*ABM Morning Update*
*NIFTY HOVERS NEAR RECORD AS MOST IT STOCKS TRADE @ HISTORICAL HIGHS*
*Global markets :*
US Stocks fell on Tuesday, as concerns about the Covid-19 Delta variant continue to rise. A disappointing U.S. retail sales report (-1.1% vs -0.3% exp.) didn’t help the markets either. The DJIA dropped 0.8%, while the S&P 500 fell 0.7% and the Nasdaq Composite declined 0.9%.
Markets seemed concerned about the Delta strain, which is disrupting both global demand and supply chains as evidenced by freash lockdowns In New Zealand and shipping continuing to get backed up after a Covid case was reported at one of the ports in China. In the U.S. too, it’s become accepted that booster shots will be needed as Florida, Louisiana, Hawaii, Oregon, and Mississippi set Covid case records. Reflecting such fears, commodities too slid sharply will industrial metals like copper, aluminum and zinc falling between 1%-3%. Europe, however remained steady in trade as it continues to be the most vaccinated region in the world and one where the Delta variant drives surges seemed to have abated.
*Domestic markets :*
Indices surged to another fresh record, boosted by gains in IT & consumption stocks. Nifty ended higher by 34 points with Nifty IT index surging by 2.6% & Nifty FMCG by 1.4%. IT stocks have been in strong uptrend post covid pushing digitization on fast forward mode. TCS, Tata Elxsi majority of all stocks across large cap & midcap category trade around new highs. Metal index corrected by 2.3% mainly owing to sharp 10% correction in Vedanta. Madras HC issued notice to company on Remediation of contaminated sites within its copper smelter in Tuticorin after Tuticorin-based social activist Fathima Babu filed a PIL. Company is given ~5 weeks to respond to notice. On the other hand, Tata Steel stood strong after CEO in an interview stated that company may possibly cut debt by $2-3 bn in FY22, higher than initial plan to trim borrowings by $ 1bn, as cash flows are improving significantly.
Broader market continues to be under pressure. Smallcap index lost 0.6% and Midcap index shed 0.2%. Sugar stocks might remain in focus after Ministry of Consumer Affairs indicated India is expected to withdraw sugar export subsidies from the new season beginning October, as a sharp rise in global prices makes it easier for Indian mills to sell the sweetener on the world market.
Government announced the much-awaited guidelines and tax refund rates for the export boosting scheme Remission of Duties and Taxes on Export Products (RoDTEP) for 8,555 export items across different sectors. The outlay for the scheme is Rs 12,454 cr in the FY22, with the refund rates ranging from 0.5%-4.3%.
In its August Bulletin, RBI stated that Inflation is likely to remain within its projected levels for the rest of the year, as it believes that inflation containment comes at the cost of economic growth. Earlier this month the RBI raised its 2021/22 inflation forecast to 5.7% from 5.1% and reiterated that it will continue to keep monetary policy accommodative as long as necessary to revive and sustain growth on a durable basis.
For today, SGX Nifty indicates 22 points gap up opening for Nifty in sync with majority of Asian indices.
*Quote for the day: “…growth impulse is igniting financial markets. 2021 could well turn out to be India’s year of the IPO. Debut offerings by Indian unicorns unlisted start-ups kicked off by a food delivery app’s stellar IPO that was subscribed 38 times, have set domestic stock markets on fire and global investors in a frenzy” - RBI in an article on the ‘State of Economy’*
