Nifty 50 Starts Strong Following Key Domestic and Global Cues
The Nifty 50 index opened higher on Tuesday, gaining over 33 points during pre-opening, signaling renewed investor optimism. This follows a volatile session on Monday, where the index fluctuated between gains and losses before closing lower.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net buyers on Monday, purchasing shares worth ₹724.3 crore, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) sold shares worth ₹1,648.1 crore. Positive sentiment in broader indices like the Nifty Smallcap 100 and Nifty Midcap 100 supported market momentum, along with sectoral indices like BSE Cap Goods and S&P BSE Industrials, which opened higher.

Shaktikanta Das Resigns as RBI Governor; Sanjay Malhotra Appointed
A major development influencing market sentiment was the resignation of Shaktikanta Das as RBI Governor, announced early Tuesday morning. The Centre’s Cabinet Appointments Committee has named Sanjay Malhotra as his successor, effective December 11, for a three-year term.

This leadership change comes amid a backdrop of expectations for a shift in monetary policy, with potential rate cuts anticipated in 2024 to support economic growth.

Stock-Specific Highlights

1. DCM Shriram
   The stock saw gains as the company signed an agreement with JSW Renew Energy Thirty Two, a special purpose vehicle, to develop a 68 MW wind-solar hybrid project. This initiative aims to replace its existing 40 MW coal plant, reflecting its focus on renewable energy. The company plans to invest ₹57.1 crore in the SPV.

2. Metropolis Healthcare
   The healthcare company announced the acquisition of Core Diagnostics, a specialty cancer testing chain based in Delhi NCR. The ₹246.8 crore deal, which includes cash and stock components, underscores Metropolis’ expansion in the cancer diagnostics space.

3. Bharat Electronics (BEL)
   Bharat Electronics witnessed positive movement after securing orders worth ₹634 crore. These include contracts for maintaining the Akash missile system, providing telescopic sights for guns, and developing electric voting machines (EVMs).

4. Vodafone Idea
   Vodafone Idea gained after its board approved a preferential issue of 175.5 crore shares worth ₹1,980 crore. Promoters Omega Telecom Holdings and Usha Martin Telematics will invest ₹1,280 crore and ₹700 crore, respectively. This move is expected to strengthen Vodafone Idea’s financial position.

Global Market Overview
Global indices offered mixed signals:

• US Markets: Major indices closed lower on Monday amid concerns over inflation and economic outlook.
• European Markets: Closed with mixed performance.
• Asian Markets: Trading mixed on Tuesday, with a focus on the upcoming US consumer price index (CPI) data.

The headline CPI for November is expected to rise 2.7% year-on-year, while the core CPI—excluding food and energy—remains well above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. These figures are key to gauging the likelihood of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.

Conclusion
Tuesday’s market session reflects a combination of domestic leadership transitions, strategic stock-specific developments, and global macroeconomic cues. Investors will keep an eye on the US CPI data release on Wednesday for further direction, while domestic markets react to the new RBI leadership and evolving sectoral opportunities.

With significant announcements across companies like DCM Shriram, Metropolis Healthcare, and Bharat Electronics, coupled with the government’s decisive move to appoint a new RBI Governor, the coming sessions could witness heightened activity across Indian equity markets.
