Equity Alert: Global cues, oil prices to drive market activity in near-term

MUMBAI--1635 IST--Global cues and oil prices are likely to drive activity in the equity markets in the coming weeks following the conclusion of the June quarter earnings season, according to analysts. On Friday, both the Nifty 50 and the BSE Sensex ended slightly lower as crude oil prices inched up amid the US-Iran hostilities. October Brent crude futures gained around 2% and touched an intraday high of nearly $89 per barrel on Friday.

Friday, Nifty 50 closed at 24366 points, down 29.85 points or 0.1%, marking its lowest closing level in August. The BSE Sensex closed at 78009.25 points, down 70.71 points or 0.1% lower. Immediate support for the 50-stock index is at 24200, with a fall below the psychologically significant level of 24000 possible thereafter. The index is expected to face resistance at 24500 points in the near-term. Sundar Kewat, technical and derivatives analyst at Ashika Institutional Equity, said the Nifty 50 found strong support at its 20-day moving average of 24323 in the previous three sessions.

Indices are not expected to move in a clear direction in the near term, given the absence of concrete positive or negative triggers, according to analysts. "Markets are lacking some kind of positive triggers or negative triggers which are coming, which are yet to come or which haven't come yet. So, I would say that, you know, it is a good idea to stay long in Nifty," Kewat said. With foreign institutional investor inflows turning positive in August, Kewat is optimistic that the 50-stock index could head towards the 25000 level in the coming few weeks. However, the analyst acknowledged that, given the lack of a clear resolution to the US-Iran war, crude oil prices could cause short-term volatility in the equity markets. 

The closing auction mechanism implemented last week has increased volatility, particularly on expiry days of Nifty 50 derivatives contracts, an analyst at a major broking firm said. "So, on expiry days, there might be some more volatility, but on other days, that is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I think on those days, you will likely see a more subdued closing," the analyst said.

Equity Alert: Indices end slightly dn; Nifty 50 ends at lowest level in Aug

MUMBAI--1550 IST--Benchmark indices ended lower on Friday as ongoing tensions between the US and Iran kept oil prices at around $88 per barrel. With only 10 of its constituents ending higher, the Nifty 50 index closed lower for the fourth straight session. Both the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex opened the session lower on Friday and moved within a range until afternoon, following which they came off lows, with the Nifty managing to briefly inch higher. This was due to the Nifty 50 touching its support level at 24330, which triggered a brief buying action in the market, according to analysts. Subsequently, however, the index gave up its marginal gains but managed to end above its intraday low.

Friday, the Nifty 50 index closed at 24366, down 29.85 points or 0.1%, marking its lowest closing level in August. The BSE Sensex closed at 78009.25, down 70.71 points or 0.1%.

This comes after shares of heavyweight constituent Zee Entertainment surged during the session after the Securities Appellate Tribunal allowed the company to move on with its INR-31.43-billion fund-raising. The stock ended 6% higher, among the top gainers in the Nifty 500.

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicle closed 4% lower and was the worst-hit constituent of the Nifty 50 index after the company detailed its June quarter results Thursday. The automobile maker's consolidated net profit plunged 80% on year to INR 7.75 billion. The bottom line was dragged down by the underperformance of its UK-based subsidiary Jaguar Land Rover Automotive PLC. On the other hand, Apollo Hospitals Enterprise ended nearly 4% higher after the company on Thursday guided for growth of 20% on year in its hospitals operations in the current financial year.

LG Electronics India closed at its 10% upper circuit, and was the highest gainer in the Nifty 200 and Nifty 500 indices. This was after the electronics company's June quarter earnings beat the Street's estimates. For Apr-Jun, the company reported 27% on-year growth in its net profit at INR 6.53 billion, while its revenue grew 15% on year to INR 72.33 billion. On the other hand, National Aluminium Co. ended over 6% lower and was the worst-hit stock in both the Nifty 200 and Nifty 500 indices amid lower global aluminium prices. (Shruti Nair)

Equity Alert: Zee Entertainment shrs gain 8% post SAT relief on fund raising

MUMBAI--1354 IST--Shares of Zee Entertainment Enterprises rose over 8% to an intraday high of INR 104.74 after the Securities Appellate Tribunal allowed the company to move on with its INR 31.43 billion fund raising.
