₹36,000 crore, more than a third of the over ₹90,000 crore GMV projected by Redseer Strategy Consultants for the month-long spree, which kicks off just before Navratri and ends with Bhai Dooj after Diwali. Redseer, which tracks around 100 e-retail platforms and claims to have a fix on 90% of online sales, had forecast in a report released last month that this year’s festive season shopping spree will be the biggest on record, with shoppers expected to spend 20% more than they did during last year’s festival season. So far, Redseer appears to be dead on target.

Harsha Upadhyaya, CIO-Equity, Kotak AMC, says “from a medium- to long-term perspective, we still continue to be quite positive on India from both earnings perspective as well as how markets are expected to behave. However, in the very short term given the kind of strong performance that we have seen and some reversal inflows as well as some red flags that I mentioned, probably markets would kind of show some weakness or consolidate at current level.” Upadhyaya also says that “although the earnings expectations are much higher in the midcap basket, I would say that most of that positiveness is also discounted in terms of valuations. I would say, if the markets go into a correction mode or into a decline, we will probably see more downside volatility on the midcap side rather than the largecap side.” Let us try and get your understanding of the current market movement. How is the market looking to you, talking about a few quarters down the line? Quite bullish from an undertone perspective I would say. However, for the past two months, we have seen some red flags emerging as well as foreign liquidity turning negative. For September and up until now in October, we have seen foreign institutional investors selling about $3 billion worth of Indian equities. We have also seen crude oil moving up beyond $90 per barrel level and monsoon which ended the season with the deficiencies of about 6% or so is also a red flag.

Hong Kong’s leader has cut taxes for some homebuyers and stock traders to boost markets as the city seeks to maintain its reputation as a global financial hub

Congress expressed concern on Wednesday over the economic trends that have come out of a recent RBI bulletin and alleged that the economy has been mismanaged by the BJP-led Centre due to which a vast majority of Indians are suffering. The opposition party also expressed serious concern over the inflationary trends that have remained above the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) threshold level of 4 per cent.

Shashank Srivastava, ED, Maruti Suzuki, says: “I do not think there is any move to push back CNG sales. Clearly, yes, there are measures being announced for a push up for EVs, but it is not really a push down for CNG. CNG is also a very fuel-efficient powertrain fuel and as long as the running cost of CNG is lower compared with gasoline or diesel, we will find a large rate adoption of CNG. In fact, CNG adoption has gone up continuously in the last five years.” First up, let us talk about Navratri which just got over yesterday. How have the sales been because if you go by the newspaper reports,it seems to have been flat this time? Yes. if you look at the actual retail sale, compared with Navratri of last year, they would appear flat. Roughly in the industry, about 2.2 lakh vehicles were retailed last year and similar numbers have emerged this year. However, the exact comparison may be a little misleading because the first three days of Navratri last year were also in the month end. Navratri started last year on 26th of September,. So 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, the first five days of Navratri, also were the month end. Month end normally gives a very big jump in retails as the cases close on the financing side largely and therefore, the last year number would have had that push up.

festive season has sparked a surge in the property market of Mumbai, the country’s financial capital led by positive sentiment among homebuyers.

The state exchequer collected a total revenue of Rs 435 crores from property registrations during this nine-day period.

Hong Kong's leader on Wednesday cut taxes for some homebuyers and stock traders to boost markets as the city seeks to maintain its reputation as a global financial hub. Chief Executive John Lee said the extra stamp duties imposed on non-resident buyers and current local homeowners looking to buy additional properties would be halved, making the first easing over the past decade since property cooling measures were introduced. In his annual policy address, Lee also unveiled plans to reduce stamp duty on stock transactions to 0.1% from 0.13%, saying a vibrant stock market is vital to upholding the city's status as a financial hub. After the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, Hong Kong's economy has begun to recover, fuelled by growth in tourism and private consumption. The city's economy expanded 2.2% in the first half of 2023 year-on-year and is expected to grow between 4% and 5% for the full year. However, the path to full recovery remains uneven, particularly with geopolitics tensions rising and mainland China, its largest trading partner, struggling to rebound quickly.

Rohit Srivastava, Founder & Market Strategist, Indiacharts.com, says “we are right now in the process of taking the 20-week average. Once we do that, once we start staying below the 19,400 mark, which we are doing now for quite a while, then we are headed towards 18,900-18,800. So that is going to be the next level that we are going to be watching out for.” What is your view on the charts? Do you think we could see a further fall for the benchmark indices? My sense is that markets have weakened on daily and weekly timeframes. We are seeing sell signals on momentum indicators for the key indices and what that really means is that we are right now in the process of taking the 20-week average. Once we do that, once we start staying below the 19,400 mark, which we are doing now for quite a while, then we are headed towards 18,900-18,800. So that is going to be the next level that we are going to be watching out for. It possibly could happen in the next couple of days the way it is moving right now. We will watch the current action till Friday or Monday.
