Stock Market LIVE Updates: Slew of PSU stake sales soon; govt plans to divest 6.5% in LIC in tranches
Stock Market LIVE Updates: The government plans to divest a 6.5 per cent stake in Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India over the next 24 months through multiple tranches, as part of a broader strategy to initiate a series of share sales in central public-sector enterprises (CPSEs) during the current financial year. The move aims to help these firms meet the minimum public shareholding (MPS) norms set by the stock market regulator.
'We will adopt a strategy of regular offers for sale (OFS) in smaller tranches this year. This serves as a forward guidance for small investors to stay alert for these opportunities,' said Arunish Chawla, Secretary of the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM), in an interview with Business Standard.
Although most CPSEs now comply with the MPS rule requiring at least 25 per cent public shareholding in listed companies, some entities in sectors such as defence, railways, and finance still fall short. 'We are actively pursuing their disinvestment, and we hope to bring them in line with MPS norms within the next year,' Chawla added. READ MORE

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Moody's downgrade of US rating may not dent stock markets much: Analysts
Stock Market LIVE Updates: Analysts believe that global financial markets are unlikely to react strongly to Moody's downgrade of the United States' credit rating from AAA to Aa1, aside from a possible short-term, knee-jerk response.
On the domestic front, Indian stock markets are expected to remain more focused on local factors such as the progress of the monsoon, corporate earnings, and key economic data. Ongoing discussions around tariff-related issues with the US will also play a role in shaping market sentiment.
Experts noted that Moody's decision appears aimed at aligning its rating with those of Fitch and S&P, which had already downgraded US credit in earlier years. Fitch lowered its rating to AA+ in August 2023, while S&P made a similar move back in August 2011. READ MORE

Rajesh Bhosale turns cautious on RIL, sees short-term weakness continuing
"If we consider the RSI momentum indicators, possibly this positive momentum is likely to extend, so bullish on ICICI as well as HDFC Bank , but we sense that this momentum is likely to be led by the ICICI Bank ," says Rajesh Bhosale, Angel One. Tell us what is your view particularly on the indices at present Nifty and Bank Nifty ? Rajesh Bhosale: So, yes, if we see definitely a green day for the markets. Friday, we had a weak closing for both Nifty and Bank Nifty. Despite that, there was no follow-up selling and in fact, from the crucial 50 EMA, both Nifty and Bank Nifty has bounced back. If we see Bank Nifty, it has already crossed its Friday's swing high. So, definitely we sense that this positive momentum can extend. So, for the Nifty 24,900 to 25,000 is the key support. As long this support holds, we expect Nifty to bounce back towards 25,200 to 25,250. So overall, Nifty is trading within the range of 24,900 to 25,250 and since we are at a lower range, buy on dip would be preferred for the higher targets.

M for metals; D for defence, and B for banks, leaving private banks otherwise banking sector is doing quite well. I want to ask you if you have any picks in these three sectors. Rajesh Bhosale: Yes. So definitely, private banks are leading the charge for today's session, especially the ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank. HDFC Bank is still trading in a trading range. But if we consider ICICI Bank , it is almost on the verge of a channel breakout. It has been trading in a consolidation for last two months, but it is now testing the high range. And if we consider the RSI momentum indicators, possibly this positive momentum is likely to extend, so bullish on ICICI as well as HDFC Bank , but we sense that this momentum is likely to be led by the ICICI Bank. I also want to know your view on Reliance Industries. It was though a mixed one can say a quarter for the Reliance Industries where profits did surge on the back of Jio's strong show. What is your view because there are a lot of sectors which we need to analyse while we take care of the Reliance Industries in particular. Rajesh Bhosale: Yes, so definitely, there is weakness in Reliance and the rally that we had seen during the mid-June that has been fizzled out and in fact both the short-term as well as medium-term moving averages has been breached. So, we do expect further weakness in the Reliance, possibly Reliance can retest the levels of 1400. So, as of now the view would be to wait on to buy.
