3 reasons why Indian share market is rising

#1 Upbeat global cues

Positive trends in global markets have also contributed to the gains in the domestic market. Robust economic data from the United States eased fears of a slowdown and improved broader sentiment. Dow Jones indices surged 0.8%.

Asian stocks inched higher on Friday as weak factory activity data from China stoked expectations of fresh stimulus, even as strong US economic data bolstered the view that the Federal reserve will stay hawkish for longer.

#2 Rupee factor

The?rupee has been falling?for quite some time now and this falling trend reversedtoday.

The Indian rupee was poised for its biggest monthly advance versus the US dollar since January, aided by persistent foreign equity inflows. The rupee was little changed at 82.04 to the dollar on Friday, having hovered around 82 handles throughout this week.

The Rupee's appreciation often attracts FIIs as it adds to the return for foreign investors.

#3 Index-heavyweight shares rally

The positive momentum in markets was further supported by a rally in shares of heavyweights.

Index heavyweights M&M gained 4% and was the top gainer among the indices. IndusInd Bank and Sun Pharma also rallied 3%.

Speaking of stock markets, We Indians are very price conscious. No matter what we're buying, we always bargain first.

So, why don't we take the trouble to find bargains in the stock market? You see, most stocks are either trading at super-expensive valuation or they are trading way below their true worth because they are actually worthless stocks.

There are very few stocks in the market that you can call value for money stocks. But these value for money stocks are some of the safest stocks available in the market that you can buy at bargain prices. See the full video to discover this category of stocks where your downside is limited but upside potential is huge.

M&M hits a 52-week high. Here's why.

In news from the auto sector, shares of M&M gained over 4% to a 52-week high on Friday, a day after becoming the first company to receive the eligibility certificate under the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for automobiles.

This will enable the company to avail subsidies from the government under the Rs 259.4 bn scheme, aimed at boosting domestic production, job creation, and driving economic growth.

M&M has been on a positive run, with the stock gaining 15% in the last six months on the back of robust growth prospects amid macroeconomic uncertainties.

Note that M&M has already announced its commitment of over a billion dollars to aggressively participate in the EV race and it expects a significant 30% of its total sales to come from electric SUVs by 2027.

The electric vehicle (EV) megatrend is a once in a century revolution happening right in front of us.

The revolution has taken the auto sector by storm. All segments of the sector are ripe for disruption, and India's top EV stocks are set to benefit from this shift.

Take a look at the chart below, which shows the massive opportunity in the two-wheeler EVs.

It remains to be seen how the above developments pan out.

Why Canara Bank share price is rising

Moving on to news from the banking sector, Canara Bank shares were trading around 2% higher after its board of directors approved the Rs 75 billion (bn) fund-raising plan for the current financial year.

Of the Rs 75 bn, Rs 35 bn will be raised through additional Tier I bonds and the remaining Rs 40 bn through Tier II bonds, the bank said in an exchange filing. The board met on 28 June 2023.

Additional Tier I (ATI) bonds are unsecured bonds with no pre-determined maturity rate and are issued to raise long-term capital. These bonds typically carry a higher coupon but are considered risky instruments in the event of a bank collapse. Tier II bonds are perpetual and used by banks for subordinate debt.

Indian banks had a dream run in the financial year 2023. Canara Bank was among the five banks that posted record-high profits in the financial year 2023.
