Ola Electric Mobility Ltd., the electric vehicle pioneer, made a its debut on the stock market, listing at its issue price of Rs. 76 per share. This flat performance, coupled with a mere 4.45 times subscription, underscores the challenges the company faces in gaining investor confidence.

While Ola Electric’s vision for the EV market is ambitious, the company’s current financial performance, marked by consistent losses, and the highly competitive landscape have tempered investor enthusiasm. The negative grey market sentiment prior to listing further reflected these concerns.

Investors are suggested to exit and book a minor profit, but those who want to take risks may hold their position by keeping a stop loss below 70.

Silver prices rose as statistics showed a larger-than-expected reduction in U.S. jobless claims in the week ending August 3rd. The metal drew investors despite ongoing concerns about geopolitical tensions and the future for global economic development. Optimism about the Federal Reserve’s planned round of interest rate reduction also helped. The Labour Department reported that first-time claims for unemployment benefits in the United States fell more than expected last week.

Gold prices increased on strong safe-haven demand and rising anticipation of a significant interest rate decrease from the US Federal Reserve in September. On the geopolitical stage, the execution of prominent members of the militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah last week heightened the potential of Iran retaliating against Israel. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the market now sees a 72% chance of a 50 basis point drop in September, up from 70%, with another decrease expected in December. According to US data, there were 233,000 initial unemployment claims last week, lower than expectations of 240,000 and lower than 250,000 the week before, alleviating concerns about a downturn in the world’s largest economy.

Three months after the position remained vacant, capital market regulator SEBI approved Praveena Rai’s appointment as the Managing Director and CEO of MCX, the country’s largest commodity exchange.

Rai was the COO of NPCI (National Payment Corporation of India) and was in charge of formulating and deploying the marketing, business development, product management, and operations strategy.

The storage level in the 150 major Indian reservoirs increased for the sixth consecutive week thanks to a 44 per cent surplus rainfall in the first week of August, data from the Central Water Commission (CWC) showed.

In its weekly bulletin on the status of the major reservoirs this week, CWC said the level in the major reservoirs was 65 per cent of the 178.784 billion cubic metres (BCM) capacity at 115.736 BCM. This is higher than the storage during the same time a year ago at 108.639 BCM.
