Updated – July 22, 2024 at 09:29 AM.

Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices LIVE: Indian equity benchmarks, Sensex and Nifty, opened lower on Monday with the Sensex falling 343.32 points to 80,261.33 and the Nifty dropping 130.60 points to 24,400.30. The weak start is attributed to disappointing earnings reports from Reliance Industries and Wipro, though Kotak Mahindra Bank, HDFC Bank, and Yes Bank reported strong results. Analysts anticipate volatility this week, with the focus shifting to the upcoming Union Budget on July 23 and the settlement of monthly F&O contracts on Thursday. Emkay Global Financial Services forecasts a 5-10% correction in headline indices, noting stretched Nifty valuations and lack of positive catalysts. The recent post-election rally has led to frothy valuations, with the Nifty trading 10% above its 5-year average. Last week, benchmark indices closed slightly up despite profit booking and weaker global cues. The India VIX rose, indicating increased market uncertainty.

    Commodities market updates: Gold bounces back

    Gold surged to $2,410 per ounce on Monday, aided by a technical bounce following a roughly 2% dip the previous session and a weaker dollar. Last week, the precious metal fell as the dollar surged due to stronger-than-expected manufacturing growth in the US Mid-Atlantic area in July, while the weekly unemployment claims increase was attributed to seasonal factors. Investors are now looking to US economic data anticipated this week to confirm rate-cut predictions. The Q2 advance estimate for GDP growth, personal expenditure, and income, as well as the June PCE price index, the Federal Reserve’s favoured inflation gauge, are all important indicators. Meanwhile, investors are assessing the impact of President Joe Biden’s decision to terminate his reelection campaign and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris.

    Stock market live news: China Lowers LPR Rates, Cuts Key Short-Term Rate

    PBOC 5Year Loan Prime Rate (Jul)

    A: 3.85% F: 3.95% P:3.95%

    PBOC 1Year Loan Prime Rate

    A: 3.35%% F: 3.45% P: 3.45%

    IMPACT: Slightly Positive for base Metals and Negative for Yuan

    The People’s Bank of China unexpectedly slashed key lending rates to new record lows at the July fixing to help a fragile recovery. The one-year loan prime rate (LPR), the benchmark for most corporate and household loans, was cut to 3.35%. Meanwhile, the five-year rate, a reference for property mortgages, was trimmed to 3.85%. Monday’s moves came as the central bank also decided to reduce a key short-term policy rate for the first time in nearly a year following last week’s Third Plenum gathering, and weak Q2 GDP figures and mixed activity data in June. The board lowered the seven-day reverse repo rate to 1.7% from 1.8%, citing efforts to optimize open market operations and increase financial support. Bloomberg News said the seven-day rate could be the future benchmark policy rate as the PBoC in recent weeks indicated a shift toward the short-term rate to guide markets. This will reduce the importance of the existing 1-year benchmark, the medium-term lending facility rate.

    Stock market live news: Broker’s call: Havells India (Add)

    Havells India’s sales growth was healthy at 20 per cent y-o-y to ₹5,800 crore, 3 per cent above our estimate, largely driven by Lloyd (+47 per cent y-o-y) and ECD (+20 per cent y-o-y led by fans and air-coolers) amid strong summer season. Gross margin rose 150 bps y-o-y to 31.9 per cent, but was lower than past three quarters by 100-140bps due to cost inflation and sales mix.

    Stock market live today: Market report from Arvinder Singh Nanda, Senior Vice President, of Master Capital Services

    The momentum in Nifty and Sensex softened this week as profit booking was seen ahead of the Union Budget 2024 presentation next week. This highly anticipated event will address the needs and expectations of a diverse range of stakeholders, including common taxpayers, investors, industries, farmers, women, and major industry sectors such as FMCG, real estate, and technology. This week, the rally in the benchmark indices was driven by IT stocks, buoyed by strong performance in the June quarter (Q1FY25) and expectations regarding the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut. India’s wholesale inflation rate surged to 3.36% in June, up from 2.61% in May, which, was primarily driven by rising food and energy prices. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) extended their buying in this week, as they bought equities worth of Rs 10,946 crore, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DII) sell equities worth Rs 4226 crore.

    The Nifty index has formed a shooting star candle on the weekly charts, suggesting a potential reversal from the recent upward trend after making an all-time high of 24854.80. The immediate support levels are 24,150 and then 23,750. A break below these levels could signal continued bearish momentum and potential further declines. On the upside, the resistance zone is between 24,850 and 24,900. The key indicator RSI starts declining from a level of 75, indicating that the index is moving out of the overbought territory and may be due for a correction or a pullback.

    Bank Nifty has been trading within a range since June 20th, indicating a period of consolidation. Market participants are awaiting heavyweight stock results, particularly from Kotak Mahindra Bank and HDFC Bank, which are expected today. The immediate support levels are 51,800 and 51,100. A break below these levels could signal further downside momentum and potential declines. On the upside, the resistance zone is between 52,850 and 53,400. If the index breaks mentioned supports, consider adjusting strategies to sell or short the market. Conversely, if Bank Nifty remains above these support levels and heavyweight results are positive, it could lead to a breakout from the current range.

    Stock market live news: This week’s market report by Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst at Swastika Investmart 

    The market experienced minor gains, extending its gaining streak to seven weeks. However, a sharp fall on Friday erased most of the gains made during the week. Despite this, Sensex and Nifty outperformed broader markets. IT firms delivered stellar performances over the past week, contributing significantly to the market’s overall performance.

    The upcoming Union Budget on July 23, 2024, has become the next focal point for the market, with high expectations for growth-oriented policies. Several factors will influence the market direction, including Q1FY25 earnings reports, domestic and global economic data, and broader global market trends. Market sentiment will be closely monitored by observing foreign and domestic institutional investor activity (FII and DII) and crude oil prices.

    Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the Union Budget for 2024-2025 in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, July 23, 2024. On the domestic front, the Q1FY25 earnings season also begins this week. Key companies such as Bajaj Finance (BAJFINANCE), Hindustan Unilever (HINDUNILVR), Axis Bank (AXISBANK), Larsen & Toubro (LT), Nestle India (NESTLEIND), and Cipla (CIPLA) will release their earnings from July 23 to 26, 2024, respectively. Additionally, the development of the monsoon season will be a significant point of interest for investors and traders.

    On the global front, the US market has experienced some profit booking from higher levels as investors take profits from tech shares that have been highly profitable this year. Market participants will be closely focused on US economy data like US durable goods data and US core PCE price data on July 25 and July 26, respectively. 

    The Nifty index has shown its first signs of weakness after a significant vertical rise, forming a bearish engulfing candlestick on the daily chart. However, to confirm a reversal, we need follow-up selling. A decisive move below 24,500 can lead to further weakness, potentially driving the index towards the 24,000-23,650 range, with intermediate support between 24,250-24,150. On the upside, the 24,800-25,000 range will act as a supply zone. A move above 25,000 could signal a continuation of the rally.

    For the Bank Nifty index, there is an immediate and crucial support level at 52,000. A decisive move below this level can lead to further weakness towards the 51,000 mark. On the upside, the 52,800-53,000 range serves as a critical resistance zone. A breakout above this level could trigger a rally towards the 53,500-54,000 range.
