Tech View: Nifty charts hint hurdle at 18,650. What traders should do on Tuesday

The Bank Nifty index is likely to witness consolidation in the range of 43,000-44,000 where the highest amount of open interest is built up on the put and the call side respectively. The index has to break the range on either side for trending moves which may be seen after the key event of the fed policy due on Wednesday. The undertone remains bullish within the range and one should keep a buy-on-dip approach with immediate support seen at the 43,400 level.

Domestic indices pared its early gains despite strength in global peers. Weak Nov Mutual Fund inflow data and downbeat outlook by IT giant HCL tech led to some profit booking in the market. Nifty opened positive but reversed its initial gains to close with loss of 113 points at 18497 levels. Buying was seen in FMCG, Pharma and Banking sector stocks. IT sector saw sharp decline after HCL Tech said that it expects FY23 revenue growth to be at the lower end of its 13.5%-14.5% guidance due to furloughs and drop in spending in some sectors. Markets seems to be consolidating for last few sessions as participants are lightning their position ahead of crucial US Fed meeting next week. US PPI data to be released later on Friday as well as US CPI data on 13th Dec – would be keenly watched as they would influence the Fed’s interest rate decision. Further, FIIs have remained net sellers (Rs.5500crs) in December so far (baring one positive day) and added to the overall pressure in the market. Nifty has corrected by nearly 400 points (2%) after making a new high of 18,888 last week. We expect the consolidative mode to continue till key central banks like US Fed, ECB, BoE outcome next week. We expect weakness in tech stocks to continue on account of weak growth outlook, FMCG stocks are expected to do well on the back of fall in commodity prices and improving demand.

A tepid start-off in the domestic market was flattened due to a recovery in banking, metals, and oil & gas, while continued selling in IT stocks weighed on the indices. Key inflation numbers are expected to soften from the previous month, owing to a moderation in food prices. Extending the stock market route, the global markets remained fragile as rate decisions by major central banks took centre stage.

Morgan Stanley to slash 2022 banker bonuses in Asia by up to half – sources

Morgan Stanley plans to slash investment bankers’ annual bonuses by as much as 50% in Asia, said two people with direct knowledge of the matter, as the Wall Street firm reins in costs to tackle tough market conditions that have hit its revenue.

The scale of the cuts in Asia could be replicated in Morgan Stanley’s U.S. and European operations, and would be in contrast with 2021 when its top bankers earned up to 20% more in bonuses globally, said the sources.

Bonus payout discussions are currently underway at Morgan Stanley globally, they said.

A third person with knowledge of the matter said the bonus cuts in Asia for the bank are expected to be around 30% on average for all its investment banking teams and markets.

Power demand growth to boost Coal India’s spot auctions, chairman says

Coal India will increase spot auctions of the fuel in the coming months, the chairman of the world’s biggest coal miner said on Monday, as the company’s rising output has left them with enough fuel to meet increasing demand from non-utility power plants.

An increase in spot auction sales, which offer higher margins than its mainstay long-term contracts, will help Coal India to build off its record profits from this year and maintain its rising share price, which has climbed 25% since April and outpaced a 5.9% rise in the broader Nifty index .

“I think in the first half, we have done a little over 30 million tonnes. In the next half, our e-auction sales may go up to 40 million tonnes,” Chairman Pramod Agrawal told Reuters in an interview at the company’s headquarters.

The state-run miner, which accounts for 80% of the country’s output of the fuel, typically supplies the bulk of its output to utilities as a part of long-term contracts.

Uniparts India makes a tepid D-st debut, lists at marginal discount

Uniparts India made a muted debut on Monday, listing at Rs 575 on BSE, a discount of 0.35% over its issue price of Rs 577 apiece.

U.S. equities ended mixed in a volatile trading session. The S&P 500 was off 0.1%, Dow Jones fell 0.6%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index gained 0.1%. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury fell to 3.525%, from 3.699% Wednesday. US consumer spending increased by 0.8% in October, the strongest gain since June. Households spent more on essentials such as rent and food, and new vehicles. Adjusted for inflation, spending rose 0.5%, the biggest increase since January. But the personal-saving rate, hit its lowest level since 2005, a sign that rising prices are squeezing household budgets. Domestic equities closed higher with Nifty gaining 0.3%, while broader markets outperformed the main indices as Nifty Mid Cap and Nifty Small Cap rose 0.9% and 0.4% respectively. Most sectoral indices ended in green. Nifty IT gained the most at 2.4% followed by Nifty PSU Bank and Nifty Media which were up ~2.1% each. Nifty FMCG (-0.4%) and Nifty Oil & Gas (-0.6%) were the major laggards. The unemployment rate in India surged to 8% in Nov ‘22 from 7.7% in Oct ‘22 on account of a significant increase in unemployment in urban India (7.21% in Oct ‘22 to 8.96% in Nov ‘22). However, unemployment rate in rural India fell to 7.55% compared to 8.04% last month. Moreover, RBI’s rate-panel is expected to increase repo rates by 25-35bps in its meeting from 5-7 Dec ‘22. The recent labour data and relatively lower inflation print will reinforce expectations for a smaller 50 bps Fed rate hike on Dec. 14 and perhaps signal a further slowing in the pace of rate increases early next year. The run-up to the exercise for the Budget is building up with job creation and a step-up in government capex, being the primary focus. We expect a recovery in the coming quarters led by softening of commodity prices and monetary easing by central banks which is likely to boost demand going ahead. The movement of rupee, FII flow and crude oil prices will dictate trend in the near term, while volatility is likely to remain due to endless Russia-Ukraine crisis and new COVID cases in China. The markets are likely to see gap up opening; SGX nifty is up 100 points compared to previous spot Nifty closing. Asian Markets are trading mixed; Nikkei is down 1.9% while Heng Seng is up 0.23%.
