How copper prices are getting affected by complex interplay of supply and demand

Copper prices have fallen over 8% on the back of lower-than-anticipated demand from China, which is the largest consumer of the metal, accounting for over 50% of global consumption. Copper had been rising at the start of the year on the expectation that China’s property market would strengthen, but disappointing economic releases have weighed on the price. The industry is considered a leading indicator of global economic health and is used widely in renewable energy technologies, electronics, vehicles, and electrical grids. The US Federal Reserve's policy measures also put a dampener on business sentiment.

FPIs invest Rs 37,316 crore in May on strong domestic macro fundamentals, reasonable valuation

Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) have invested Rs 37,316 crore in Indian equities in May, the highest in the past six months. This inflow is attributed to strong macroeconomic fundamentals and reasonable stock valuations. A positive resolution on the US debt ceiling and good domestic macro-economic data could lead to fresh asset flows from foreign investors. The recent quantitative tightening cycle in the US and India's outperformance in global equities has improved the FPI flow outlook. The sustained buying by FPIs has pushed the NSE's Nifty benchmark index up 2.4% in May so far.

Nifty F&O Strategy: Index headed towards 18,800, opt for long 18,500 call, says ICICIdirect

Based on the midcap index's fresh life highs and Nifty testing psychological 18500 levels, analysts suggest that the index may maintain a positive bias and move towards 18800-18850 levels by the expiry, with aggressive put writing visible at 18400 and 18300 strikes for the coming week. Analysts advise bullish traders to opt for the long 18500 Call with a target of 150 and stop loss of 45 until expiry, as the open interest at the inception of June series and FII positions remain relatively low and fresh longs are formed in the index. However, high Nifty premiums may remain a cause of concern.

Why a US debt deal may only provide short-term relief for markets

The tentative deal between President Biden and Kevin McCarthy to raise the US debt ceiling may have negative consequences for financial markets. Once the deal has passed, the government is expected to make large bond issuances, which could lead to a liquidity drain from banks and cause financing to become more expensive for companies already struggling in a high-interest rate environment. Some banks fear that markets have not yet accounted for this risk, and some warn that delaying the resolution could cause volatility in the market. However, some believe that the drain on liquidity could be absorbed by money market mutual funds.
