The consultation paper floated by SEBI on additional disclosures by FPIs is welcome and can go a long way in bringing transparency in high risk FPI. It is clear that this consultation paper has its genesis in the Adani stocks issue where SEBI couldn’t identify the beneficial owners of some foreign portfolio investments in Adani stocks since the existing regulations are lax in identifying the true owners of many investments. The proposed guidelines are welcome. Stocks where FPI investments are properly disclosed have nothing to worry about.

The full achievement of the 18660 objective quickly prompted a pull back, but the patterns formed thereof do not appear to signal a full blown correction. At Least Not yet. This encourages us to stick with the 19070 trajectory. Minor pull back events are still possible, but they are less likely to be meaningful at least until either 18750 or 18888 is seen. For now, we will have 18575 as the downside marker, with 18530-18430 seen as near side supports.

Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services

Improving economic fundamentals along with sustained FPI buying will help the market to slowly reach new record highs. The GDP data expected today is likely to show FY 24 growth rate to be around 7%. If it comes slightly above 7%, that can further aid the market momentum. FY 24 average CPI inflation is expected at 5.2% and if the monsoon is normal and food inflation under control, the MPC will have the elbow room to cut rates by end 2023. These are emerging positives for the market.FPI flows are now moving more to India, South Korea and Taiwan where growth and corporate earnings prospects are bright. Sustained FPI flows can take the markets higher and into over-valued territory if new Nifty records are set. Some profit booking at new record level can be considered. Aggressive buying at this stage will be risky even in this resilient market.

Markets may see a cautious opening with a slightly negative bias in Wednesday trades amid weak global cues, with sentiments a bit dented on fears that a debt-ceiling deal could be derailed. Vote on the deal to raise the $31.4 trillion debt ceiling could be announced later today. However, the key positive takeaways are Nifty trading at a 5-month high and, most importantly, the sequence of higher highs is intact, while Bank Nifty has scaled fresh all-time-highs, RIL market cap has surged past Rs 17 lakh crore mark. Investors will also keep an eye on the Q4 GDP numbers to be announced later today, which will provide some sense on where the economy is headed in the near to medium term.
