Mumbai: The rupee slipped 1 paisa to an all-time low of 84.40 against the US dollar in early trade on Wednesday, as persistent <keyword id="20520117" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="foreign-fund-outflows" source="keywords">foreign fund outflows</keyword> and a muted trend in domestic equities weighed on the local unit. Forex traders said the USDINR pair has shown significant volatility in recent sessions, with the rupee inching closer to its all-time low of 84.40. This downward pressure is largely driven by global factors, particularly the Dollar Index's strengthening. At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 84.40 against the greenback, registering a fall of 1 paisa over its previous close. On Tuesday, the rupee fell 1 paisa to a new lifetime low of 84.39 against the US dollar. "It appears that the rupee has established support around the current levels, with depreciation limited near 84.50," CR Forex Advisors MD Amit Pabari said. Pabari further added that the RBI stands tall as the depreciation in the rupee seems to be limited as the <keyword id="19899810" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Reserve-Bank-of-India" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Reserve Bank of India" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Reserve Bank of India">Reserve Bank of India</keyword> (RBI) continues to sell the dollars to protect the sharp depreciation. "For the 5th consecutive week, India's forex reserves declined, possibly due to RBI selling the dollars. Currently, the forex reserves of India stand at USD 682 billion down from the recent all-time high of USD 704 billion," he said. Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading lower by 0.04 per cent at 105.98. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose 0.25 per cent to USD 72.07 per barrel in futures trade. On the domestic equity market front, Sensex was trading 210.66 points, or 0.27 per cent lower, to 78,464.52 points. The Nifty fell 100.45 points, or 0.42 per cent, to 23,783.00 points. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers in the capital markets on Tuesday, as they offloaded shares worth Rs 3,024.31 crore, according to exchange data. On the macroeconomic front, retail inflation breached the Reserve Bank's upper tolerance level, soaring to a 14-month high of 6.21 per cent in October mainly on account of rising food prices. Inflation based on the consumer price index (CPI) was 5.49 per cent in September and 4.87 per cent in the year-ago month. India's industrial production expanded by 3.1 per cent in September after recording a contraction in the preceding month, as all three major segments -- mining, manufacturing, and power generation -- showed improvement. However, the growth in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) during the month was lower than 6.4 per cent registered in September 2023.

Rupee falls 1 paisa to all-time low of 84.40 against US dollar in early trade

In early Wednesday trading, the Indian rupee slid 14 paise to hit an all-time low of 84.23 per US dollar, weighed down by continued outflows of foreign funds and a robust US dollar in global markets. Forex analysts highlighted the volatility stemming from the ongoing US elections, suggesting that stability could return once results are clear in this close race. The US Federal Reserve is also on the radar, with an anticipated interest rate cut this week and a projected easing of up to 100 basis points by 2025. At the interbank forex market, the rupee opened at its historic low of 84.23 against the dollar, down from its previous close of 84.09. On Tuesday, the currency had ended slightly stronger, gaining 2 paise. Meanwhile, the dollar index, which tracks the strength of the US dollar against six major currencies, climbed 1.64% to 105.11. According to Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury at Finrex Treasury Advisors, the index rose following initial election results showing former President Trump ahead, with the Republican party also leading in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The global oil market saw movement as Brent crude prices dipped 0.98%, trading at USD 74.79 per barrel. Bhansali noted that the rupee’s trajectory will heavily depend on the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) response, particularly as the currency fluctuates with real-time election outcomes. He estimated an intra-day trading range between 84.00 and 84.35. On the domestic front, Indian stock markets showed positive trends. The Sensex climbed by 390.93 points (0.49%) to reach 79,867.56, while the Nifty rose by 135.60 points (0.56%) to 24,348.90. Despite these gains, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were net sellers on Tuesday, pulling out Rs 2,569.41 crore from the capital markets, as per stock exchange data. This withdrawal underscores the challenges facing the Indian currency amid global financial uncertainties. (with PTI inputs)

Escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and outflows by foreign investors may further pressurise the domestic unit," said Anuj Choudhary - Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas. However, a weak US dollar and declining crude oil prices may support the rupee at lower levels. Any intervention by the Reserve Bank may also benefit the rupee, Choudhary added. Traders may take cues from US ISM services PMI data. Investors may watch out for the <keyword id="19899808" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rbi" source="keywords">RBI</keyword>'s monetary policy decision this week. USD/INR spot price is likely to trade in a range of Rs 83.60 to Rs 84.20, Choudhary said. In the domestic equity market, the 30-share BSE Sensex tanked 2,222.55 points, or 2.74 per cent, to settle at 78,759.40 points, and Nifty dropped 662.10 points, or 2.68 per cent, to 24,055.60 points. Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, dropped 0.65 per cent to 102.54. Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, fell 1.91 per cent to USD 75.34 per barrel. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers in the capital markets on Friday as they offloaded shares worth Rs 3,310.00 crore, according to exchange data.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 522.30 crore on Monday, according to exchange data. Global oil benchmark Brent crude climbed 0.48 per cent to USD 87.84 a barrel. "Profit-taking may come into play due to excessive optimism, subdued US market close in overnight trades, and FIIs turning net sellers in Monday's positive session," <keyword id="20226500" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="prashanth-tapse" source="keywords">Prashanth Tapse</keyword>, Senior VP (Research), <keyword id="21163359" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mehta-equities-ltd" source="keywords">Mehta Equities Ltd</keyword>, said in his pre-opening market comment.

They offloaded stocks worth ₹94,017 crore in October, data made available by National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) showed. In June, July, August, and September, they bought stocks worth ₹26,565 crore, ₹32,365 crore, ₹7,320 crore, and ₹57,724 crore, respectively. FPIs had fuelled the bull run in the stock market, barring the latest slump. As per definition, Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) involves an investor buying foreign financial assets. Sensex has fallen from its all-time high of 85,978 points to now trading at 79,389 points. The recent sessions have been bearish for the indices, attributable to fund outflows and lower-than-expected Q2 earnings of India Inc. On Thursday, the Sensex settled at 79,389.06 points, down 553.12 points or 0.69 per cent, while the Nifty closed at 24,205.35 points, down 135.50 points or 0.56 per cent. "We expect the consolidation to continue in the short term; a reversal in trend will depend on a slowdown in FIIs selling intensity and the outcome of the US presidential election," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services, recently. Interestingly, at a time when overseas investors were net sellers in Indian equities, domestic institutional investors stayed net buyers, largely making up for the outflows by foreign investors. They accumulated stocks worth thousands of crores more than FPIs in October, data showed. This has likely cushioned the stock indices from a sharp fall. With inputs from ANI.

Sensex, Nifty close lower amid massive selling in heavyweight stocks, mixed global cues

Bloodbath on the D-Street entered its fifth straight day today, with <keyword id="19896381" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nifty" source="keywords">Nifty</keyword> dipping by 218 points to close the day at 24,180.80, much below the 25,000-mark. <keyword id="19896382" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sensex" source="keywords">Sensex</keyword> also dropped a massive 662 points to close the week at 79,402.29 points. Notably, this was the worst weekly run experienced by the markets over the last 14 months. Clearly, the markets are not in the mood to embrace the impending festivities. Only 12 out of 50 stocks on the Nifty50 advanced today, while the other 38 declined. It was no different on the BSE, where an astounding 3,101 stocks slipped during the day, while just 841 inched up. Smallcaps bore the biggest brunt of this drawdown, with the smallcap 100, 50, 250, and microcaps each sliding by over 2% during the day. Amidst sectors, media, metal, PSU banks, consumer durables, and oil and gas skidded over 2% each today. Gaurav Garg, Research Analyst at Lemonn Markets Desk, explains that on a weekly basis, benchmarks had recorded five consecutive daily losses. Markets appear oversold, with RSI (Relative Strength Index) falling to 27 levels, its lowest in more than a year. Persistent foreign outflows with a record ~97000 crores so far in October, along with disappointing <keyword id="23378466" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Q2-earnings" source="keywords">Q2 earnings</keyword>, have led to sharp valuation corrections in stocks with high multiples as investors adjust their expectations for future growth. Per media reports, investors saw their wealth diminish by a massive Rs 6.80 lakh crore today, largely due to a sharp, 18% dip in the shares of <keyword id="19901053" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="IndusInd-Bank" source="keywords">IndusInd Bank</keyword> and uncontrolled exodus of <keyword id="19900795" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="foreign-investors" source="keywords">foreign investors</keyword>. Reportedly, IndusInd Bank reported a 40% decline in its net profits for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. "Another major factor contributing to this dip is disappointing earnings reports from Indian companies, especially in the consumption sector, which signal an economic slowdown, particularly in urban consumption," Santosh Meena, Head of Research at Swastika Investmart, said. Mahindra &amp; Mahindra, Larsen &amp; Toubro, NTPC, Adani Ports, Tata Steel, Maruti, Bajaj Finance and Titan were also among the laggards. "Markets continued its downward trajectory as a broader selloff pulled down key benchmarks with Sensex ending below the crucial 80k mark. The dismal Q2 earnings so far has aggravated the investors' woes while persistent <keyword id="21360658" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="FII-selling" source="keywords">FII selling</keyword> continued to create havoc in the market," said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd. On October 24, 2024, i.e. yesterday, foreign investors offloaded a massive Rs 5,062.45 worth of equities, while domestic investors remained net buyers, purchasing around Rs 3,620.47 crore worth of shares. Thus far in October, foreign investors have pulled out a record Rs 97,205.42 crore from Indian markets. Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities expects that the "market sentiment will continue to be weighed down by weaker-than-expected Q2FY25 earnings prints and continued weak commentary. FPI flows are expected to remain volatile in the days to come". "Indian equity markets corrected sharply this week as FII continued with selling in Indian markets. Benchmark indices (Nifty 50 and Sensex 30) declined between 2-3% this week. The midcap and the <keyword id="20187540" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="smallcap-stocks" source="keywords">smallcap stocks</keyword> witnessed selling pressure. As a result, the BSE Midcap and the BSE Smallcap indices underperformed the larger peers and were down between 5-8% on a weekly basis. All the sectoral indices ended the week in the red with multiple indices seeing a weekly fall in excess of 6%", added Chouhan Per Chouhan, in the coming weeks, key events that will determine the market's course of action include the US elections and the US FOMC meet. Stock specific action will continue based on Q2FY25 financial performance and management commentary. Garg also anticipates that in the near term, the markets will trade rangebound. Market veteran Raamdeo Agrawal, who heads Motilal Oswal Financial Services, called the ongoing <keyword id="22528556" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="market-downturn" source="keywords">market downturn</keyword> the "healthiest possible correction".

Massacre continues on Sensex and Nifty as foreign investors withdraw Rs 97,205.42 crore in October

It was an all-red show on both the bourses today, with Sensex tanking 941.88 points to close the day at 78,782.24 points. <keyword id="19896381" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="nifty" source="keywords">Nifty</keyword> followed suit, dipping around 309 points to close at 23,995.35 points, hitting a 4-month low. <keyword id="20110975" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india-vix" source="keywords">India VIX</keyword>, which gauges volatility and fear prevalent in the market, rose by over 5% during the day. Out of the 50 stocks in Nifty, 42 declined during the day, while 8 advanced. A similar bloodbath was seen on Sensex, which saw only 6 of its constituents inch up today, while another 24 dipped by as much as 3%. Says Aditya Gaggar, Director of Progressive Shares, “The bears dominated today's trade. In the opening trade itself, the index breached its psychological support of 24,000 with ease and continued to trade lower; however, in the last trading session, a meaningful recovery was seen that helped the index to settle the trade at 23,995.35 points.”. “All the sectors ended the day in red, with <keyword id="20304716" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="realty" source="keywords">Realty</keyword> (down by 2.93%) and Energy (down by 2.48%) being corrected the most. In the broader markets, the disparity was observed where the midcap moved in line with the frontline index while small-caps underperformed.” Amidst broader indices, the midcap 100 fell by 1.26%, while the smallcap 100 index dipped by 1.97%. Other smallcap indices, specifically the smallcap 50 index, fell by over 2% today. Clearly, the markets are on tenterhooks ahead of the US presidential election results due tomorrow and the US Fed’s meeting, scheduled for November 7, 2024. While it remains too close a call to declare anyone a straight winner at the moment, polls suggest that <keyword id="19918985" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="donald-trump" source="keywords">Donald Trump</keyword> is ahead of <keyword id="20307089" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="kamala-harris" source="keywords">Kamala Harris</keyword> in all 7 swing states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin). Both <keyword id="19906203" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="trump" source="keywords">Trump</keyword> and <keyword id="19919589" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="harris" source="keywords">Harris</keyword> are set to close their campaigns today with rallies in Pennsylvania. It is largely believed that results in these states will be instrumental in deciding who makes it to the White House this time around. The FII exodus and weak corporate Q2 earnings are further pushing the Indian market down. In November so far, FIIs have offloaded Rs 211.93 crore in the cash segment Indian markets. DIIs (domestic institutional investors), which had been net buyers in October, making purchases worth Rs 1,07,254.68 crore, also turned net sellers during the first 4 days of November, selling off Rs 377.33 crore in the cash segment so far Says Lemonn’s Gaurav Garg, “From a fundamentals perspective, Indian market outlook in the short term remains weak as Q2 earnings disappointed while valuations are still not in an attractive zone despite the ~8% climbdown from all-time highs hit in late September. On a 12-month forward P/E basis, Nifty 50 is still trading at 21.2x, at about 15.7% premium to its 10-year average of 18.3x. FII selling remained a key factor even after record outflows of 1.14 lakh crores in October. Global markets are bracing for volatility post-US elections, and we are seeing the impact of these safe haven flows ahead of the event.” The Indian markets are also bracing for a 25-basis point rate cut by the <keyword id="19901377" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="us-federal-reserve" source="keywords">US Federal Reserve</keyword> on November 7, 2024. Per the CME Fed Watch, a staggering 98.1% believe that a 25 basis point reduction in interest rates is on the cards. Osho Krishan, Senior Analyst, Technical &amp; Derivatives, Angel One Ltd. notes that the US election, which is due in a day, is likely to raise the volatility bar and needs to be tracked closely for the intermediate trend analysis. “For now, one must stay light on positions as India VIX heads northward to the 17-odd zone and maintain a stock-centric approach," he adds.
