    The rupee recovered from its all-time low level and appreciated 6 paise to 83.72 (provisional) against the US dollar on Friday, on strength in the domestic markets and expectations of fresh foreign inflows.

    Forex traders said the rupee traded within a narrow range, taking cues from the dollar index, which remained flat.

    At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local unit opened at 83.72 and touched an intra-day high of 83.69 and a low of 83.73 against the dollar during the session. Read more

    Stock market live updates today: Meeta Shetty, Fund Manager at Tata Asset Management

    The Indian IT results so far have been mixed on revenue growth but on the positive side, most companies indicated green shoots in the spends on discretionary projects as well as some large verticals such as BFSI. The BFSI sector is the largest contributor to revenue for the large IT companies and has seen tepid growth in the last few quarters. The outlook for the BFSI vertical, which the companies have provided, indicates it has returned to growth. If one corroborates this with the commentary of large global banks, it increases our confidence in this vertical’s growth outlook. Though the quarterly data from US banks on tech spending doesn’t show any meaningful change in trends yet.

    On the profitability side we have seen mixed numbers so far, wherein certain large companies have tightened costs very well, leading to margin expansion. While some of the companies, especially in the mid-cap IT space, have seen weak margins. Growth is usually a strong margin lever for the companies and if discretionary spends were to comeback in the industry, it could negate the margin pressure.

    On valuations, the IT sector has inched up to ~24x FY26E EPS and is trading higher versus its long-term average of ~18x. The increase in valuation has been due partly to anticipation of interest rate cuts in the US markets, and partly due to under ownership of the sector by FIIs and DIIs.

    Stock market live news: India Budget shows capex growth, lower deficit: Christopher Wood of Jefferies

    Christopher Wood, Global Equity Strategist, Jefferies

    The India budget was announced on Tuesday, and it remains devoid of populism. The growth of capex is maintained at 17% and such investment will account for 23% of total government spending and 3.4% of GDP. The projected central government fiscal deficit for this fiscal year is 4.9% of GDP, compared with market expectations of 5.3% before the February budget.

    The above is positive for both the bond market and the Indian currency. The key news for the stock market was the increase in the capital gains tax. For now GREED & fear is astonished again, as was also the case after the election, about the lack of any meaningful correction in response to the news.

    In meetings in Delhi at the end of last week, GREED & fear found a general consensus that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be able to keep his coalition government intact for the full five-year term with the general view being that the opposition has very little to offer the two small parties in the current NDA government.

    Bullion market live updates: Silver gains $27.93

    Silver prices rose slightly but remained on course for a weekly loss, as traders anticipated U.S. inflation statistics for more clues on the path of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cuts. Data showed that the US economy grew faster than predicted in the second quarter, but inflation pressures eased, maintaining expectations of a Fed interest rate cut in September. Demand concerns in top consumer China also kept silver prices under pressure, despite a lack of meaningful and robust official efforts to bolster the economy and resuscitate the real estate industry. Meanwhile, China’s central bank unexpectedly dropped its one-year medium-term loan facility rate amid attempts by policymakers to boost the economy with monetary stimulus.

    Key economic data slated for release include Spanish Unemployment Rate from Euro Zone and Core PCE Price Index m/m, Revised UoM Consumer Sentiment, Revised UoM Inflation Expectations from US Zone.

    Bullion market live today: Gold up at $2,375

    Gold gained to approximately $2,375, recovering from a more than 1% drop the previous session as investors digested better-than-expected US economic data and anticipated the PCE inflation report later today.

    The US indices showcased a mixed performance in their previous trading session as both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ ended their day on a negative note, whereas DJIA remained positive. The market had seen some early upward momentum before sliding down during the latter part of the day as the participants were cautious amidst concerns about large-cap earnings. US GDP data was also released yesterday, which showed that the GDP grew by 2.8%, beating the market expectations of 2%. The Asian markets were trading positively, with NIKKEI and Hang Seng trading in the green.

    Share market live updates: Nifty index gains 1.5% in July amid sectoral shifts

    Nuvama Institutional Equities

    Rollovers - SSF: 93%; Mkt Wide: 89%; Nifty: 70% 

    Market-wide OI is at historic highs | Bullish momentum should continue with sectoral rotation

    Client (HNI/Retail) covers all Index shorts, adds meaningful SSF longs; FII adds SSF longs and lighten Index longs

    In the July series, the Nifty index showcased a modest yet intriguing performance, trading within a tight range of 1,000 points and 

    ultimately closing with a 1.5% gain at 24,400 levels. The overall index volatility appeared limited, primarily due to significant sectoral 

    rotations. IT, FMCG, and Pharma sectors drove the gains with impressive increases of 11%, 10%, and 8% respectively.

    Conversely, the 

    banking sector exerted downward pressure, with Nifty Bank ending 3.5% lower, and Metals seeing a 6.5% decline. The series painted a balanced picture at the index level, underscored by budget day volatility and dynamic sectoral shifts throughout 

    the period.

    FIIs were net buyers to the tune of USD 3.3 bn, while DIIs continued to support the market with a deployment of USD 0.73 bn. While the participation of HNIs and Retail investors is not officially reported, their influence on the market must have undoubtedly been significant.

    Nifty Index gained 1.5%, settling at 24,406 and Nifty Bank was down 3.6%, settling at 50,889. The Mid-cap and Small-cap Index 

    were outliers with the gains of 2.4% and 2.8% respectively. 

    In July series, the sectoral indices which gained the most were IT Index (up 10.9%), FMCG Index (up 9.7%), Pharma Index (up 8.2%), Energy Index (up 3.5%), Media Index (up 2.3%) and Auto Index (up 1.7%) while the sectors which settled in red are Metals Index (down 6.3%), Private Bank Index (down 3.9%), Realty Index (down 3.1%), Financial Services Index (down 2.4%) and PSU Bank Index (down 2.1%).

    Share market live today: Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research at HDFC Securities shares his views on Indian stock market

    The Dow posted modest gains, but the Nasdaq and S&P 500 booked a third straight day of losses, as investors remained cautious ahead of Friday’s inflation update. US equities rallied earlier Thursday after data showed the pace of US growth picked up from the previous quarter — while moderating from last year. Alphabet Inc Class A fell more than 3%, pressuring the rebound in tech amid worries that its search business is set for fierce competition from OpenAI’s Search GPT.

    Gold fell more than 2% on Thursday, after a better-than-expected reading on U.S. gross domestic product led to expectations for higher-for-longer U.S. interest rates, which contributed to a drop in the price of the precious metal to the lowest level in more than two weeks.

    US economic growth accelerated by more than forecast in the second quarter, illustrating demand is holding up under the weight of higher borrowing costs. Gross domestic product increased at a 2.8% annualized rate after rising 1.4% in the previous quarter and 2% forecast. The personal consumption expenditures price index, a key measure for the Fed, rose 2.6% for the quarter, down from the 3.4% move in Q1. Core PCE prices were up 2.9%, down from 3.7%. A separate report showed durable goods orders fell 6.6% in June, compared with expectations for a 0.3% rise.

    Asian equities showed signs of recovery on Friday as traders balanced resilience in the US economy with firming expectations of Federal Reserve cuts in coming months.

    Nifty ended almost flat on July 25 after a low opening. At close, Nifty was down 0.03% or 7.4 points at 24406.1. Nifty formed a mildly bullish counterattack type candle. The recent weakness may have got arrested and we may see consolidation/upward bounce in the Nifty soon. Nifty could rise towards 24592 in the near term while 24141 could provide support.

    Stock market live news: V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services on market outlook

    “The unique feature of the ongoing bull market in India is its ability to climb all walls of worry. The market dismissed all concerns relating to elections, the Budget and the correction in the mother market US. The buy on dips strategy which has played out well in this rally continues to hold good. However, the valuation discrepancy - largecaps fairly valued and mid and small caps highly valued - continues. Long-term investors should exploit this discrepancy by buying quality largecaps on declines. FPIs have again turned sellers and this might put further pressure on largecaps even though the FPI selling is being matched by DII buying.

    The US Q2 GDP numbers coming better than expected at 2.8% further reinforces the soft landing hope for the US economy.”

    Stock market live today: MOFSL on Mankind Pharma

    Mankind Pharma: Unlocking new vertical through BSV acquisition

    - Mankind Pharma (MANKIND) would acquire Bharat Serum Vaccines (BSV) for EV of INR136b, implying EV/EBITDA of 28x/22-23x on FY24/FY25 basis.

    - This acquisition not only expands Mankind’s niche portfolio, but also provides specialty R&D tech platform, in-house complex manufacturing capabilities and strong institutional reach.

    - Considering access to high entry barrier business, healthy mix of domestic-international segment and potential for sustainable EBITDA growth (27% EBITDA YoY growth in FY25), we believe the valuation is fair to acquire BSV.

    - We await clarity on deal structure in terms of debt/equity fund raise to consume the deal from the concall scheduled on today at 5pm. Having said this, considering current cash of INR42b from internal accruals, we assume debt/equity of INR60b/INR32b to complete the transaction. Free cash generated from base business would subsequently lower debt levels for Mankind. Maintain BUY.
