MUMBAI--1352 IST--The domestic headline indices continued to remain in positive territory though they came off the highs touched in early trade. Select pharmaceutical companies in the Nifty 50 index declined, shedding their initial gains. At 1332 IST, the Nifty 50 was up almost 2% at 22769.50 points, while the BSE Sensex was over 2% higher at 73472.37 points. As many as 13 constituents of the 50-stock index slipped into the red.

 

Broader market indices outperformed their benchmark peers with the Nifty SmallCap 100 up over 4%. All midcap indices were over 3% higher. India VIX continued to indicate an easing of nervousness of investors. The fear gauge was down nearly 2% at 24.6200.

 

Barring the Nifty Pharma and the Nifty Healthcare, all other sectoral indices rose. The Nifty PSU Bank was the top gaining sectoral index, up nearly 5%. All the constituents of the sectoral index were in the green.

 

InterGlobe Aviation led gainers in the Nifty 50 index, up over 8%. The stock rose after closing lower for the past two sessions during which it shed over 8%.

Equity Alert: Oil marketing cos rebound as crude oil slips below $100 bbl

 

MUMBAI--1350 IST--Stocks of state-owned oil marketing companies opened higher Wednesday, but fell after that. However, the stocks rebounded after Brent crude oil futures slipped below $100 per barrel.

 

Despite declining over 11% from Tuesday, crude oil prices are still higher than pre-war levels. While the government's recent cut in excise duty and imposition of windfall tax on exports of diesel and aviation turbine fuel will aid oil marketing companies, their margins are likely to come under pressure, Emkay Global Financial Services said. These companies are likely to suffer losses of INR 218 billion of integrated automobile fuel under-recoveries per fortnight, the brokerage said. While the changes in duties will likely trim down their losses to INR 133 billion but the decrease may not be sustainable, Emkay noted.

 

Hindustan Petroleum may benefit the most among the three public sector oil marketing companies since it procures around 40% of its diesel from standalone refiners, Nomura said. While high crude oil prices have not yet been passed on at the local fuel stations, if Brent crude futures remain elevated, retail fuel prices may have to be hiked, Emkay said.

 

Amid the ongoing hostilities in West Asia, Iran is unlikely to let go of its strategic advantage of control over the Strait of Hormuz and hence, oil price could also remain elevated as long as the strait remains closed, JM Financial Institutional Securities said. At 1340 IST, shares of HPCL rose 2% while shares of Bharat Petroleum Corp. and Indian Oil Corp. were up around 1?ch.  (Ruchira Kagita)

Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers was the top gainer on the Nifty 500 index, up nearly 18%. Garden Reach shares rose after the company Tuesday said it recorded its highest annual turnover of INR 64 billion for 2025-26 (Apr-Mar), up 26% on year.

 

Garden Reach commissioned five vessels during FY26, including INS Himgiri, the first Project 17A Advanced Frigate, INS Ikshak, the third Survey Vessel, and the first three Anti-submarine Warfare Shallow Water Crafts – INS Arnala, INS Androth, and INS Anjadip. 

 

Garden Reach Shipbuilders also delivered a total of eight vessels to the Indian Navy during the period, which includes two Project 17A frigates, two Survey Vessel Large ships and four Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Crafts, the company said in a filing. This development led to positive sentiment in its peers Cochin Shipyard and Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders as well. 

 

At 1347 IST, Garden Reach Shipbuilding was up 18% at INR 2,328.50. Shares of Cochin Shipyard rose nearly 13% to INR 1,347.40, while shares of Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders rose nearly 12% to INR 2,306.20. These three stocks were the major conrtibutors to the gains in the Nifty India Defence that rose over 5%.  (Adhithya Aji)

Equity Alert: Brokers, AMCs, BSE up as RBI defers capital mkt exposure norms

 

MUMBAI--1301 IST--Shares of brokerage firms, asset management companies, and the BSE rose after the Reserve Bank of India Monday deferred the implementation of its amended directions on capital market exposures until Jul. 1 from the earlier date of Apr. 1. The RBI removed the earlier restriction on banks extending finance to market makers against the specific securities in which they operate, in a bid to support market liquidity.

 

However, bank financing to capital market intermediaries for proprietary trading may be undertaken only against 100% collateral comprising cash or cash equivalents, as per the amended norms. The central bank has kept the collateral requirements in the final framework unchanged. Additionally, certain intraday facilities for non-debt mutual funds will no longer be classified as capital market exposure, the RBI said Monday.  

 

This three-month breather for stockbrokers to implement the capital market exposure norms is seen as a positive for their stocks in the near term. Analysts at Jefferies said this will be a positive development for BSE, according to a post by CNBC-TV18 on social media platform X. Shares of BSE rose as much as 8% Wednesday in response to this development.

 

Shares of brokerages Anand Rathi Wealth, Angel One, and Motilal Oswal Financial Services were 4-7% higher at 1258 IST, and those of Nuvama Wealth Management were up just 0.1%. Canara Robeco Asset Management Co., HDFC Asset Management Co., Nippon Life India Asset Management, and UTI Asset Management Co. were up 2-8%.  (Simran Rede)

This contract size dwarfs the company's December quarter consolidated net revenue of INR 13.11 billion.

The indices opened higher after slipping sharply for the previous two sessions. In the latest development on the US-Iran war, US President Donald Trump told reporters that he expects the US military forces to leave Iran in "two or three weeks." The move came after reports that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was open to ending the war with the US and Israel as long as certain conditions are met.

 

"The market might start discounting de-escalation earlier than the event," V.K. Vijayakumar, chief investment strategist at Geojit Investments, said in a note.

Meanwhile, Brent Crude oil futures declined from $116 levels, but they continue to hover near $105 per barrel. High crude oil prices may continue to pose a risk for Asian markets as most countries are net importers of crude oil.

Equity Alert: Indices may open higher on hopes of de-escalation in Iran war

 

MUMBAI--0817 IST--Benchmark indices are expected to open higher on Wednesday, setting a positive start for the financial year 2026-27 (Apr-Mar) amid hopes of de-escalation in the US-Iran war. Late Tuesday, US President Donald Trump told reporters that he expects the US military forces will leave Iran in "two or three weeks." Major equity indices across Asia were higher in early trade Wednesday on renewed hopes of a de-escalation in the war. 

  

The US has achieved the goals set before airstrikes against Iran began late last month in conjunction with Israel, Trump said. The primary goal of curtailing Iran's ability to obtain a nuclear weapon has been reached and the US is now "finishing the job." Additionally, Trump has told aides he's willing to end the military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed, The Wall Street Journal reported citing administration officials. The move came after reports that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was open to ending the war with the US and Israel as long as certain conditions are met.

 

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed that messages had been exchanged with the US, either directly or through countries in the region, Al Jazeera reported. However, Araghchi said the contact with the US did not mean that Tehran was in negotiations with Washington, the report said. Further, Iran's Revolutionary Guards on Tuesday threatened to attack American companies in the Gulf region, including Microsoft, Google, Apple, Intel, IBM, Tesla and Boeing, from Apr. 1, reports said. 

 

Gift Nifty indicates a positive start for the domestic market. At 0807 IST, the April futures contract of Gift Nifty traded at 22770.50 points, over 400 points higher than the Nifty 50's close Monday. Domestic equity markets were shut Tuesday for Mahavir Jayanti. 

 

The Nifty 50 index has strong support placed at 22500 points, which also acts as a key psychological level, Sundar Kewat, technical and derivative analyst at Ashika Institutional Equities, said. On the upside, 23000-point level stands as an immediate resistance and the 50-stock index is likely to face selling pressure around this zone. Any rise towards 23000 points can be considered a selling opportunity, with a possible downside move back towards the 22500 level, he added. 

 

As announced in the Union Budget for FY27 on Feb. 1, the increase in securities transaction tax on futures trades to 0.05% from 0.02% will come into effect from Wednesday. Automobile stocks will be in focus with major domestic companies announcing their monthly sales data. March automobile despatches are expected to have grown in double digits on year across segments, amid higher demand aided by festival tailwinds, year-end buying, strong rural cash flows, and better availability of financing, analysts said.  (Arya S.

Equity Alert: US indices see best day since May on hope of end to W Asia war

 

MUMBAI--0746 IST--All major indices on Wall Street closed with stellar gains Tuesday, with the technology-heavy Nasdaq outperforming its peers after US President Donald Trump said the war in Iran might end soon. Trump said the US would Iran leave in two-three weeks. "We leave because there's no reason for us to do this," Trump told reporters at the White House.

 

The Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite recorded their highest one-day gains since May 2025. The Nasdaq Composite closed 3.9% higher Tuesday. All the 'magnificent seven' stocks closed 3-7% higher. All major chip stocks also ended with 3-8% gains.

 

Trump's comments come even as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. While global crude oil prices fell significantly, May futures of Brent crude oil continue to hover around $105 per barrel on Wednesday.

 

Job openings in the US declined by 358,000 to 6.88 million in February, according to the US Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. This is lower than Reuters' poll estimate of 6.91 million. The hiring rate fell to 3.1% in February from 3.4% in January. The survey said that only 4.8 million workers were hired in February, the lowest since March 2020 at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Following are the closing levels of US indices Tuesday:

 

Index	Level	Change in %
S&P 500	46341.5	2.91
NASDAQ Composite	21590.629	3.83
Dow Jones Industrial Average	6258.52	2.49
