“This is a great move by SEBI to create clear distinct categories of products and more transparency for clients by selecting appropriate benchmarks. This helps in reflecting the true performance of the strategy. For eg A multi asset or hybrid strategy that is compared to equity benchmarks might grossly outperform in bear market and underperform in a bull market, therefore misrepresenting the strategy performance. Having relevant benchmarks helps in fair evaluation of the strategy. A Hybrid fund managers true performance can be best observed by comparing it to a hybrid benchmark. SEBI evolving its reporting norms for PMS is a step in the right direction.”

US stocks extend losses as recession fears weigh
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 35.76 points, or 0.11%, at the open to 33,166.46.

“Volatility in the market this week was dictated by the release of favourable inflation numbers, which were offset by major global central bank’s aggressive decisions. US CPI inflation eased to 7.1% in November, while India’s retail inflation eased sharply to 5.88%, which was within the RBI’s tolerance band. However, the Fed startled the market by maintaining its hawkish tone, as investors were expecting a softer approach after the release of better-than-expected inflation numbers. Following the Fed, BOE and ECB raised their interest rate by 50bps while maintaining their hawkish stance in combating inflation. While the selloffs were broad-based, IT stocks dragged in the domestic market as recession fears boomed in the global economies. Lack of major triggers will push the domestic market to follow its global peers, in the coming week”

Tech View: Nifty charts blinking red. What traders should do next week
: Indicating a sell-on-rise mood in the market, the headline equity index Nifty on Friday formed a bearish candle with a long upper shadow on the daily chart. Now till it holds below 18350, weakness could be seen towards 18081 and 18000 zones, whereas hurdles are placed at 18350 and 18442 zones, said Chandan Taparia of Motilal Oswal.Options data suggests a shift in a trading range between 18000 to 18600 zones while an immediate range between 18100 to 18500 zones.Fear gauge index India VIX was up by 2.48% from 13.73 to 14.07 levels.

Domestic equities slipped into negative territory following US Fed hawkish commentary and weakness in global markets. Nifty open gap down and declined for third consecutive day to close with loss of 146 points (-0.8) at 18269 levels. Broader market too saw some selling pressure with Nifty midcap 100 down 1.6% while smallcap 100 down 0.6%. All sectors ended in red with PSU bank down more than 3%. Markets seems to have taken pause after making new highs with Nifty down by 3% in last few. Markets are likely to remain in consolidative range due to lack of triggers in the near term. Also lower participation from institutional investors due to upcoming year-end holidays would keep the markets lackluster. Though investors would keep eye on US Home Sales and GDP (QoQ) numbers to be released next week. On sectorial front, sugar stocks are likely to remain in lime light on after news reported, government might consider increasing sugar export quota for the current 2022-23. However, some selling might be seen in Banking stock especially in PSU banks on account of profit booking after the sharp rally in last few months.

Institutional bids in IRCTC OFS strong; is it worth buying for retail investors?
The discount offered in the OFS does make it a compelling investment opportunity, but money managers don’t think so purely because of the valuation. IRCTC stock trades at 61.6 times its trailing 12 month earnings, according to Trendlyne. Year-to-date, shares of IRCTC have fallen 17% and is the only one within the railway PSU space to give negative returns. But, the stock tripled in value in 2021, giving the best-ever returns to investors.

While offering little or no visibility on the upside prospects for the last few days, we had been systematically pointing towards the extent of downsides that were to follow. We would soon be entering the 18,300-100 band which we had marked down yesterday. This region has the potential to either cool down the nerves, or to set off a powerful plunge that could revive talks of 16,800 again. However, the favoured view expects a pull back towards 18,480-520 region first, performance at which region would be crucial for setting further moves. A collapse is not the most favoured outcome though.

There is a near term risk aversion in global equity markets. Following the 50 bp rate hike and hawkish message from the Fed on 14th the ECB and BoE also hiked rates on 15th by 50 bp each and delivered, perhaps, a more hawkish message than the Fed. Other central banks like the Swiss National Bank and Bank of Thailand also have raised rates. This synchronised rate hiking cycle has impacted sentiments leading to sharp cuts of more than 3% in Nasdaq, CAC and DAX. India is likely to be less impacted by the bearish trend but investors can wait for the global markets to stabilise before making fresh commitments in this overvalued market. Moving some money to fixed income makes sense since fixed income returns are turning attractive.
