Swastika Investment Ltd Managing Director Sunil Nyati said the market corrected due to selling in the broader market, weak global cues,
selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), upcoming US Federal Reserve meeting and rising crude oil prices. When there is widespread selling across various sectors and stocks, it can lead to overall market decline as investors' sentiment turns negative, Nyati said. "India is a major importer of crude oil, and higher oil prices can negatively affect the country's trade balance, inflation, and fiscal situation," Nyati added. Last month, the 30-share BSE Sensex climbed 1,151.05 points or 1.58 per cent.
As Israel and Iran’s geopolitical tensions continue to escalate Following Iran’s strike on Israel, the Indian stock market might continue to be volatile. A confrontation between Iran and Israel might drive up the price of oil to more than $100 per barrel and cause panic selling and volatility in the stock market. Potential for full-blown crude oil prices is almost at six-month highs as a result of the Israel-Iran confrontation. In order to preserve market stability, OPEC extended voluntary production curbs of 2.2 million barrels per day,” Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst at Swastika Investmart told the Mint.

Santosh Meena, Head of Research at Swastika Investmart sees support for the banking stock at Rs 180-160 levels.
"Bandhan Bank is currently experiencing a pronounced downtrend, with indications pointing towards a potential bottoming out near the Covid lows in the range of Rs 180-160 per share. However, the stock faces formidable resistance within the Rs 200-210 supply zone, presenting a significant challenge. Only a sustained breakthrough above the Rs 210-mark holds the potential for a short-term trend reversal, paving the way towards the Rs 250 level," said Meena. Read more:

Bharti Hexacom, the subsidiary of Bharti Airtel, defied pre-listing predictions of a modest debut and delivered a strong performance on the stock exchanges. The company is listed at ₹762 per share, translating to a significant 33% gain over its issue price of ₹570. This impressive listing surpasses pre-listing expectations, which were tempered by concerns about the company’s financial performance and valuation.
Bharti Hexacom leverages the established brand reputation of Bharti Airtel, fostering investor confidence. The company operates in high-growth markets, particularly fixed-line telephone and broadband services, which may have attracted investors seeking long-term value.
However, inconsistencies in financial performance, coupled with a recent decline in profits, warrant ongoing monitoring. Also, the telecom sector is intensely competitive, demanding strategic innovation to maintain market share.
While the listing exceeded expectations, the pre-identified risks remain relevant. Existing investors may consider holding their shares, while new investors should closely monitor the company’s performance and market conditions before making a fresh entry. Read more:

Domestic equity indices made record levels on Tuesday but ended the session slightly lower, thanks to profit-booking at higher levels. The BSE Sensex declined 58.80 points, or 0.08 per cent to settle at 74,683.70. NSE's Nifty50 index shed 23.55 points, or 0.10 per cent, to end the session at 22,642.75.All eyes are now set on Q4 earnings that will kick off later this week.
A few banking stocks namely Bandhan Bank Ltd, RBL Bank Ltd and IndusInd Bank Ltd are likely to remain under on traders’ radar today. Here is what Santosh Meena, Head of Research at Swastika Investmart has to say on these stocks ahead of Wednesday's trading session:
Bandhan Bank | Resistance: Rs210-250 | Support: Rs 180-160
Bandhan Bank is currently experiencing a pronounced downtrend, with indications pointing towards a potential bottoming out near the Covid lows in the range of Rs 180-160 per share. However, the stock faces formidable resistance within the Rs 200-210 supply zone, presenting a significant challenge. Only a sustained breakthrough above the Rs 210-mark holds the potential for a short-term trend reversal, paving the way towards the Rs 250 level.
RBL Bank | Resistance: Rs 275-290 | Support: Rs 252-242
RBL Bank has demonstrated a noteworthy rebound from its 200-day moving average (DMA) following a significant correction. Yet, it faces a formidable barrier at the downsloping trendline resistance situated around the Rs 264 mark. Surpassing this level of Rs 264 could signal a further upward momentum, potentially propelling the stock towards levels of Rs 275 or even Rs 290 level. Conversely, on the downside, the immediate support stands at Rs 252, with crucial support clusters at the 20- and 200-DMA, positioned at Rs 242, serving as pivotal levels to monitor for potential downside movements.
IndusInd Bank | Resistance: Rs 1,575-1,695 | Support: Rs 1,530-1,510
Indusind Bank has recently formed a triple bottom pattern around its 200-day moving average (DMA), with a notable neckline resistance at Rs 1,575. A breakout above this level could potentially trigger a bullish move towards the previous all-time high of Rs 1,695. Conversely, on the downside, strong support is observed in the range of Rs 1,530 to 1,510, bolstered by a cluster of multiple moving averages. Furthermore, the 200-DMA acts as a significant support level, positioned at Rs 1,480. Monitoring these levels could provide valuable insights into potential price movements and trend directions for Indusind Bank. Read more:
Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth at Swastika Investmart, expects Bharti Hexacom to see a moderate listing gain of around 15% over the issue price. "The company's financial performance has been inconsistent, with a recent decline in profits. Additionally, geographic concentration, reliance on third-party infrastructure, and intense competition within the industry pose challenges to future growth."
Further, Nyati said the IPO valuation of 51 times P/E (price-earnings) appears fully priced, leaving limited room for immediate gains after listing.
According to market observers, shares of Bharti Hexacom are commanding a premium of ₹92 in the unlisted market today (April 9). The premium in the grey market has been climbing since the closure of the bidding process.
Bharti Hexacom IPO details
Bharti Hexacom's IPO, which was open for bidding from April 3-5, was priced in the range of ₹542-570 per share.
The issue was entirely an offer-for-sale (OFS), without any fresh equity issue. Telecommunications Consultants India (TCIL), the sole public shareholder in the company, offloaded 7.5 crore equity shares or a 15% stake via the OFS.
Since the issue is an OFS, Bharti Hexacom will not receive any proceeds. All the proceeds will be allotted to the selling shareholder in the company.
The Sunil Mittal-driven telecom major Bharti Airtel holds a 70% stake or 35 crore shares, while the remaining 30% shareholding, equivalent to 15 crore equity shares, was held by non-promoter TCIL. Read more:

Global Cues
On the global front, the US market has shown some profit booking from higher levels due to heightened attention on the rising US bond yield, rising commodity prices (crude oil, gold, and silver), and also the geopolitical situation (the Iran-Israel proxy conflict and the Russia-Ukraine war). These factors will be closely monitored, as they have the potential to influence market sentiment, according to Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd.
Additionally, the US will announce its inflation rate on April 10, 2024. The US non-farm payrolls and unemployment rate for March that were disclosed on April 5, 2024, and will play a significant role in shaping the market mood in the near term. The European Central Bank (ECB) will also unveil its interest rate decision in the coming week. Read more:

As expected, the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy committee (MPC) on April 5 left the key repo rate unchanged at 6.5 percent for the seventh time in a row. The central bank is focused on bringing inflation down, said Governor Shaktikanta Das in his speech. In its first meeting of the new fiscal year (FY25), the rate-setting panel left the policy stance unchanged for the seventh consecutive time.
Das also announced that there will be no changes in the GDP growth forecast of 7 percent for FY25. On the inflation front, RBI MPC sees it moderating to 4.5 percent in FY25.
The market response to the policy was muted as investors shifted focus to global developments like the evolving likelihood of a US Federal Reserve rate cut in June and fluctuations in commodity prices.
"Despite this volatility, the Indian market appears to be holding its ground, possibly in anticipation of a pre-election rally," said Santosh Meena, Head of Research at Swastika Investmart. Read more:
The inflation data released last week further underscores the significance of the FOMC meeting. Consumer prices in the United States saw a 0.4 per cent increase in February, marking a 3.2 per cent rise from a year earlier, surpassing market expectations. This inflationary trend may influence the Fed's decision-making process, potentially prolonging its stance on maintaining current interest rates. Notably, the Fed has held interest rates steady since July 2023.
Stock markets would take cues from the biggest event of the week -- the US Fed interest rate decision, besides tracking the trends in global markets and trading activity of foreign investors, analysts said. Last week, a heavy decline in small cap, mid cap firms, foreign fund outflows and elevated crude oil prices in the international market dented investors' sentiments.
Experts said equity markets may remain volatile in the near-term amid a host of global central bank's monetary policy decisions lined up during the week. "This week will place a significant focus on monetary policy, as the Fed will begin its two-day policy meeting on March 19. The US Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision after its two-day policy meeting on March 20, 2024," said Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst, Swastika Investmart Ltd.
Shares of Popular Vehicles and Services Ltd (PVSL) made a muted debut at Dalal Street on Tuesday and the company failed to find buying interest from the investors on its maiden trading session. The stock was shunned by the investor after a soft listing at the bourses.
Shares of Popular Vehicles were listed at a discount of 1.97 percent at Rs 289.20 on NSE, against an issue price of Rs 295 apiece. The auto-dealership kicked-off its maiden trading session at Rs 292 on BSE, a discount of 1.02 percent over its issue price. However, the stock dropped another 10 per cent to Rs 262.90, extending the overall fall to 12 percent over the issue price.
Analysts tracking the issue are mostly positive on the issue in the longer run and suggest investors to hold it. However, the believe the investors should have a strict stop-loss in place.
Popular Vehicles & Services is a well-established automobile dealer with a presence across four states and longstanding relationships with leading OEMs, PV&S boasts a fully integrated business model and a proven track record of capitalizing on growth opportunities but listed at discount, said Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth at Swastika Investmart.
Providing a comprehensive range of service offerings across multiple sectors, Krystal Integrated Services is a leading integrated facilities management services company with a focus on healthcare, education, public administration airports, railways, metro infrastructure, and retail sectors.
Being a key solutions provider to the government sector, the company is among the select companies in India to qualify for and service large, multi-location government projects. The company is one of India’s leading integrated facilities management services companies, catering to various sectors.
Accounting for almost 88 per cent of the total market size, the public administration, industrial, commercial offices, healthcare, educational institutions, railways, and metro, and airport sectors are expected to drive demand for the market over the longer period.
Krystal's reliance on a limited number of clients, particularly government contracts secured through bidding processes, exposes it to concentration risk. The facility management industry is also highly competitive and operational risks are inherent to the business, said Swastika Investmart.

Rashi Peripherals IPO Review
Swastika Investmart Ltd
The brokerage claims that even though Rashi Peripherals is a well-known and rapidly expanding Indian reseller of international ICT brands. Some major concerns, nevertheless, need to be carefully considered.

SRM Contractors is a construction and development company primarily engaged in the construction of roads (including bridges), tunnels, slope stabilization works, and other construction activities in Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) and Ladakh. It operates as an EPC contractor and on a unit-price basis for infrastructure projects and subcontracts infrastructure construction projects.
The grey market premium of SRM Contractors has surged amid a strong response on day one. Last heard, the company was commanding a premium of Rs 78-82 in the unofficial market, suggesting a listing pop of about 38-40 per cent for the investors. However, the premium in the grey market stood around Rs 65-70 earlier, when the issue was announced.
Brokerage firms, tracking the issue, are mostly positive on it. They suggest subscribing to the issue on the back of strong hold in the area of operations, rising capital allocation in the region and sound financial track record. However, operational efficiency and dependence on select customers is seen as a challenge for the company.
SRM Contractors' focus on equipment ownership and an in-house integrated model position them for continued success. Its financial performance has been consistently strong, and they currently maintain a healthy order book, indicating promising future prospects. However, some key considerations require investor attention, said Swastika Investmart. Read more:

LIC share hits 1,000 level on improvement in business prospects
New segment entry can diversify revenue streams Pravesh Gour, senior technical analyst, Swastika Investmart, said
new market entries like health and micro insurance can diversify revenue streams and attract new customer segments. LIC's leading
position in life insurance, attractive valuation, and tailwinds like rising domestic savings and growing life insurance awareness
paint a positive outlook improving business pros pect, shift towards digitisation, ongoing bull-run in public sector undertaking (PSU) stocks and other favourable factors has pushed the shares of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) to over 1,000 mark for the first time on Monday.
The stock hit an all-time high of 1,027.95 during Monday's intraday session. The scrip close higher by 5.33% at Rs 995 on Monday.
This is a remarkable feat given LIC shares took a big beating since its listing in May 2022 and fell to a low of 530.20 on March 29, 2023. A rally of over 90% from this point has also made the insurance giant as the most valuable PSU company in India.
Pravesh Gour, senior technical analyst, Swastika Investmart, said new market entries like health and micro insurance can diversify revenue streams and attract new customer segments. LIC’s leading position in life insurance, attractive valuation, and tailwinds like rising domestic savings and growing life insurance awareness paint a positive outlook. As the largest domestic institutional investor in India, holding stakes in over 260 companies, LIC could further benefit from the recent rally in PSU stocks, added Gour. The further movement may depend on its Q3FY24 earnings, which will be announced on February 8, 2024. Read more:

Swastika Investmarts' Pravesh Gour agreed that Nifty 50 has recently reached a new all-time high, reaching 22,126. However, for sustained upward momentum, it's crucial for the index to maintain this level; otherwise, it might revert to a sideways trend.
‘’Above the 22,126 mark, the next targets will be 22,350 and 22,500. Conversely, on the downside, the range between 21,640 and 21,500 presents an immediate demand zone,'' added Gour. Read More:

ICRA said the removal of STT has been a long-sought demand by market participants and as the GST collection went up, this demand has again gained traction.
In the case of STT, ICRA said the removal of STT has been a long-sought demand by market participants and as the GST collection went up, this demand has again gained traction. The move, if it does, will attract more investors to invest in domestic equity markets, the ratings agency said.
Besides, ICRA noted that corporates pay tax on profit and at the same time the government levies tax on dividends at the hands of shareholders, resulting in double taxation on dividends. A relief from double taxation on dividends will be appreciated by markets, it said.

"Nova Agritech's consistent financial performance, impressive growth over the past three years, and ambitious expansion plans further bolstered investor sentiment.

वित्त वर्ष 2023-24 के केंद्रीय बजट में रेल मंत्रालय को 2,40,000 करोड़ रुपए आवंटित किए गए थे. यह रेलवे को ऐलोकेट किया गया अब तक का सबसे ज्यादा पैसा था. जिसका उद्देश्य देश के रेलवे बुनियादी ढांचे को आगे बढ़ाना था. फ्रेश कैपिटल इंफ्यूजन, डेडीकेटिड फ्रेट कोरिडोर, वंदे भारत ट्रेन, हाई-स्पीड प्रोजेक्ट्स की शुरूआत, नए ट्रैक बिछाने और स्टेशनों के पुनर्विकास के साथ इस सेक्टर पर सरकार के फोकस से आईआरएफसी, इरकॉन, टेक्समैको और टीटागढ़ वैगन्स जैसी कंपनियों को फायदा हुआ है और उनके शेयरों में उछाल आया.

BLS E Services is a digital service provider, and it could be a beneficiary of digital India initiatives by the government. The company operates on an asset-light business model, has a wide reach for customers, and has a business model with diverse sources of revenue. The company has also reported consistent growth in its financials, said Swastika Investmart.
"A few concerns are that the company has a limited operating history, making it difficult to evaluate its business and growth; secondly, it is dependent on a single customer for major revenue; and third, it has geographical concentration. Finally, it is valued at a P/E of 44 times, which seems fairly priced, so considering all the factors, we give a 'subscribe' rating to this," it said. Read more:
The brokerage believes that one will get a better sense of sustainability of the investment cycle in the next few days as companies in the capital goods sector report their earnings and give guidance on near-term order inflows, and the government presents its interim budget, which will give guidance on government capex for FY25.
According to analysts at Kotak, the market is either overestimating the market size and profitability in several sectors or underestimating ‘disruption’ risks in some sectors.
Foreign institutional investor activity remains a focal point, given their substantial net sales exceeding Rs 35,000 crore in the Indian equity market this month, said Santosh Meena, head of research at Swastika Investmart Ltd. Beyond domestic factors, the market will be influenced by the global landscape, including geopolitical developments and movements in US bond yields, the dollar index, and crude oil prices. Read more:
On market performance, Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd said, "The recent truncated trading week witnessed heightened market activity and volatility, culminating in a second consecutive week of losses, primarily driven by weakness in the banking sector. Profit booking affected several midcap and smallcap stocks, though certain sectors exhibited resilience." While giving an outlook this week, Meena said, "The upcoming week is poised to be pivotal, marked by a series of significant events, with the budget taking center stage. However, the finance minister's indication of a modest, vote-on-account budget suggests a lack of extravagant announcements." Also, Meena said, another critical event to watch is the outcome of the US Federal Reserve's policy meeting scheduled for January 31st, which could provide insights into the potential timing of interest rate cuts. Concurrently, ongoing Q3 earnings releases are contributing to substantial stock price movements, with numerous companies slated to announce their results in the upcoming week.
Further, the analyst said, foreign institutional investor activity remains a focal point, given their substantial net sales exceeding Rs. 35,000 crore in the Indian equity market this month. Beyond domestic factors, the market will be influenced by the global landscape, including geopolitical developments and movements in US bond yields, the dollar index, and crude oil prices. Last week, on January 25, Sensex closed at 70,700.67, down by 0.51%, while Nifty ended at 21,352.60, lower by 101.35 points or 0.47%. Read more at:
Stock Market News: After an extended weekend, this week will see a number of noteworthy events for the domestic equities market, with the budget taking centre stage. Experts note that the finance minister's hint of a low-key, vote-on-account budget, however, points to a lack of big decisions. The US Federal Reserve's policies, budget, and earnings will all keep investors and market participants on high alert.
According to Santosh Meena, Head of Research at Swastika Investmart Ltd, given their significant net sales in the Indian equities market this month over ₹35,000 crore, foreign institutional investor (FIIs) activity continues to be a focus point. Global variables, such as changes in US bond yields, the dollar index, and crude oil prices, as well as geopolitical happenings, will also have an impact on the market in addition to domestic ones.

While the upcoming Budget sparks excitement, I advise investors and traders to exercise caution on the actual day. Many stocks react in advance to expectations, often reversing or experiencing high volatility when the details are unveiled. Therefore, it's prudent to focus on a stock's long-term outlook rather than short-term budget buzz. The market is plummeting ahead of the budget, fueled by profit booking from foreign investors. The 21,000-20,800 zone is a crucial support level, while Nifty needs to break through the 21,800-21,850 resistance to regain its momentum.
The upcoming Budget is poised to spotlight capital goods and infrastructure, reflecting the government's commitment to robust spending in these areas. Green energy stocks are in focus due to the government's emphasis on renewable energy, while the promotion of domestic tourism makes related themes attractive. Investors are likely to keep a close eye on these sectors as key beneficiaries of the budgetary priorities. Read More:

Medi Assist Healthcare Services made a strong debut in the secondary market at Rs. 460, with a listing premium of around 11% over its issue price of Rs 418. This impressive performance followed an oversubscribed IPO by 16.25 times, further adding to the positive sentiment surrounding the health-tech firm’s prospects.
Medi Assist Healthcare Services Limited is a well-established health-tech and insurance-tech company, but the identified concerns regarding client concentration and dependence on subsidiaries still require ongoing monitoring.
This successful debut paints a brighter picture for Medi Assist, but cautious optimism is still advised. Thus, investors may book this listing gain and exit their holdings; however, those who want to hold positions are advised to keep a stop loss at issue price.
New Delhi [India], January 23 (ANI): The shares of MediAssist Healthcare Services listed on the exchanges on Tuesday, with an 11 per cent premium. It made its stock market debut at Rs 465 on the BSE against its initial public offering (IPO) issue price of about Rs 418.

Last week, the 30-share BSE benchmark fell by 1,144.8 points or 1.57 per cent. The NSE and BSE conducted normal trading sessions on January 20.
Anticipations surrounding the upcoming budget may drive stock and sector-specific movements. Globally, attention will be directed towards Japan's monetary policy and the US economic data, with a continued watch on geopolitical developments," Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd, said.
The past week witnessed continued volatility in the market, characterized by Nifty and Sensex ending with a substantial decline of over 1 per cent, exacerbated by Bank Nifty's notable underperformance, primarily attributed to a significant drop in HDFC Bank's shares post earnings, Meena said.
The aggressive selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) following HDFC Bank's results added further pressure to the overall market, he added. Read more:
Stocks in the hospitality and travel and tourism sectors, along with public-sector undertaking (PSU) stocks will remain in focus this week in the wake of the much-awaited 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony for Shri Ram Lalla which is set to take place on Monday at Ayodhya's Ram Mandir in Uttar Pradesh.
Market experts say that Ayodhya will become a major spiritual tourism destination. The potential for tourism-related business is enormous and has attracted investors into hotel, travel and other tourism-related stocks. While appreciating the long-term potential of investment, investors should not go overboard chasing these stocks that have elevated prices, according to analysts.
From a technical standpoint, Nifty 50 experienced a sharp correction from the 22,124 level, subsequently rebounding from the 21,300 level. ‘’Sustaining above the 20-day moving average (20-DMA) at 21,700 is imperative for any meaningful recovery. Failure to do so may leave Nifty susceptible to further selling pressure within the 21,000–20,800 range,'' said Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd. Read more:
After months of buying, foreign portfolio investors are turning a blind eye to Indian equities in the month of January amid concerns over high valuations and uncertainty around global interest rates trajectory.
The steep selloff by foreign investors ensured that benchmark indices recorded their worst week in over two months. Nifty bank too has seen its biggest weekly fall in a year.
Despite these challenges, the midcap and smallcap segments demonstrated resilience, outperforming largely due to robust domestic liquidity. Notably, PSU stocks, especially in the railway sector, sustained a bullish trend.
Going forward, the market will react to quarterly earnings as a substantial number of heavyweights are related to release their third-quarter numbers.
