Benchmark Indices CAPITAL WAYS INVESTMENT ADVISER DERIVATIVES DAILY REPORT Thrusday 24-12-2020 BENCHMARK INDICES NIFTY FUTURE INDEX Nifty today closed at 13619.05 Up 131.55 Points or 0.98 percent. Indian shares extended gains to settle over 1% higher on Wednesday as a rally in IT stocks helped overshadow jitters stemming from the rapid spread of a new variant of the corona virus in the United Kingdom. Nifty managed to continue its positive move for the second consecutive session and recovered smartly from the recent low of 13,133 to 13,620. The index formed a bullish candle on the daily scale. Now it has to continue to hold above 13,500 to witness a bullish bias towards life-time high of 13,750-13,777 while on the downside, major support exists at 13,333 and 13,131 level. The additional stimulus announced in the US did not gain much momentum in the global market as the quantum of the benefit was well-factored, but Europe and EMs are maintaining the buoyancy. A volume spike of nearly 500 percent was seen in the stock of Grasim Industries. The stock of Wipro witnessed a volume spike of nearly 300 percent while Piramal Enterprises, Tata Consumer Products, Adani Ports, Vodafone Idea, Vedanta and Biocon saw a volume spike of over 100 percent each. Asian equities rose slightly higher Wednesday after recent fall, following President Donald Trump's comments that suggested he may veto a USD900 billion economic aid package amid concerns regarding the new COVID-19 strain. Stocks in the US fell for a third straight session yesterday after Trump criticized the 900 billion aid plan approved by Congress and urged lawmakers to raise payments to the public. European markets were mostly trading a tad higher as traders shrugged off concerns over new corona virus strain in the UK and focussed on the EU and UK post-Brexit trade deal which is expected to be finalized soon.

Market barometer Sensex witnessed mild volatility in the initial half-an- hour of the session but stabilized soon and traded in the green throughout the session. Market is continuing its rally amidst concerns over new virus strain, lockdown and weak global cues, fuelled by IT, mid and small caps. The additional stimulus announced in the US did not gain much momentum in the global market as the quantum of the benefit was well-factored, but Europe and emerging markets are maintaining the buoyancy.

  • India's Telecom Giant Vodafone Idea May Run out of Ideas with Liquidity
    NUS Credit Research Initiative nuscri.org India’s telecom giant Vodafone Idea may run out of ideas with liquidity issues looming by Vivane Raj ● NUS-CRI 1-year PD illustrates a significant difference in credit health of Airtel and Vodafone Idea, two of the largest telecom providers in India ● A looming cash crunch and a substantial debt burden weigh heavily on Vodafone Idea, while Airtel fares relatively better with lower debt and growing market share ● NUS-CRI Forward PD indicates that both carriers’ short-term credit risks will increase Once the largest player in the Indian telecommunications sector, Vodafone Idea has suffered significantly as rivals Bharti Airtel (Airtel) and Reliance Jio1 have overtaken the top spots in the market. As a result of a price war with the introduction of Reliance Jio’s near-zero contract rates in 2016, Airtel and Vodafone Idea were forced to sustain prolonged losses in order to match these low rates. Currently, Vodafone Idea is facing cash burn from a burden of unpaid government licensing fees. This is supported by the meteoric jump in the NUS-CRI 1-year Probability of Default (PD) (1-year PD) in 2019 and 2020 for the company. While there was a drop in the PD from its highest levels in Feb 2020 as seen from Figure 1, the NUS-CRI Forward 1-year Probability of Default (Forward PD2) indicates a deterioration in credit outlook for Vodafone Idea (see Figure 3). This is contrasted by Airtel, which managed to weather the storm relatively better. In sum, this brief analyses the credit quality of Vodafone Idea compared to Airtel and explore the factors which have caused this divergence in credit health.
