Market Analysis
US markets are hitting record highs, while Indian markets have fallen by nearly 700 points since the end of June. There's increased commentary on India, with NATO issuing warnings similar to past statements from Trump. These warnings suggest potential sanctions for countries not adhering to certain policies. Despite this, there's a possibility of collaboration between India, China, and Russia, with positive signals from the Indian Ministry of External Affairs and China. However, China's stance is contradictory, expressing cooperation while also imposing restrictions on India's growth in sectors like EVs and electronics. Gold and silver prices are rising, with platinum experiencing even greater growth. The analysis also considers whether the market will fall further and identifies key levels to watch.
Employees Must Watch
IT employees should be aware of their rights if terminated. If a termination or exit letter contains false or negative reviews about an employee's conduct, legal action can be taken. A former Wipro employee won a case against the company for a malicious conduct review in their exit letter, highlighting the importance of standing up against unfair practices. While the court awarded damages, the amount was considered low relative to the employee's suffering.
BIG Deal
A trade deal between India and the UK is expected to be finalised next week, which could benefit alcohol and textile companies. While this deal has been discussed extensively, its impact is already somewhat reflected in stock prices. The deal is expected to boost India's exports and GDP.
F&O
SEBI members are considering extending the tenure of F&O contracts, potentially reducing retail activity in F&O. This could significantly impact BSE and listed broking companies. The proposal contrasts with previous statements from the SEBI chairman, creating uncertainty about the future of weekly expiry contracts.
Tax ALERT!
The Income Tax Department is using AI to detect fake documents in tax filings. A Hyderabad taxpayer attempted to evade capital gains by submitting fake property improvement bills. The AI identified the forgery because the font used in the documents was not available during the period the bills were supposedly issued. Taxpayers should ensure they file taxes correctly to avoid issues.
China Exposed
China is attempting to restrict India's growth in the smartphone and electronics market by impacting supply chains and creating technical delays. This inflates costs for manufacturers. The industry is urging the government to take action. India now contributes 20% of the global output of iPhones. China is trying to hinder India's progress in manufacturing. The US is open about its actions, while China operates behind the scenes. China creates obstacles for India's growth and offers support to countries causing problems for India.
GMDC
A crucial meeting is scheduled at the Prime Minister's Office to discuss the rare earth magnet crisis with industry leaders. This has caused a buzz around GMDC stock. GMDC will not be able to supply rare earth magnets immediately; it will take time. The government may seek strategic deals with other countries or discuss alternatives with China to balance the situation. Investors should be cautious when investing in stocks based on hype, as the event may dilute over time.

Bank stocks Fall
Axis Bank's results revealed increased slippages and provisioning due to the application of technical parameters, highlighting existing issues.
