By Bharath Rajeswaran (Reuters) -India’s benchmark indexes fell marginally at the start of the week, dragged by information technology and auto stocks, in thin volume trade ahead of the end of 2024. The Nifty 50 shed 0.16% to 23,775.1 points as of 9:56 a.m. IST, while the BSE Sensex was down 0.14% to 78,585.56. Seven of the 13 major sectors fell. The broader, more domestically focussed smallcaps and midcaps were little changed. “Persistent concerns such as sustained foreign institutional investor outflows, diminishing expectations of U.S. rate cuts in 2025 and a lack of major domestic triggers amid the year-end are weighing on market sentiment,” said Mandar Bhojane, research analyst at Choice Broking. India’s benchmark indexes rose about 1% last week after dropping about 5% in the prior week, their worst fall in 30 months, as the Federal Reserve’s projection of fewer rate cuts in 2025 lowered the appeal of emerging market assets. Asian shares edged lower on Monday as high Treasury yields challenged lofty Wall Street equity valuations while underpinning the U.S. dollar near multi-month peaks. Information technology companies, which earn a significant share of their revenue from the U.S., shed 0.7% on the day, amid sustained foreign outflows due to elevated Treasury yields. Auto shares lost 0.5% ahead of the monthly sales data due later in the week. Among individual stocks, JSW Energy climbed 6.6% after the power producer announced a definitive agreement to acquire renewable power company O2 Power Midco Holdings. Vodafone Idea rose 2.6% after telecom department dispensed with the requirement of submitting bank guarantees for spectrum acquired through auctions. Electric two-wheeler maker Ola Electric Mobility lost 3% following the resignations of two senior executives. Choice Broking’s Bhojane expects the market to remain subdued in the near term as investors await triggers such as monthly auto sales data and the December quarter earnings.

In an interview with ETMarkets, Aggarwal said: “We have cut our base case 12-month NIFTY target to 27,381 from 27,867 earlier) and recommend selective buying on dips for long-term gains” Edited excerpts: We have witnessed a volatile November as markets keep moving from bullish and bearish phases. What is your call on markets? Amnish Aggarwal: November has been a rollercoaster for the markets, with the NIFTY down 6% since mid-October, driven by FII outflows, geopolitical uncertainty, and a strong dollar. Inflation, especially food inflation, has also pressured demand, particularly in urban areas, with October CPI at 6.2%. I remain cautiously optimistic on markets. Political stability post-state elections gives the government momentum for reforms and increased capex, which should drive growth. Rural demand remains steady, and I expect a boost from the festival and wedding seasons. However, inflation remains a challenge, and with CPI high, we likely won’t see rate cuts from the RBI until after the budget. I believe Capital Goods, Infra, EMS, Hospitals, Pharma, Tourism, Auto, New Energy, E-com, Jewellery etc. are good themes to play at current valuations.

We have cut our base case 12-month NIFTY target to 27,381 from 27,867 earlier) and recommend selective buying on dips for long-term gains. Market might be down by about 8-10% from the highs in terms of benchmark levels. But, are you getting any bargain buys at current levels? Amnish Aggarwal: Absolutely, with the market down around 8-10% from its highs, the correction has opened up attractive entry points in specific stocks. We have added Lupin, Polycab India, Aster DM Healthcare, DOMS Industries and Triveni Turbine to our high conviction picks. You Might Also Like: Strategy to avoid risky speculation when investing Lupin: Lupin is gaining from higher US and India sales and margins led by better product mix and cost optimization. Lupin saw remarkable turnaround in profitability with ~2x jump in EBITDA over FY23-24. Polycab India: Polycab’s revenue growth in the wires and cables segment will continue to be healthy, with stability in commodity prices, pick-up in government spending, continued investments by private players and robust real estate offtake. Aster DM Healthcare: We believe that margins will improve in India hospitals aided by gross margin expansion, healthy ARPOB, occupancy scale up, faster ramp up in its Whitefield new unit and bed additions. You Might Also Like: Stock-level steep correction: An opportunity for contrarian bets? DOMS Industries: DOMS has a diversified stationary & arts material portfolio and has outlined a capex plan of Rs 450 crore over 2 years to expand capacity in writing instruments, watercolor pens, markers and highlighters. We expect revenue/PAT CAGR of 26%/28% over FY24-FY27E. Triveni Turbine: The company is well positioned for sustained growth led by global energy transition and generation gap fuelling demand for its industrial and API turbines, and healthy order book of Rs 1800 crore with robust export/domestic inquiries. Trump pledges 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, and deeper tariffs on China. Do you see any impact for India Inc.? Amnish Aggarwal: The 25% tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and deeper tariffs on China will likely play in India’s favour, as global companies seek alternatives to China. India stands to benefit significantly in sectors like electronics manufacturing, textiles, chemicals, and engineering, with FDI in manufacturing already increasing by 20% last year. Trump’s foreign policy and stable crude oil prices (around $70–$75 per barrel) can further support India, particularly with reduced geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine conflict. That said, higher tariffs could push up the cost of raw materials and intermediate goods, impacting sectors that are reliant on imports like electronics and auto. Still, India is well-positioned to take advantage of the global shift in manufacturing, especially in IT, defence, and GCC sectors. Is there any beaten-down theme that is now attractive as the risk-to-reward ratio is more comfortable? Amnish Aggarwal: The Capital Goods and Engineering sector is now attractive, as its risk-to-reward ratio has become more comfortable. In Q2 FY25, Capital Goods sector reported more than 19% EBIDTA growth YoY and saw 9 rating upgrades. We have increased overweight on the sector from 280 basis points to 420 basis points, post sharp correction in key stocks. PL’s model portfolio includes stocks like ABB, Siemens, Polycab India, L&T and Bharat Electronics from this sector. We have also turned equal weight on L&T given attractive valuations. There is too much chatter about FIIs taking out money but they have been consistent buyers in debt. How do you think investors should read that? Amnish Aggarwal: The fact that FIIs have been consistent buyers in debt despite pulling out funds from equities suggests a shift in investment strategy, likely driven by concerns over market volatility and inflationary pressures. This trend indicates that foreign investors are favouring the relative safety and stable returns offered by debt instruments, particularly in the current environment where equity markets are facing corrections. With India's government bonds becoming a part of Bloomberg and JP Morgan bond indices, and soon to be a part of FTSE Russell index by Feb 2025, the outlook for India’s debt markets remains positive. For investors, this should be seen as a sign to diversify their portfolios. While equity markets may present attractive opportunities over the long term, given the recent pullback, debt investments offer a safer haven, especially as interest rates begin to stabilise. In light of a strong dollar and its global repercussions, how do you see currency movements affecting Indian investments? Amnish Aggarwal: A strong US dollar can have mixed effects on Indian investments. On one hand, a stronger dollar often leads to capital outflows from emerging markets like India, as investors seek safety in dollar-denominated assets, potentially putting pressure on the Indian rupee. This depreciation of the rupee can lead to higher costs for imports, especially for commodities and oil, resulting in inflationary pressures that could affect domestic consumption and corporate profitability. On the other hand, a weaker rupee can provide a competitive advantage to Indian exporters, such as those in IT services, pharmaceuticals, and auto components, as their products become cheaper in global markets, boosting their earnings. However, companies with dollar-denominated debt might face higher repayment costs, which could strain their financials. It will all boil down to how India manages its fiscal and current deficits.

Now that its December, you might be tempted to splurge on that new television marked down for Boxing Day. However, why not buy a quality Canadian stock and own a gift that keeps giving for years (and maybe even decades)? If you choose stocks wisely, they can reward far beyond the life of your television. Likewise, just imagine how many televisions you could buy if your stocks were to multiply by several times? If you’ve got $2,000 and don’t mind deferring some near-term gratification, these Canadian stocks could be big winners. This Canadian stock is in ultra-growth mode It has been an incredible year already for ( ). This Canadian stock is up 197% in 2024! PRL was driven by a combination of great growth and a nice valuation re-rating after the stock was dirt cheap in 2023. Propel provides small loans to non-prime consumers in the U.S. and Canada. With its specialized A.I. lending platform, the company can quickly scale and expand its service offerings. This Canadian stock has a lot of operating leverage. The bigger it gets, the better its margins become. Propel has grown earnings per share by a plus-50% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR). If it completes its recently announced U.K. acquisition, it could certainly keep up that pace in 2025. If it keeps executing its growth strategy, this Canadian stock could still be reasonably priced. A top winner in Canada ( ) trades for almost $4,800 per share. This ultimate Canadian stock has been an incredible compounder for shareholders for years. You don’t want to miss out on the action. Today, many brokerages offer fractional share purchases so you can afford to buy it, even if you only have $2,000 to spend. However, if you don’t have access to fractional shares, you can buy one of Constellation’s smaller spinout entities, ( ) or ( ). Both operate vertical market software businesses, and both are serial acquirers. The difference is that Topicus has a unique geographic focus in Europe. Lumine operates software businesses focused on media and telecommunications. Topicus acquires many smaller businesses. To date, Lumine has focused on larger carve-out opportunities. You can craft your weightings and strategy based on your preference. You can get access to all these businesses by owning the larger parent company, Constellation.

However, no one can argue with its track record of growing its stock by a 25% CAGR over the past 10 years. TFI is one of the largest shipping and transportation companies in Canada. It has a growing presence in the United States. Like Constellation, it is a serial acquirer. The freight sector is in a recession. While that hurts TFI’s operating income near term, it can still opportunistically acquire transport businesses at attractive valuations. TFI has had some operating issues, especially in the U.S. Yet, it continues to generate substantial free cash flow. As result, its balance sheet has remained strong and should support in 2025. Like the Canadian stocks above, TFI has a highly invested management team with a strong focus on high returns on investments. It is an ideal boring, industrial stock to hold for the next 5 to 10 years.Seahawks have taken a bumpy path to first place in the NFC West

MCG set a new record with over 350,000 fans attending the 2024 Boxing Day Test between India and Australia. Indian fans dominated, creating a vibrant atmosphere. IND vs AUS: The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) witnessed an unprecedented gathering of over 350,000 cricket fans for the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Cricket Australia confirmed on day five of the thrilling contest. This aggregate attendance shattered the 87-year-old record for the most fans attending a single Test match in the country. Historic Milestone The previous record was held by the MCG itself, with 350,534 fans attending the iconic Ashes Test in January 1937 over six days. The match, centered around Sir Donald Bradman’s legendary exploits, was a landmark moment in Australian cricket history. However, the 2024 Boxing Day Test, spanning just five days, has now surpassed that figure, reflecting the enduring allure of the traditional fixture. Indian Fans Paint the MCG in Blue A significant proportion of the crowd comprised Indian fans, adding a vibrant and electrifying atmosphere to the MCG. Nitish Kumar Reddy’s century was met with deafening cheers, making it feel like a home game for the Indian team. The stadium was packed with over 80,000 spectators on each of the first three days, culminating in a total of 87,000 fans on Boxing Day alone. Although day four saw a dip in attendance to around 40,000, Cricket Australia noted a remarkable surge on day five, with more than 50,000 fans entering the gates during the first session alone. To ensure the match remained accessible, Cricket Australia offered day five tickets at just AUD 10 (roughly INR 530), with free entry for children under 15. This initiative helped drive a projected turnout of over 70,000 fans on the final day, boosting the total attendance beyond the historic 350,000 mark. A Record-Breaking Contest While this match now ranks as the second-highest attended in cricket history, it falls short of the staggering 465,000 fans who attended the India vs Pakistan Test at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, in 1999. Nonetheless, the MCG’s feat underscores its status as a premier cricket venue, particularly during the festive Boxing Day Test. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy Delivers Drama As fans eagerly awaited a decisive fifth day, the MCG once again proved to be a theater of dreams, hosting a gripping contest that lived up to its billing. This remarkable turnout highlights the unifying power of cricket and the enduring passion of fans for the longest format of the game. With such overwhelming support from fans, the Boxing Day Test has reaffirmed its status as one of the marquee events on the cricketing calendar.

Commanders get by Falcons in OT for long-awaited playoff berth
HOUSTON (AP) — Rockets forward Amen Thompson threw Heat guard Tyler Herro to the floor to trigger an altercation that resulted in six ejections in the closing minute of Miami's 104-100 victory over Houston on Sunday. Thompson and Herro became entangled with Miami about to inbound the ball leading 99-94 with 35 seconds left. Thompson grabbed Herro by the jersey and tossed him, with referee Marc Davis describing it as Thompson “body slams Herro .” “I didn’t see it live, but I re-watched it,” Rockets coach Ime Udoka said. “They were in each other’s face, bumping chests a little bit, and one guy’s stronger than the other.” Herro, Thompson, and Udoka were ejected, as were Heat guard Terry Rozier, Rockets guard Jalen Green, and Rockets assistant coach Ben Sullivan. Davis said Green and Rozier escalated the altercation, while Sullivan was assessed a technical foul and ejected for unsportsmanlike comments as the referee was trying to redirect the Rockets' Alperen Sengun. The altercation occurred after Miami had come from 12 points down in the second half to regain the lead with the help of Houston missing 11 straight shots in the fourth quarter. Herro keyed the comeback, leading all scorers with 27 points and adding nine assists and six rebounds. He believed that's what frustrated Thompson. “Guess that’s what’s happens when someone’s scoring, throwing dimes, doing the whole thing,” Herro said. “I’d get mad, too.” Herro said he had never spoken to Thompson, who did not talk to reporters after Sunday’s game, so there was no previous bad blood between the two. “Just two competitors going at it, playing basketball,” Herro said. “It was a regular game that we were playing throughout.” Houston's Fred VanVleet had been ejected just before the fight, with Davis saying VanVleet made contact with him after being called for a 5-second violation. The win for Miami came 24 hours after losing 120-110 in Atlanta. The Heat were missing second-leading scorer Jimmy Butler for a fifth straight game, so Herro was proud of his team played against one of NBA’s best teams this season. “They’re top two, three in the West,” Herro said. “Very good defense. Got a bunch of young, athletic guys that can really play, so that’s a good win for us. That’s a stepping stone. We go 2-1 on the road. Put ourselves in a position to win yesterday, and I like how it’s going. We just got to continue to keep getting better.” The Associated PressLambton County OPP are investigating a break, enter and theft worth nearly $15,000. Around 4:20 a.m. on Nov. 12, police were called to a business on Industrial Drive in Watford. According to police, three people arrived on the property in a white full-size cargo van and broke into the business, stealing numerous tools. The total value of the stolen property is estimated to exceed $14,500. Police also said two people are seen wearing white coveralls resembling those commonly worn by painters, while the third individual is dressed in dark pants with a light-colored jacket. The vehicle involved is described as a white full-size cargo van with two side windows on the passenger side and full white panels with no windows on the driver's side — the van also had a burnt-out driver's-side headlight. If you have information that could help police with the investigation, you’re asked to reach out at 1-888-310-1122.
