Market breadth favours declines, advance-decline ratio at 1:2
“After the recent 10% rally, the market has turned sideways with a negative bias due to increase in commodity prices, tightening monetary policy and inflationary pressure. The domestic market is showing strong resilience but to sustain the trend a lot will depend on the outcome of the war & commodity prices. Ease in Covid restrictions in India is a boost for sectors like hospitality, multiplex, transportation etc, leading to the outperformance”

CLOSING BELL: Sensex slips for 3rd day, sheds 233 points
The Indian equity markets continue to be in a grind, influenced by and reacting to incremental news flow on the global front, especially related to the geopolitical situation and Fed rhetoric. The two key challenges and monitorables for the markets in the near term are the persistent inflationary pressures and the rising bond yields. A prolonged geopolitical situation and elevated prices will gradually start weighing on demand and profitability and can lead to a cut in growth and earnings estimates. Also, the recent rise in bond yields can have implications for flows and equity valuations. With the markets having pulled back sharply in the past couple of weeks, one can look at creating small liquidity, as the uncertainty and volatility are likely to continue for some more time with too many moving parts, providing intermittent opportunities”.

- India is considering restrictions on sugar exports for the first time in six years and may cap exports at around 8 million tonnes in an effort to prevent domestic prices surging, government and industry sources told Reuters.
- Any curbs on exports by the world’s second biggest sugar exporter could lift global sugar prices that have been supported by lower output in top producer Brazil and firm crude oil prices, which encourages mills to produce more sugarcane-based ethanol.

I believe that many of the new tech companies do not even have a robust business model. We would stay away from that. It is not that we are blind to the disruption but we also do not want to get caught into overplaying of this disruption theme. Sometimes I feel markets have overplayed disruption. As an investor our job is to make money from a risk reward point of view and not to be part of every party and just hang around there. So we have stayed away and I still think that there is froth and I still do not think they have got a clear big time. We will watch out.

Airtel prepays Rs 8,815 cr towards deferred liabilities for 2015 spectrum
- Telecom operator Bharti Airtel on Friday said it has paid Rs 8,815 crore to the government towards part prepayment of deferred liabilities pertaining to spectrum acquired in the 2015 auction.
- The prepayment is for instalments due in FY2027 and FY2028, the Sunil Mittal-led telco said in a statement.
- Over the last four months, Airtel has cleared Rs 24,334 crore of its deferred spectrum liabilities ahead of schedule.
The 17000-17500 range for Nifty is likely to hold for the near term with a possible breakout above the upper band coming early in April triggered by positive news from the earnings season. The bullish undertone of the market is evident from the fact that inspite of lots of unfavorable developments Nifty is up by 2.5% in March so far and India is outperforming most of the markets. A hawkish Fed, spiking crude and uncertainties associated with the war haven’t diminished the enthusiasm of the bulls. The trend of preference for value over growth is evident in the strong performance of stocks like RIL and ITC and the weak performance of stocks like Britannia and HUL. This trend is likely to continue.
