Market View 22th May 2023

View on market: Stay Cautious, be with quality business:

Equity futures for U.S. and Asian stock benchmarks slid while currencies held within tight ranges in a cautious start to trading on Monday as the risk of a debt default in Washington cast a shadow over markets. Contracts for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 dropped about 0.2% after the gauges registered small declines on Friday. Futures for Japanese and Australian shares fell slightly and those for Hong Kong rose marginally. The S&P 500’s drop on Friday halted a two-day rally as it failed to stay above the closely watched level of 4,200. Meanwhile, the yield on 10-year treasuries in U.S. was trading at 3.66%. Crude was above $75-mark, while Bitcoin advanced below 27,000-level. At 5:38 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of the Nifty 50 Index’s performance in India, was down 0.16% at 18,209.5. Domestic benchmark indices snapped a three-day losing streak to end higher, aided by gains in Adani Group stocks as well as technology and information technology stocks. The Indian rupee closed lower against the U.S. dollar for the third straight day as it faced a strong greenback in the overseas market and hardening crude prices.

JEFFERIES ON BANDHAN BK: Maintain Buy, TP Rs.340; Growth in loans & NII was weak, but can improve, Profit aided by fall in credit costs with improved credit quality & collections, NPL formulation normalises down & should stay controlled next year

BOFA ON DIVIS LAB: Maintain Neutral, TP Rs.3,250; Q4 margin lagged expectation given moderation in raw material/freight costs, contribution from a high-margin product and improved operating leverage, Margin does not reflect the revenue growth, Meaningful recovery likely in H2
