adjust interest rates at their policy meeting next week.

    Stock Market Live Today: Technical Analysis: Nifty breaks 20K, potential targets and caution ahead

    Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Research (Retail), Kotak Securities Ltd

    India’s resilient growth compared to global macroeconomic headwinds has given investors the confidence to maintain bullish bets and propelled benchmark Nifty past the 20K mark. The 7th consecutive session of gains has come despite persisting selling by foreign institutional investors and other vagaries like inflation, rising dollar, spiking US treasury yields and interest rate hike concerns. While undertone appears bullish, the market seems to be in an overbought position and hence caution may prevail going ahead. Technically, for the short-term period benchmark Nifty is holding a strong formation. On daily charts, the index has formed a bullish candle and on intraday charts it is consistently forming a higher high and higher low series formation, which is largely positive. For the trend following traders, 19935 could act as a key support level, above which the index could move up till 20100-20175. On the flip side, below 19935, traders may prefer to exit from long positions and below the same, we could see a one quick intraday correction till 19850-19825.
