Stock market live updates: Here’s what Parth Nyati, Founder at Tradingo, said on the impact of India-Canada tensions on markets
Will Canadian pension funds review their Indian investments?
Currently, the market appears to be relatively unfazed by the tension between India and Canada. Despite the significant investments made by the Canada pension fund in the Indian equity market and the exposure of many Indian IT companies to the Canadian market, the market seems to be taking a more composed stance, viewing the issue primarily as a political one.
Immediate implications on trade relations between the two countries are not perceived to be substantial.
Pension funds, known for their long-term investment perspective, typically do not react hastily to such geopolitical events.
They maintain a strategic outlook and are likely to wait for developments before making any major adjustments. There’s a reasonable expectation that this issue will be resolved over time.
However, should the tension escalate further, a thorough analysis of the situation will be warranted.
At this moment, it’s crucial for investors to remain steady and avoid succumbing to panic.

QSR stocks: Demand yet to see an upswing, says Nirmal Bang Instituitional Equities

Post the month of ‘Shravan’ (when consumption of non-veg food reduces in some regions), which ended on 31 August, there has been no sign of strong resumption of demand vs the healthy trends seen last year. A delayed festive season - unlike last year - is also leading to weak YoY growth, according to QSR channel check by Nirmal Bang Instituitional Equities.

Stock Market Live Updates: Emkay Global’s Jaykrishna Gandhi on market valuations and global factors
Jaykrishna Gandhi, Head - Business Development, Institutional Equities, Emkay Global Financial Services on markets
“Despite touching all time highs the nifty ended marginally down over the past five days. Valuations are increasingly getting a bit uncomfortable especially within the small and mid-cap space. The frontline market still seems one where buy on dips can be the preferred strategy. Consumer space, metals and select large cap banks can be the drivers of keeping the Nifty buoyant.
China on the other hand keeps taking measures to resurrect its economy, the latest being a 25bps cut in CRR in an attempt to increase the system wide liquidity. Driven by potential rebound in China, lower SPR and continued production cuts at Saudi has ensured Oil is now nearing $100/bbl. If Chinese economy surprises positively there is a high probability that Oil will breach the physiological $100/bbl mark which will be viewed negatively for Indian equities especially going into an election year.
On the US front, all eyes will be on the US FOMC meeting tonight. Any soft guidance can potentially drive risk sentiment globally and would be viewed as one that can be taken as slightly long term in nature.”

Share Market Live Updates: Prabhudas Lilladher initiates ‘BUY’ rating on RR Kabel with TP of Rs 1,407
Prabhudas Lilladher initiates coverage on RR Kabel with a ‘BUY’ rating and TP of Rs1407 valuing at 35x FY25 earnings. We believe RR Kabel is a play on several opportunities in the W&C segment given 1) strong brand with diverse product portfolio 2) well-structured capacity expansion plans, 3) increasing dealers /distribution network and 4) distribution led export business. Although the company has grown its FMEG portfolio inorganically, yet it expects to minimize losses in coming years by transitioning towards premium markets. In FMEG, too, the company has enhanced its brand presence, positioning and manufacturing capabilities to minimize losses. We estimate Revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 20.7%/38.8%/44.3% over FY23-26 led by 1) improving business mix 2) operating leverage & cost optimization 3) investments in brand building and 4) increasing distribution reach. Initiate ‘BUY’.

Share Market Live Today: Emkay Global maintains BUY rating on HDFC Bank with TP of Rs 2,100
Emkay Global Financial Services on HDFC Bank
HDFC Bank hosted an analyst meet to primarily discuss the adjustments to op. net worth (NW) of eHDFCL and its potential impact on merged NIMs/asset quality aligning with HDFCB’s policy framework. As per management, net adjustments to eHDFCL’s op. NW of Rs1,340bn as on March 31 would work out to Rs364bn/Rs48 per share and, thus, net adj. NW would be Rs976bn. The adjustments include I-Gaap alignment of Rs118bn, credit harmonization of Rs76bn, DTL impact of Rs49bn, tax shield of Rs40bn, Q1FY24 profit of Rs62bn, dividend payout of Rs81bn, and cancellation of inv/share-swap of Rs142bn. We had largely factored in these adjustments, but for DTL and prudent contingent provisions, which we believe will protect future profitability and boost RoEs. Separately, the bank has guided for calibrated growth in the near term with a focus on building granular liability to replace HDFCL’s high-cost borrowing and ramping-up the mortgage business from the bank’s platform, which coupled with reducing the regulatory drag should lead to margin/RoA normalization.
Factoring in incremental NW adjustments, we have lowered our BVPS estimates by 1-2% but expect the bank’s RoA/RoE to improve from 1.9%/15.8% in FY24E (merged) to ~2%/17.3% by FY26E, as merger synergies kick in. We retain BUY with a TP of Rs2,100,valuing the core bank at 2.8x Sep-25E ABV and subs/inv. at Rs185/share.

Commodities Market Live Updates: World Gold Council members commit to enhanced supply-chain transparency
The World Gold Council today announced that its members, who represent the majority of the global large-scale gold mining industry, have committed to providing enhanced transparency in the gold supply chain.
All 33 World Gold Council members with operating mines, who collectively produce c.1,300 tonnes of gold per annum, have committed to publishing the names and location of their refining partners on at least an annual basis, to include all operations where the primary revenue comes from the production of gold.
All members have also committed to joining the Gold Bar Integrity (GBI) platform and supply, on a confidential basis, “core data” on the gold they have produced to their refining partners. This ensures gold enters the Gold Bar Integrity platform “at source” and is a major step in the digitalisation of gold across the supply chain. It will provide the gold industry with a robust and verifiable ledger of responsibly mined gold, which will create significant opportunities for new product development and increase gold’s attractiveness as a trusted asset class for existing and new investors and customers.

Share Market Live Updates: JM Financial maintains buy ratings on HDFC Bank with Rs 1,850 target price
HDFC Bank, at its Analyst Day, disclosed details regarding the opening balance sheet of the merged entity along with other details on the merged financials.
The incoming networth of HDFC Ltd will stand at INR1.11tn (against INR1.34tn i.e. lower by 16%) as of Mar-23 led by multiple impact of a) provisions b) IGAAP alignment c) tax-related adjustments and d)dividend payout. In addition, given the large excess liquidity build-up in the run up to the merger, the income NIM of HDFC Ltd stood at 2% (vs 2.7% for 1QFY24) and this could drag down the merged entity’s margins by 25-30bps in the near-term and will recover gradually over the next 2-3 quarters. Additionally, merged entity on an opening basis will see 20bps increase in GNPL given that HDFC’s wholesale portfolio has seen asset quality deterioration (GNPL at 6.7% vs 2.9% in Mar-23) as per bank’s review. Provisioning alignment also entails the bank raising PCR on GNPLs from 42% to 74% on GNPLs which has been adjusted through the opening networth of the merged entity. As we incorporate these details into our estimates, our “below consensus” FY24/FY25e EPS are slightly tweaked (1-2% change) while we adjust our BVPS expectations lower given the lower opening networth of HDFC Ltd. Maintain BUY with a target price of INR1850 (values the bank at 2.5x FY25e P/BV).

All members have also committed to joining the Gold Bar Integrity (GBI) platform and supply, on a confidential basis, “core data” on the gold they have produced to their refining partners.
This ensures gold enters the Gold Bar Integrity platform “at source” and is a major step in the digitalisation of gold across the supply chain.
It will provide the gold industry with a robust and verifiable ledger of responsibly mined gold, which will create significant opportunities for new product development and increase gold’s attractiveness as a trusted asset class for existing and new investors and customers.

Bullion market: Here’s what Chintan Mehta, CEO, Abans Holdings, said on outlook for gold
Gold gained some strength as the US Dollar weakened during the past few trading sessions, In the upcoming Federal Reserve rate decision today, the Fed is likely to keep the rate unchanged. The market will focus on the FOMC statement, as it will provide insights into the Fed’s outlook for interest rates, which will play a crucial role in determining the future trajectory of the bullion market. If the Fed shows signs of caution before deciding on further rate hikes, the bullion market may rally. On the other hand, if the Fed remains hawkish due to a soft landing, Gold and Silver may struggle to withstand bearish pressure.
Today the market will take some cues from inflation data from the UK. Market will remain focused on the forthcoming interest rate decision, and further direction of the Federal Reserve.
Participation in gold has decreased as the price strengthened during the last trading session. Overall participation continues to hover at lower levels, setting the stage for a potential rally in gold once participation increases. We believe gold may consolidate at current price levels; however, it still represents a favorable investment opportunity.
Currently we are looking at a support levels at Rs 58,300 levels. On the upside, gold encounters resistance at Rs 59,500. If this level is breached, we may witness an extended rally.

Stock market live updates: Sensex tanks over 600 points. What should investors do now
Here is the view from Parth Nyati, Founder at Tradingo
Today, both Nifty and Sensex experienced profit booking, largely attributed to a sharp sell-off in HDFC Bank following its analyst meeting. During the meeting, concerns were raised about potential margin pressure and the asset quality post-merger of HDFC twins.
Additionally, global markets exhibited caution in anticipation of the upcoming FOMC meeting. Factors such as increasing US bond yields, rupee weakness, a surge in crude oil prices, and selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) further contributed to the challenges faced by our markets.
From a technical perspective, Nifty and Sensex have identifiable immediate support levels at 19,900 and 66,900, respectively. If these levels are breached, we may witness additional profit booking, potentially leading towards 19,640 for Nifty and 66,000 for Sensex.

Sectoral Updates: Indian 2W market expected to reach 28 million by FY2039
We model the Indian domestic 2W market to increase from 16 mn in FY2023 to 28 mn by FY2039, whereby it will reach a penetration of 66% at the household level.
2W OEMs have seen a 15-46% rally in their stock prices in the past six months, resulting in them trading above their pre-pandemic multiples.
Our reverse valuation exercise of the major 2W stocks implies a domestic market size of 2.5X the likely market size in FY2039. We note that 2W companies currently enjoy strong profitability and extraordinary high returns. As such, we see large risks to pricing and volumes both, especially given the steady ramp-up expected in both the mass and premium segments. -- Kotak Institutional Equities

“Markets may struggle in early Wednesday trades amid weak global cues as investors are likely to maintain caution ahead of the outcome of the US FOMC meeting on interest rates later today. Nervousness will prevail as besides the US Fed meeting, the BoE, the BoJ and central banks of Sweden, Norway and Switzerland are also scheduled to meet this week on their decision on interest rates. Also dampening the sentiments are WTI crude futures spiking towards $91.13 per barrel, the US Dollar index rising to 105.33 levels, and the US 10-year Treasury yields spiking to 4.33%. Technically for Nifty, the biggest make-or-break support is seen at the 19821 mark.” --
