    Share market live news: Here’s what Aditya Gaggar, Director of Progressive Shares, said on market trends

    Heavyweights-led recovery pushed the Index higher to end the 22nd May trade at 22,598. The presence of strong momentum was seen as the Index has made back-to-back green candles on the daily chart indicating a high probability of retesting its previous high of 22,780 while on the lower side, the support is placed at 22,470.

    BankNifty remained an area of concern and limited the upmove of Nifty50. A firm move above 48,200 is a must to regain its momentum while 47,500 acts as a strong support. The Auto sector has been oscillating in a thin range, and at any point in time, we can expect a breakout. Coal India from the Energy segment is performing as per our expectations and we continue to hold a positive stance. A bullish Flag and Pole Formation breakout in the FMCG sector suggests continuation of the current underlying uptrend. We can expect some profit booking correction in the Metal sector; however, the underlying uptrend will remain intact and such corrections will provide better entry points. 

    The pharma sector is on the verge of giving a much-awaited range breakout and post the breakout, we can foresee a strong outperformance.

    Market live news: Gold dips to $2372, Silver down at $30.40

    Gold prices fell as concerns about a hawkish Fed outpaced safe-haven demand and central-bank purchases. According to the minutes of the Fed’s May meeting, the FOMC was concerned about the stickiness of inflation this year, prompting many members to suggest their willingness to tighten monetary policy if price rise remained stubbornly over target. The hawkish opinion was broadly consistent with recent policymakers’ utterances, showing that there is insufficient confidence to cut interest rates given the current inflationary environment.

    Silver fell as traders began to reduce their expectations of rate reduction by the United States Federal Reserve this year. According to the minutes of the Federal Reserve’s April 30-May 1 meeting, it will take longer than expected to establish confidence in inflation rising to 2%. Recent statistics suggested that U.S. inflation has resumed its downward trajectory, but several Fed members were wary about dropping rates too soon while ruling out the necessity for another boost. Silver is poised for its fourth consecutive year of deficit due to tighter supplies, with inventories tracked by the London Bullion Market Association falling to the second-lowest level on record in April and volumes at New York and Shanghai exchanges remaining near seasonal lows.

    Stock market live news: Sensex, Nifty set for a muted start on fading hopes of early US rate cut

    India’s equity benchmarks BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty are set for a muted open on Thursday, after the Federal Reserve’s latest policy minutes reflected disappointment in recent inflation data, dampening hopes of an early rate cut.

    The Gift Nifty was trading at 22,646 as of 7:52 a.m., indicating the Nifty 50 will open near Wednesday’s close of 22,597.80.

    Asian markets opened lower, with the MSCI Asia ex-Japan index dropping 0.75 per cent.

    Share market live news: Here’s what Aditi Nayar, Chief Economist, Head Research and Outreach, ICRA Ltd, said on the RBI dividend

    “The amount of Rs. 2.11-lakh crore is well above the budgeted figure of Rs. 1.5-lakh crore in the Interim Budget for FY2025 under dividends and profits, which includes dividends from PSUs. The higher-than-budgeted RBI surplus transfer would help to boost the GoI’s resource envelope in FY2025, allowing for enhanced expenditures or a sharper fiscal consolidation than what was pencilled into the Interim Budget for FY2025. Increasing the funds available for capex would certainly boost the quality of the fiscal deficit. However, the additional spending may be difficult to be incurred within the 8-odd months left after the Final Budget is presented and approved by Parliament.”

    Share market live news: Here’s what Madhavi Arora of Emkay Global said on RBI dividend

    RBI’s dividend payout in end-May (to be effectively spent only in early June) and post-election pent up spending by the Govt. in June/July should augur well for the banking system liquidity, which is currently in deficit of more than Rs 1tn. The improvement in liquidity will be further helped by lower CIC in coming months and consistent debt FPI flows. We see net liquidity surplus averaging ~0.5-0.8% of NDTL in coming three months vs current deficit of ~0.5% of NDTL.

    While this would lead the call money rate mostly tracking the repo rate or a tad lower than repo rate, we do not immediately see the RBI taking any drastic actions to suck out this liquidity durably from the system via blunt tools like OMOs (alb use regular tools like VRRR). This is especially so given that there has anyway been coordinated fiscal, monetary and regulatory tightening in the economy. We reckon that the overall inflation dynamics have been favourable and unless there is any material upside deviation from the RBI’s forecast (FY25: 4.5%), the ensuing liquidity surplus may not disturb the RBI as much, assuming global rates remain soft.

    If the RBI was a listed entity like Japan’s Central Bank or the Bank of Japan, and investors are ready to buy it at a 5 per cent dividend yield today (assuming profits can increase over the years), the RBI would be worth a staggering $ 500 billion. And much more if one is ready to accept a lower dividend yield. But again, let’s stick to prudence here, too, and not think along those lines. This point is just to highlight what a wonderful job the RBI and its Governors have done over the decades. Read an analysis on RBI’s latest dividend transfer to the government.

    However, Kal Airways has rejected the same, stating that the Division Bench’s award remained in favour of Kal Airways and Kalanidhi Maran.

    The Delhi High Court’s Division Bench on May 17 set aside a single judge bench’s order that had upheld an arbitral award requiring SpiceJet and its promoter Ajay Singh to refund ₹580 crore plus ₹150 crore interest to Maran.

    ESG disclosures for the value chain will be applicable to the top 250 listed entities on a comply-or-explain basis from FY25. 

    The committee felt the definition of ‘value chain’ needed to be rationalised to cover only significant partners. Accordingly, value chain partners would be redefined to include those upstream and downstream partners of a listed entity, individually comprising 2 per cent or more of the listed entity’s purchases or sales (by value), respectively.

    This surge has taken the share price well above the key resistance level of ₹510. This level has been capping the upside since October last year. So, the breakout is very significant.
