Indian benchmark indices jumped 1.7% on Tuesday and firmly raced up following the long haul of losses last week. The BSE Sensex rose 872 points to 52,469, and the NSE Nifty gained 262 points to 15,610. “Markets were technically in oversold territory and thus witnessed a bounce back, especially in a light market since US markets were closed yesterday. There is an increased perception that by the end of the year, the US Fed will be able to get inflation levels down considerably, which is also helping the markets currently,” said Nishit Master, Portfolio Manager, Axis Securities.
Benchmark indices ended higher for the second consecutive session on June 21 with Nifty finishing above 15,600. The Sensex was up 934.23 points or 1.81% at 52,532.07, and the Nifty was up 288.60 points or 1.88% at 15,638.80. Titan Company, Hindalco Industries, JSW Steel, Coal India and Adani Ports were among the top Nifty gainers. The only losers is Apollo Hospitals. All the sectoral indices ended in the green with IT, metal, oil & gas, power, realty and PSU Bank up 3-6 per cent. BSE Midcap index jumped 2.4 per cent and Smallcap index was up 3 per cent.
Oil prices rose on Tuesday on high summer fuel demand while supplies remain tight because of sanctions on Russian oil after its invasion of Ukraine. Brent crude rose $1.61, or 1.4%, to $115.74 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude for July, which expires later on Tuesday, rose $2.29, or 2.1%, to $111.85. The more-active WTI contract for August was up $2.48 at $110.47 a barrel.
Benchmark indices erased some of the intraday gains but still trading higher with Nifty holding above 15600. The Sensex was up 913.16 points or 1.77% at 52,511.00, and the Nifty was up 279.50 points or 1.82% at 15,629.70.
“Fall in crude oil prices, positive global cues, bottom fishing and technical setup ripe for a bounce are the reasons for the rise in the markets today. 15670-15740 could be a near term resistance for the Nifty. Investors can ride this bounce through trading in oversold stocks and prepare a list of stocks that they would like to offload in this bounce to raise cash. Sell on rise is a good strategy to follow unless we see signs of inflation stabilising and reversing globally which can be an early sign of bottom formation.”

The domestic steel production was at its highest at 113.6 million tonnes in FY22 (up from 96.2 million tonnes in FY21), an increase of 18.1% (y-o-y) on account of the revival in economic activities and low-base effect. During April and May 2022, the production grew by 9.1% to 9.6 million tonnes as compared to the same period of FY22. The robust steel demand outlook is likely to lead to continued high-capacity utilisation for the sector over the medium term. CareEdge Research expects domestic demand for steel to remain robust in near term mainly because of Government’s infrastructure push and increased investments amid an overall rebound in the Indian economy. The recent announcement by Government on imposition of export duty will lead to a de-growth in exports from India for FY22. CareEdge

We believe Tata Steel standalone's 1HFY23 EBITDA is likely to contract by 66% over 1HFY22 driven by lower ASP, lower demand and peak coking coal costs and high base effect. India operations will not benefit from lower iron ore costs or discounted Russian coal. Hence, the cost structure will only benefit from the reduction in coking coal prices that too for 70-75% of requirement as India operations are captive on coking coal for the balance. We cut our FY23E consolidated EBITDA by 22%, driven by 34% reduction in standalone EBITDA offset by 4% increase in TSE EBITDA. The reduction in domestic EBITDA is a combination of a) lower than expected sales volume, b) reduction in ASP and c) higher than estimated coking coal cost. Motilal Oswal Financial Services

“There may be some cautiousness as the finance ministry cautioned the re-emergence of the twin deficit problem in the economy, with higher commodity prices and rising subsidy burden leading to an increase in both fiscal deficit and current account deficit. It is also the first time the government has explicitly talked about the possibility of fiscal slippage in the current fiscal year. On the technical front, immediate support and resistance for Nifty50 is 15,200 and 15,600 levels.

“A distinct trend in the market now is the weakness in the broader market. While Nifty 50 is down 5.6 percent during the last one month, Nifty Mid and Small- cap indices are down 9.25 percent and 12.63 percent respectively during the same period. This trend is likely to continue as long as the market remains weak. The pull back rally will be led by high-quality fundamentally strong large-caps.”
“Meanwhile, the Finance ministry's latest Monthly Economic Review warns about the stress in government's finances caused by the rising food and fertiliser subsidies and revenue forgone from cuts in petrol and diesel taxes. Both fiscal and current account deficits are likely to deteriorate surpassing budget estimates. This macro headwind can turn out to be a headwind for markets too, particularly if crude remains at elevated levels. Investors should seek the safety of fundamentally strong large-caps during this phase of market turbulence.”

“Technically, on intraday charts, the Nifty has formed a double bottom formation which is broadly positive for the near term. The index has also formed a Hammer reversal formation on daily charts, indicating strong possibility of a fresh pullback rally from the current levels. For day traders, 15250 would be the sacrosanct support zone. And if the index succeeds to trade above the same, then the pullback rally is likely to continue in the near future and could move up to 15500-15600 levels. On the flip side, below 15250, the uptrend would be vulnerable and below the same, the index could slip till 15180-15100.”

“A small body of positive candle was formed on the daily chart with minor upper and long lower shadow. Technically, this formation indicate a doji type candle pattern, but not a classical one. But the formation of high wave and doji patterns back to back in the two sessions around the lows of 15200 levels signal chances of an upside bounce in the market.”
“The negative sequence of lower tops and bottoms is intact as per daily timeframe chart and current consolidation indicate an attempt of lower high formation. Hence, any attempt of lack of strength around 15500 levels could possibly bring bears into action. The short term trend of Nifty continues to be volatile with broader range movement. A decisive move above 15500 levels could open an upside bounce in the market. Important support to be watched around 15200 levels.”
