Largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic and local restrictions, the Indian service sector remained in the red during July. Business activity, new orders and employment declined further, but in all cases rates of contraction moderated from June. Posting 45.4 in July, the seasonally adjusted India Services Business Activity Index was in contraction territory for the third month in a row. However, rising from 41.2 in June, the latest reading pointed to a slower rate of reduction. Panel members that reported lower output cited subdued demand conditions amid the COVID-19 crisis.

"Nifty is well on its path to see the 16350 objective, which we had lined up for the last three days. Yesterday’s rise in VIX by 7.36% is counter-intuitive though, which prompts us to be cautious once in the 16200-250 vicinity. However, unless a pullback below 16090 or 16030 is seen, favoured view expects upsides to continue aiming 16350 and well beyond," said Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

"Sometimes amateurs beat professionals. This is happening in the Indian stock market now. FIIs, often regarded as representing smart money, have been pushed back by the sheer momentum of retail investors. FIIs who have been consistently selling in July on rational hopes of a correction in the overvalued market have been forced to buy (Rs 2117 cr in cash market yesterday) on fears of losing out on the momentum. Retail investors and mutual funds flush with funds from NFOs are driving this market without much regard to valuations. Having broken the 15950 Nifty upper band decisively, sheer momentum may take the market higher. With institutional money pouring in, large caps are likely to outperform if the market continues its upward momentum. Leading banking stocks, which have been underperforming in this rally, are likely to catch up," said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

Fuel prices have increased 41 times since May 4, now sitting at all-time highs. The price of petrol in Delhi has increased by Rs 11.15, while diesel price has surged Rs 10.80 per litre since the rates started increasing more than 2 months back.

We estimate Tata Steel's adjusted debt (including customer advances and securitized receivables, among other standard S&P Global Ratings adjustments) will fall to about Indian rupees (INR) 600 billion (about US$8 billion) by fiscal year ending March 2023 in our base case, from about INR915 billion as of March 2021. This would significantly outperform the company's stated intention to reduce debt by at least US$1 billion per year, and continue the trend of declining debt from March 2020, when the company reported INR1.1 trillion in debt. While the company has resumed some growth in capital expenditure (capex), the increase in capex is still small in relation to the operating cash flows and does not affect the path of deleveraging. We expect capex of about INR110 billion annually, up from about INR70 billion in fiscal 2021. In our base case, we forecast the company's EBITDA and free operating cash flow of about INR1 trillion and INR350 billion–INR400 billion, respectively, over fiscals 2022 and 2023. This is despite our assumption of a 10% decline in steel prices in fiscal 2023 from the current level.

On a closing basis, the market closed above the level of 15,900 after the consolidation of the last two months and here onwards earlier resistance 15,900 would act as major support for the market.
