INDIA NEWS | Mon, 12 Jan 2026, 6:01AM IST The Nifty enters the new week on a weak footing after breaking key trend supports and short term moving averages, signalling a bearish bias. Persistent selling on intraday recoveries and rise in volatility suggest downside risks toward the 25,30025,350 zone, while sentiment is unlikely to stabilise unless the index decisively moves back above the 25,90026,100 resistance band.SOMIL MEHTA HEAD OF ALTERNATE RESEARCH, MIRAE ASSET SHAREKHANWhere is Nifty headed? The Nifty has broken below its ascending trendline and closed under the key 20-day moving average (DMA) of 26,062 and the 40-DMA at 25,970, confirming short-term weakness. Momentum indicators have flashed a negative crossover. The index could drift toward 25,300, with a sell on rise strategy advisable until a decisive break above the 26,100 resistance. A put-call ratio of 0.51 signals bearish sentiment, while volatility is likely to persist. Trading strategies Nifty (Positional): Sell on a bounce toward 26,000 for targets of 25,800 and 25,300, with a stop loss at 26,200. Avoid fresh long positions until a DEMA crossover reversal is seen. TOP STOCKS LIC: Sell at Rs 830, stop loss at Rs 860, target Rs 750. The stock has broken a bearish flag pattern on the daily chart and is trading below its 20-day moving average. Momentum indicators have given a negative crossover, and the trend is expected to continue downward. CAMS: Sell at Rs 727, stop loss at Rs 760, target Rs 650. The stock has broken a bearish triangle pattern on the daily chart and is trading below its 20-day moving average. Momentum indicators have turned negative, suggesting further downside.RUPAK DE SENIOR TECHNICAL ANALYST, LKP SECURITIESWhere is Nifty headed? Technically, the index has broken below its rising trendline, indicating rising bearish sentiment across the market. It has also slipped below its 50-day EMA (25,902.7) on the daily timeframe for the first time in over three months, signalling a bearish shift in trend. India VIX has spiked sharply and moved above its 50-day EMA (10.6), reflecting heightened investor anxiety. Trading strategies Bank Nifty has formed a dark cloud cover pattern on the weekly chart, a bearish reversal signal. A selling opportunity may emerge once Bank Nifty falls below last weeks low of 59,154. Traders can sell Bank Nifty below 59,150 for a target of 58,800, with a stop loss above 59,300. TOP STOCKS Hindustan Zinc: Sell below Rs 606, stop loss at Rs 615, target Rs 585. The stock saw a pullback in the last session after sharp selling in the prior two sessions. While it recovered marginally, it faced resistance near the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level before closing lower. The RSI is also exiting the overbought zone with a bearish crossover. Emcure Pharmaceuticals: Buy at Rs 1,541, stop loss at Rs 1,494, target Rs 1,660. Stock has broken out of a 3-month consolidation, indicating pickup in buying. Technical indicators and overlays support positive momentum. 126473327DHUPESH DHAMEJA RESEARCH ANALYST, SAMCO SECURITIESWhere is Nifty headed? Technically, the Nifty has slipped into a crucial make or-break zone near 25,600, where the 20-week EMA and 100-day EMA converge. Market structure has weakened, with every intraday recovery over the past week facing swift selling pressure and the index closing below the previous days high for five straight sessions. The breakdown below the 25,700-demand zone has amplified downside risks. Trading below the 20-day and 50-day EMAs, the 25,90026,000 zone has now turned into strong overhead supply. With the RSI below 40, a sustained breach of 25,600 could drag the index toward 25,350, while only a decisive move above 26,100 would restore bullish confidence. Trading strategies Adopt a sell-on-rise approach near the 25,80025,850 zone, with a stop loss above 25,950, targeting 25,40025,450 on the downside. Options traders may deploy a bear call spread by selling the 25,500 CE and buying the 25,750 CE of the January 20 expiry to benefit from overhead resistance with limited risk. TOP STOCKS The Ramco Cements: Buy at Rs 1,093.80, stop loss at Rs 1,035, target Rs 1,200. The stock is displaying a constructive bullish setup after forming a base above the rising 200-DEMA, with higher lows signalling accumulation on dips following the correction from the Rs 1,180 zone. The upward turn in the 20-DEMA and 50-DEMA, supported by improved volumes and an RSI near 68, reinforces strong momentum without signs of exhaustion. Endurance Technologies: Buy at Rs 2,622, stop loss at Rs 2,520, target Rs 2,810. The stock is showing early signs of a bullish reversal after a base-building phase, with a decisive breakout above the declining trendline signalling a shift in short-term structure. Sustained trading above the 200-DEMA at Rs 2,584 and the formation of a higher low point to improving price strength.

INDIA NEWS | Mon, 12 Jan 2026, 6:00AM IST Mumbai: Banks led by State Bank of India will reassess extending fresh funds to Vodafone Idea after the government last week approved a relief package freezing the telcos adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues and stretching repayment over 16 years.Bankers said the decision has altered the company's liability profile, adding that clarity on its funding needs and future business plans are crucial for considering fresh funding.Banks have been wary of lending to Vi because of its huge liabilities, majorly consisting of statutory dues including deferred spectrum payment and AGR liabilities, strained cash flows, and doubts about its ability to service new loans. Our team will reassess (extending fresh funds) in the light of the new developments, a senior bank executive familiar with the details said.Vi required Rs 35,000 crore, according to the plans shared by the company previously. We need to figure out how much they need now and how much is viable based on the firm's cash flows, the banker told ET on condition of anonymity. Its a big amount and will have to come from a consortium of lenders for which banks will have to meet and decide. 126470464 Staggered RepaymentsLead lender SBI did not reply to an email seeking comment. Last week, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) froze Vis AGR dues of Rs 87,695 crore for the period from 2006-07 to 2018-19, and allowed staggered repayments over 16 years until 2041. Under the revised schedule, Vi will pay Rs 124 crore annually for six years between March 2026 and 2031, followed by Rs 100 crore per year for four years from March 2032-35. The remaining amount will be repaid in equal annual instalments over six years from March 2036-41, after a DoT-appointed committee reassesses the final liability, the filing said. This means nearly 95% of Vis AGR liability of Rs 87,695 crore will remain frozen for the next decade. This is a significant development as it deals with a big overhang, a second bank executive said. Vi needs funds. But banks will look to also hear from the company on its needs and plans for the future.Debt BurdenThe person said many banks have no exposure to Vi now as their loans have been repaid, but they remain engaged with the company The DoTs decision has come as a huge relief to the telco, which was facing payment obligations of Rs16,400 crore in March 2026. While the company continues to grapple with a total debt burden of nearly Rs2 lakh crore, it mostly comprises statutory dues including Rs1.2 lakh crore in spectrum dues. Fresh funding is crucial for Vi to continue its network investments as its equity raise of more than Rs 20,000 crore done in April 2024 has been utilised. The company did not reply to an email seeking comment. Bankers said with clarity on AGR dues, both debt and equity funding is back on the table. They need funds, so it could be a mix of both, a third banking executive said. They will reach out to banks with their plansmay be after a few weeks, based on which banks will also make their own assessments and form a new consortium, the executive said.Strategic InvestorThe company may also tap the equity markets, experts said. Bringing in a strategic investor is also a possibility. ET had reported in September 2025 that the government is scouting for a strategic investor to pump in $1 billion in Vi for a 11-13% stake. US PE firm Tillman Global Holdings was reportedly in talks for an investment.

INDIA NEWS | Mon, 12 Jan 2026, 12:34AM IST For months, many Canadians hoped Donald Trump had lost interest in making their country the 51st US state - his plate full with turning Washington and the global trading system upside down.Those hopes are fading.The shock capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and Trump's ramped-up talk of seizing Greenland have rattled Canada, forcing citizens to take seriously the US president's past threats to Canadian sovereignty. The administration's declaration that "THIS IS OUR HEMISPHERE" makes Trump's earlier comments about annexing Canada seem ever less like mere insults aimed at former PM Justin Trudeau, or negotiating tactics in his trade war with current PM Mark Carney.A blunt column in Canada's largest national newspaper went viral this week warning of the possibility that Trump may use "military coercion" against the country. The authors' advice: Learn from Finland's defenses against Russia. Expand the civil defense force. Build a national drone strategy, inspired by Ukraine's example. And think about the unthinkable. "It's all about changing the calculus," said Thomas Homer-Dixon, one of the authors and a Canadian academic who researches global security. "If there is an attempt to use military coercion against us, it needs to be clear that it's going to be enormously costly." The fear has even inspired its own dark comedy. A widely-shared story on The Beaverton, a satirical website similar to The Onion, sported the headline, "Mark Carney turns off geolocation on phone just in case."While Trump's actions have unnerved leaders around the globe, Canadians have particular reason to worry. After all, with Greenland, Trump and his advisers are seeking control - even raising the possibility of military action - of a territory that is democratic, strategically located in the Arctic, and part of Nato. Canada is all of those things, too. "I think many officials in Ottawa just find it hard to believe that we're in this space, no matter what the evidence is," said Wesley Wark, a former adviser to the Canadian government on security and border issues. Most analysts doubt the US military would invade Canada. "I still do believe that's in the realm of science fiction," said Stephanie Carvin, associate professor at Carleton University in Ottawa and a former national security analyst for the Canadian government.

INDIA NEWS | Mon, 12 Jan 2026, 12:24AM IST Mumbai: Credit demand in India is getting a boost from the reduction in the goods and services tax (GST) and a more accommodating monetary policy, which have helped spur investment activity, data from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) shows. As of the end of December, credit demand saw a year-on-year growth of 14.5%, according to CMIE data. Investment proposals in the first nine months of the financial year increased to 26.62 lakh crore, up from 23.62 lakh crore a year ago, data showed, supporting the pickup in credit growth. Outstanding bank credit at the end of December stood at 203.2 lakh crore, crossing the 200-lakh crore mark for the first time. Year-to-date (YTD) credit expanded by 20.78 lakh crore, compared with an increase of 13.18 lakh crore in the same period a year ago.126470158 At 11.4%, the YTD credit growth surpassed the previous year's 8%, despite lingering uncertainty over trade deals, pointing to a rebound driven by rate cuts. The pace of credit expansion has already exceeded the 11% growth projected for FY26 by the Reserve Bank of India and professional forecasters in the Monetary Policy Report released in October. This month's credit and deposit data was released after recent amendments to the Banking Regulations Act, 1949, that allow the RBI to publish credit and deposit numbers on the 15th and the last day of the month, instead of alternate Fridays-a move aimed at reducing interpretational ambiguity. Outstanding aggregate deposits stood at 248.5 lakh crore, up 12.7% on a year-on-year (y-o-y) basis and 10.1% on a YTD basis. In the corresponding period a year ago, deposits rose by 9.8% y-o-y and 7.8% on a YTD basis. "Credit growth is being driven largely by auto loans, which typically pick up at the end of the calendar year, along with demand from small and mid-sized companies, finance companies and the home loan segment," said Saurabh Bhalerao, associate director and head of BFSI research at Care Ratings. "That said, a base effect has also come into play. Last year's data was for December 27, 2024, the final reporting Friday of the month, which makes the 14.5% growth appear particularly strong," he said. A bank analyst said, "In any case, the growth looks high partly because these are month-end numbers, and one should factor in an element of window dressing that happens at the end of every quarter. Also, due to this base effect, the 14.5% credit growth may not be sustainable." A credit growth of 14.5% was last reported on July 12, 2024, RBI data showed. That said, demand could remain resilient if higher investment intentions translate into actual spending. "There has been a tendency for interest rates to also come down, which is expected to spur investment activity," said Bank of Baroda in its report Investment Climate in 9 Months-FY26. "Hence, the investment environment does appear to be positive in the present financial year." The top five sectors accounting for around 80% of total proposed investments include electricity, chemicals, metals, IT and transportation. Bank credit growth had fallen to a three-year low of 8.9% on a y-o-y in May last year, after which the RBI announced a 50 basis point cut in the repo rate, against market expectations of a 25 basis point reduction, and surprised markets with a staggered 100 basis point cut in the cash reserve ratio. The weak credit demand during that quarter may have prompted RBI governor Sanjay Malhotra to urge lenders last August to revive "animal spirits" and push credit growth. At a FICCI IBA conference, the governor told bankers and corporate heads to "champion the entrepreneurial spirit" and urged lenders to push the "frontiers of growth and seize the opportunities". If credit growth is sustained at the current levels, it could surpass the 11.5-12.5% forecast by Care Ratings and the 10.7-11.5% projected by Icra.
