Late buying take benchmarks to fresh closing highs; Nifty surpasses 10,100 mark
Buying in last leg of trade comes as the saving grace for the markets and helped them to settle at fresh record closing highs, with Nifty surpassing its crucial 10,100 mark, as traders remained optimistic ahead of outcome interest rate decision from two-day Monetary Policy Committee meeting that started today. The street is expecting a rate cut of at least 25 basis points by RBI tomorrow. Markets traded with huge volatility throughout the day, with frontline gauges swinging between green and red for most part of the day, but bulls which woke up in dying hour of trade mainly supported the markets to hit another record high. Traders also took encouragement with report that the collection of Integrated Goods and Services Tax from imports crossed Rs 20,000 crore in July - the first month of the roll out of the new indirect tax regime. Adding to the optimism, global rating agency Moody’s has reported that India's GDP growth will remain in the range of 6.5-7.5 percent over the next 12-18 months and GST will support the momentum for faster growth.
However, gains remained capped as some cautiousness crept in the markets after the growth of eight core sectors slowed to 0.4% in June due to contraction in output of coal, refinery products, fertilizer and cement. The growth rate of eight infrastructure sectors was 7% in June last year. Some anxiety also spread among the investors, as PMI survey data indicated that the introduction of the goods & services tax (GST) weighed heavily on the Indian manufacturing industry in July. The Nikkei/IHS Markit Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index fell to 47.9 in July from June's 50.9, its first reading below the 50 mark that separates growth from contraction since December and its lowest reading since February 2009. Some concerns also came with the report that investments in the domestic capital market through participatory notes (P-notes) slumped to Rs 1.65 lakh crore in June amid stringent norms put in place by Sebi to curb the inflow of illicit funds.
On the global front, European markets have made a positive start, moving higher after two straight months of declines thanks to a positive flow of earnings released on Monday. Asian markets ended mostly in green, as investors prepared to assess a fresh round of corporate earnings reports and data releases on the global economy, starting with an upbeat Chinese factory numbers.
Back home, stocks of oil marketing companies remained on buyers’ radar, as the government asked oil marketing companies to raise the prices of subsidised cooking gas by Rs 4 per cylinder every month. Stocks related to Auto space too caught speed on strong sales performances in the month of July by companies like Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Ashok Leyland and Maruti Suzuki.
