Research and broking firm Motilal Oswal has maintained a buy on Reliance Industries with a target of Rs 1,111 per share. It is of the view that poor utilization in Latin America and Africa would keep gross refining margins (GRMs) strong and expects strong GRMs over next 2-3 years which is positive for the company. The house feels that RIL should clock GRMs of USD 11-12/bbl in FY19-20.

Macquarie has a neutral view on State Bank of India with a target of Rs 300 and sees near-term slippages high. It expects margins to improve going forward.

MARKET WRAP UP The Sensex and Nifty jumped over one per cent on Friday and were headed for their second session of gains, led by energy stocks, including Reliance Industries Ltd, as oil prices extended their rally.

US stocks closed at record highs on Thursday as surging oil prices and strong earnings buoyed investor sentiment, giving a boost to Asian markets. Dealers said widening of positions by participants ahead of key economic data —— industrial production (IIP) for June and consumer price index (CPI) for July —— to be released after market closing today also added to the upbeat investor sentiment. At 3.05 pm, the Sensex was up 315.38 points or 1.13 per cent at 28,174.98 while the NSE Nifty was up 85.7 points or 1.00 per cent at 8,677.85.

The Sensex was down 11 per cent in September 2008, 5.4 per cent in 2018 and dropped by 2.1 per cent in the same month in 2011, data from AceEquity shows. Indian markets remained in a bear grip in August and the trend is unlikely to shift towards the bulls with no big triggers expected in September, say experts. The month of September is off to a muted start, with both the Sensex and the Nifty trading below crucial support levels. The Sensex broke below 37,000 and the Nifty 11,000. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the index has given flat to negative returns in September in six of the last 11 years. The index saw a drop of more than 11 percent in September 2008, followed by 2018 when it slipped 5.4 percent, and in 2011 it dropped by 2.1 percent, data from AceEquity shows. Apart from two tall towers witnessed in 2009 and 2010, the gains in September in the 11-year period have not been that inspiring. The index rallied 10.2 percent in 2010, followed by 10.13 pe
