13:44 (IST) 15 Jul 2022 Reliance Industries share price underperforms Nifty in July; analysts say concerns overdone, should you buy?
Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries’ share price has underperformed the benchmark indices so far this month, falling more than 8%. The fall in the stock price has largely come owing to fears emerging after the government of India decided to levy a Special Additional Export duty on exports of petrol, diesel and ATF. Analysts at HDFC Securities believe the concerns are overdone and have reiterated their ‘Add’ rating on the stock. The brokerage firm is expecting a recovery in the O2C businesses along with improvement in ARPU, subscriber addition, and new revenue streams. HDFC Securities has a target price of Rs 2,825 per share on Reliance Industries’ stock, projecting an upside of 18.5% from Friday’s low of Rs 2,383 per share.

11:32 (IST) 15 Jul 2022 If 15850 holds, a recovery towards 16000-16100 could be seen
“After bottoming out in June, Nifty has been moving higher within a rising channel. Yesterday, the intraday decline in Nifty halted right near the channel support line, before forming a bullish candle on the hourly time frame. This indicates that the index has met with support. Going forward, if 15850 holds, a recovery towards 16000-16100 could be seen. However, if the 15850-15785 region fails to hold, it would potentially signal a resumption of weakness.”

09:23 (IST) 15 Jul 2022 FII continue to disrupt Dalal Street
“The major drag on the market continues to be the FII selling which has exceeded $30 billion, so far this year. But this month, FIIs have been buyers for 2 days including yesterday.

This segment is a good defensive play during this turbulence and a major technical advantage for the segment is that FII presence is limited and, therefore, FII selling is not happening,” said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
