NSE Decreases tick size to one Paisa: Over 1,300 Stocks will be Affected.

May 27, 2024 by Nitesh Leave a Comment

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) said on Friday that it will cut the ticket size, also known as the tick size, for equities priced up to Rs 250 per share.
The current tick size for stocks traded on the NSE is Rs 0.05, or 5 paisa. The NSE aims to cut the tick size to Rs 0.01 or 1 paisa, allowing buyers and sellers to submit orders to purchase and sell stocks for less than Rs 250 in multiples of 1 paisa, such as Rs 101.01 and so on.

According to the NSE media release, all cash and futures stocks under Rs 250, except stock options, would be traded using a 1 paisa tick size.
The NSE’s counterpart, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), already uses the 0.01 tick scale, but only for stocks worth less than Rs 100.
Analysts feel that a smaller tick size, particularly in the case of lower-valued shares, aids price discovery.

Kranti Bathini, Director-Equity WealthMills Securities says its a welcome step from the NSE. Lower tick size will help in improve the spreads, and the volumes too can rise.

Meanwhile, NSE’s release stated that the lowered tick size shall be applicable for new listings as well. The exchange shall determine the eligibility for all such shares as of the last trading day of a particular month.

Arvinder Singh Nanda, Senior Vice President at Master Capital Services said the NSE’s move to lower the tick size aims to bolster price discovery and market efficiency, rendering trading more appealing for both retail investors and traders.

Moreover, the tick size in the stock futures segment will align with that of the underlying security in the cash market. This alteration will empower investors to devise novel strategies tailored to the smaller tick sizes, particularly for lower-priced securities, Arvinder Singh Nanda added in the note, while cautioning that the said move may also escalate system load due to the large number of orders.

The new tick size rule on the NSE will be applicable from July 08, 2024 onwards, based on the closing price of June 2024. NSE shall review the of underlying security on a monthly basis.

On the technical front, the 22,300 zone is likely to cushion upcoming blips, while 22,200-22,100 is likely to act as the next support zone for Nifty, said – Osho Krishan, Sr. Analyst – Technical & Derivative Research at Angel One.

On the higher end, 22,500-22,600 is very much in the vicinity of the bulls, especially with the kind of momentum seen on the weekly settlement session, the analyst added.

Gift Nifty, Global Markets Hint Gap-Up Open on May 16; FIIs Trade in Focus.

May 16, 2024 by Nitesh Leave a Comment

Pre-market stock update on Thursday, May 16:With an emphasis on FII inflows after US rates dropped to 5-week lows, equity markets in India are anticipated to follow strong foreign signals and trade on a positive note today.
Gift Nifty futures opened at 22,380 at 7:00 AM, indicating a probable 70-point gap-up on the Nifty 50 index.

Global Markets

The US market closed at all-time highs overnight as statistics revealed that US consumer prices increased less than anticipated in April, indicating that inflation has started to decline in the second quarter. According to the data, there could be many interest rate reductions in 2024.
In April, the US consumer price index (CPI) increased by 0.3%, less than the 0.4% increase that was anticipated. The figure indicates a slowdown in domestic demand, which US central bank officials are probably happy to hear as they work to facilitate a “soft-landing” for the economy.

Following which, all three indices closed at new life-time highs. Dow Jones jumped 0.9 per cent. The S&P 500 rose 1.2 per cent, and Nasdaq soared 1.4 per cent.

The US 10-year bond yield eased to 4.32 per cent, its lowest level in the last five weeks. Among commodities, Gold futures jumped back to $2,400 levels, while Brent Crude Oil hovered around $83 per barrel.

Mirroring the cues from the US peers, the Australian and Malaysian stock benchmark indices surged over 1 per cent each this morning. Taiwan too was up 0.8 per cent. Japan’s Nikkei held a 0.6 per cent gain even as data showed that its economy shrank more than expected in Q12024 hit by slowdown in consumer spending and sticky inflation.

Domestic Cues

Thursday’s FII flows will be closely watched after a decline in US yields. In the derivatives market, the FIIs are said to have built big short positions and have been active sellers thus far in May. On Wednesday, the DIIs net bought shares worth Rs 3,788 crore, while the FIIs net sold equities worth Rs 2,833 crore.

The Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) continued to aggressively build short positions in Index futures. The long short ratio on 14th May stood at 30.46 per cent, said Ashwin Ramani, Derivatives & Technical Analyst of SAMCO Securities in a note.

Foreign investors are the most pessimistic in over a decade on Indian stocks amid speculation over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party winning fewer seats in the ongoing national elections than previously estimated.

Net short positions – measured as the difference between the number of index futures contracts on which global funds are long to those on which they hold a short position – surged to 213,224 contracts, data compiled by Bloomberg showed. The gap is the widest since data going back to 2012. Among individual stocks, shares of oil & gas producers & explorers will be in focus on Thursday after the government, in its bi-weekly review, cut the windfall tax on petroleum crude to Rs 5,700 per metric tonne from Rs 8,400. The tax remained unchanged at zero for diesel and aviation turbine fuel.

That apart, shares of Biocon, Container Corporation of India, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals, DCW, eClerx Services, Endurance Technologies, Gail India, Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL), Vodafone Idea, Indian Hume Pipe, Indoco Remedies, JK Paper, Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), Kopran, Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), Info Edge (Naukri), Prism Johnson, Sanghvi Movers, Solar Industries, Texmaco Rail, V-Guard and Wonderala Holidays are likely to be on investors radar ahead of Q4 results today.

Trading strategy for Thursday, May 16 – Should you be a buyer or seller today? Here’s what market experts recommend:

Ashwin Ramani of SAMCO Securities states that the support level of 22,200 which earlier acted as a strong support for Nifty, is acting as resistance now. The Nifty has failed to aggressively close above the channel support level convincingly in the last two trading sessions. The call writers (Bears) have sizeable positions at the 22,200 Strike and the option activity at this strike will provide cues about Nifty’s Intraday direction ahead of the weekly expiry today.

Om Mehra, Technical Analyst of SAMCO Securities cautions, that the Nifty is forming an inverted head and shoulder pattern on the hourly chart, with the neckline remaining around 22,320; if crossed, expect a potential rally towards the 22,450-22,500 range.

On the downside, immediate support for the Nifty is seen at the 22,080 level. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) continues to hover below the 50 mark, signalling short-term weakness in the market, the analyst added.

Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Interrmediates also highlights that technically, on the daily scale, the Nifty has encountered resistance near the 22,300 levels, where the 21-Days exponential moving average (21-DEMA) is placed. As long as the Nifty remains below the 22,300 levels, we expect the index to consolidate in the range of 22,000-22,300.

Despite the fall on Wednesday, the Bank Nifty is still respecting a bullish engulfing candle, indicating strength. As long as the Bank Nifty remains above 46,983, the bullish momentum will continue. On the upside, the 21-DEMA is placed near 48,060, which will serve as the first hurdle for the index, followed by 48,500, Hrishikesh said in his note.

Sentiment remains subdued as long as it stays below 22,250. A decisive move beyond this level could potentially propel Gift Nifty towards 22,600 and beyond. Conversely, a failure to sustain above 22,200 might invite selling pressure in the market, said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.

Canara Bank Share Price Live Updates: Canara Bank trading at ₹118.65, up 4.77% from yesterday’s ₹113.25

Canara Bank Share Price Live Updates: Canara Bank share price is at ₹118.65 and has crossed the key daily support price level of ₹543.87. This indicates that stock is experiencing significant selling pressure and the price can decline further.

Earlier this year on April 19, 2024 the public sector lender had set Wednesday, 15th May 2024 as the record date for determining entitlement of equity shareholders for the purpose of split of existing equity shares of the bank. The stock split arrangement was such that 1 equity share having face value of Rs. 10 each, will be subdivided into 5 equity shares having face value of Rs. 2 each.

A stock split makes the shares more affordable for retail investors, and the move is likely to increase trading activity on the counter. This could be particularly beneficial for smaller investors who may have been previously deterred by the higher share price.

Moreover, the stock split has the potential to broaden the bank’s retail investor base. Prior to the split, a significant portion of the bank’s ownership was held by a relatively small number of High Net Worth Individuals (HNIs), including notable investors like Rekha Rakesh Jhunjhunwala.

It’s important to note that a stock split differs from a bonus share issue. In a stock split, existing shares are divided into multiple shares with smaller face values, while in a bonus share issue, additional shares are distributed to existing shareholders based on their current holdings. Therefore, while a stock split increases the number of shares outstanding, it does not directly impact the share capital of the company.

Canara Bank recorded a 18.33 per cent year-on-year growth to Rs 3,757 crore in January-March quarter of fiscal year 2023-24 (Q4FY24). The bank’s net interest income (NII), increased by 11.18 per cent to Rs 9,580 crore during the fourth quarter of FY24. The bank registered NII of Rs 8,617 crore in the same period of the previous year.
At 11:17 AM; the stock of the company was trading 4.55 per cent higher at Rs 118.40 per share. By comparison the S&P BSE Sensex was down mariginally by 0.04 per cent.

Pre-market stock update for May 14, Tuesday:Aided by the sharp intraday rally yesterday, the NSE Nifty 50 managed to survive above the 100-DMA (Daily Moving Average) for the third straight trading session.

The market may look to build-up on the gains, amid supportive cues from Asian peers. The focus, however, will be on the inflation data in India and the US, followed by the US Fed chief Jerome Powell speech.

Retail inflation in India eased to 4.83 per cent in April, even as food prices continued to surge. The data was release on Monday, post market hours.

Akhil Mittal, Senior Fund Manager-Fixed Income, Tata Asset Management said the CPI numbers were in line with expectations, and hence may not have any material impact on policy / markets.

At 07:00 AM, Gift Nifty futures quoted at 22,239, suggesting a mildly positive start on the Nifty 50.

Among individual stocks Zomato will be in focus after the company posted its fourth straight quarterly net profit.

Trading strategy for Tuesday, May 14 – Should you be a buyer or seller today? Here’s what market experts recommend:

Osho Krishan, Sr. Analyst – Technical & Derivative Research at Angel One recommends to remain cautious amidst the rise in volatility, which may be deceptive and could trap traders on either side. He adds that traders should refrain from aggressive overnight bets, and maintain exclusivity with stock selection.

On the level-specific front, Osho expects support for the Nifty around 22,000 – 21,900, followed by the sacrosanct support of the 89-DEMA around 21,800 zone. At the higher end, 22,200-22,300 is likely to act as intermediate resistance, and a sustainable surpass could only trigger a fresh round of longs in the system.

What are Shares and Types of Shares?

Analysing the F&O data, Ashwin Ramani, Derivatives & Technical Analyst of SAMCO Securities, reveals that both the 21,800 & 21,900 Strikes saw strong put writing. The Nifty has formed a hammer pattern on the daily chart, which is considered to be a bullish reversal signal. If call writers (Bears) exit from the 22,000 Strike, then Nifty is likely to move higher.

Echoing similar terms, Om Mehra, Technical Analyst of SAMCO Securities, said the Nifty has formed a hammer candlestick pattern at the support of its rising trendline on the daily chart, signaling a potential reversal.

The Nifty may trade within a broader range of 21,950 to 22,250 in the coming sessions. While the Nifty closed above its 100-day Moving Average (DMA), but needs to close above the crucial level of 22,300, to confirm a bullish stance to continue, Om Mehra added.

Bank Nifty halted its eight-session losing streak, showing resilience as it formed a morning star pattern on the hourly chart and rebound from lower levels, closing the session at 47,754. Currently, Bank Nifty is positioned near a crucial rising trendline. The daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 46 levels. Immediate resistance remains at 48,000; if crossed, we expect a rally till 48,250-48,300, the analyst concluded in the note.

Similarly, Neeraj Sharma, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Intermediates suggested that as per the hammer candlestick pattern, as long as the Nifty holds the support of 21,820, the relief rally will continue. The 21-DEMA is placed near 22,315, which will act as an immediate hurdle for the index. Thus, for the short term, we expect a pullback towards 22,300 levels. If the index sustains above 22,315, the pullback rally might test 22,500 levels.

April 11, 2024 by Nitesh Leave a Comment

Stock Market Closing Bell on April 10, 2024: Equity markets were rangebound with a positive bias on Wednesday as investors await fresh triggers for directional moves. The S&P BSE Sensex ended with gains of 354 points, or 0.47 percent, at 75,038 levels, while the Nifty50 closed at 22,754, up 111 points or 0.49 percent.

Tech View:: ‘Decisive move above 22,750 in Nifty might induce a rally towards 23,000’

The Nifty mostly remained sideways today as investors preferred to wait ahead of the US CPI inflation data, which could potentially impact rate cuts by the Fed. The resistance zone is placed at 22,700-22,750, while support is at 22,600. A decisive move above 22,750 might induce a rally towards 23,000 in the short term. Since the market appears to be range-bound, buying on dips and selling on rallies might prove to be a good strategy with proper stop-loss measures.

Comment :: ‘Investors remain fixated on impending release of the FOMC minutes, US inflation data’

Indian markets sustained their upward momentum, buoyed by a robust performance in the broader market, albeit slightly lagging behind its Asian and European counterparts. Investor attention remains fixated on the impending release of the FOMC minutes and US inflation data later today. Following the release of strong US job data, market sentiments are inclined towards an anticipation of spike inflation, thereby reducing the likelihood of a near-term rate cut. Additionally, Fitch’s recent downgrade of China’s credit rating could potentially reverberate through the global economy, warranting a caution.

Comment :: Here’s what could keep markets resilient

Robust economic growth, decent corporate earnings, macroeconomic stability, expectations of political stability after elections, sustained capital flows, and retail investor enthusiasm will keep the market resilient despite rich valuations.
