Mahurat Trading : Diwali 2021



One Hour Diwali Muharat (Samvat 2078) seems to have worked in favour of the Indian Market. Positive Global outlook and cut in excise duty on petrol and diesel encouraged the sentiments of Indians. Sensex which was on a downward curve, climed up 295.70 points / 0.49% and closed at 60,067. NSE also increased by 87.60 points /0.49% and finished at 17,916.80.


Sensex's gains were basically from M&M, ITC, Bajaj Auto, L&T, Kotak bank, Sun Pharma and Nestle India rising almost 2.87%. on the opposite site, ICICI Bank, Ultratech Cement, Asian Paints and Dr. Reddy  lost 0.43%. Except Metal Industry, most of the BSE sectors finished on positive note, which were auto, consumer goods, capital goods, Industrial goods, FMCG. Similar trend was followed in broader market, where small cap BSE rose 1.36% and mid cap rose 0.73%.




NSE AND BSE WILL BE CLOSED ON FRIDAY i.e. NOVEMBER 5th on the occassion of Diwali Balipratipada.


According to Samvat 2077,  Nifty's Mid Cap delivered 40% Return and Small Cap delivered even stronger returns.


Dhiraj Relli, MD & CEO, HDFC Securities, said: "After a great year for equity markets, investors are looking forward to markets continue rising though not at the same pace. Global headwinds in the form of rising inflation and withdrawal of monetary stimulus may impact the momentum, but strength in Indian macros and improving micros may help offset these. Investors need to conduct portfolio review, asset allocation review, and raise the quality of stocks held in their portfolio."


Global stocks markets were mostly higher today, a day after the Federal Reserve said it would this month start tapering its pandemic support programme. 


As widely expected, the Fed on Wednesday said it would start reducing the monthly pace of quantitative easing (QE) stimulus purchases by $10 billion for Treasuries and $5 billion for mortgage-backed securities. But the central bank said the announcement fuelled another record rally on Wall Street, and gains across Asia.

“After the spectacular returns in Samvat 2077, investors should expect modest returns only, say in low teens, in Samvat 2078. This Samvat is likely to be very volatile, unlike last Samvat. Rising inflation would be the biggest known threat to the market. Rate hikes by the Fed can happen by the end of 2022 or, perhaps, earlier than that if persistent inflation and the bond market forces the Fed's hands. Rate hikes by the Fed will lead to some capital flight from emerging markets like India and this is likely to trigger some sharp correction in the market. But the correction may turn out to be low and short-lived if the economy rebounds smartly," said VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

The Asian Paints Price Hike Stroke

This paint business, which was once a stock market favourite, hasn't had a fantastic year. While the Sensex has increased by more than 50%, Asian Paints has only increased by 30%. The Synopsis Asian Paints, the world's largest paint manufacturer, has raised prices by just 3% a year for the past 20 years. That's correct, despite the fact that we've had to cope with out-of-control inflation everywhere, paint costs have never been an issue. The corporation, on the other hand, has finally rolled up its sleeves and is getting down to work. Asian Paints, the industry leader, is raising prices by 7–10 percent starting November 12th. Yes, it's advising everyone to spruce up their homes before Diwali. But, you may wonder, why the abrupt change of heart. Of sure, earnings are important. Sales increased by 32% year over year, from Rs 5,350 crores to almost Rs 7,000 crores, according to the company's latest figures (July-September). However, its net income dropped by 28%, f...

SEBI's New Guidelines : How will it help Investors?

The Synopsis In view of the rising number of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) flooding the public markets, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has produced a consultation paper. In recent years, the markets have seen three major trends: large-cap IPOs, many technology company listings, and a rise in the number of offers for sale compared to new stocks issues. The SEBI is primarily concerned with concerns that arise as a result of these three tendencies. Companies will be required to provide more disclosures. When a business needs more funding, it will issue more stock shares to investors. Companies must describe how the cash will be used in this situation. Asset-light technology enterprises, on the other hand, do not need funding for typical capital expenditures such as the construction of factories, showrooms, or other traditional capital expenditures. Instead, these organisations put their money towards things like client acquisition, brand promotion, expanding into new ...

Live Commerce : A brief Understanding (A Myntra's Gamble)

The Synopsis Is it possible that the ease of shopping for garments online will persuade Indians to abandon the "try-before-you-buy" mentality? That was the wager made by Myntra in 2011. It has just shifted its focus from customised gifts to fashion. And it was successful. Myntra became India's top online fashion platform in only a few years. Flipkart came knocking in 2013. It wants to expand its fashion portfolio, so it bought Myntra. Myntra, on the other hand, continued to iterate. It transitioned from an inventory-led approach, in which they purchased garments from manufacturers before reselling it, to a marketplace one, in which over 3000 businesses could utilise the Myntra platform to present their offerings to buyers. It collaborated with Bollywood stars such as Hrithik Roshan to promote unique products (HRX). Mast & Harbour are two of its own private label brands. To further build its Bollywood cred, it teamed with superstars such as Deepika Padukone (All About ...
