15:00 (IST) 23 Sep 2022 Nifty turns negative for 2022, Sensex falls 1.5%, Bank Nifty tumbles 3%; what is dragging markets today?
BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 fell over 1.5 per cent to hit the lowest level since 30 Aug 2022, and Bank Nifty index plunged nearly 3 per cent intraday as market participants remained cautious fearing that aggressive rate hike by US Fed, and slowing Chinese economy could weigh on global economic growth. The US Fed clearly signalled this week that it is willing to tolerate a recession to get inflation back in control when it raised the rate by another 75 bps. In addition, its updated economic projections showed slower GDP growth and higher inflation. According to analysts at ICICI Securities, given the Fed’s hawkish stance to tame inflation, the US may enter a recession by the second quarter of FY23. Read full story

14:17 (IST) 23 Sep 2022 RBI MPC expectation: 25-50 bps rate hike on cards
“The monetary policies in emerging markets will inevitably take cues from the US Fed. The RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee will take guidance from high inflation in India and uneven data points from global economies. They may also take into account that banking system liquidity in India has gone negative compared to 2019. With retail inflation above RBI’s comfort range there is that the RBI will increase rates by 25 basis points. However, it is very possible that the RBI might decide this is a good time to be ahead of the curve and increase rates by 50 basis points.”

14:05 (IST) 23 Sep 2022 RBI monetary policy a key event to watch out for next week
Domestic and international equity markets this week reacted to Federal Reserve’s 75 bps rate hike decision. Domestic market remained range bound and major indices gave broadly flattish return this week. Returns of most sectoral indices this week were on a slightly negative territory. However, BSE FMCG and BSE Healthcare witnessed some positive momentum. Global equity markets were under pressure post Fed’s rate hike decision and its hawkish tone. US 10-year treasury yield remained high and is now above 3.7%. Globally, inflation, Central Bank rate increase action, energy prices and recession remains area of concern. Crude oil prices have broadly remained stable but the Indian currency have depreciated in recent days. For the domestic market, one of the key near-term event to watch out for is the upcoming RBI monetary policy. Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail) at Kotak Securities
13:06 (IST) 23 Sep 2022 Should you buy Tata Steel stock?
Tata Steel has announced a merger of 7 subsidiaries – 4 listed and 3 unlisted. Merger is a positive step as it will (1) simply the corporate structure, (2) plug leakage of addition royalty payments on inter-company iron ore transfers, (3) reduce corporate overheads (4) enable various businesses with higher financial flexibility to progress on growth projects and (5) bring in further operational, procurement and tax synergies. While we await for company guidance on potential synergies, we estimate Rs7.5-8 bn of annual savings, equity dilution of 2.2% and potential EPS accretion of 1.5-2%. The scheme will require various regulatory and shareholder approval and likely to complete by end of FY2024E. We have a REDUCE rating on the stock with a Fair Value of Rs110/share.

08:52 (IST) 23 Sep 2022 Immediate downside risk for Nifty seen at 17429
Equity benchmark indices are likely to start on a negative note Friday and slip further amid bearish sentiment across the global equity markets. Markets will continue to witness intra-day volatile moves in the backdrop of a rate hike decision by the US Fed and its hawkish commentary that is weighing heavily on investors’ minds. Some part of pessimism is also due to the exit of FIIs from the local shares and they sold shares worth Rs 2509.60 crores in yesterday’s trade. Technically, the immediate downside risk for Nifty is seen at 17429 mark and below the same, expect a waterfall of selling which could take the index towards the 16907 mark.
