MARKET COMMENT | Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services

"The Indian benchmark indices showcased a strong opening, and although they gave up some of their gains, they still managed to close with a positive bias. Global cues were mostly negative, ahead of expected policy statements by the US Fed Reserve chairman and also due to the ongoing US-China trade tensions. On the domestic front, autos and financials contributed most to the gains after favourable earnings commentary and some earning upgrades prompted investor action. Global markets will react to the Fed Reserve statements, later in the day, and are expected to affect market movements tomorrow."

BROKERAGE VIEW:: Edelweiss Securities on Metals sector

Major domestic players continue to have an edge. If the price hike being contemplated in September-20 comes through, the stocks may rally further. However, it is contingent on international prices and demand; which appear to be reasonably favorable as of date. We reiterate our positive stance on the sector and maintain Tata Steel as the preferred pick in the space (‘BUY/SO’; TP: Rs 500).
