Indian shares are likely to open higher on Monday, tracking gains in Asian equities following favorable US jobs data. The SGX Nifty, an early indicator of NSE Nifty 50 Index's performance in India, was up 0.48 percent at 10,818 as of 0718 IST. On Friday, the 50-share Nifty advanced 23 points to close at 10,773, while the Sensex rose 83 points to end at 35,658. Stocks are likely to take cues from the upcoming quarterly results season, along with macro-economic data points on industrial output and inflation.

However, continued strengthening of the US dollar, lack of foreign investment inflows and concerns over rising oil prices are likely to keep the rupee under pressure and push it down to the 70 mark this week, news wire PTI reported. A level of 69.30 remains crucial for the domestic currency, which if breached, could further plumb down to the 70 mark against the dollar, the report said.

In Asia, stocks gained in early trade today, extending Friday’s gains. Shares in Japan nudged higher, while Hong Kong futures pointed to gains. Nikkei was trading higher by over 200 points or nearly 1 percent. Sentiment in other markets was mostly positive after Friday’s US payrolls report showed tame wages and more people looking for work.

JioGigaFiber effect as Cable TV shares plunge for 2nd day##JioGigaFiber effect as Cable TV shares plunge for 2nd day

Stocks of Den Network, Hathway Cable and GTPL Hathway plumbed to new 52 week lows on Friday. The counters have witnessed a sharp sell-off after Reliance unveiled its JioGigarFiber roll-out plan on Thursday in its 41st AGM. The Siti Networks counter, though not at a new 52-week low, too saw selling pressure. What’s noteworthy about the offering, is that it isn’t just a broadband service but a total connected home solution. And given how Reliance has disrupted the telecom services market with Jio, the street is clearly wary about what lies ahead for broadband and cable operators. Shares of Den Networks were trading at Rs 61.45, down by 7.66 percent, while Hathway Cable scrips were down by 11.17 percent to Rs 18.30. Siti Networks was at Rs 12.99, falling 2.84 percent on the BSE at 1 pm.

Abhishek Kothari's quick take on decline in AU Small Finance Bank's shares##Abhishek Kothari's quick take on decline in AU Small Finance Bank's shares

Shares of AU Small Finance Bank declined sharply today perturbing the Dalal Street today with no clear reasons behind it. The one factor, however, that could be spooking traders is that the pre-IPO lock-in period for 8 crore shares allotted to anchor investors ends tomorrow. Given that Saturday’s are non-market days, any selling of such shares by the investors will only be possible on Monday, July 9. Since the bank’s IPO, 17 crore shares have been under lock-in. This includes 9 crore shares held by the promoters, in addition to those with anchor investors. Will the promoters or any of these investors sell any of their holdings following this unlocking? That’s hard to say, but the possibility, it seems, is enough to drive market players to lighten their positions.

Importantly, AU Small Finance Bank recently raised Rs 300 crore from Singapore-based fund, Temasek Holdings, through a private placement of 43.3 lakh shares at a price of Rs 692.77 / share—a 9% premium to the current market price. Temasek has also subscribed to 1.01 crore warrants, which are convertible at the same price. Shares of AU Small Finance Bank were trading at Rs 661.10 at 12.25pm on the BSE, falling by 1.09 percent.
