Denied ticket for the October 5 Haryana Assembly polls, ruling BJP legislator from Ratia reserve assembly constituency Lakshman Dass Napa has quit the party. Napa, in a letter to state party chief Mohan Lal Badoli, shortly after the BJP put out the first list of 67 candidates for the polls, said he was quitting the party and resigning from its primary membership. From Ratia, the party has fielded former Sirsa MP Sunita Duggal.

«But structurally, some of these downstream and upstream companies are shifting their business model towards the renewable energy side and which is what makes them attractive. So, any kind of a weakness there should be used as an opportunity to look at some of these names,» says Pankaj Pandey, Head Research, ICICIdirect.com. Let us first talk about the oil sensitives because they are the one which sort of really held the market in place yesterday. I mean be it paint companies, OMCs, all of them a bunch. But do you think that this was just a knee-jerk reaction because crude has been seeing a steady decline for past three months now? Pankaj Pandey: On the crude oil front, volatility is going to be there because ahead of US elections, largely if you look at, both the candidates are at extreme positions in terms of the views. But Trump is pitching for nearly three million barrel kind of increase in the oil production. And coupled with the fact that the Chinese economy is not doing so well, which is the largest incremental buyer, I think crude is expected to remain soft. Now, while the marketing margins are expected to prop up given the softness what we have seen in crude, but the refining margins is something which needs to be watched for. But structurally, some of these downstream and upstream companies are shifting their business model towards the renewable energy side and which is what makes them attractive. So, any kind of a weakness there should be used as an opportunity to look at some of these names.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. economists gamed out the potential economic implications of a Republican or Democratic victory in the November elections, cautioning that US GDP faces a hit in the case of a win for Donald Trump. “We estimate that if Trump wins in a sweep or with divided government, the hit to growth from tariffs and tighter immigration policy would outweigh the positive fiscal impulse” from maintaining most tax cuts, Goldman economists including Alec Phillips wrote in a note Tuesday. Gross domestic product would see a peak hit of 0.5 percentage point in the second half of next year in that scenario, with the effects abating in 2026, the Goldman team estimated. They assumed a 20 percentage-point hike in China tariffs under Trump, along with higher duties on auto imports from Mexico and the European Union, and a reduction in immigration that would slow growth in the labor force.
