Image

CLSA downgraded Glenmark rating to sell from buy and slashed price target by 32 percent to Rs 500 from Rs 740 after cutting FY20-21 EPS estimates by 22-27 percent.

Gold set for first monthly gain in four on Trump tariff threat, Fed cut hopes

Image
Gold prices rose on Friday, heading towards their first monthly gain since January on increased safe-haven demand, after U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to levy tariffs on all Mexican imports, ratcheting up concerns of a global economic slowdown. The new threat of tariffs on Mexico, coupled with a string of soggy economic data from the United States this month and the long-drawn Sino-U.S. trade war, also translated into increased bets that the U.S. Federal Reserve could cut interest rates this year. Spot gold was up 0.2% at $1,290.68 per ounce at 0322 GMT. It has risen about 0.6% so far this month. The metal is also on track for a second consecutive weekly gain, up about 0.4% over the week. U.S. gold futures rose 0.3% to $1,290.50 an ounce. An infuriated Trump on Thursday vowed to impose a tariff on all goods coming from Mexico starting at 5% and ratcheting higher until the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States ceases.

Amid consumption slowdown, Colgate-Palmolive needs a brush of love

Image
Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd’s shares have declined by 14% so far this calendar year. On the other hand, the Nifty 200 index has increased by 7.4%. In general, sentiments for consumer stocks haven’t been the best thanks to the demand slowdown firms are experiencing. In particular for Colgate-Palmolive, one of the worries has been the slow erosion in its toothpaste market share over the years. On that front, the company has told analysts after its March quarter results were published that its toothpaste volume market share has stabilized at about 52.5%.  The key positive is that market share has now begun to stabilize over the half-year ended March 2019, wrote analysts from HDFC Securities Institutional Research in a report on 28 May. Needless to say, hereon, investors will watch improvement in the measure closely. Meanwhile, the company, famous for its Colgate brand of toothpastes and other oral care products, coughed up somewhat lacklustre numbers for the ...

Image
Given the recent slowdown in consumption sectors and the correction witnessed in the stocks, it provides a good entry point for the investors to play India’s consumption story. At current levels, Nifty is trading at peak valuations and at a significant premium to other emerging markets. Hence, corporate earnings' revival and maintaining fiscal prudence is essential for sustenance of such premium, said Jayant Manglik, President - Retail Distribution, Religare Broking in an interview to Moneycontrol's Sunil Shankar Matkar.

Expect Nifty to hit 12,400 in near term, albeit June may be volatile

Image
Immediate support for the index is seen at 11,750 with targets placed at 12,100-12,400. A breach of 11,750 can witness some selling pressure but we expect the same to be bought into. May series witnessed extreme volatility. The index traded in the range of 11,000-12,000 as we witnessed the general elections along with global headwinds. Volatility index tested the 30-mark before collapsing back to normal range. Banking led the momentum with private banks gaining the most. Select PSU banks and financials also added to the rally. Auto and metals remained laggards failing to contribute to the momentum. We enter the June series with a positive bias. Nifty continues to trade with a positive tone and is expected to test 12,400 in the near term. June is expected to witness volatility as we are at an inflection point for the markets. Going ahead, one can expect a 10-15 percent movement on either side. We expect a positive bias, although confirmation of the same is ...

Banking & Financials may outperform in June series; 8 stocks which saw long rollover

Image
Looking at the overall derivatives activity, we are expecting continuation in ongoing optimism towards 12300 – 12500 in coming weeks. May series started with a good amount of long positions, but unlike the previous five series, Nifty breached the previous expiry month’s low and corrected in the first fortnight of the series. The fall was on the back of a long unwinding and we didn’t see any noticeable shorts. However, the index again started rebounding in the second half of the series. The Nifty50 moved in a broader range of 933 points in May series and touched the magical number of 12,000 on May 23. However, the index ended the series a tad below the 12000 mark, with a gain of 2.61 percent over the April expiry close. The month gone-by was very volatile for the Indian market as both Bulls and Bears have fought for their dominance. The volatility index (India VIX) also rallied to 30 levels due to uncertainties related to the outcome of general elections. T...

Podcast | Stock picks of the day: IT index showing signs of strength; TCS top buy

Image
The Nifty is likely to realize a direction only if the all-time high mark of 12,041 or the low of 11,640 are broken on a closing basis. The market witnessed its first fall on May 29 after the election verdict, but we saw smart gains on May 30. However. Nothing changes structurally for the indices as the trend continues to remain solid. Going forward, the election’s verdict day is an important reference point. The Nifty is likely to realize a direction only if the all-time high mark of 12,041 or the low of 11,640 are broken on a closing basis. Till then, the market will continue to oscillate in a 400 points trading range. The Nifty Midcap-100 index witnessed a Golden Crossover on the daily chart, an event that indicates that the broader indices are going to play catch-up in the coming weeks. A close above the 18,100 zone would further confirm the upswing as the index would break past the falling channel pattern on the weekly chart. The IT index is also sh...

Indian Oil to provide fuel on credit to Punjab farmers

Image
In a first of its kind, oil major Indian Oil Corp Ltd on Wednesday signed a MoU with Punjab to set up 15 petrol pumps to provide fuel to farmers on credit that will be repaid after the harvesting of crops. For this, the Cooperation Department inked a pact with Indian Oil in the presence of Cooperation Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa and Additional Chief Secretary Viswajeet Khanna. Under the pact, Indian Oil would open its retail outlets on vacant plots of the cooperative sector institutions. Randhawa said this initiative would provide direct benefit to the farmers. The empty spaces of Markfed, Milkfed, Sugarfed and the rural cooperative societies would see the opening of the petrol pumps. This would not only result in the appropriate usage of the land but also see the improvement of the financial situation of the cooperative institutions, thereby generating employment avenues. The Minister said this initiative would lead to the supply of diesel and pe...

Gold eases as firm dollar, bond rally offset global slowdown worries

Image
Gold prices inched down on Thursday as bonds rallied and the dollar hovered near a two-year high, negating the support from an increasingly bitter Sino-U.S. trade dispute that rekindled doubts about global economic growth. Spot gold was down 0.1% at $1,277.71 per ounce, as of 0312 GMT. U.S. gold futures edged 0.3% lower to $1,276.70 an ounce. "Investors look like they prefer U.S Treasuries as a safe haven for now, evident by the inverted U.S yield curve," Howie Lee, an economist at OCBC Bank, said. "A strong dollar is also likely impeding big players such as China and India from consuming too much (of gold)." The dollar held steady against its key rivals on Thursday as escalating Sino-U.S. trade tensions forced investors into the shelter of safe-haven assets, including government bonds. Against a basket of six major currencies, the dollar was steady at 98.123, hovering within the reach of a two-year high of 98.371 hit a week ago. The inde...
