Ajay Bagga outlines 3 reasons why market strength may sustain ahead
Ajay Bagga, Market Expert, says three big things, domestics are owning more of the market, they have reached about 25%, it is going to go to 30% in the next couple of years which will give strength to the markets; second, time-wise we have played out; and third, valuation-wise you are going to see better earnings on a base effect basis. ET Now: We are expecting the announcement as far as US trade deal is concerned anytime that is the indication which has come in from all the channels. But what should one watch out for in terms of level? Do you think there will be an impact on Indian markets per se, or you think we have already absorbed all the negative impact? by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like War Thunder - Register now for free and play against over 75 Million real Players War Thunder Play Now Ajay Bagga: Most of the negative impact has been absorbed. If you look at May, the average tariff in the US was 8.8%. In June, it has gone up to 15%. With the full China Geneva deal coming in, the average of all goods imported into the US has gone to 15%. India will probably get a 10% universal tariff with sectoral tariffs on auto, auto components, as well as, steel and aluminium, from 25% to 50%, that is our expectation, that is what is baked into. Now, if there is a unilateral letter from Trump saying that negotiations have broken down with India on agriculture and dairy products and we are levying the 24% reciprocal tariffs that had got calculated on 2nd April, then that will be a disappointment for markets. But if it is 10% universal plus sectoral tariffs, that is more or less factored in by the markets. Live Events ET Now: So, you are saying that most of it is priced in by the market. So, what are going to be the triggers for market next? Of course, we are starting with the earning season and what do you see for the earnings come first quarter of FY26, what are you seeing on the earnings front and what are going to be the next triggers for market because we are in a corrective phase right now so there have to be some triggers for the market to pick up direction? Ajay Bagga: See, three big things we have to keep in mind. Now, one, this market has been in corrective phase since last week of September. So, we have finished nine months. We are very near the median correction time period which is basically 9 to 12 months is what Indian markets really spend in correction territory. So, we have spent the time wise. Second big trend is that promoter holdings have been reducing along with the FII holdings and domestic holdings have been increasing. Now, domestics are by definition more retail money and more long-term money. So, the strength of the market has been increasing. Valuations are still quite high which is the issue in the markets not rushing towards reclaiming the September all-time high. The third big thing we have to keep in mind is last April to September because of the follow on to the national elections, so the results came in June and we saw nearly till about September activity was still very slow. So, from March to September, we lost out a lot of time last year. Earnings were very sluggish. You are going to get the benefit of the base effect this time around. So, we are expecting 12% to 14% earnings growth for NSE 500, that will help the markets, that will make the valuations look a little bit less expensive and there will be pockets which will look attractive, so base effect is coming in. So, three big things, domestics are owning more of the market, they have reached about 25%, it is going to go to 30% in the next couple of years which will give strength to the markets; second, time-wise we have played out; and third, valuation-wise you are going to see better earnings on a base effect basis. ET Now: There is a sectoral churn that is happening. So, in this, which sectors are likely to lead from the front because there was a point there where, of course, financials there was a common consensus, but snow in this sectoral churn that is happening what are the pockets of value in your opinion? Ajay Bagga: Well, there are stocks across sectors, but if you look at sectoral, financials are still well positioned. You will see some amount of a drag because of the rate cuts on the banks' NIMs, but volume expansion will more than make up for it and going ahead volumes will look better at lower rates, so banks will benefit and the entire financial pack from NBFCs to AMCs to the capital market related companies, insurance companies, those are looking very good. Second, cement is coming back and we have seen a lot of runup already. Third, consumption, with a good monsoon, rural demand is picking up and urban should follow by the festival season, around October, we should see urban demand also coming in. So, consumption is looking good. And then, industrials continue. With the amount of spend that the government is doing on the infrastructure side, on defence, on railways, all that will continue to do well. Defence, of course, the valuations becomes an issue at a particular price point and then we see fresh orders coming in and another boost up comes to defence. So, right now, it is on a pause mode because of the valuations, but it should benefit from the new order flows. It is turning around. It has had a good month and we expect the worst of it to have been over, but more the midcap and smallcap IT will do better than the largecap it.

USD 110). The handouts, referred to as "consumption coupons," are aimed at driving spending in local economies and will be distributed over an eight-week period until September 12. Live Events In addition to the universal payment, targeted assistance will be provided to vulnerable groups. About 400,000 won for recipients of the national basic living allowance, and 300,000 won for near-poverty households and single-parent families. To promote regional balance and population retention, citizens living outside the Seoul metropolitan area (including Gyeonggi Province and Incheon) will receive an extra 30,000 won, while those in 84 designated rural and fishing villages experiencing population decline will be granted an additional 50,000 won. Although foreigners are excluded, the program makes exceptions for permanent residents, marriage immigrants, and recognized refugees, all of whom are eligible to receive the payouts. Citizens will have the option to receive the handouts via credit or debit cards, prepaid cards, or local government-issued gift certificates, making it accessible through a wide range of platforms. A second round of payments is scheduled for September 22 to October 31, targeting the bottom 90 percent of income earners, who will receive an additional 100,000 won. Eligibility for this phase will be determined by an income screening process based on national health insurance premiums, with detailed guidelines to be released in September. "We will ensure thorough preparations for the rollout of these payments so that they can serve as a catalyst for economic recovery by boosting consumption and supporting those in need," said Vice Interior Minister Kim Min-jae, who heads the interagency task force overseeing the program, quoted by the news platform.

Donald Trump face backlash for using antisemitic slur ‘shylocks' during Fourth of July rally speech
US President Donald Trump is facing sharp criticism after using the term ' shylocks ' during a speech in Iowa on Thursday(July 3) a word long condemned as an antisemitic stereotype rooted in centuries-old prejudice. Speaking at a patriotic Fourth of July rally touting the passage of his sweeping domestic 'mega bill,' Trump praised provisions aimed at protecting family farms. But while criticizing lenders who impose what he called 'predatory' terms, Trump said: 'No death tax, no estate tax, no going to the banks and borrowing from, in some cases, a fine banker, and in some cases, shylocks and bad people. They destroyed a lot of families, but we did the opposite.'

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a prominent Jewish civil rights group, condemned the remark on Friday, calling it 'very troubling and irresponsible.' Live Events 'The term 'Shylock' evokes a centuries-old antisemitic trope about Jews and greed that is extremely offensive and dangerous,' the group said in a statement on social media . Asked by reporters about the comment after returning to Washington, Trump claimed he was unaware of the term's antisemitic history. 'I've never heard it that way,' he said. 'To me, Shylock is somebody that's a money lender at high rates. You view it differently than me.' What's the word's history? The term 'Shylock' originates from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, where a Jewish character named Shylock demands a 'pound of flesh' from a debtor. Over time, the name came to symbolize exploitative lending, but also became a painful antisemitic caricature of Jews as greedy or ruthless with money. The controversy isn't new in US politics. In 2014, then–Vice President Joe Biden used the same word in a speech about military loan scams. He later apologized, calling it a 'poor choice of words.' Pattern of comments Trump has repeatedly been accused of invoking antisemitic tropes despite portraying himself as a strong supporter of Israel. He faced criticism in 2022 after hosting white supremacist Nick Fuentes for dinner, and has made remarks questioning the loyalty of Jewish Americans who vote for Democrats. Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman, who is Jewish, slammed the Iowa comment as 'blatant and vile antisemitism ,' adding that Trump 'knows exactly what he's doing.' 'When words with violent histories are used carelessly, it emboldens hate,' said Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs. 'Leaders must do better.'
