Crude oil falls after industry data points to jump in US crude stocks

Oil prices slipped in early Asian trade on Wednesday after falling by more than $1 a barrel in the previous session as industry data pointed to a much bigger-than-expected surge in U.S. crude inventories. Brent crude futures lost 20 cents to $85.38 per barrel by 0111 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures shed 19 cents to $78.87.

U.S. crude inventories rose by about 10.5 million barrels in the week ended Feb. 10, according to market sources citing American Petroleum Institute figures on Tuesday. The build was much larger than the 1.2 million-barrel rise that nine analysts polled by Reuters had expected, potentially pointing to a drop in fuel demand.

Helping to support prices, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) raised its 2023 global oil demand growth forecast in its first upward revision for months, on China’s reopening, and trimmed supply forecasts for major non-OPEC producers, indicating a tighter market. Global oil demand will rise this year by 2.32 million barrels per day (bpd), or 2.3%, OPEC said, raising the forecast from February by 100,000 bp

Rupee opens higher, may appreciate to 81.30; volatility likely ahead of RBI MPC meeting

Rupee opened nearly 60 paise lower at 82.41 per dollar on Monday amid rise in the value of greenback against a basket of six peers and global crude oil benchmarks. At the interbank foreign exchange, the domestic unit opened weak at 82.35 against the dollar, then fell to 82.50, registering a decline of 42 paise over its last close. In the previous session, rupee settled at 82.08 against the US dollar. The dollar index was trading 0.2% higher at 102.9. Rupee is expected to appreciate amid rise in risk appetite in equity markets. Meanwhile, sharp upside may be prevented on strong dollar and persistent FII outflows. Additionally, investors will now closely watch RBI’s monetary policy scheduled on February 8, where the central bank may hike rates by 25 bps.

“The US$INR is likely to break the key support level of 81.85 to continue trading towards the level of 81.75,” said ICICIdirect. FDI inflows and RBI stance could be the supportive point for Rupee. Whereas, FPIs and stronger USD could pressurize the same. The RBI policy could turn out to be a tiebreaker. Overall, we are expecting that the pair should face a strong resistance near 82.40-50 levels, and further RBI could also intervene around those levels; which could make a reversal towards 81.50-81.30 levels again, said Amit Pabari, MD, CR Forex Advisors.

The rupee started this Monday on a weaker note against the dollar after a better-than-expected US jobs report prompted investors to bet on more Federal Reserve rate increases, said Sriram Iyer, Senior Research Analyst at Reliance Securities. Supports for the USD/INR spot pair are at 81.9100 and 81.6000, and resistances are at 82.5000 and 82.7500 and the pair could remain within the levels this Monday, Iyer added. In the domestic equity market, the 30-share BSE Sensex was trading 242.95 points or 0.40% lower at 60,598.93. The broader NSE Nifty 50 declined 100.20 points or 0.56% to 17,753.85.

Adani group stock rout unstoppable; 6 scrips at lower circuit, Adani Enterprises falls 2% ahead of Q3 results

Adani group stocks continued to bleed on Tuesday with six scrips hitting the lower circuit. The rout continues even after the Gautam Adani-led conglomerate appointed accountancy firm Grant Thornton for independent audits of some of its companies in a bid to discredit claims by short-seller Hindenburg Research that have battered its stocks and bonds. Adani Enterprises shares fell nearly 3% to Rs 1,667 on NSE ahead of Q3 earnings report. Note that valuation guru Aswath Damodaran found the stock to be worth Rs 945 apiece.

Adani Power, Adani Green Energy, Adani Wilmar, Adani Total Gas and Adani Transmission stocks tumbled to hit 5% lower circuit in early trade on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Adani Ports was trading marginally higher at Rs 555.80, up 0.38% on NSE. Adani group-owned Ambuja Cements shares were down 1.56% at Rs 337, while ACC fell 1.82% to Rs 1,789. Shares of NDTV also hit the lower circuit, and were trading at Rs 188 on the National Stock Exchange.

Adani Group has strongly denied the allegations but investors remain concerned. Shares in the group’s seven listed subsidiaries have cumulatively lost about $120 billion in market value in the last three weeks. The conglomerate said last week it was considering an independent evaluation of issues relating to legal compliance, related party transactions and internal controls following the Hindenburg report.

Moody’s downgrades ratings outlooks of 4 Adani group companies

As Adani group stocks continued to hit new lows everyday, Moody’s Investor Service has downgraded the ratings outlooks of four Adani group companies including Adani Green Energy Ltd to ‘negative’ from ‘stable’. “These rating actions follow the significant and rapid decline in the market equity values of the Adani Group companies following the recent release of a report from a short-seller highlighting governance concerns in the Group,” Moody’s said in a statement. Further, Moody’s kept outlook and ratings stable on four other Adani group companies, including Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd.

Markets Ahead: Sensex, Nifty end mixed for second session; valuation drags, indices may trade flat in near term

The benchmark domestic indices NSE Nifty and BSE Sensex concluded the day’s session mixed, as the Adani stock rout continued to drag Nifty 50. Sensex gained 224 or 0.38% to settle at 59,932, while Nifty closed flat, lower by 5 points after a volatile trading session. In the broader markets, small-caps continued to shine, gaining 0.59%. Sectorally, Nifty FMCG gained 2.28%, while Nifty Oil & Gas shed 1.97%.

Markets Decoded: Adani stocks continue to impact markets

“Despite a growth oriented budget, drop in crude prices and upside in the global market, the domestic market is not able to gain because of the Adani saga having a ripple impact on the investors. In addition, the premium valuation of India continues to weigh down the performance compared to other emerging markets which are expecting upside in the economy. The global markets are positive in assumption of being in the last phase of the rate hikes.” – Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services

Nifty Technical View: Resistance seen between 17,700-17,800

“The benchmark Nifty has been hovering within a falling channel, where it has found support at the lower band of the said channel. The trend looks negative, with the RSI trending upside down. A resistance level on the higher end is visible at 17,750, above which the Nifty may move up towards 17,950. On the lower end, support is pegged at 17,450, below which the correction may resume.” – Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst, LKP Securities

“On the technical front, no sign of respite was seen in the index as it struggled in a tight range. The 200-day SMA is much in the vicinity now and with the ongoing lackluster participation of the bulls, there could be a higher probability of it being tested. As far as levels are concerned, the pivotal support of 17,500 remains the key support and any breakthrough could open room for the 200 SMA, which is placed around the 17,290-odd level. While on the higher end, until we decisively surpass the 17,700-17,800 zone, such timidity is likely to continue.” – Osho Krishan, Sr. Analyst – Technical & Derivative Research, Angel One

Rupee depreciates on strong dollar, rising crude prices; watch this range to take positions in USDINR pair

The Indian rupee opened 10 paise lower at 82.59 per dollar on Thursday against the previous close of 82.49. The local unit is expected to depreciate today amid rising crude oil prices and strong dollar. Further, persistent FII outflow from domestic equity markets may pressurise the rupee. Meanwhile, investors will closely watch initial jobless claims data from the US, which is expected to rise from 183,000 to 190,000. The US$INR is likely to trade towards 82.80 levels, according to ICICIdirect. In the previous session, rupee volatility remained low even after the RBI raised rates by 25 bps and kept its policy focused on withdrawal of accomodative stance.

USDINR(Spot) to trade sideways

RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das on Wednesday noted that core inflation could remain sticky. Retail inflation is projected to be at 6.5% for FY23 from the previous estimate of 6.7%. GDP is projected to be at 7% for FY23 from the previous estimate of 6.8%. No major reaction was seen on Rupee and it traded in a narrow range. “Today, volatility could remain low as no major economic data is expected to be released from the US. We expect the and quote in the range of 82.40 and 82.90,” said Gaurang Somaiya, Forex & Bullion Analyst, Motilal Oswal Financial Services.

Surge in crude oil prices, sustained FII outflows to cap upside in Rupee

“We expect Rupee to trade with a slight positive bias amid risk-on sentiments in global markets and softening of greenback. However, surge in crude oil prices and sustained FII outflows may cap sharp upside. Markets participants may remain cautious ahead of statements coming in from various Fed officials for any cues on stance of the US central bank. USDINR spot price is expected to trade in a range of Rs 81.80 to Rs 83.30,” said Anuj Choudhary – Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.

Watch this range for taking fresh positions in USDINR pair

“The USDINR 24 February futures contract showed profit-taking at higher levels. As per the daily technical chart, we observed that the pair is trading above its trend-line support level of 82.15 and RSI is fetching above 60 levels. Looking at the technical set-up, MACD is showing positive divergence but the pair is facing steep resistance around 82.85 levels. If the pair sustains above 82.85 levels it could witness further strength towards 83.05-83.30, else it could test its support level of 82.55-82.30 again. We suggest closely watching the levels of 82.55-82.85 for taking fresh positions in the pair in today’s session, either side breakout of the range could give further directions,” said Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities.

By Shrikant Chouhan

The benchmark indices corrected sharply, the Nifty 50 ended 215 points lower while the BSE Sensex was down by 703 points.

Among sectors, IT, FMCG, Reality lost the most, shed over 3 percent. Technically, on daily charts the index has formed a long bearish candle and after a long time it succeeded to close below the 200 day SMA which indicates further weakness from the current levels.

The counter is trading in a rising channel constantly. The higher high and higher low chart formations are apparent in the counter. Additionally, trend indicators such as MACD and ADX are showing bullish strength. Therefore, upward movement from the current level is very likely to remain in the near term.

Lupin BUY, CMP: Rs 769.5, TARGET: Rs 810, SL: Rs 750

The stock is into a gradual up move with a higher low series on the daily scale. Additionally, it is trading in a rectangle formation near its short term moving averages. Hence, a strong base has been shaped for the new leg of an uptrend from current levels.

State Bank of India (SBI) BUY, CMP 511.8, TARGET 540, SL 500

The stock has shown a remarkable rally in the last few weeks and the trend of the stock is still in the rising direction. The higher high and higher low chart formation is evident in the counter.

Why Sensex, Nifty, Bank Nifty surged today; Adani Group stocks end in green, Adani Enterprises recover sharply

Indian equity indices rallied over 1.5% on Friday with Sensex closing above 60,800 and Nifty 50 settling above 17,850 led by heavy buying in banking shares and recovery in Adani Group stocks. During the day indices remained volatile, but towards the end of the session, they surged, ending broadly in green. The NSE Nifty 50 surged 243 points or 1.38% to close at 17,854.05 and BSE Sensex skyrocketed 909 pts or 1.52% settling at 60,841.88.

Why Sensex, Nifty, Bank Nifty surged today

Adani Group stocks pull Nifty 50 out of the red zone

Adani Group stocks recovered today with Adani Ports being the top performer of the Nifty 50 index after Fitch ratings said that it saw no immediate impact on its ratings of Adani Group entities and their securities, following US short-seller Hindenburg Research’s report last week. Adani Enterprises crashed 35% in the intraday today but recovered all its losses and ended the session in green after falling for almost a week. “Markets are rising, assuming that we are in the last phase of the rate hike cycle as indicated by the Fed statement. Adani Group stocks revived post the confident statement by Total Energies, a large French energy company, raising the sentiment of the market. Pharma stocks have taken a beating as a result of weak third-quarter results,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

“Nifty opened positive but traded flat in the initial hours. It however made a comeback in the later part of the session to close with gains. Buying continued in consumer and IT sector stocks. Beaten-down banking sector, especially PSU Banks, saw a fresh buying after BOB reported healthy Q3FY23 numbers and the expectation of SBI to announce a good result. Banking stocks will react on Monday to SBI results. Investors await key monthly US jobs data,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Retail Research, at Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.

Global bank’s dovish comments hint at easing inflation; RBI MPC meet eyed

Sensex, Nifty rose as a result of dovish comments from global central banks. “On Friday, Indian shares opened higher aided by a rise in optimism that the rate hike cycle may be nearing its end after global central banks hinted at inflation easing. Domestic equities are also rising as a result of dovish comments from global central banks. The European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England (BoE) followed suit a day later after the United States Federal Reserve acknowledged in its monetary policy meeting on Wednesday that the disinflationary process may have begun. At its policy meeting on February 8, the Reserve Bank of India is expected to raise the key policy repo rate by 25 basis points, signalling the end of a nearly year-long tightening cycle,” said Ameya Ranadive, Equity Research Analyst at Choice Broking.

Nifty to show strength above 16500, avoid aggressive bets in Bank Nifty; add blue chips in staggered manner

By Sameet Chavan

The Indian equity market tumbled on weekly F&O expiry day, tracking the global bourses, wherein the benchmark index NSE Nifty 50 plunged below the psychological mark of 16000 from the start of the session. The weakened macro factors have dampened the overall sentiments as we witness the relentless selling pressure in the equities. The index concluded Thursday’s session in red with another cut of over 2.22 per cent to settle at the 15808 level on the weekly expiry.

In the F&O space, we saw the addition of a few shorts in Nifty and long unwinding in the banking index. Stronger hands continue to curb liquidity in the Indian equity market and added bearish bets in index and stock futures segment. In the index options front, we saw build-up in 15800-16000 put strikes. On the other hand, 15800-16200 call strikes added fresh build-up in the coming weekly series.

Overall global weakness has poured in complete water on yesterday’s promise the banking stocks had left us with. But not to surprise, this is the perfect characteristic of a downtrend. Both Nifty and Nifty Bank have now approached their critical levels, so it would be interesting to see whether the oversold market decides to rebound first or continue to be with the recent trend. As far as levels are concerned, 34000 – 34500 has now become a sturdy wall; whereas a sustainable move below 33200 – 33000 would lead to some panic kind of situation in this space. One should avoid trading aggressively on both sides; because we tend to see a lot of whipsaws in such situations.

The ongoing rampage is due to the global macro factors, hence any improvement from the overseas market should act as a catalyst for the bulls. Technically, the bearish formation would only get discarded above the mentioned resistance zone. Until that time, one should remain cautious and keep close track of global and domestic developments. Also, traders are advised to avoid aggressive bets and look for stock-specific action, while investors could now seize this opportunity by initiating accumulation in good blue-chip companies but in a staggered manner.

“The wholesale inflation has softened to 4.73%, a 24-month low. After multiple months of double-digit and elevated inflation, the WPI eased to relief.

08:34 (IST) 14 Feb 2023 RBI unlikely to change stance in April policy; 25 bps hike a distinct possibility now

“The January CPI inflation print at 6.5% is much ahead of our estimate of 6.1%. Much of this sharp increase in inflation is due to high cereal price inflation and partly due to an unfavourable base. However, with cereal prices staying on the upside, inflation could remain around the 5.5-6% mark in the near term. The hawkish tone of the RBI in the February policy seems justified with both headline and core inflation (at 6.4% in January) remaining sticky and elevated. The RBI is unlikely to change its stance in the April policy while a 25 bps hike is a distinct possibility now (compared to a larger probability of pause earlier).” – Suvodeep Rakshit, Senior economist at Kotak Institutional Equities.

The index remains in a sell-on-rise mode as long it stays below the level of 42000.” – Kunal Shah, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
