9:07 am: Stock call

Punit Patni, Equity Research Analyst, Swastika Investmart Ltd on Tata Steel

"Tata Steel Ltd. is facing a double whammy of falling realizations and rising raw material prices, and as if that's not bad enough, the government of India announced a 15% export duty on finished steel products. This has led to a major sell-off in the steel sector and Tata Steel Ltd. has witnessed a 35% correction from its 52-week high price. We believe that in the near term the stock will remain under pressure as the export duty has compelled steel makers to review their expansion plans and there is a high chance that the stock could further correct by 10%. . Nevertheless, the medium to long term outlook remains positive as the domestic demand remains positive due to government's infrastructure spending, private Capex revival and rising housing demand. Further, China has decided to reduce steel production in the next decade to comply with the carbon emission norms and the developed nations are focusing on climate change and are planning to reduce the production of coal-based steel and increase the green steel production i.e. hydrogen and carbon-based steel. China curbing steel production and the rising  focus of developed countries on green steel will reduce the global steel supply in upcoming years, creating a great opportunity for Indian steel manufacturers to fulfill the supply deficit. Indian companies have competitive advantages in terms of the good availability of low-cost iron ore and cheap labor. So, investors can accumulate this stock for the medium to long-term time horizon, but the near-term outlook depends on how long the export duty stays."

9:05 am: Expert take

Prashanth Tapse, Vice President (Research), Mehta Equities

"Overnight fall in the US markets and early weakness in SGX Nifty suggest bears will continue to attack Dalal Street, with the ground reality indicating that Nifty could drop to its March lows of 15671 mark. Global stock markets are seen tumbling and bond yields jumping as fears over inflation seen rattling investors around the world. The U.S. consumer prices rose 8.6% year-over-year in May, bolstering expectations that the Federal Reserve will continue to aggressively hike rates in the second half of this year, even with signs of economic slowdown. So, economic projections and Jerome Powell's commentary will be closely watched on June 15th. The street is already expecting a 50 bps rate hike in the June policy meeting."

8:36 am: Global markets crash

Asian shares tumbled on Tuesday after Wall Street officially entered bear market territory and bond yields hit a two-decade high on fears aggressive US interest rate hikes would push the world's largest economy into recession.

8:32 am: Raghvendra Nath, Managing Director - Ladderup Wealth Management on CPI inflation data

"Inflation was going to stay outside RBI's comfort zone as food and other commodity prices have continued to stay up. The reason behind inflation coming down to 7.04% from 7.79% m-o-m, was just due to a favourable base effect and the recent excise cuts on petrol. While a normal monsoon is expected this season, we may see some easing in the food prices in the months to come."

Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail), Kotak Securities

"Technically, if the Nifty breaks and closes below 15,700, it will be a major downside event for the market. In such a situation, the index would fall to the level of 15,500-15,400 in the short term. It is advisable to reduce a weak long position below the 15,700 level. Also, Bank Nifty could drop to 32,000 level if it ends below 33,500."

8:20 am: SGX Nifty

The Indian market is likely to open lower today as SGX Nifty fell 87 points to 15,691. The Singapore Stock Exchange is considered to be the first indication of the opening of the Indian market.
