Market Outlook Today By Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services
The year-end rally which took the Nifty up by around 14 % from the 2023 October lows, is slowly running out of steam. The major challenge for the rally comes from the mother market US which is showing signs of weakness. The concern in the US now is that the market expectation of a rate cut in March may not materialise since the labour market continues to be tight and the unemployment data is lower than expected. Inflation coming under control means that the rate hiking cycle is over and the Fed pivot is imminent. But the market will be disappointed if the rate cut doesn’t happen in March. The sign of this possible trend can be seen in the firming up of the 10-year US bond yield above 4%.
The exuberance of retail investors may be a positive factor which might push up the already frothy broader market. But profit booking by DIIs and seasonally weak January can impact the rally.
Long-term investors can use dips in the market to buy high quality banking stocks which are fairly priced.

Tata Steel 3QFY2024 Production And Delivery Volumes Update
The production and delivery numbers for the quarter ended in December of FY24 were released by Tata Steel. India's delivery volumes climbed by 3% to 4.88 mt, while its production volume increased by 6.4% YoY to 5.32 mt (million tonnes). The production of crude steel rose 4% YoY in the 9MFY24. Given the ongoing strength in India's steel demand, the increase on a QoQ and YoY basis was mainly driven by an increase in domestic deliveries (+3% QoQ and +10% YoY). Tata Steel India had its best-ever deliveries for 9MFY24, up 6% YoY. Tata Steel Netherlands produced 1.17 million tonnes of liquid steel during the quarter, up 5% from the previous quarter, while deliveries were 1.29 million tonnes.
