Image
The share price of Sobha was down over 4 percent intraday on Friday while Prestige Estates shed over 3 percent. Amid fears of acute water scarcity, reports are making rounds that the Karnataka government is considering a five-year ban on construction of multi-storeyed residential buildings. This has led to the fall of real estate stocks including Sobha and Prestige Estates. Deputy chief minister Dr. G Parameshwara on June 27 said that builders sell the apartments to families without assuring them of water availability, according to a report by PTI. Due to water scarcity, there were deliberations on banning the construction of apartments in Bengaluru for the next five years, Parameshwara said.

Maruti Suzuki gains as Citi maintains buy; cut target to Rs 7,400

Image
It believes that the company is best positioned to ride out the cycle, given its strong positioning and balance sheet. Shares of Maruti Suzuki India rose 1 percent intraday Friday after brokerage house Citi maintained buy rating but cut target to Rs 7,400 from Rs 8,000 per share. Citi cut FY20/22 profit estimates by 12%/3%, and also cut volumes sharply for FY20, given the slow start to the year. Current slowdown, now in its 11 months, will probably be second longest slowdown. However, after the 12-18 month downturn, the probability of a 2-4 year upturn is much higher. It believes that the company is best positioned to ride out the cycle, given its strong positioning and balance sheet. At 12:18 hrs Maruti Suzuki India was quoting at Rs 6,524.10, up to Rs 36, or 0.55 percent on the BSE. A special offer this week. take 2 days  free trial in Stock Market Tips and MCX Tips

What does the auto sector expect from the Union Budget 2019?

Image
The bigger challenge is to bring down the cost of funds, which has gone up because NBFCs are not able to raise funds at low cost. This will be the key to reviving auto sector demand The Indian auto sector has been facing one of its worst periods in the last year. Year-on-year (YoY), the sales of automobiles has dropped by over 20 percent and the inventories are piling up. It is in this backdrop that the Union Budget 2019 is being presented. So, what exactly are the expectations from the Union Budget for the auto sector? The auto industry does not call it a reduction, but a rationalization. According to auto sector insiders, imposing 28 percent GST on automobiles literally puts it on par with sin goods like cigarettes and other items of luxury consumption. Actually, automobiles are neither! The first expectation is that the GST on automobiles should be reduced from 28 percent to a more rational level of 18 percent at a policy level. The auto industry believ

Liquidity crisis hammers IPO segment in 1H2019; revival in H2 unlikely

Image
Experts who spoke to Moneycontrol don't expect a revival in the primary market unless liquidity coming back as normal. The first half of 2019 witnessed underperformance in not only the broader market but also in the primary market, even though benchmark indices recorded strong returns. Only six initial public offers came out in H1, of which, three came with an issue size of more than Rs 1,000 crore, while the remaining raised less than Rs 500 crore each. In comparison, 13 companies came out with IPOs in the corresponding period of 2018. The six IPOs raised about Rs 2,265 crore through the main board, whereas 3 IPOs were listed on the SME platform. The initial public offering of Polycab India and Neogen Chemicals received an overwhelming response, getting subscribed by 52 times and 41 times respectively while the other four - Metropolis Healthcare, Chalet Hotels, MSTC, and Rail Vikas Nigam saw subscription in the range of 1.5-6 times. Nonetheless, the perfo

Watch out! Huge shorts got rolled in mid-cap counters for July series

Image
The two-thirds of the stocks from derivatives segment saw decent selling pressure in June series, which does not bode well for the bulls. The June series started with a good amount of long positions and recorded a new all-time high of 12,103 in initial days of June expiry. But, the bulls failed to hold Nifty above 12,000 marks as we witnessed some selling pressure from higher levels. However, the index managed to sustain above the upper-end of the gap area, which was formed on the Exit Poll result day and showed some strength in the last week of the June series. The Nifty50 remained in a broader range of 480 points in June series and, eventually, concluded the month with marginal loss over its May series close. In the June series, we have not seen any significant activity on the open interest front. However, some of the long positions got carried forward to the July series as rollovers in Nifty stood at 80.35 percent, which is much higher than its quarterly averag

Market consolidation may continue, July looks promising

Image
We expect to see Nifty50 fluctuating in the range of 11,620 to 11,860. The index is likely to test this range in the first half of July contracts while in the second half we may see some higher highs. The May election results and the polls prior to the announcement filled the public with hopes for a better market scenario, but the effect of the same seems to have faded. The markets had reached a high of around 12,000 on the day of the announcement of the results, but could not sustain this level for long. June witnessed an opening around 11,940 level, but the Nifty50 was able to touch the 12,000 marks for merely three days at the beginning of the month. This initial activity was again based on monetary rate cuts by the RBI, but the announcements did not seem enough to continue pumping blood into the markets. Even though the Nifty did not sustain the high this month, the index continued to find support at 11,620. This level has continued as the support level for the in

Technical Classroom: How to use Fibonacci Retracement Levels in stock trading

Image
Fibonacci retracement is a method of technical analysis for determining support and resistance levels A Fibonacci retracement is a popular tool among technical traders and is based on some key numbers. The origins of the Fibonacci series can be traced back to the ancient Indian mathematic scripts, with some claims dating back to 200 BC. However – in the 12th century - Leonardo Pisano Bigollo, an Italian mathematician who was known to his friends as Fibonacci, discovered Fibonacci numbers. It is a popular tool that technical traders use to help identify price levels for transactions, stop losses or target prices. These retracement levels also provide support and resistance levels for a stock. However, it really becomes most effective when confirming signals or conditions identified by additional technical analysis tools. Fibonacci Retracement is a method of technical analysis for determining support and resistance levels. It is named after the use of the Fibonacci sequ
