Equity indices failed to hold on to their gains in see-saw trade on Tuesday, ending in the red for the third straight session despite a tentative recovery in global equites. The rupee too bounced back from historic lows, but the overall sentiment remained risk-averse amid concerns over economic recovery in a high interest rate scenario.

Markets are witnessing volatile swings as various factors like rising interest rates, concerns over slower economic growth and further tightening measure in China continued to weigh on investors. Nifty has corrected sharply by 6.5% in the last 7 trading sessions. While the secondary market is struggling with volatility, we are witnessing lot of action in the primary market. LIC IPO was oversubscribed 2.95x despite being one of the largest fund raise ever in India. Also we saw strong listing of Campus Activewear on Monday. Three more IPO are lined up this week with Prudent Corporate Advisory Services ipo opened on 10th while Delhivery and Venus Pipes and Tubes opening on 11th May.

Despite volatility in markets and fear around macros both globally and locally, it is good trend to see continues positive flows in equities. Though lower than last month which may be due to NFO allotment, SIP flows are holding strong which is also very positive. It will be interesting to see ongoing investment trends given the intensity of volatility being very high, I do expect positive trend to continue going forward though.
Nifty settled lower at the end of a volatile session. The weakness remained intact as the benchmark index has continued to remain below the important short term moving average. Besides, the daily RSI is in the bearish crossover. The trend is likely to remain bearish as long as the Nifty fails to move above 16400. On the lower end, Nifty may move down towards 16100/15900 over the short term.

LIC IPO: Grey market premium tumbles 90% from high
As the much buzzed initial public offering (IPO) of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) closed for subscription on Monday, demand for its shares in the grey market nosedived. In the unofficial market, shares of LIC were exchanging hands at a minuscule premium of Rs 8-10 per share over the issue price, which is 90 per cent below the premium of Rs 100-105 per share it was commanding a week earlier.
We reiterate our bearish stance on the markets, in absence of any positive trigger. Participants shouldn’t read much into a single-day rebound and wait for some decisive reversal signal. Besides, stability on the global front is equally critical for any sustained move. Meanwhile, since most of the sectors are trading under pressure, the focus should be on stock selection and using intermediate rebound to create shorts.

Samco Sec on Delhivery IPO: Avoid
The Indian logistics business is poised for tremendous expansion, and Delhivery, with its focus on the fast-growing e-commerce market, has promising growth potential ahead of it. Although the company’s revenues are increasing at a rapid pace, the company’s EBITDA and cash flow from operations remains negative. We expect that the company will continue to experience increasing cost pressures, at least in the short term, due to rising fuel costs. In addition, the issue looks to be sharply valued at a price-to-sales ratio of 5.5x of annualised FY22 revenue, when compared to its listed peers. Considering the current increasing interest rate environment, where valuations of high growth companies across the globe are taking a beating, Delhivery’s expensive valuation is concerning. So we have an AVOID rating for this IPO.

A weakening rupee despite forex swaps by the Central Bank failed to lift IT stocks even after good deal wins and management commentary post-earnings. FMCG stocks saw investor interest today as Bulls attempted to halt the famous adage – Sell in May & Go Away. The Metal Index however played spoilsport for the Bulls and dropped over 5% today in Afternoon Trade led by Aluminium & Steel. The Indices in no way represented the damage done today in the broader markets with the Advance-Decline ratio describing the weak undertone.

Rupee consolidated in a narrow range after falling to fresh all time lows yesterday. Broader strength in the dollar against its major crosses kept the rupee weighed down. On the domestic front focus will be on the CPI number and a higher number could cap gains for the currency. From the US, market participants will be keeping an eye on the CPI number that will be released tomorrow.
