Key Movers: High-valuation technology and AI names led losses (see BusinessLine’s “Sensex, Nifty open lower on global weakness; tech stocks lead gains” and Ambcrypto’s “Why Is The Market Down Today?”).
Macro & Politics: The ESRI warns of an AI bubble risk in Ireland, reminding investors that public-sector hype can inflate valuations (The Irish Times).
What’s Next: Keep an eye on ICICI Prudential AMC’s listing tomorrow for a fresh read on IPO sentiment.
Market Commentary
Everyone’s overlooking the flip side of India’s valuation story. Mark Matthews insists on fair-value trading and credits earnings for the next leg up (The Times of India), yet when Meesho’s shares tumbled amid profit-booking (BusinessLine), it revealed how momentum bets can turn on a dime—those chasing peaks are screwed.
Connecting the dots between customs pacts and private partnerships shows a pattern. India’s customs deal with CUBAG isn’t just bureaucratic fluff—it could unclog ports and accelerate commodity flows (thechronicle.com.gh), feeding sectors like Swiss watches hit by US tariff swings (WWD). Track real implementation, not press releases.
Here’s the play: dive into earnings previews and margin drivers before jumping into the next IPO frenzy. Lean on Neeraj Dewan’s sector calls (The Times of India) and focus on integrated auto and power names. If you’re not spotting robust balance sheets and steady margin expansion, stand aside until fundamentals back the hype.
