Moreover, a healthy balance sheet, minuscule stress formation and lower credit cost lead to strong profitability.

"Tamilnad Mercantile Bank has debuted at Rs 495 on NSE i.e. ~6% below its issue price. The precarious legal challenges, the lack of complete clarity on the management’s long-term performance, and less than stellar subscription numbers are some of the reasons for its negative listing. Those who applied for listing gains can maintain a stop loss of Rs 470. Long-term investors should wait for some quarters to let the dust settle, and in the meanwhile, we suggest investors go for the existing listed banks where the management’s track record and performance during multiple credit cycles are visible. In short, large-sized banks and a few mid-sized banks are the best to ride on the upcoming credit and economic growth cycle."

Fitch Ratings on Thursday slashed its India’s economic growth (GDP) forecast for the current fiscal to 7 per cent from the previous estimate of 7.8 per cent. The global ratings agency expects the economy to grow 7 per cent in 2022-23, with the next financial year also slowing to 6.7 per cent from the earlier estimate of 7.4 per cent. “The (Indian) economy recovered in 2Q22 with growth of 13.5 per cent year-on-year, but this was below our June expectation of an increase of 18.5 per cent. Seasonally adjusted estimates show a 3.3 per cent quarter-on-quarter decline in 2Q22 though this seems to be at odds with high-frequency indicators,” Fitch said.
Bank Nifty index hit a new all-time high of Rs 41,840.15, rising over 400 points on weekly F&O expiry day.
Tamilnad Mercantile Bank’s shares saw a flat listing on the stock exchanges today amid the tepid market momentum.

"There are two broad market trends now. One, globally markets have turned weak on renewed inflation concerns and the market consensus is that the Fed's terminal rate would be clearly above 4%. This will weigh on global markets. Two, India's outperformance is strong and consistent. This has fundamental support from a strong economy and good earnings visibility. There is a clear message from the performance of S&P 500 (down 18% YTD) and Nifty (up 3.6% YTD). This divergence in performance between global and Indian markets has steam to sustain in the near-term. Yesterday's strong market performance validates the success of the 'buy on dips' strategy. Buyers are chasing banks, autos, FMCG, telecom and construction related segments which are likely to come out with good results in the coming quarters. Even while remaining invested, investors should exercise some caution arising from high valuation."

"After yesterday's retreat, local shares are likely to start on a positive note tracking recovery in most of the Asian indices following overnight uptick in the US markets. Intra-day, the markets may waver as the nervous theme could play out in the backdrop of consensus that inflation is falling more slowly than expected. Strong inflation numbers have revived bets for faster interest rate hikes by the central banks across the globe. However, India’s wholesale inflation easing to 10-month low, a pause in the US treasury yield rally, and US dollar slipping overnight could offer a temporary reprieve to Nifty bulls. Technically, Nifty needs to stabilize above 17701 mark for a bright chance of its recovery to 18605 mark."

Oil prices edged upwards in early Asian trade on Thursday, as supply concerns and a looming rail stoppage in the United States, the world's biggest crude consumer, supported markets. Brent crude futures rose 38 cents, or 0.4%, to $94.48 a barrel by 0013 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude rose 46 cents, or 0.5%, to $88.94. The International Energy Agency (IEA) said Wednesday it expects widespread switching from gas to oil for heating purposes, saying it will average 700,000 barrels per day (bpd) in October 2022 to March 2023 - double the level of a year ago. That, along with overall expectations for weak supply growth, also helped boost the market.
