1.09 PM: Rupee outlook
Commenting on rupee, Anuj Gupta – DVP- Commodities and Currencies Research, Angel Broking said, “Last week, Indian Rupee appreciated by 0.07 percent while the Dollar Index decreased by 0.29 percent. RBI decided to keep interest rates unchanged at 4 percent and monetary policy stance accommodative. RBI sees GDP contracting by 9.5 percent in FY21 but can expect recovery from Q4FY21. US FED officials worried that a lack of further fiscal stimulus would jeopardize an economic recovery that was moving faster than expected, according to meeting minutes. The meeting featured extensive discussion about the economic outlook, as members said the economy was doing better than expected in good part because of the fiscal help provided by Washington. That support is in jeopardy as talks have broken down between the White House and congressional Democrats and may not resume before the November election.

12. 42 PM: Mazagon Dock listing
Commenting on Mazagon Dock listing, Amarjeet Maurya – AVP – Mid Caps, Angel Broking said, “Currently Mazagon Dock is trading above the upper price band which is around Rs192 (32% premium). We are recommending booking the profit mainly due to the PSU company ( involved project execution risk due project delay). Considering the current market scenario, we expect volatility in the market. Hence any correction in stock can be a good buying opportunity for long term investors. Going ahead, Defence sector’s outlook is positive mainly due to government initiative like the government has taken steps to ban 101 defence items, which clearly indicates government’s focus on indigenization to promote and create big opportunities in Indian defence sector. Going ahead, it would be beneficial for companies like MDSL. However, any correction in future would create buying opportunities in stock.”
