NBFCs Get a Boost from RBI Policy Shift India's non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) are set to benefit from RBI's decision to lower risk-weights on bank lending to NBFCs from 125% to 100% starting April 1. This makes funding cheaper and more accessible, easing liquidity constraints that had slowed bank lending to NBFCs to 6.7% in Dec 2024 (half the previous year's rate). Key beneficiaries include M&M Financial and Cholamandalam Investment, which rely on banks for nearly 50% of their borrowings. Meanwhile, Bajaj Finance and Shriram Finance (less dependent on banks) may see a smaller impact. However, asset quality remains a concern. M&M Financial's bad loans rose to 2% in Q3FY25, pushing its stock down 3% over the past year, while Cholamandalam, with stronger financials (21.6% RoE), saw its stock rise 30%. Investors remain cautious—Cholamandalam trades at 3.9x FY26 book value, while M&M Financial lags at 1.6x. The big question: Will NBFCs pass on the cost benefits to customers, and will this policy shift be enough to revive growth? UltraTech Cement's C&W Entry Rattles the Market UltraTech Cement's ₹1,800 crore foray into the cables & wires (C&W) industry has triggered sharp stock declines in Polycab, KEI, Havells, RR Kabel, and Finolex Cables (5-20%). The move draws parallels with Grasim's entry into paints, which eroded valuations of incumbents. Unlike paints (an oligopoly), C&W is fragmented, making market share gains difficult. UltraTech lacks a strong distribution network, adding to execution challenges. With existing players already expanding capacity, overcapacity risks loom. If UltraTech pursues aggressive pricing, margins could suffer. Analysts estimate UltraTech could capture 5-7% of the market by FY29 (projected industry size: ₹1.3 trillion). Interestingly, UltraTech's own stock fell 5%, as investors question its capital allocation strategy—cement or diversification? Amazon Unveils First Quantum Computing Chip, Ocelot Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched Ocelot, its first quantum computing chip, aimed at reducing error rates by 90%. This marks a key step toward practical quantum computing, a field dominated by Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. Microsoft recently claimed a breakthrough in quantum matter, while Google's Willow chip tackled error correction in December. Amazon's approach mirrors Google's focus on superconducting quantum circuits, while Microsoft takes a different route. Ocelot is still a prototype, not a full system. While quantum computers promise massive computational power for applications like drug discovery and cybersecurity, commercial viability remains years—if not a decade—away. Analysts call this an advancement, not a breakthrough, but note that Amazon's new method for error correction could help it catch up. Beyond hardware, Amazon is also expanding its quantum services, including its Braket cloud platform and business advisory programs. The road to quantum supremacy remains long, but Amazon is moving closer. Lodha Family Feud Intensifies Over Brand Name Manju Lodha, matriarch of the Lodha real estate empire, has intervened in the legal battle between brothers Abhishek and Abhinandan Lodha, stating that neither can claim rights over the other's business. The dispute stems from a 2017 family agreement that split the empire. Abhishek leads Macrotech Developers (₹1.19 trillion market cap), while Abhinandan launched The House of Abhinandan Lodha after exiting the family business in 2015. Macrotech took legal action in January to prevent Abhinandan from using the Lodha name, citing brand confusion. With the next Bombay High Court hearing on March 21, the battle over legacy and business identity continues.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Thursday, December 26, 2024. This is Nelson John, let's get started.Honda and Nissan are set to merge by mid-2025, along with Mitsubishi, creating the world's third-largest auto group after Toyota and Volkswagen. The new entity, valued at $50 billion, is expected to generate $191 billion in revenue and sell over 8 million cars annually. The merger is driven by challenges in China, where both brands are losing market share, and the need to accelerate EV development. The merger promises cost savings, shared resources, and a stronger push into electrification, though sceptics question its potential success, citing previous failed auto tie-ups. N Madhavan explains what the whole merger is about. In India, where Honda and Nissan hold marginal market shares of 1.4% and less than 1%, the impact may involve shared platforms and streamlined operations, but specifics on their manufacturing facilities remain unclear.N Srinivasan, CEO and MD of India Cements, along with other board members, resigned yesterday, following UltraTech Cement's acquisition of a 32.72% stake in the company. The Aditya Birla Group-owned UltraTech, now the majority shareholder, has made India Cements its subsidiary. The resignations, including those of Srinivasan's family members Rupa Gurunath and Chitra Srinivasan, as well as V.M. Mohan, marks the end of the existing promoters' control over the South-based cement maker. India's leading banks and financial institutions are embracing AI to improve services, cybersecurity, and efficiency. SBI, BoB, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, and Poonawalla Fincorp are developing in-house AI capabilities, focusing on proprietary models to leverage sensitive data securely. SBI is seeking patents for its AI/ML innovations, avoiding reliance on Big Tech's public models. BoB is extending AI and Generative AI across its operations. HDFC Bank uses AI for fraud prevention, customer service, and pre-approved offers while exploring private Large Language Models. Axis Bank is piloting AI-driven solutions for fraud detection in international payments. Experts see this as a shift from banks relying on tech firms to developing their own AI intellectual property. Shouvik Das and Shayan Ghosh report on how Indian lenders are taking AI more seriously than ever. A string of blockbuster films, including Pushpa 2: The Rule, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, and Mufasa: The Lion King, has rejuvenated shopping malls and retailers in late 2024, following a sluggish start to the year. Mall operators report a high single-digit growth in sales for the December quarter, fueled by these hits and festive season demand. Lata Jha spoke to industry insiders who highlighted that, footfalls, which had dropped earlier in the year, doubled in this period, driven by cinema releases and festive shopping. Multiplexes, a key driver of mall traffic, spurred consumption across categories like apparel, food, and jewellery. However, inflation and reduced government spending during elections had earlier cooled retail demand.As 2024 wraps up, it's clear that some of the year's biggest tech innovations fell short of their lofty promises. Generative AI faced mounting skepticism over its high costs, errors, and limited real-world adoption. India's Smart Cities Mission struggled to deliver on its promise of true urban transformation. The metaverse failed to live up to its hype amid technical and economic challenges. Web3 and NFTs lost their early momentum due to regulatory hurdles and market volatility. Even quantum computing, while advancing, remains far from everyday application. Leslie D'Monte takes a close look at these tech letdowns from the year gone by. As we head into 2025, wealth managers are zeroing in on sectors poised to thrive and those better avoided. Financial services stocks stand out as a top pick, with reasonable valuations and the potential for monetary stimulus to revive credit growth and stabilize margins. In contrast, metals face persistent challenges like sluggish global growth and overcapacity in China, making them a sector to steer clear of. Here's what the experts recommend for the year ahead. Dipti Sharma writes on the top sectors to pick and avoid in the coming year. 

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Wednesday, October 23, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started.A strong wave of selloffs engulfed the Indian stock market on Tuesday, dragging the Sensex and Nifty down by more than one per cent each.The International Monetary Fund kept its global growth forecast for 2024 and 2025 unchanged at 3.2 per cent. It also maintained its India growth projections at 7 per cent for FY25 and 6.5 per cent for FY26 in its October 2024 World Economic Outlook. While global growth is stable, there are changes beneath the surface, IMF said. The US economy saw an upgrade, but European countries faced downgrades. India and Russia boosted growth projections for emerging markets, driven by strong demand for technology. The Vizhinjam International Transhipment Deepwater Multipurpose Seaport near Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala has finally kicked off operations after numerous delays. Managed by Adani Ports and Logistics, this critical development positions it as India's deepest natural port and its sole container shipment hub. However, a significant hiccup remains—the port's poor road connectivity, with improvements not expected for another 12 to 18 months. Kerala faces a broader economic crunch, battling slow growth and steep debt as expenditures overshadow revenues. Demographic shifts, including an ageing population and evolving migration patterns, have obstructed remittance flows. N Madhavan delves deep into Kerala's economic issues and God's own country's efforts to revive its economy. IPOs aren't only for the big boys: smaller startups are also heading to the public markets.  Venture capital investors are nudging their early- to mid-stage portfolio companies towards IPOs amid a bullish stock market.  Priyamvada C and Mansi Verma write that startups such as IntrCity, BHive, and Leverage Edu P are gearing up for listings soon. India's more lenient IPO requirements compared to the US are encouraging such moves, they add. Another reason investors are pushing for this move is that many funds are now reaching the end of their life cycles and have to return money to their limited partners. Ambuja Cement has bought more than 46 percent of Orient Cement, marking yet another landmark deal for the Adani-owned cement company. This is the Adani Group's fourth major transaction to bolster Ambuja's prowess in less than a year. Nehal Chaliawala writes that this acquisition marks the latest round in the cement war between Ultratech and Ambuja. Small players continue to be either bought or squeezed out as the two giants look at consolidating a huge chunk of the industry. Did you know that Noida is an acronym? It stands for New Okhla Industrial Development Authority. Now, there's a new one on the way – the Uttar Pradesh government has greenlit the development of New Noida near Greater Noida. This new city, planned over 15 years in the Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad region, will unfold in four phases, with the first set to be ready in four years. It's expected to accommodate 600,000 residents and include a mix of industrial hubs, residential areas, commercial spaces and healthcare facilities. Notably, the city plans also feature specialised industrial hubs such as a 'Korean City', a 'Japanese City', and an ‘Olympic City'.

 Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Monday, July 29, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started:Some massive consolidation happened in the cements segment yesterday: UltraTech Cement is buying a 32.72% stake for nearly 4,000 crore rupees, and making an offer for 26% more, taking the deal to nearly 9,000 crore rupees. Anirudh Laskar reports that if things go as planned, UltraTech will own over 81% of India Cements. Meanwhile, Adani-owned Ambuja Cement is also increasing its production capacity to compete. The Reserve Bank of India reported that bad loans in banks are expected to decrease to 2.5 percent by FY25 under normal stress conditions. Shayan Ghosh writes that the report highlighted improvements in the banking sector's health, with a record low bad loan ratio of 2.8 percent last year. Public banks lead in bad loan ratio, but the overall situation is improving due to fewer new bad loans and increased write-offs. Personal loans are a concern, and the RBI is closely monitoring the situation.The 2024-25 budget introduces tax changes to benefit those involved in international transactions. It lowers the long-term capital gains tax for investing in foreign stocks and eases the process for remitting money overseas, among other provisions. Jash Kriplani writes that these changes aim to simplify tax calculations and make international investments more attractive for Indian investors.Softbank Investment Advisors, a Japanese tech-focused investment firm, is expecting significant returns from its investments in the Indian market as several of its portfolio companies prepare to go public this year. Sneha Shah and Ranjani Raghavan write that Ola Electric Mobility, Firstcry, and Unicommerce are among the companies planning to go public. Softbank's India portfolio has nearly peaked to 14 billion dollars, and the firm has made over 5.5 billion dollars in exits from its India portfolio. Softbank is anticipating a wave of tech IPOs in India, and its other potential IPO investments include Flipkart, OfBusiness, Lenskart, and Oyo.Artificial intelligence was tech's next big thing. Billions of dollars have been poured into it by every investor and big tech company. But where are the results? We were told that AI would change everything — but it's shown little utility so far.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the important updates ahead of the trading session of June 28 -It's the end of the week, month and half the year today. India has emerged as the best performing market this week, pushing it up on the monthly chart. It's been a super strong week so far for largecaps, Nifty, Bank Nifty gaining more than 2%. In a relative sense, Midcaps, smallcaps and SMEs have taken a backseat. FIIs, meanwhile, are  positioning in index futures now at an extreme. -No level has proven to be a resistance for the Nifty 50. The index just posted its best F&O series since December last year. The Nifty is up 2.3% for the week and is on course to register its second-best week of 2024. -The talks around India Cements dominated the market on Thursday as Billionaire investor Radhakishan Damani and his associates sold 23% equity in India Cements for nearly ₹1,900 crore. The country's leading cement maker UltraTech acquired the entire block, which is considered to be a bid to expand its presence in the southern market. -Stocks to track: Reliance Industries, Polycab, Samhi Hotels, HCLTech, JSW Infra, RBL Bank, AU Small Finance Bank, Unichem Labs, Ambuja Cements, Raymond -This morning, GIFT Nifty was trading with a premium of 90 points from Nifty Futures' Thursday close, indicating a gap-up start for the Indian market. -India is preparing itself for the inclusion of the nation's government bonds into JPMorgan Chase & Co. emerging markets index on Friday, opening up a $1.3 trillion market to a broader range of investors. -Equities in Asia followed gains in US stocks ahead of the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge due Friday.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Tuesday, April 23, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started:The Indian equity markets bounced back on Monday. Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty both rose by about 0.8 percent. The country's largest conglomerate, Reliance Industries, filed its earnings report yesterday. While profits were down quarter-on-quarter, overall profit increased 4 percent in FY24, as compared to the previous financial year. The oil and chemicals giant reported a dividend of 10 rupees per share. Reliance Retail and Jio also reported their earnings yesterday, recording steady growth. Since the results were declared after the market closed, RIL's stock didn't record any significant change owing to the results.Let's move to another oil conglomerate, this time from across the Arabian Sea: I'm talking about Aramco, Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil refining company. Aramco's venture capital arm is interested in the Indian startup sector, and is willing to bet on it. Sneha Shah reports that this arm, named Prosperity7 Ventures, is looking to set aside around two to three hundred million dollars to invest in early-stage Indian startups. It plans on spreading that amount across nearly two dozen companies, Sneha writes. Prosperity7 has a portfolio worth about 3 billion dollars worldwide, and wants India to be the home for its next set of investments.You can't talk about conglomerates without talking about the Adani Group. Last year, the group bought a majority stake in infrastructure behemoth Ambuja Cements, and has slowly increased its share in the company. But the plan doesn't stop there, writes Anirudh Laskar: Ambuja is planning a series of acquisitions to overtake Ultratech as the country's number 1 cement company. A capital expenditure of over 9 billion dollars is in the works, Anirudh reports. This would take Ambuja's annual production capacity to at least 180 million tonnes, from about 80 million tonnes now. But Ultratech too has plans to add to its  current capacity of 151.6 million tonnes a year. The Adani group has lots to catch up, at least in the cement sector.Metro cities are full of e-commerce deliveries constantly in action: vans, scooters, and even trucks fulfilling orders round the clock. But e-commerce hasn't penetrated as much into India's hinterlands. That is now changing, writes Priyamvada C. E-retailers like Rozana and Floryo are targeting customers in tier 2 cities and beyond, where customers are increasingly ready to pay more for products but unwilling to compromise on quality. These e-tailers are also attracting enough money from investors to become viable businesses, Priyamvada writes. She also spoke to executives from venture capital funds to assess the scope of startups that operate primarily in such markets.Election campaigns are in full flow. In most corners of the country, voters will be choosing between national or state parties. But very rarely will there be a viable independent candidate. Barmer, a desert-laden district in Rajasthan, might just have that. Sayantan Bera profiles Ravindra Singh Bhati, an independent candidate fighting for the seat of Barmer. He seems to be incredibly popular, and at 26, is one of the youngest candidates across the country. Bhati's popularity seems to be credited to his social media presence. On instagram, he has more followers than Barmer has eligible voters. Sayantan writes about how Bhati's campaign is developing, how caste politics are in play again, and asks the crucial question: will this show and dance translate to actual votes come elections?We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

Hello and welcome back to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the important cues ahead of the trading session of April 3 -Asia-Pacific stocks declined this morning after a mixed session, with markets watching for moves in electric vehicle makers. It's because Tesla's first-quarter vehicle deliveries dropped 8.5% from a year ago, sending shares of the US EV maker down 5%.  -In the US  overnight, Dow Jones fell for a second day as bond yields rose and expectations that the Fed would cut interest rates in June fell.

The Nasdaq Composite shed 0.95%. -Taiwan was hit by a powerful earthquake early today. The Taiwan Weighted Index shed 0.8%.

After a swift recovery from the recent swing low of March 20, the Nifty seems to have taken a pause. It traded in a 100-point range yesterday but managed to respect levels both on the upside and the downside.  -The Nifty Bank also remained in consolidation mode with heavyweight banks on either side of the fence -Stocks to watch: UltraTech Cement, JSW Energy Board, Zee Entertainment, Anupam Rasayan, Dhanlaxmi Bank, Hindustan Zinc, NALCO, Karur Vysya Bank, HCLTech, Shriram Properties  -Gift Nifty suggests a start in the red for benchmarks Sensex and Nifty.

Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — are likely to make a gap-down opening in the trading session of October 19, after weakness in IT and financials kept the markets under pressure in the previous session. The domestic market is tracking a selloff in global stocks as worries of escalating tensions in the Middle East triggered volatility in oil prices. India's GIFT Nifty was down 0.11% at 19,572.50 as of 8:07 am. The Nifty 50 closed 0.71% lower on October 18 at 19,671.10. All three major Wall Street indexes lost over 1% after a call for oil embargo on Israel by Iran triggered a spike in crude prices on fears of a spillover of the Israel-Hamas clashes into a wider conflict. Asian markets declined, with the MSCI Asia ex-Japan index falling over 1%. Brent crude futures rose to an intraday high of $93 per barrel on Wednesday, their highest since the beginning of the Middle East conflict. Back home, Wipro, LTIMindtree, IndusInd and Bajaj Auto were among the stocks that reported earnings for the quarter ended September 30, and therefore the stocks are likely to react. Meanwhile, HUL, ITC, Nestle and UltraTech, among others, will post their quarterly results later in the day. Tune in to the podcast for more cues

0:00 -- Intro.1:26 -- Start of interview.2:01 -- Beatriz' "origin story". She was born in Cuba, grew up in NY and Miami. She was part of a NSF pilot program in Miami to "raise the next generation of scientists," starting in middle school. She learned to program computers in high school, and from there she got into Princeton where she studied computer science. She then went on to Caltech to continue her CS graduate studies. Her first job after grad school was with HP. She later founded a startup called Momenta Computers ("think of it as an iPad but in the 1990s"). She transitioned to Oracle, where she reported directly to Larry Ellison and was responsible for Oracle's open systems group. Later, she joined Aspect Communications as a CEO from 1998 to 2003. How she pivoted the company during the dotcom era and 9/11. She later became CEO of three private companies which she successfully exited, and has served on corporate boards in addition to doing some business consulting.15:33 -- The difference between CEO coaches or mentors, and serving as a corporate director. Why it's good to separate the role of Chair and CEO. On the bright line between management and governance.22:05 -- Distinctions between serving as an independent director in public and private (venture-backed) companies. "Both are equal amount of work, it just that the work is different."28:41 -- On the debate between staying private for longer and going public. "Too much regulation too early will kill companies." "More companies should be going public, the incentives have shifted very much to staying private and exchanging companies between private equity firms." "There is [also too much] regulatory compliance in public companies and that's become a disincentive."31:51  -- Recommendations for directors in private venture-backed companies facing layoffs, down-rounds, recaps or fire-sales. "Cash is king." "It is possible to get yourself into a situation where the company is unsolvable." 40:25 -- On Silicon Valley's "growth at all costs" mantra. "It's only appropriate for a very small number of companies, not the other 99% of companies." The example of Amazon.44:17 -- The role of the board in strategy and innovation.48:34 -- On the evolution of ESG. "Environmental is a totally different topic than social, so I view [the acronym of] ESG as a failure of marketing." "It lends itself to polarization because you have put two completely unrelated things in the same bucket". On carbon emission disclosures: "Folks will start figuring out how to monetize the metrics that make it look like you're meeting your metrics but you're not actually doing that."54:00 -- "The data for growth of cybercrime went from $3 trillion in 2015 to an expected ~$10-11 trillion in 2025."55:29 -- How to add ESG expertise to the boardroom. Cybersecurity got added in the audit committee. Most companies have added the "S" in ESG in NomGov or Comp committees (more related to human capital management). "I would envision that 10 years from now we will not have ESG as a thing, the E and S will be separate since they don't belong in the same bucket."1:00:28 -- On the evolution of boardroom diversity. 1:06:15 -- What are the 1-3 books that have greatly influenced your life: Caligula, by Albert Camus (1944)Crossing the Chasm, by Geoffrey Moore (1991)Who We Are and How We Got Here, by David Reich (2018)1:09:18 -- Who were your mentors, and what did you learn from them?Ray Lane, former exec at Oracle and KPCB partner.Merrill Brooksby, former exec at HP.1:13:53 -- Are there any quotes you think of often or live your life by? "Be the change you want to see in the world" (attributed to Mahatma Gandhi)1:14:35  -- An unusual habit or an absurd thing that you love: she grows roses.1:15:31  -- The living person she most admires: currently, Volodymyr Zelenskyy ("he has backbone and he is willing to be in the lead in a dangerous and highly volatile situation but you can't get people behind you if you're hiding in the bushes and I think that is admirable.")Beatriz Infante currently serves on several public and private company boards including 1010Data, Emulex, Ultratech, Sonus Networks, Liquidity Services (NASDAQ:LQDT), Ribbon Communications (NASDAQ:RBBN) and PriceSmart (NASDAQ:PSMT). She's also the CEO of Business Excelleration, a consulting firm founded to help the next generation of CEO's excel and accelerate their company's growth. __ You can follow Evan on social media at:Twitter: @evanepsteinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/epsteinevan/ Substack: https://evanepstein.substack.com/__Music/Soundtrack (found via Free Music Archive): Seeing The Future by Dexter Britain is licensed under a Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License

The race to acquire Ambuja Cements and ACC seems to be entering the final lap now. The two top contenders -- Gautam Adani and Sajjan Jindal -- are now vying to take over the two leading domestic cement companies owned by international building materials giant Holcim which is now exiting India after 17 years. There are some other contenders too, like India's top cement maker Ultratech. But why do all these leading firms want to buy Holcim's stake? And why did the Switzerland-based company decide to quit India which contributes 27% of its global sales volumes.  Holcim's decision to pull the plug on an emerging market like India has indeed baffled many. But, if reports are to be believed, it is doing so due to its commitment to check global warming. Similarly, but not on that scale, a 55-year-old engineer from Ladakh has been doing his bit to spread awareness about climate change for decades now. Sonam Wangchuk is now a familiar name in India, thanks to his now resounding voice on climate change and innovations in the cold mountains. His latest one is a carbon-neutral solar building that stays warm even in freezing conditions and can help clean the toxic air of Delhi and NCR. Business Standard's Nazia Iqbal caught up with him in Ladakh to know more. Like the weather, markets too are going through a volatile phase. Volatility in the secondary market against the backdrop of US Fed rate hike and ongoing Russia-Ukraine war has seen two companies – Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and Delhivery -- trim the size of their initial public offers in May. Will more companies follow the suit as the markets are likely to remain choppy?  It may have hit the economy and markets adversely, but the pandemic was in a way good for the Indian pharma industry. India makes about 60% of the world's vaccines and 20% of generic drugs. The US is a major export destination. On its part, the US administration carries out regular inspections at offshore drug making units to ensure that they stick to the standards. In one such recent check, the US FDA has issued Form 483 to a firm. This episode of the podcast demystifies the Form 483 and more.

Barring the initial hiccup on December 27, it was overall a week of consolidation as we were approached the monthly expiry as well as the end of the calendar year. The 17,200 – 17,300 zone was seen as crucial to dictating the immediate direction. The expiry session on December 30 started on a soft note and tested intraday support of 17,150 in the opening trade itself. This small down tick was merely a formality as we saw the Nifty recover immediately to erase losses. During the remaining part of the session, the index remained in a slender range with no clear direction. Eventually, the lacklustre session ended on a flat note, with the index staying a tad above the 17,200-mark. On December 31, we witnessed a good broad-based buying to conclude the year on a happy note well above 17,300. Despite some correction in the recent past, the Nifty managed to clock a gain of more than 24 percent year-on-year. With a close above 17,300, the index is likely to kick off the new year on a positive note. As a conservative trader, one can wait for a sustainable close above 17,400, which is the higher end of the ‘Downward Sloping Channel' on the daily chart. But the way individual stocks are behaving, it is likely to happen in the coming session only. After this, the immediate levels to watch out would be around 17,550–17,700. On the flip side, the base is shifting higher towards 17,000–16,800 before which 17,150 is to be considered as key support. Traders are advised to trade with a positive bias as long as the index remains above the mentioned base. The midcap index is well-poised, hence individual stocks are probably gearing up for a pre-budget rally. Let's see how things pan out and the coming week will confirm the short-term path of our markets.

The benchmark indices ended lower for the second consecutive session on Wednesday amid volatility. Recovery in European markets and buying at lower levels helped the indices recoup losses. The Nifty50 index closed at 17,711 levels, down 37 points. The BSE Sensex, meanwhile, ended with a loss of 254 points at 59,606. Overall, 18 of 30 Sensex stocks ended in the red, led by HDFC, UltraTech and Asian Paints. The broader indices, however, ended in the green after rebounding from day's low. The BSE Midcap closed 0.62 per cent higher, while the Smallcap index ended up 0.40 per cent. About 1830 shares have advanced on BSE, 1371 shares declined, indicating the breadth is in favour of advances. On the sectoral front, the power, metal, pharma and realty indices added 1-3.5 percent, while selling was seen in the auto, bank, capital goods, FMCG names. Power stocks too continued to rally with the BSE Power index rising 3.5 per cent. The Power index surged to a 10-year high as power generation and consumption is expected to improve in FY22. Coming to stock-specific moves, the shares of Godrej Properties ended over 3 per cent higher after the company said it will develop a residential project in Wadala, Mumbai. The stock of Sun Pharma and Lupin too gained on the back of product launches. However, Lupin ended marginally in the red on profit-booking. That said, HDFC AMC fell over 5 per cent on the back of a block deal. At 09:15 am, around 11.06 million equity shares, representing 5.19 per cent of HDFC AMC's equity, changed hands on BSE. Max Healthcare too slipped on the back of a block deal, wherein promoter Kayak Investments Holding likely sold 6.57% stake. Now, in the primary market, the initial public offer by Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC opened for subscription today. The IPO was off to a slow start as it received 54 per cent bids on Day 1 of the bidding process. The IPO will remain open till Friday. Today, Veeda Clinical Research filed for an IPO to raise Rs 831 crore. The issue will consist of an issuance of fresh equity shares worth up to Rs 331.60 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of Rs 500 crore by promoters and existing shareholders. Going into trade on Thursday, the markets are likely to continue their volatility ahead of the monthly derivative expiry for the September series. The technical indicator suggests a volatile movement in the market in a small range between 17600-18000. That apart, stock-specific moves and global cues will be among other major triggers for investors.

The bulls took charge of Dalal Street after a one-day hiatus, led by buying in IT, FMCG and private lenders along with index heavyweight Reliance Industries. This pushed Nifty to a new high of 17,245.50 and it finally settled the day at 17,234, up 158 points. The BSE barometer Sensex jumped 514 points to close at 57,853, with 22 of the 30 stocks in the green. TCS, Ultratech, HUL and DRL were the top Sensex gainers and they rose between 2-3 per cent. On the other hand, M&M, Bajaj Auto, Bajaj Finserv and Bajaj Finance were the worst performers. The broader markets were also buzzing as the formalisation of the economy is enabling organised branded players to gain share. Both BSE Midcap and BSE Smallcap indices rose for the eighth straight day. The former added 0.93 per cent and the latter 0.80 per cent. In the sectoral space, IT, FMCG and Realty indices lead as they rose over 1 per cent each. Nifty Auto and PSU Bank indices were the only losers. The auto index came under pressure as many firms flagged impact on production amid semi-conductor shortages.  In stock-specific action, shares of auto major Mahindra and Mahindra declined 2 per cent on BSE as the firm expects a 20-25 per cent drop in September vehicle production at its automotive division due to semiconductor shortages. Mahindra will observe 'no production days' of about seven days in its automotive division plants this month. Kitex Garments shares, meanwhile, were locked in 10 per cent upper circuit through the day after the company announced that Telangana government has approved its expansion plan. The Government order will be issued within a few days, it added. Shares of HDFC Life Insurance Company recorded an all-time high of Rs 775.65 in trade ahead of a board meeting on Friday scheduled to consider fundraising plan. The stock settled at Rs 759, up 5 per cent. Vodafone Idea stock hogged the limelight after it surged 17 per cent amid media reports that Chairman of Aditya Birla Group (ABG) Kumar Mangalam Birla reportedly met with Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. According to CNBC-TV18, Birla spoke with Vaishnaw on the health of the telecom sector and discussed the urgent need for government intervention. The primary market action was also high as the IPOs of Vijaya Diagnostic and Ami Organics entered the second day of the bidding process. While Ami Organics continued to garner strong investor response, with bids of over 3 times, Vijaya Diagnostic struggled to cross the halfway mark. It was subscribed over 40 per cent on Day 2. Both these issues close for subscription on Friday. Now, going into trade tomorrow, the focus will be on macro data. Back home, investors will eye the August Services PMI and on the global front the US jobs data to gauge the US Fed's stimulus outlook. That apart, stock-specific news triggers and global cues will continue to hold sway over the market trajectory.

A sharp recovery in US futures helped benchmark indices recoup some losses. But even then both Sensex and Nifty declined for the third straight day. Traders also avoided taking positions ahead of the market holiday on Wednesday for Bakri-Id. BSE Sensex sunk 355 points or 0.68% to 52,199. Its NSE counterpart Nifty settled at 15,632, down 120 points or 0.76%. IndusInd Bank, Tata Steel and NTPC were the worst losers. Meanwhile, Asian Paints following an over 160% YoY jump in Q1 PAT at Rs 574 crore was the top gainer. The scrip closed over 6% higher. Ultratech, HUL and Nestle were other gainers from the Sensex pack. Sectorally, only the Nifty FMCG index closed in the green. Nifty Media, Metals and Realty indices declined over 2% each and were the top laggards. The fall in the broader market was more pronounced, with both Nifty Midcap and Nifty Smallcap shedding over 1.4%. Stock specific action remained high. Cement stocks hogged the limelight following a strong Q1 show by ACC. ACC stock hit a new high of Rs 2343 as it posted strong operational performance for the second quarter. It closed the day 7% up at Rs 2308.55. Other cement stocks like JK Lakshmi, Birla Corporation and Ambuja Cements jumped between 5-6%. Tata Motors declined over 2% after the latest shareholding pattern showed that Rakesh Jhunjhunwala reduced his stake in the company to 1.14 per cent in the June quarter from 1.29 per cent in the March quarter. Bajaj Finance, in closing hours of trade, posted a 3 per cent YoY decline in net profit to Rs 843 crore for the quarter ended June. Following this, the scrip settled 1% down at Rs 5937.90 on BSE. Tatva Chintan Pharma Chem's IPO was subscribed 180 times so far on Day 3. With another hour left for investors to put in their bids, it remains to be seen if the IPO can beat MTAR Tech's 200 times bids. With markets shut on Wednesday, investors will react to global cues on Thursday with the weekly expiry expected to keep the indices volatile. Besides, earnings from top two index majors HUL and Bajaj Auto are also slated for Thursday, which can result in stock-specific lead action on the index. In global trade today, European and US stock futures gained as markets stabilised after Monday's rout. The Stoxx Europe 600 rose 0.5% while US futures that were up half a per cent, indicated a firm Wall Street start later in the day.

The Indian market is likely to open higher Monday following gains in Asian peers amid strong global cues. Investors’ focus will remain on the coronavirus situation in India and March quarter earnings going ahead. At 8:10 am, the SGX Nifty was trading 133.00 points or 0.89 percent higher at 15,001.50, indicating a positive start for the broader index in India.

Can you imagine spending 12 years in prison for operating your business? Could you pay $110,000 of fines for providing almost 100 jobs to your community in an ethical way? That's what's happening to the Self Made Fitness franchise owner, @jeff.mahaffey, here in Arizona. Mahaffey has built not one, not two, but four premium fitness locations here in Arizona. Due to COVID concerns, Mahaffey shut down his Scottsdale location. After closing for two months, Mahaffey lost $50K in earnings and decided to re-open to allow his trainers a chance at surviving this pandemic. Today @coachiknight explores Mahaffey's background as a marine and how sitting at a desk forced him to sacrifice his financial success in exchange for true fulfillment. We also discuss why his operation is light years ahead of the competition and how his staff has trained more than 50,000 people in person over the last nine months with zero infections. Tune in to the season finale of Arizona fit now!

We are back with Mark and Dale Shaw of UltraTech. This couple’s viral video was so enormously successful, it practically crippled their sales department. They have a company culture that is extraordinary. We walked in the door and were treated like celebrities. Mark is most famously known for his Ted Talk video where he throws a bucket of red paint at a white canvas to demonstrate the genius of Ultra Ever Dry, the hydrophobic coating that makes water run away. Dale and Mark are also one of those couples who never planned on going into business together. Mark was a Mandarin-speaking economist who was going to make a killing in business with China. But the Love Canal environmental disaster made him want to save the world from toxic waste. Dale got involved because her husband and his business partners needed bookeeping. But…where do diapers that don’t smell fit into all of this?

Dale and Mark Shaw of Ultratech in Jacksonville, Florida have one of those stories about accidentally going into business together. Inspired by the Love Canal environmental disaster, Mark wanted to save the world from toxic chemicals. Inspired by some harebrained ideas they had, Dale wanted to save Mark and his partners from some lousy bookkeeping plans. 25 years later, Mark and Dale are a force in environmental compliance, spill containment and advanced technology products. Theirs is also a business that has had more than its 15 minutes of fame. They were responsible for a viral video that crippled their sales department. Mark and Dale are smart, fun and engaging—and have quite a story about being a couple in love and in business because of Love Canal.

We are excited to welcome Atul Daga, CFO, Ultratech Grasim. Now Atul‘s running journey is quite unique. Though he has been running the marathon since the very second year the Marathon was launched in 2004, Atul plunged into half marathon from the third year onwards and has kept the tempo going since then, participating in almost every half-marathons across the country and a few in Asia as well. Atul shares with us how his early morning run gives him peace of mind, how it is okay to not really want to keep upping the game as long as one is enjoying oneself and how there are plenty of places to run in Mumbai if one rises early! So now, Let’s strap it on!
