Marketbuzz Podcast with Hormaz Fatakia: Nifty at precarious levels amidst earnings heavy session
Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast, here are top developments ahead of the trading session of October 18
-Until the start of this week, there was a struggle for the Nifty to cross the upper end of this 500-point range of 24,700 - 25,250 that it found itself in. As the week draws to a close on Friday, the Nifty bulls are now struggling to defend the lower end of this range, having closed at the lows it had made on September 9.
-The Nifty fell for the third day in a row during its weekly options expiry on Thursday and has now declined in four out of the last five trading sessions. With Thursday's drop, the October 7 low of 24,694 now comes into the picture again and defending that will be the first task for the bulls when the markets open on Friday.
- The IT run-up will be tested on Friday after Infosys' results, which did not have any positive surprises either. Besides Infosys, shares of Wipro, LTIMindtree, Polycab, Tata Chemicals and others will also be reacting to their quarterly results that were reported after market hours on Thursday.
-Foreign institutions were heavy sellers in the cash market on Thursday and their selling intensity also picked up after tapering off for a few sessions.

Treasuries steadied after heavy selling on Thursday, when new signs of vigor in the US economy led traders to trim expectations for rate cuts.Shares in Japan climbed, helped along by a weaker yen. Those in China fluctuated while stocks in Australia fell. TSMC jumped as much as 6.3% in opening trade, following a sharp rally Thursday for its US-listed shares driven by strong earnings and an upward revision of its 2024 revenue target.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of October 11
-On a day when every single Indian mourned the demise of Tata Sons' Chairman Emeritus Ratan Tata, Dalal Street only found it appropriate to remain in snooze mode and not have any big fluctuations on the weekly options expiry of the Nifty 50 contracts. The Nifty traded in a 160-point range on Thursday but could not surpass Wednesday's high of 25,234. It closed right at the mark of 25,000.
-All eyes for Friday's trading session will be on the reaction that Wall Street has to the CPI data for September, which could potentially determine what will the Fed do in its November policy, after a very strong non-farm payrolls data has completely taken a 50 basis points rate cut off the table.
-On the domestic front, TCS will react to its quarterly results, which were a miss on the margin front. Revenues were in-line with expectations but most other parameters were also a marginal miss. Stocks like Anand Rathi Wealth, IREDA and Tata Elxsi will also be reacting to their quarterly results.
-Other stocks to track: Den Networks, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders, Oberoi Realty, Krsnaa Diagnostics, Bandhan Bank, Uno Minda
-Shares rose in Asia, sidestepping losses on Wall Street following hotter-than-expected core inflation that heightened the focus on the Federal Reserve’s next move. Japanese and South Korean stocks opened higher while those in Australia slipped. US equity futures also edged higher, after the S&P 500 fell 0.2% and the Nasdaq 100 dropped 0.1% Thursday.
-US data released Thursday underscored the challenge facing the Fed. Underlying US inflation rose more than forecast in September in a sign of stalling progress in the fight to bring prices to target. Separate data showed applications for US unemployment benefits rose last week to the highest in over a year.
-In commodities, oil edged lower, trimming some of its gains from Thursday when West Texas Intermediate futures climbed 3.6% as traders awaited Israel’s response to Iran’s missile attack.
-GIF TNifty was lower this morning trading at discount of nearly 20 pts from Nifty Futures Thursday close, indicating a start in the red for the Indian market.

-Ratan Tata, the former chairman of the diversified Tata Group and a towering figure in Indian business, passed away at the age of 86 last night.

The state of Maharashtra has announced one day of state mourning.
-The Nifty needed follow-up buying post Tuesday's rebound to confirm that a bottom has indeed been made for now. However, that was not to be. For a better part of Wednesday's trading session, the Nifty continued to move higher, carrying on from where it left off on Tuesday, but a swift reversal in the second half not only took the Nifty down from the day's high, but also end the session on a negative note. Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank have been leading the recent sell-off on the index as well. Adding to their underperformance was a sell-off in index FMCG names. ITC, Nestle India, Britannia, most of these names saw selling pressure over worries of them reporting weak results.
-Thursday will be a very important trading session for the markets. Nifty will have its weekly options expiry, earnings season begins with TCS reporting results, the US will report its CPI figures for the month of September and other broader market names like Tata Elxsi and IREDA will also be reporting results.

Alphabet Inc. fell 1.5% on news the US is weighing a Google breakup in a historic big-tech antitrust case.
-US consumer price data to be released later Thursday is expected to show inflation further moderating, supporting the Fed’s anticipated easing in the coming months.

-The Nifty 50 on Friday did huff and puff its way to somehow close above 25,000, it could not avoid registering its worst week of 2024, a week that saw ₹17 lakh crore erosion in the overall market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies. The trio of HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Reliance Industries contributed to over 40% of the sell-off seen on the Nifty during Friday's session, although FMCG stocks were the ones that triggered the move downwards during the final trading day of the week.
-The upcoming week promises no respite either. The tensions between Iran and Israel continue to remain an overhang as there has been no positive development on that front. This will also have an impact on the Reserve Bank of India's policy decision on Wednesday.
-While a majority of CNBC-TV18's Citizen's MPC believes that the RBI should not cut rates, they believe that there should be a change in the central bank's stance to "neutral."
-Earnings season begins in the second half of the upcoming week with TCS kickstarting proceedings on Thursday, October 10, along with other broader market names like Tata Elxsi, IREDA and others.

-Overnight, in the US, revised data showed the US economy in better shape than initially expected, spurred mainly by bigger consumer-driven growth fueled by robust incomes.

-It seems the Nifty 50 is currently in a not-ready-to-go-down mode. The most minor dip gets bought into swiftly and the index continues to scale new peaks. Wednesday's session was no different and 26,032 is now the new record high for the Nifty and it remains to be seen for how long will that stay.
-It was a surge in the index heavyweights in the final few minutes of the trading session that took the Nifty to a new peak. HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, all of them saw a spurt during the final half hour, propelling the index higher. The monthly expiry of the Nifty Bank also had a role to play.

-In commodities, oil was steady after plunging in the previous trading session. West Texas Intermediate, the US oil price, slipped more than 2% on Wednesday to settle below $70 a barrel.

-The Nifty 50 crossed the 26,000 mark on September 24. However, technical factors, along with the Nifty Financial Services expiry, took the index back to levels at which it closed on Monday. Nonetheless, 26,011 becomes the new record high for the Nifty, which has now gained over 1,000 points in the last nine trading sessions, starting September 11.
-While the focus remained on the Nifty, there was plenty of stock-specific activity within the broader markets with the Midcap index clinging on to some gains but the smallcap index ended with losses of over half a percent. Stocks like AstraZeneca and IEX moved on their respective newsflow, while names like SH Kelkar and Arvind Smartspaces surged on positive brokerage commentary.

-With the Nifty having moved the way it has, with domestic triggers still a week away from emerging and a landmark and a major event out of the way, the question now emerges whether it will be prudent to book profits at current levels and then wait for earnings to shape up starting the second week of October. By next week, companies will already begin sharing their quarterly business updates and that becomes the next major trigger for the markets.
