Sensex Today Live: Indian shares began the week on a tepid note on Monday, dragged by metal stocks due to demand worries and weaker sentiment in global markets. The Nifty metals index fell 1.2% as iron ore and steel prices tumbled on fears of a slump in demand for commodities. Meanwhile, Asian share markets started cautiously on Monday as a run of soft U.S. data suggested downside risks for this week’s June payrolls report, while the hubbub over possible recession was still driving a relief rally in government bonds.

Technology Preview: Q1 dragged by margin and cross currency headwinds, says MOSL
- Our IT Services coverage universe should witness modest median USD revenue growth in 1QFY23E (up 3.3% CC QoQ and 14.3% YoY). EBIT/PAT growth (-1.0%/ -2.8% QoQ) should see further pressure due to wage hikes and continued supply side pressure despite depreciation in INR against USD.
- We would be watchful for any moderation in demand commentary. We expect initial signs of impact in sectors like Retail and Manufacturing in Q1. Reported USD growth will be hit by 1-2% due to significant appreciation in EUR/GPB against USD during Q1.
- While the long term demand environment remains unaltered, we anticipate impact in H2FY23 and FY24 due to elevated inflation and slowdown in macro- economic growth in both US and Europe and are trimming our FY23/24 INR EPS numbers by 2-5% despite 300-400bps positive impact from lower INR (79/USD).
STOCK IN FOCUS: ADANI PORTS
HDFC Bank Q1 update
- Advances rise 21% YoY to Rs 13.95 lakh crore
- Deposits rise 19% YoY to Rs 16.05 lakh crore
Market movements this month are likely to be significantly influenced by the Q1 results starting with TCS’s results on 8th July. More than the actual numbers, the market will be focussed on the guidance. Similarly, in financials particularly banking, the market will be keen to know the trends in credit growth rather than the decline in treasury income, which is already known. The buoyancy in GST collections and June auto numbers indicate that economic recovery is gaining momentum, in spite of many headwinds, and this bodes well for the market’s performance in H2 FY23.In the present context of high near-term uncertainty, the best strategy for investors would be to buy high-quality large-caps in a calibrated manner and wait with patience.
