13:26 (IST) 4 Nov 2022 Nifty PSU bucks trend

Nifty PSU Bank index continued to outperform, up over 1% in a tepid market

13:25 (IST) 4 Nov 2022

“It has just been 4 days of Nov’22 and both GBPUSD and GBPINR has fallen by around 2.35 percent and 2.55 percent; touching the lower levels of 1.1147 and 92.16 respectively. The bearish trend in GBPINR is likely to continue towards 91.50 levels. Reason for this humongous fall could be attributed to two factors: 1) BoE Policy – In the recent BOE Monetary Policy, the policy setting committee hiked the interest rates by 75bps. What made the markets more chaotic was the statement by the BoE gov who said that the committee expected a recession to last for all of 2023 and the first half of 2024. 2) US Dollar Index – The greenback has surged sharply post the FOMC Policy on 2nd Nov’22. US Treasury yields have surged after the US Fed Chair’s hawkish comments on monetary policy removed doubts of any lingering hopes of a near-term pivot.”-Heena Naik, Research Analyst – Currency, Angel One Ltd

09:59 (IST) 4 Nov 2022 Rupee to remain volatile today

“The dollar index extended its gain and tested its resistance level of 112.80 once again. The US 10-year bond yields also crossed the 4.15% mark after the US Fed hiked rates and signalled further rate hikes in its upcoming policy meetings. Higher interest rates and US bond yields are pushing the economy towards a recession. We expect the dollar index to remain volatile and could hold its support level of 111.85 in today’s session. On the other hand, the rupee extended its fall amid strong gains in the dollar index. Despite the record GST collections and recent gains in the domestic equity markets the rupee is unable to hold on to its gains. A hawkish US Federal stance and monetary tightening by other global central banks has been pushing the emerging market currencies lower. We expect the rupee to remain volatile in today’s session amid strength in the dollar index but it could hold its support level of 83.35.”-Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities

09:58 (IST) 4 Nov 2022 Gold has support at $1624-1616

“Bullion prices ended lower on Thursday, with gold hitting a six-week low. On the other hand, silver prices rebounded to come off the day’s lows. Sharp gains in the US dollar index and rising treasury yields, along with lower crude oil prices, exerted pressure on the precious metals. On Friday, the US economic calendar will reveal employment figures with the Nonfarm Payrolls October’s report. Investors will be eyeing the unemployment rate and salaries that could flash signals of weakening in the labor market. Gold has support at $1624-1616, while resistance is at $1648-1658. Silver has support at $18.95-18.78, while resistance is at $19.58-19.72. In INR terms gold has support at Rs 50,020-49,850, while resistance is at Rs 50,440, 51,610. Silver has support at Rs 57,680-57,210, while resistance is at Rs 58,780–59,210.”-Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities

09:56 (IST) 4 Nov 2022 JK Lakshmi Cement shares jump nearly 2%

09:54 (IST) 4 Nov 2022 Nifty may see correction, place stop loss below 17900

In the options segment, the coming week data hints that open interest is scattered in call options in 18100-18500 strikes, but on the put side, there’s decent open interest build up at 18000 strike. Going by the data, it seems that 17900-18000 would be seen as key support range for the near term and if this support is breached, then we could see unwinding of positions which could then lead to a short-term corrective phase in index up to 17600-17500. Thus, traders should watch out for this support and place stoploss on existing long positions below the same. On the flipside, 18200 is the immediate resistance which if surpassed, could then result in a continuation of the momentum towards 18400-18500.

09:25 (IST) 4 Nov 2022 Individual stocks will witness sharp movements

“There are two broad trends, one negative and the other positive, in the market now. The negative trend is the rising interest rates globally. The Fed’s message that the terminal rate in this rate hiking cycle would be higher than expected earlier is a negative for equity markets.  Bond yields (10-year US bond yield is at 4.15%) and the dollar index (112.8) are moving up dragging equity markets down. But even in this unfavourable environment, FII flows into India are rising. FIIs have been buyers in the cash market for the sixth straight trading day. This vote of confidence in India is a clear positive. For the near-term the influence of these negative and positive factors will keep the Nifty in a range with no breakouts or breakdowns. However, individual stocks will witness sharp movements responding to the Q2 results. In the present context of high valuations for growth stocks there is value in certain pockets like PSU banks.”- VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services

08:44 (IST) 4 Nov 2022 Strong domestic cues, positive FII flows providing support to Indian equities

“Indian markets stood steady with Nifty managing to stay above 18k zone for the last 2 days, despite weakness in global markets. US Fed’s 75bps rate hike and weak Chinese economic data dented investor’s sentiments globally. Strong domestic cues along with positive FII flows for last few days are providing the much-needed support to Indian equities.”-Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services
