Market View: The current uncertain times are best suited to buy such quality stocks

We encourage investors to look at the bigger picture, it is true that inflation will linger for a while and hurt corporate earnings in India, but over the medium to long term there are many companies with good fundamentals, robust financials and competitive advantages that are doing well will work. In addition, India is better positioned than its peers in terms of growth drivers and ability to combat current inflation. Therefore, the current uncertain times are the best time to buy such quality stocks and investors can employ the buy-on dips strategy, but in the short term markets will be volatile.

Market LIVE Updates: Nifty extends slide, nearing 15,750 mark

Following the gloomy cues from global markets amid a surge in US headline inflation, the Nifty has pulled back near the 15670-15750 support zone. This is a critical area of support for the index as it has held steady over the past three months. A break and sustainability below this zone would open the door for an extension of the decline towards 15000 levels. On the upside, 16000 is now becoming immediate resistance for the Nifty.

Market LIVE Updates: LIC down 4% as anchor lockdown ends

Shares in India’s Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) fell for the 10th straight session on Monday. The 30-day lock-up period for anchor investors ended today and the stock is now down over 28 per cent from its issue price of Rs 949. Rs 949 apiece can sell their shares on the open market from Monday.

10-year bond yields hit over 3-year high

The benchmark 10-year bond yield traded at 7.60%, the highest since February 28, 2019. The yield had ended at 7.52% on Friday.

The short-term market trend is weak. May’s US inflationary pressures of 8.6% vs. market expectation of 8.3% are likely to make the Fed more hawkish with a series of 50bps rate hikes that will take the final rate above 3.5% by mid-2023. Such a scenario would be negative for risky assets like equities, especially in the context of slowing global growth. The Indian market will not stabilize until the US market stabilizes. Therefore, investors can wait and watch until clarity about the market trend emerges. A bright spot is the 7.1% increase in IIP, indicating that the Indian economy is doing well. Therefore, long-term investors can take advantage of market declines to buy high-quality, economy-focused stocks such as capital goods, banks, telecoms, and export segments.

Sensex Heatmap: Only 2 index stocks are trading positive

OPENING BELL: Sensex dives 1,300 points on global sell-off, Nifty below 15,850; RBL Bank crashes 10%

Weak global sentiment and weak Asian and European currencies have allowed the rupee to open below 78 after the RBI ensured it had not breached 77.70. Will have to watch RBI how it behaves over the next few days. Crude Oil is below 120 which is little consolation as Chinese demand and recession prospects worry investors. Exporters could sell near 78.20 as a 40 paise gap to the upside provides an opportunity. Importers will have to wait below 78.00 to buy their near-term imports.
