Market Live: Sensex, Nifty flat amid US-China trade tensions; Brent crude below $73/bbl



Asian shares declined amid escalation in US-China trade tensions, as oil extended losses.


Listing Post Demerger: Adani Green Energy fell 5 percent to Rs 28.50 from its opening level on the National Stock Exchange.

The stock price has opened at Rs 30 while its previous close stood at Rs 151.45 on the exchange.

It corrected more than 81 percent from its previous close.

Last year, Adani Enterprises demerged its renewable energy business into associate company Adani Green Energy, to simplify the business structure.

Adani Green Energy issued equity shares at par on a proportionate basis to the shareholders of Adani Enterprises. "761 fully paid up equity shares of Adani Green Energy issued and allotted for every 1000 fully paid up equity shares held in Adani Enterprises."


Rupee Update: The rupee weakened by 15 paise to hit a fresh three-week low of 68.16 against the US dollar in opening trade today but it cut down losses to 4 paise at 68.04 a dollar, pressured by appreciation of the American currency overseas amid sustained foreign capital outflows.
Forex dealers said the dollar's rise towards a seven-month high against a basket of its peers, as investors absorbed the escalation in trade tensions between the US and China, weighed on the rupee. However, a higher opening in the domestic equity market capped the losses.
The rupee had closed below the key 68-mark to end at 68.01 against the US currency in the previous session on Friday after the country's trade deficit widened more than expected amid renewed global trade war fears.
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) sold shares worth a net Rs 1,524.74 crore on Friday, provisional data released by stock exchanges showed.




TCS at Record High: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) continued to trade at fresh record high after it announced a buyback of up to Rs 16,000 crore on Friday which most brokerages think was a bit lower than expectations and is slightly negative on earnings per share (EPS).

TCS's board approved a proposal to buy back up to 7.6 crore equity shares "for an aggregate amount not exceeding Rs 16,000 crore". Most brokerage firms were anticipating a buyback of over Rs 20,000 crore 

The buyback is at 1.99 percent of the total paid up equity share capital, at Rs 2,100, which is a premium of 14 percent over TCS's closing price of Rs 1,841.45 on Friday.

CLSA which maintains a buy rating on TCS with a target price of Rs 1850 said that buyback of 18 percent of net worth or 34 percent of its cash reserve was a tad lower than expectations.




Yes Bank in focus: Yes Bank said it has received final approval and registration from Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for acting as Custodian of Securities.

Custodian of Securities is a license granted by SEBI to eligible entities allowing them to offer custodial services to financial market participants including foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and foreign portfolio investors (FPIs).




Market Update: The market is rangebound in morning trade despite weakness in Asian peers due to escalated trade tensions between world's two largest economies US and China.

The Sensex gained 16.61 points at 35,638.75 and the Nifty rose 2.50 points to 10,820.20.

ICICI Securities View on Market: Indian markets are expected to open negative today tracking mixed global cues. In the near term, market will watch out for the progress of monsoons and movement of crude oil prices along-with FII and DII activity.

Domestic markets ended on a flat note amid mixed global cues on the back of renewed trade worries between China and US. US markets ended in the negative territory as China indicated retaliation with tariffs of its own if the U.S. goes ahead with its plans to impose heavy tariffs on Chinese goods.

Wall Street stocks ended lower on Friday, capping a day of heavy trading with investors mostly pulling back from initial concerns over an escalating trade dispute between the United States and China, said a Reuters report. 

Asian markets slipped on Monday as investors digested the escalation in trade tensions between the US and China after both countries announced tariffs last week. Japan's Nikkei 225 declined 0.53 percent while the Kospi slipped 0.17 percent.

China will impose additional 25 percent tariffs on 659 US goods worth USD 50 billion in response to the US announcement that it will levy tariffs on Chinese imports, the Chinese commerce ministry said.
