Indian benchmark indices started the week on a positive note, hitting fresh record highs of 16,931. Traders took encouragement as foreign direct investment (FDI) into the country rises. Asian shares perked up and the dollar fell to a two-week low, today after the US Federal Reserve chairman’s speech.

Benchmark indices gained over 1% and closed at fresh record highs amid positive global cues. At close, the Sensex was up 1.36% at 56,889 and the Nifty was up 1.35% at 16,931.

The Nifty Bank Index ended 2.02% at 36,347. Amongst the top gainers were Axis Bank at Rs 784 adding 4.21% followed by RBL Bank at Rs 169 (4.02%), Bandhan Bank at Rs 285 (3.55%), SBI at Rs 422 (2.49%), ICICI Bank at Rs 713 (1.99%), PNB at Rs 36 (1.66%). All major indices ended in the green.

Buzzing stocks

Axis Bank share price gained over 2% as the private lender began issuing debt securities under a Rs 35,000-crore debt raise plan.

The bank said on August 30 it started issuing securities under the debt-raise plan announced earlier this year. The private sector lender’s board had in April approved a capital-raise proposal of up to Rs 35,000 crore by issuing various debt instruments in Indian or foreign currency in domestic/overseas markets in one or more tranches.

Other key takeaways

Q1FY22 GDP prints likely to be released on August 31

India’s April-June quarter (Q1) GDP numbers are likely to show a significant surge owing to the lower base of last year’s first quarter and a rebound in consumer spending post the second wave of COVID-19.

Experts believe that even though May had seen a slowdown due to the lockdowns, there was a sharp recovery in June and that the economic impact of the second wave has been much more muted than the first wave . According to a Reuters poll, the country’s Q1FY22 GDP growth might have touched a new record.

SBI research report Ecowrap suggests that the country’s Q1FY22 GDP is expected to grow at around 18.5 per cent. However, it is lower than the Reserve Bank of India’s GDP growth projection of 21.4 per cent for the June quarter.

Bank of India extends term of P R Rajaqopal as executive director

The company has extended the term of office P R Rajagopal, Execurive Director of Bank for a period of two years beyond his currently notified term which expires on 28.02.2022, or until further orders, whichever is earlier. Bank of India shares rose 0.97% to Rs 68.00.

FPIs net buyers invest Rs 986 cr in equities in August

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) pumped in a net of just Rs 986 crore in Indian equities during August, as cautiousness continued to persist among overseas investors.

According to data from depositories, FPIs bought equities worth Rs 986 crore and invested Rs 13,494 crore in the debt segment during August 2-27. This translated into a total net investment of Rs 14,480 crore.

Gold prices continue to shine

Gold prices rose from a low of USD 1,785.20 on Friday and continued their upward trend on Monday, reaching a high of USD 1826.3 in the early morning session. Gold prices are expected to rise due to a drop in the dollar index and Fed Chair Powell’s dovish tone.

Gold prices are likely to continue solid when trading above the 20-day EMA’s important support level of USD 1797.56, but they may confront significant resistance between USD 1834- USD 1850.

Dollar hit a fresh two-week low

In overnight trade on Wall Street, US stocks surged as US Treasury yields fell on Friday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated the US central bank could begin scaling back its bond buying programme by year-end but did not give a firm timeline. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.69%, the S&P500 index gained 0.88% and the Nasdaq Composite added 1.23%.

Held back by the message from the US Federal Reserve chief that there is no hurry to dial back massive stimulus, the dollar hit a fresh two-week low at 92.595 before steadying around 92.66, still a touch lower on Monday.

Ride-hailing startup Ola has selected banks including Citigroup Inc. and Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd. to manage its Mumbai initial public offering that could raise about $1 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.

The company, backed by SoftBank Group Corp. and Tiger Global Management, has also picked Morgan Stanley for the listing, said the people, who asked not to be named as the information is private. The Bangalore-based startup could seek a valuation of more than $8 billion in the IPO and could lodge a filing as soon as October, one of the people said.

The 11-year-old Ola would be joining a strong pipeline of Indian startups that are ready to tap the IPO market in the coming months. Paytm, the country’s leader in digital payments, Flipkart, the Indian e-commerce giant controlled by Walmart Inc., and digital education startup Byju’s are also preparing for their first-time share sales, Bloomberg News has reported.

Details of Ola’s IPO including size and timeline could still change as deliberations are ongoing, the people said. More banks could be added later, they said. A representative for Citi declined to comment, while representatives for Kotak Mahindra, Morgan Stanley and Ola didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

Ola currently partners with about 1.5 million drivers across 250 cities in India, Australia, New Zealand and the U.K. The Uber Technologies Inc.’s rival in July raised $500 million from investors including Temasek Holdings Pte and an affiliate of Warburg Pincus.

Why You Should Invest In The Latest SGB Series VI?

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Investment

oi-Roshni Agarwal

|

The current SGB issue is priced lower in comparison to other five series that have come up this year. The issue price of the SGB this time is Rs. 4,732 per gm.

Why You Should Invest In The Latest SGB Series VI?

Why You Should Invest In The Latest SGB Series VI?

Now here are given few points as to why you can buy into the current SGB series:

1. There is no upcoming SGB issue:

Sovereign gold bond investment is the best paper gold investment as it other than capital appreciation offers interest pay-out which is payable twice. Also, there is no hassle pertaining to storage cost or theft as in the case of physical gold.

2. Gold helps to diversify your portfolio and hedge against risk from other investments:

Amid geo-political or economic crisis, when there is pressure mounting on equities and other similar assets, gold tends to outperform, this is very well noticed during the last year, when gold yielded good gains.

3. Investments over time can exponentially increase your wealth:

Gold has the power to exponentially increase your wealth and this can be pointed out from the fact that its holding over the years has yielded multi-bagger returns and even beyond 500% in a decade. One may go wrong with equity holdings but never with gold in case of long term investments.

Conclusion:

Now as the Fed tapering is likely due and with it interest rate shall also be hiked, gold will lose its sheen further and hence we see a pressure on gold prices going forward, so the best take can be to partly invest and keep some cash for future allocation to gold as the SGB may be then available at still cheaper rates.

“Gold prices have been trading sideways for the past few days. However, it has recovered much of its losses witnessed in August. Moving forward, gold prices will be guided by the impact of the Delta variant of Covid-19, the geo-political situation in Afghanistan, and most importantly how the Fed signals tapering and manage the rising inflation in the US,” Nish Bhatt, Founder & CEO, Millwood Kane International, which is an investment consulting firm.

Bharti Airtel Rights Issue Details

The Board of Directors approved the issuance of equity shares of the Company with a face value of Rs. 5/- each on a rights basis to eligible equity shareholders of the Company as of the record date in an amount up to Rs. 21,000 Crores.

The Board approved the following terms of the Issue:

(a) Price of the Rights Issue: Rs. 535 per fully paid-up equity share (plus a premium of Rs. 530 per equity share).

(b) Payment terms for the Issue Price: 25% on application, with the remainder paid in two additional calls as determined by the Board/Committee of the Board from time to time based on the Company’s needs over a 36-month period.

(c) Ratio of Rights Entitlement: 1 equity share for every 14 equity shares held by eligible shareholders on the record date.

This capital raise is surprising, according to brokerage company Motilal Oswal, because management has maintained in recent calls that its leverage and liquidity situation is comfortable and self-sustaining, with good FCF creation in all verticals, signalling no extra capital demand.

“The unexpected capital raise may cause a negative reaction in the short term, but we see a good earnings growth opportunity over the next 12 months,” the brokerage said.

The firm has a ‘Buy’ recommendation with a target price of 720 per share on the large-scale opportunity in the next 2-4 quarters, and Bharti Airtel is well-positioned to benefit.

Emkay Global on Bharti Airtel

Emkay Global on Bharti Airtel

After rate hikes and amid the potential of a duopolistic market following major weakening of VIL’s financial position, another brokerage, Emkay Global, claimed in a report on Saturday that Airtel stock had outperformed (by 22-37bps) the Sensex in the last 2-3 years. The stock has a ‘Buy’ rating and a target price of Rs 730.

Jefferies

Jefferies maintained a Buy call with a target price of Rs 685 a share, citing the Rs 21000 crore rights offering as a positive factor. According to the brokerage, the corporation may need funds for 5G auctions in the coming three years.

The issuance, which is priced at a 10% discount to the current market price, rewards existing shareholders and serves as a reminder that standalone FCF creation is weak, according to the company.

CLSA on Bharti Airtel

CLSA on Bharti Airtel

Given the company’s outstanding market share performance, CLSA also maintained a Buy stance with a target price of Rs 780 per share.

Rights Issue and Call options, according to the brokerage, create headroom, keeping gearing comfortable, especially if the government moves on with the 5G spectrum auction.

In order to raise funds, a corporation would issue a rights issue. If current owners agree to purchase extra shares, a firm can use the money to pay off debt, acquire assets, or expand without having to take out a bank loan. Shares of the company were seen trading high by 2.22% at Rs 608 on NSE at 10.13 am IST.

Zomato | Paytm | IPO: What new age tech IPOs mean for the brokerage industry, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


The Indian brokerage industry has had a very good run in the last one year with the stock market booming despite the ongoing Covid-19 crisis. The otherwise trying time saw the onset of two new strong trends in financial markets – the return of the retail investors and companies coming to the primary market with unprecedented force.

These two factors have kept the brokerage sector busy as well as thriving. On its part, broking companies improved their platforms to promote ease of trading with the adoption of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), lowered brokerage fees, and tweaked their offering to suit the needs of new investors.

All these efforts helped the brokerage industry bear fruits and be future ready for the trend that is to stay for a long term. Ratings agency CRISIL estimated broking revenue to have grown around 65-70% during the financial year 2020-21 as against about 7% growth to the previous fiscal. Although the revenue forecast seems dimmer for the current financial year and probably beyond, because of market and regulatory factors, there is no denying that the industry has entered one of its most exciting times.

Riding the IPO boom
What has also ushered in a phase of change for the industry is the launching of initial public offers (IPOs). According to PrimeDatabase, there were 69 public issues which raised Rs 74,707 crore in FY21 and so far, this fiscal, around 24 companies have raised as much as Rs 37,366 crore.

The stock market debut frenzy was triggered by food delivery app Zomato, which raised $1.3 billion from the primary market this year. The owners of fintech apps like Paytm are looking forward to the IPO. The $2 billion public issue is slated to be the largest IPO in India since the Coal India IPO in 2007.
Several other unicorns and interesting start-ups joining the fray include PolicyBazaar, MobiKwik Systems, Nykaa E-Retail, and Delhivery.

There are abundant instances when the IPO mania stretched beyond a point resulting in losses for the investors. Be it the IPO boom of 1992 or the one in 1999 or the IPO boom of 2006-08 which ended with the sub prime crisis.

Time for innovation
The IPO boom is expected to bring many more millennials to the stock market given the value they see in these services companies which are in insurance, food delivery, and ecommerce, things they use on an everyday basis. With the onset of the new-age investors, helped by increased internet penetration and disposable income, the brokerage industry will go through a sea change in terms of use of technology. Already, a new crop of brokerages such as Zerodha have been creating waves in the industry. Existing and traditional brokerage firms too have ensured that they are not left behind in upgrading themselves.

As the industry and its needs evolve, technological innovations will become all the more visible. The innovations will not be restricted to investors looking at the Indian market but also beyond into more matured and bigger markets in the West. Global investments will be another area that will keep brokerages on their toes in the year ahead.

Bumps that can be straightened out
There are opportunities for revenue growth and the brokerage industry is likely to face pressure from the new regulatory changes. Two key implementations that will impact revenue growth are the upfront margin requirement mandated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India from last year and the phased increase in peak margin requirements, which will go up to 100% by September 2021. So even if new client additions bring in more revenue, these requirements would dent full potential. If Sebi were to reconsider its decision on these policies, the brokerage industry would be able to ride high.

How it affects traders, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


From September 1, traders will have to shell out 100 per cent margins upfront for their trades due to the new peak margin norms of Sebi kicking in. Traders taking intra-day positions will be the most impacted since in the earlier system margins were calculated on end-of-the-day basis. Now, margin requirements will be calculated four times every session bringing even intraday positions under the ambit. These changes in the margin norms have created furore amongst traders as they will now have to deploy more cash as margin. ET takes a look at the impact of the new norms on market participants.

WHAT WILL CHANGE FOR TRADERS FROM SEPTEMBER 1?
Traders taking bets on futures and options (F&O) markets will have to shell out higher margin money making these trades more expensive. Essentially, they are required to cough up 100 per cent of margin upfront under the new peak margin norms. These margins would apply even to intra-day positions i.e. the ones where the trader enters and sells the contracts within the same market session. Currently, the upfront margin required is 75 per cent of the total margin. In other words, if a trader wants to buy a Nifty contract worth Rs 10 lakh, the margin at 20 per cent would be around Rs 2 lakh. Until August 30, the upfront margin was only Rs 1.75 lakh.

WHAT IS PEAK MARGIN?
Until last year, margins were collected based on end-of-the-day positions. For example, a client had exposure to Rs 1 crore worth F&O securities as on yesterday and he has taken up further exposure of Rs 1 crore during the current market session. In the old system, traders were not required to pay margin money for the Rs 1 crore additional exposure taken until the end of the session. This benefited the active traders since if the additional exposure taken was sold off by the end of the session, the transaction wouldn’t need any special margin money to be brought in. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) introduced the peak margin system late last year and it was to be implemented in four phases: first phase with 25 per cent peak margin, second phase with 50 per cent peak margin, third phase with 75 per cent peak margin and finally the complete implementation of upfront margin with effect from September 1. Under the peak margin system, the margin requirement is no longer calculated on the basis of end-of-the- day positions. Instead, the exchanges will sample the prices four times every session and the margins would be calculated based on this. So even the intra-day positions will come under margining.

WHY THE CHANGES?
The intention behind the changes was to control the leverage being taken by some of the traders and thereby reduce systemic risks. Many traders were taking extremely risky bets intra-day which were not being captured in the margin system. Brokers used to allow such positions as long as the margin money in their bank accounts was more than total leverage taken at the end of the market session. But now, the margin will be calculated based on the four price samplings of the exchange and during every point of the trading session, the margin money must be adequate or greater than the requirement.

WHY ARE TRADERS ANGRY?
Changes in rules have evoked strong reactions from the trader and broker community since they will have to shell out more money to bet in the futures market. The core of their contention is that intra-day positions will now need upfront margins. Also, if a trader falls short of these margins during the session, he would be liable to pay a penalty. So, if there are any wild price movements and margins of a trader fall short of the requirement, the same will be penalised. Brokers lobby ANMI has made several representations to exchanges, Sebi and the finance ministry seeking relief from these new rules.

Comparison of top bank personal loan rates, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


A personal loan comes in handy when we are short of funds and need the money as soon as possible. A personal loan is an unsecured loan given by a lender. While taking this loan, the potential borrower is not required to provide collateral or security against the loan, unlike in a gold loan where gold jewellery is taken as security by the lender.

Read on to find out more about personal loans.

Where can you avail a personal loan?
While one can approach one’s friends and relatives for a personal loan, lending institutions such as banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) offer personal loans in a more structured and ‘on-tap’ format. Apart from banks like State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank, NBFCs such as Tata Capital, Bajaj Finserv also offer personal loans. As personal loan from one’s friends and relatives may not always be readily available, we shall consider the more structured format of personal loans offered by lending institutions.

Maximum and minimum amount
The minimum and maximum amount that can be taken varies from one lending institution to another. For instance, according to its website, SBI offers a maximum personal loan of Rs 20 lakh to salaried individuals. On the other hand, HDFC Bank offers personal loans up to Rs 12 lakh, as per the bank’s website.

According to Tata Capital’s website, you can take a minimum personal loan of Rs 75,000 and maximum of Rs 25 lakh depending on your eligibility.

Fixed or floating interest rate
While taking a loan, one should check with the lender if the interest rate offered on the personal loan is fixed or floating. In case the interest rate is fixed, changes in the bank’s MCLR will not impact your equated monthly instalment (EMI) amount. Also, do remember that normally the interest rates charged on personal loans are much higher than on home loans or loans against gold because the former are unsecured loans.

Tenure of personal loans
Usually, a personal loan is offered for a maximum of five years by lending institutions such as banks. However, the tenure can vary from lender to lender.

Charges in personal loan
To avail a personal loan, a bank or NBFC will levy certain charges such as processing fees, stamp duty and other statutory charges etc. These charges vary from lender to lender.

Further, a lender can also levy pre-payment charges or pre-closure charges. Therefore, before taking a loan from the lender do check the different types of charges leviable.

The Central Board of Direct Taxes ( CBDT ) has extended the date under section 3 of the Vivad se Vishwas Act. The amount payable by the declarant is provided in the table under section 3 of the Direct Tax Vivad se Vishwas Act 2020.

The last date for payment of the amount (without any additional amount) has been announced as 31st August 2021, according to the most recent notification dated 25th June 2021.

Vivad Se Vishwas Act: CBDT Extends Date Under Section 3

Furthermore, the deadline for payment of the amount (plus any additional amounts) due under the Vivad se Vishwas Act has been set for October 31, 2021.

Given the problems encountered in producing and modifying Form No. 3, which is required for declarant payment under the Vivad se Vishwas Act, it has been agreed to extend the deadline for payment of the amount (without any additional amount) to September 30, 2021. The necessary notification will be sent as soon as possible.

It is clarified, however, that there is no proposal to amend the last date for payment of the sum (with additional amount) under the Vivad se Vishwas Act, which remains October 31, 2021.

The proposal was introduced in the Lok Sabha on February 5, 2020, and was almost immediately recalled for changes to accommodate diverse representations from key stakeholders. Following that, the Cabinet approved a revised scheme, which was then passed by the Lok Sabha on March 4, 2020. A circular released by the Central Board of Direct Taxes addressed many areas of the modified plan that required clarification (CBDT).
