markets Provident Gap Analysis Trade reports rights Regulatory norms on F&O should evolve based on continuous market feedback: Sundararaman Ramamurthy

«Also, risks do not materialise only in weekend. It happens every day. If there is a product to attract global risks on Monday, then if there is something materialising in between, it is a meaningful gap there should be another product,» says Sundararaman Ramamurthy, MD & CEO, BSE. What are the potential risks to the market ecosystem when there is a concentration of trading activity on a single expiry day? Sundararaman Ramamurthy: The regulator gave the option for selecting one expiry day by the exchanges. The regulators absolutely, of course, would have applied their mind for giving this option. NSE opted to continue for Thursday. Based on market feedback, we shifted it to Tuesday. Market feedback had a rationale for it. When you have a common expiry, an existing mature product trades more and no other product can enter in.

markets Extreme Manufacturing Analysis Trade Experts 2020 Nifty valuations at multi-year lows, can fall further in worst-case scenario: Ventura

Nifty 50’s forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio has fallen to multi-year lows, as the ongoing market selloff pushes valuations down sharply. The benchmark index’s P/E for 2025 and 2026 now stands at 18.5x and 16.2x, respectively, marking a significant compression in valuation multiples, brokerage Ventura noted. Historically, Nifty’s forward P/E has seen sharper declines during past market crises, including the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008 and the COVID 19-induced crash of 2020, when valuations dropped to 10.5x and 15x, respectively. The brokerage warned that if corrective mechanisms are not put in place, the current downturn could mirror past collapses.

markets security Remark Trade RAI country cover Trump again slams India as 'high tariff nation' as Modi govt looks to avoid heavy blows

Donald Trump has once again criticised India’s trade policies, calling it a «very high tariff nation» and warning that reciprocal tariffs will come into effect on April 2. Speaking at an Oval Office event on Thursday, Trump described the upcoming levies as «the big one» among the many duties his administration has planned. India is expected to be hit particularly hard by these measures due to its high tariffs compared to the US. The comments come as Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal is in Washington for discussions with Trump administration officials on trade policy between the two nations. Trump, known for his strong stance on trade, has repeatedly accused India of imposing unfair trade barriers that hurt American businesses. He has previously called India the «biggest tariff abuser» and the «tariff king.»

Aswath Damodaran, a professor of finance at New York University. In his latest analysis of global cash return policies, Damodaran found that Indian firms distributed just 31.1% of their earnings in the form of dividends and stock buybacks—far lower than their global peers. While one can argue that this signals a strong reinvestment cycle fueling long-term expansion, it can also be seen as a symptom of weak shareholder rights and management’s reluctance to part with excess cash.

Provident Man Action Remark voice social cricket Pakistani cricket icon Mohammad Hafeez gets slammed by Indian netizens after pics of his meeting with banned preacher Zakir Naik go viral

Zakir Naik, a polarizing Islamic preacher who is facing legal action in India over allegations of financial misconduct and promoting radical ideologies through inflammatory speeches. Hafeez went a step further by uploading images from their encounter on social media, a move that sparked widespread criticism and disappointment among netizens. As soon as the images surfaced online, social media users expressed strong disapproval. One individual, voicing their frustration, sarcastically remarked, «No surprise that your cricket is in shambles.» Another person provided a more pointed critique, highlighting the broader implications of Hafeez’s association with Naik. «This is exactly why the Indian cricket team and government are reluctant to visit Pakistan,» they commented. «The man in your picture is a fugitive wanted by Indian law enforcement.» Despite the backlash, Hafeez had shared the pictures with enthusiasm, captioning them with, «It was a pleasure meeting Zakir Naik.» In one image, Hafeez is seen standing beside Naik, dressed in a traditional brown kurta pajama. Another photograph captures them seated at a restaurant, with Hafeez appearing in a casual T-shirt. However, rather than receiving positive engagement, the post ignited a wave of online outrage.
