Sector Update: Metals And Mining | 1QFY25 Preview: Gross Margin Expansion To Be Offset By Lack of Scale
Ashutosh Somani of JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited said, “We estimate the operating profits of our metals coverage universe to de-grow 4.5% QoQ in 1QFY25 as the gross margin expansion is partially offset by lack of scale sequentially. Indian steel markets witnessed a divergent price trend with long products prices moving up by INR4k/t QoQ while flat product prices declined marginally. Global steel making raw materials witnessed a sharp correction – spot coking coal down at ~US6/t (down sharply by US/t from peak), iron ore at US/t (down US/t from recent peak) driven by subdued Chinese demand outlook. Gross margin of India steel players are likely to expand by INR1.3k-1.5k/t in 1QFY25, driven by marginally higher realizations and lower coking coal consumption cost (~US/t). However, EBITDA/t expansion may be limited with the lack of scale, given the high volume base in 4Q seasonally. Working capital requirements is likely to offer some relief as steel / raw material prices trend down leading to better chances of net debt reduction. Spot spreads for steel players witness expansion (higher than 4Q) given sharp recent fall in coking coal prices. Aluminium prices averaged USD2,500/t+ in 1Q25 higher by ~US0/t+ QoQ driven by the ban on Russian Metal in LME. Hindalco is expected to post strong quarterly earnings given higher realization and subdued coal prices (CoP expected to be down 1-2%). JSPL (lowest leverage, highest volume growth over next few years) and Hindalco (Novelis delivering record margins) remain our top picks in the space.”

Sector Update: India QSR | 1QFY25 Preview: Recovery signs still patchy
Mehul Desai of JM Financial Institutional Securities said, “We estimate our QSR coverage universe sales (organic) to increase by 9% yoy for 1QFY25 (vs 5-8% growth seen in 2HFY24). Our checks across various QSR categories suggest demand trends have remained broadly stable and similar to what was seen in recent quarters. While seasonality led uptick in sales per store is seen in 1QFY25 versus 4QFY24, however, there is no material acceleration in same store sales across various QSR categories, baring some improvement seen in Pizza category during the quarter. In terms of channel wise trends, delivery channel has seen better traction in the quarter versus dine-in, on account of events (IPL, World Cup, etc.) and to some extent due to harsh summers in certain regions (for eg: In North regions where Sapphire & Burger King have higher presence, footfalls in dine-in channel have been lower). While issue pertaining to quality of cheese used is now behind, certain external issues (negative sentiments versus US brands) resurfaced during the quarter, which continued to impact brands like McDonalds and BK Indonesia. On profitability front, while gross margins trends are stable, scale deleverage will continue to impact EBITDA margins on yoy basis. Overall, while trends have not deteriorated, pace of demand recovery is still soft and acceleration here will be key monitorable – initiatives on value offerings, increasing play across dayparts & no material price hikes over past two years, we believe should support further recovery in coming quarters. Sapphire Foods remains our preferred pick in the space.”

Forex Market Outlook By Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Financial Services
INR: The Indian rupee ended slightly stronger on Thursday, closing at 83.4925 against the U.S. dollar, up from 83.53 in the previous session. Firmer Asian peers and a decline in U.S. bond yields supported the rupee, but gains were limited by local dollar demand. Soft U.S. economic data on Wednesday eased depreciation pressure on Asian currencies.
USD: The pound and euro gained against the dollar on Thursday after weak U.S. economic data, including a weak services report and ADP employment report, indicated a slowing economy. This followed a rise in unemployment claims last week. Expectations that the labour market is weakening have fuelled hopes for potential Fed rate cuts later in the year. Non-farm payroll data due on Friday is expected to show an increase of 190,000 jobs in June, down from 272,000 in May.

Nifty Prediction By Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Financial Services
We have had stronger falls recently and recovered. Hence, yesterday’s decline is viewed with suspicion that this may not be the crack that the oscillator divergences have been pointing to. Further, yesterday’s small legged candle suggests that there was not much of a rejection either. This highlights the potential for bargain hunting resurfacing again. We had gone in yesterday expecting 24330-400 initially or an extension to 24500 beyond visibility remains very low. We do not intend to shift from this view now, but the downside marker may be moved to 24160.

Market Outlook From Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services
FIIs’ huge long position in the index derivatives and strong buying in the cash market can support the market in the near term. An important trigger may come from the US jobs data expected today. If the jobs data show a loosening labour market and a slowing economy, it can lead to rate cuts by the Fed in September. So, watch out for this data.
At 80000 Sensex there is no valuation comfort in the market. Investors should expect only moderate returns in the medium term at the present levels. Long-term prospects are certainly bright and, therefore, investors can continue with systematic investment. Asset allocation based on risk appetite should be the strategy at this juncture in the market.

Market Outlook Today By Aditya Gaggar, Director of Progressive Shares
On the weekly expiry day, the Index found pressure from the higher levels and ended the session on a flat note at 24,302. From the past couple of days, it seems that the Index is finding it difficult to hold higher levels and bearish divergence in RSI indicates weakening of momentum. The immediate support is placed at 24,150 while on the higher side, 24,400 will be considered as resistance. An early sign of bearish divergence was also spotted in BankNifty (not yet confirmed). The Auto sector has been oscillating in a well-maintained range, breakout is imminent. The IT sector is on the verge of giving a massive breakout from a Cup and Handle formation, one can expect a strong outperformance after the pattern breakout. With a strong bullish candle, the Pharma sector came out from its congestion, indicating a resumption of its uptrend (Laurus Labs-Trendline Breakout, Lupin-Range Breakout, and Zydus Life- Cup and Handle Breakout).
