All that happened in markets today

MARKET COMMENT | Satish Kumar, Sr Research Analyst, Choice Broking

Despite weak global and domestic cues, benchmarks traded in positive territory throughout the day and ended with a gain of 0.6 per cent as value buying emerged in banking and auto stocks. Globally, markets witnessed sell-off as US designated Beijing a currency manipulator, escalating a protracted trade war between the world's two biggest economies. Value buying can sustain for few more sessions given the oversold position on domestic equity and highly likelihood of 25-50 bps repo rate cut by the RBI on tomorrow.

Goldman Sachs sees no trade deal before 2020 U.S. election, now expects 3 rate cuts

Goldman Sachs said it no longer expects the United States and China to agree on a deal to end their prolonged trade dispute before the November 2020 presidential election as policymakers from the world’s largest economies are “taking a harder line”.

The bank now expects two back-to-back rate cuts from the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) “in light of growing trade policy risks, market expectations for much deeper rate cuts, and an increase in global risk related to the possibility of a no-deal Brexit”.

 

The comment on U.S.-China trade and a revision to Fed expectations came after U.S. President Donald Trump said last week he would impose a 10% tariff on $300 billion of Chinese imports from Sept. 1, further aggravating trade tensions with Beijing.

ICICI Securities on Mangalore Refinery & Petrochem

The merger discussions between Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals (MRPL) and HPCL (Hindustan Petroleum) have been at an ongoing stage for a long time but no decision is yet to be taken. Clarity on the valuations and merger ratio is important and still awaited. On the business front, MRPL has capex plans for two major projects for further expansion of its capacity from 15 MMTPA to 18 MMTPA and upgradation of refinery to meet BS-VI norms. However, taking into account the subdued operational performance and its impact on medium-term profitability, we value the stock at 5x FY21E EV/EBITDA multiple to arrive at a target price of Rs 50.
