Oil up after OPEC+ maintains output cuts but shaky demand caps gains

Oil prices inched up on Thursday, clawing back some of the previous session’s big losses after an OPEC+ panel maintained oil output cuts to keep supply tight, though an uncertain demand outlook capped gains.

Brent crude oil futures rose 55 cents to $86.36 a barrel at 0640 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude climbed 55 cents to $84.77.

Oil settled down more than $5 on Wednesday as a bleaker macroeconomic outlook and fuel demand destruction came into focus following a meeting of an OPEC+ panel, grouping the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies led by Russia.

Goldman Sachs is cautious on ‘expensive’ India stocks before elections

Global headwinds and expensive stock valuations necessitate a cautious approach toward Indian equities in the short term as the country prepares for next year’s national elections, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

“The sharp rally since end-March, expensive valuations and global macro risks (high oil, high US rates, strong dollar) warrant a tactically conservative stance over the next three to six months,” analysts including Sunil Koul and Amorita Goel wrote in a note.

While this year’s surge in equity markets makes for a great backdrop for Prime Minister Narendra Modi — who is seeking a third term in office — a sense of caution is building. Goldman’s view comes as overseas investors sold $2.3 billion worth of Indian stocks on a net basis in September, following six months of inflows.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Australian shares end higher, investors eye US jobs data

Australian shares closed higher on Thursday, lifted by a rally in gold and tech stocks as a softer rise in U.S. private payrolls increased hopes that the Federal Reserve might not keep rates higher for much longer, while a dip in U.S. bond yields helped prop-up sentiment.

The S&P/ASX 200 index rose 0.5% to 6890.2. The benchmark had slipped to an 11-month low dropping 0.8% on Wednesday.

Market sentiment eased after U.S. private payrolls increased far less than expected in September.

Macro Alert | India’s services sector grew at faster pace in Sept, optimism at 9-year high

Growth in India’s dominant services industry accelerated in September as already robust demand strengthened, according to a survey that also showed businesses were the most optimistic in over nine years.

That bodes well for Asia’s third-largest economy, which is expected to be the fastest-growing major economy this fiscal year, defying a global slowdown trend.

S&P Global’s India services purchasing managers’ index rose to 61.0 last month from 60.1 in August, confounding expectations in a Reuters poll for a dip to 59.5.

The reading was above the 50-mark separating growth from contraction for a 26th consecutive month.

After spiking to $96 Brent crude has softened to $90 now. Production cuts by OPEC and Russia will keep crude prices elevated. Apart from supply, demand will influence the price and, therefore, global growth has to be carefully watched. If Chinese growth continues to struggle impacting global growth, oil demand will be soft restraining prices. MPC is unlikely to be influenced by the rise in crude price. MPC will hold the rates and maintain the stance in the meeting this week.

Market View | Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services

The triple whammy of spiking dollar, US bond yields and crude is slowly easing, paving the way for a recovery in markets. The decline in the dollar and US bond yields are mild and , therefore, not adequate for a reversal of FII selling, which continues to be very high. But the sharp correction in Brent crude to $86 is a big positive. Apart from the macro benefits the crude correction will reflect positively on the stocks of oil consuming industries like paints, aviation and tyres.
Sustained FII selling has impacted banking stocks in spite of their sound fundamentals. Q2 results of banks will be good and their valuations are attractive. This presents a good buying opportunity now. Capital goods stocks will continue to do well. Q2 results of autos, too, will be good, gaining from soft commodity prices. The market will start discounting this in advance.

Markets may see a gap-up opening owing to gains in US and Asian indices after the recent sell-off. A halt in the selloff of US treasury instruments and crude prices falling to $85.5 per barrel bode well for the markets. However, upside is likely to be capped given the broader economic uncertainty, and the ongoing FII selling will keep investors on a cautious note. Traders will take selective bets ahead of tomorrow’s credit policy announcement. Technically, Nifty could face hurdles at the 19666 mark.
