LIVE Blog

Equity benchmarks declined on Thursday after a two-day rally, mirroring a weak trend in the US markets and fresh foreign fund outflows.

Weak US consumer data and hawkish comments from the Fed's policymakers dragged markets lower.

The 30-share BSE Sensex declined dropped 187.31 points or 0.31 per cent to settle at 60,858.43. During the day, it tumbled 329.19 points or 0.53 per cent to 60,716.55.

The broader NSE Nifty dipped 57.50 points or 0.32 per cent to end at 18,107.85.

From the Sensex pack, Asian Paints, Tata Motors, IndusInd Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Hindustan Unilever, Titan, UltraTech Cement, Bajaj Finserv, ITC and Nestle were the biggest laggards.

Tata Steel, Power Grid, Tech Mahindra, Axis Bank, HDFC Bank and Larsen & Toubro were among the gainers.

Elsewhere in Asia, equity markets in Tokyo and Hong Kong settled lower, while Seoul and Shanghai ended in the green.

European benchmarks were trading in the red during mid-session deals. Markets in the US had ended lower on Wednesday.

"Domestic indices snapped their previous gains amid negative sentiments from their global counterparts. Weak US consumer data and hawkish comments from the Fed's policymakers on Wednesday hammered investor risk appetite. Lingering fears of recession dragged global bourses down, leaving the market volatile," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers in the capital markets on Wednesday as they offloaded shares worth Rs 319.23 crore, according to exchange data.

International oil benchmark Brent crude declined 0.68 per cent to USD 84.40 per barrel.

While NIM stood at 4.27% for the quarter, management re-iterated prior guidance of 415-425 bps: The relatively conservative guidance is likely a tacit acknowledgement that liability retailisation is still work-in-progress. Share of LCR retail deposits is still 42.4%, which is materially lower than key private sector peers. Cost of deposits jumped 37 bps QoQ in a sign of things to come, with management conceding there could be a similar rise in 4Q. What saved the day from NIM was a 151 bps rise in loan-to-deposit ratio to 83.9%, a non-structural factor aiding margin, says Yes Securities

Protection continues of be an area of healthy growth, with retail protection also growing on sequential basis: Total Protection APE has grown 22.7% YoY in 9MFY23 with its share reaching 19.7% in total APE. It is true that sequential momentum in retail protection has come from ROP but there has been a sequential pick up in retail protection even without ROP. There are no supply side issues or demand side weakness and it is just that the distribution network is still getting used to changes to under-writing norms, which is a big shift in terms of how Protection is being sold, brokerage Yes Securities said

Going forward, IPRU will not be dependent mainly on VNB margin for VNB growth: There is a long way to go in terms of enhancing the activity and capacity of non-ICICI Bank partners. Further, IPRU is also working on whom to pitch for in terms of new partnerships. There has also been an investment in the agency network, which takes 1-2 years to have impact. In FY24, topline will be the main driver for VNB growth with VNB margin being stable to higher. IPRU can grow VNB in line with VNB for the sector, which implies 15-20% compounded growth for VNB, brokerage Yes Securities said

LIVE Updates | Indian Union Budget 2023-24 Expectations: Govt must renew focus on enhancing infrastructure, says Zoomcar

The automobile sector has been through numerous ups and downs in recent years. In this year's Union Budget, the government must renew its focus on enhancing infrastructure to make the production and usage of EVs and EV-related features, like charging stations, easier. The best alternative and most plausible solution for those seeking eco-friendly and sustainable commute options, apart from EVs, would be to rent cars. The government must encourage people to make sustainable choices when it comes to commuting. Renting an EV would be ideal for a majority of the population that wishes to own a car without the commitment and additional costs. We are hoping for the car rental sector to grow further and this progress is significantly reliant on the budget, said Greg Moran, CEO and CoFounder at Zoomcar

Diversification across products and regions are strategic priorities of Bandhan Bank. This would transform its business model to be more scalable and sustainable. For this, the bank reinforced its top management, hiring professionals from various private banks. A combination of deepening product penetration and branch penetration across states would drive a 21% loan CAGR over FY23-25. With asset quality issues likely to be peaked out in H2FY23 earnings are expected to normalize thereafter, says brokerage Anand Rathi
