Forex News | Dollar steady as US inflation data awaited, yen retraces gains

The dollar was broadly steady ahead of a key U.S. inflation report later on Wednesday, though it rose on the yen as traders further digested comments from Japan’s top central banker on a possible early exit from its negative interest rate policy.

The U.S. currency advanced around 0.2% to 147.39 against the yen. It has now firmly retraced its biggest one-day percentage rise in two months that was made on Monday following remarks from Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda over the weekend.

IPO News: RR Kabel IPO opens for subscription. Should you bid?

The initial public offer (IPO) of wires and cable maker RR Kabel, which opened for subscription on Wednesday and closes on Friday, looks to raise Rs 1,964 crore via the initial stake sale.

Analysts advised investors to subscribe to the issue as the company is well placed within the industry and has the scope to improve margins and healthy cash flow growth going ahead.

Market experts have been repeatedly warning of froth in the mid-and small-cap segments. And, the fear of sharp correction in this space has finally happened with 4.10 percent correction in the Nifty Small-cap index and 3.07 percent correction in the Nifty Mid-cap index. Even after this correction, fundamentals do not support the valuations in these segments. Therefore, more pain is likely.On the other hand, high quality large-caps in banking, capital goods and IT are on stronger wicket. More selling in the broader market and buying in large-caps is likely in the near-term.Even though the undercurrent of the market is strong, fundamentals do not support a sustained rally. Crude at $92 is a big macro concern. The market is ignoring this headwind.

Stock Market Live Updates: Birkenstock files for US IPO as listings recovery gains pace

German premium footwear brand Birkenstock on Tuesday filed for an initial public offering in the United States, underscoring a pickup in the country’s equity markets and becoming the second big European company to seek a foreign listing this month.

Its filing with the U.S. securities regulator did not disclose the financial details of the offering, but revealed that net revenue for the six months ended March 31 rose 19% to 644.17 million euros ($692.87 million) and profit fell 45.3% to 40.21 million euros.

The German sandal maker’s IPO ambitions come hot on the heels of filings by British chipmaker Arm, data automation provider Klaviyo and grocery delivery app Instacart, as equity markets in the U.S. thaw after a murky economic outlook led to a slow start to the year.

While the medium-term structure of the market is still positive, we believe that the market will experience range-bound movement in the near future. For traders, it is important to note that 19900 could be a key support level while 20070-20110 could be immediate resistance zones for the bulls. It is advisable for traders to sell on an upswing till the markets do not cross 20110. For Bank Nifty, 45700-45900 would be the biggest resistance zone to overcome. The ideal strategy would be to sell around 45700 with a tight stop loss at 45900, while support would be at 45300 and at 45000. For the Nifty IT index, it is heading towards 33350, where it has ultimate resistance. Above the same, it could move to 34200 levels which would also change the outlook for the IT sector.
