Nifty Rallied By More Than 1% Supported By Banks & Metals Following Upbeat Q3 Earnings By Some Pvt Banks Despite Demonetization And China’s Commitments To Reduce Its 9% Steel Capacity



Market Wrap: 11/01/2017 (19:00)

Looking at the chart, Nifty Fut (Jan @8386) has to sustain over 8405-8425 area for further rally towards 8485-8510 & 8545-8585 zone in the short term (under bullish case scenario).

On the other side, sustaining below 8375-8340 zone, NF may further fall towards 8255-8190 & 8140-8105 area in the near term (under bear case scenario).

Nifty Fut (Jan) today closed around 8386 (+92 points) after making an opening session low of 8324 and a late day high of 8400.

Domestic market today opened in a positive note despite tepid global cues on the back of “spectacular” Q3FY17 numbers by one of the Pvt Bank yesterday (Indusind) and better poll prospect of BJP in the upcoming UP election amid no sign of real truce between the Yadav families. Various upbeat comments about India, despite demonetization concerns in the ongoing Vibrant Gujrat Global Summit and “raining” of investment commitments by various high profile investors may be also supporting the market, at least till this week, when the summit will close.

The sentiment of the market was further boosted by some reports that China is going to curtail some of its excess steel producing capacity. China will close all of its medium frequency furnaces, equivalent to around 9% of its overall capacity by June’17. 

Also, yesterday’s upbeat PPI data from China was positive for metals and along with that perception of “Trumponomics” and hopes for an imminent announcement of stimulus by Trump today has ignited metals scrips (incremental infra spending in US may increase the demands of metals in the coming days).

But, global market is also cautious about Trump’s 1st official presser today as it may be used primarily to defend his stand against a reported personal scandal in a 2013 Mrs. Universe show in Moscow. The Russian agency may be compromising this information with some credible proofs against Trump/USA; although this was vehemently denied by Russia today.

Again, if Trump devoted himself to this scandal episode more rather than divulging any specific details about his plan to rebuild “America” by incremental fiscal spending, tax cuts, deregulation etc, market may disappoint and both USD/US bond yields and EQ market may further correct. 

Already market is quite anxious about Trump’s ongoing “Twitter Tantrum” for various issues, which is causing some unexpected volatility. Thus, politics & scandal may be in the forefront for Trump rather than economics and market is cautiously waiting for his presser today.

Indian market sentiment was further boosted today after South Bank Q3 result today after yesterday’s upbeat Indusind bank numbers, which may be an early indication that despite concerns of demonetization, banks are not suffered so much as expected and all the other banks are rallied quite significantly today after recent under-performance.

But, the apparent stability in asset quality and some other parameters & NIM may be coming on the back of huge demonetized deposits. As par some reports, an unexpected amount of around Rs.88000 cr has been deposited in cash (old demonetized notes) in various loan repayments, NPA/NPL/write off cases. This windfall gain for sudden loan recovery will not be there in Q4FY17 and subsequent quarters and going forward, Govt (IT/ED) may also take some action as it’s being seen as “black/unaccounted money”; necessary tax may be required to be paid on it. 

Also, benefit of lower cost of funds because of demonetization may not be there in the next few quarters, when withdrawal restriction will go off. Banks are now trying their best to lure it borrowers, specially retails & SMES to take more loans like in 2010-12 periods and this may be one of the concern for future stressed assets (high leverage).

Technically, BNF (LTP: 18830) now need to sustain over 19000-19200 area for further rally towards 20350-20650; otherwise will come down again towards 18000-17600 level.
