Share Market Highlights 2 May 2025: Profit booking leads to negative bias in Indian markets; Nifty below 24,300

Sensex, Nifty, Share Price LIVE:Indian stock markets reversed their early gains on Friday, turning negative by mid-session due to profit booking and sector-specific concerns. After starting strong, with the Sensex surging over 800 points and Nifty gaining over 225 points, the indices faced pressure from selling in metal, auto, and FMCG stocks. The Sensex was trading at 80,217.48, down 24.76 points, or 0.03%, while the Nifty slipped 81.50 points, or 0.33%, to 24,252.70. Market breadth remained negative, with more decliners than advancers. JSW Steel, the biggest laggard, fell over 6%, dragging metal stocks lower, while Eicher Motors, Bajaj Auto, and Nestle India also posted losses. On the flip side, Adani Ports saw a significant 4.14% rise, along with other gainers like Maruti Suzuki and IndusInd Bank. With high trading volumes in key stocks, investors are awaiting further market direction, amidst ongoing volatility and sector-specific dynamics.

    Stock Market live today: GST collection numbers for April 2025 by Karthik Mani, Partner, Indirect Tax, BDO India

    The gross GST Collections for April 2025 have scaled a new high of Rs. 2.37 lakh crores, against the previous high of INR 2.10 lakh crores in April 2024. The growth in GST collections for April is expected since GST on transactions during March, which is the last month of the fiscal year, is payable in April. Due to significant number of year end transactions which take place in March, traditionally, GST collections for April are significantly higher. 

    However, specifically for April 2025, another indicator, which led to anticipation of significantly high GST collections was the 20.2% growth in generation of e-way bills in March 2025, as per data in the monthly economic review for March 2025 released by the Department of Economic Affairs. This is since increase in e-way bills generation is typically correlated with higher economic activity and consequently, higher GST collections.

    Gold technicals live: Technical analysis suggests potential bearish consolidation for gold and stable range for silver prices

    Renisha Chainani, Head of Research, Augmont, writes: Gold prices have slipped by the easing of tariffs and the willingness of both the United States and China to listen and back off. The United States has reached out to China for talks regarding President Donald Trump’s 145% tariffs, and Beijing is amenable to them.

    · Meanwhile, U.S. manufacturing shrank for a second consecutive month in April as supply chains were constrained by tariffs on imported goods, which kept prices high at the factory gate and prompted some companies to fire employees.

    · The US NFP data which is expected to be announced today is expected to show a 130,000 job gain in April, down from a stellar 228,000 job creations reported in March. A reading below 100,000 could raise concerns about the impact of tariffs on the US labor market and bring a rebound in gold price.

    Technical Triggers

    · Gold prices have retraced 50% of their rally from $2970 (~Rs 86650) to $3509 (~Rs 99350). Now we can expect some consolidation to bearishness towards $3200(~Rs 92000) and $3170(~Rs 91500).

    · Silver prices are expected to consolidate between $32 (~Rs 93500) and $34(~Rs 98500).

    Stock market live today: Five star Q4 FY25 results: Tepid growth amid testing times

    1) Fivestar’s PAT beat IIFLe/consensus by1%/4% as NIM compression (-52bps qoq) and higher opex was offset by stronger non-II (+26% qoq) and lower CC vs expectation. But, AUM/disbursement growth as well as underlying AQ was weaker primarily due to the impact from the KA MFI bill. 

    2) Net slippages increasing by 31bps qoq to 1.7% (ann.), unique CE declined 50bps qoq and 30+ DPD increased by 50bps qoq to 9.65%. Credit costs increased by 4bps qoq to 88bps even as PCR on stage 1+2 reduced by 14bps qoq. 

    3) Additionally, we are also watchful of recently proposed TN bill (29% of AUM) that restricts coercive recovery practices like in KA that can impact AQ as well as growth. 

    4) Retain BUY from medium term perspective with TP of Rs880 (18% upside, unchanged) given Five Star’s attractive business model that can deliver ~6-7% ROAs and ~18-20% steady state (delayed due to slower growth) with less volatile spread/credit costs vs its AHFC/MFI peers and higher growth runway vs Gold NBFCs.

    Stock market live today: Macro and market update this morning

    The Bank of Japan (BOJ) kept interest rates steady on Thursday and sharply lowered its growth forecasts, signaling prolonged caution due to the uncertain global trade environment. With concerns over U.S. tariffs and weak exports weighing on sentiment, the BOJ suggested that conditions for future rate hikes may take time to materialize. As a result, the yen weakened to a four-week low, with the dollar climbing 1.7% to 145.45 yen, buoyed by renewed optimism surrounding potential trade agreements between the U.S. and its partners.

    Meanwhile, in the U.S., manufacturing remained under pressure, contracting for the second consecutive month in April. The ISM Manufacturing PMI fell to 48.7—its lowest in five months—from 49.0 in March. Tariff-related disruptions to supply chains pushed up input costs, forcing some firms to cut jobs, even as overall layoffs announced by employers declined.

    On the diplomatic front, a Chinese state media outlet reported that the U.S. had reached out to Beijing through multiple channels to resume talks and defuse the ongoing tariff dispute. The outreach hints at a potential thaw in the standoff that has rattled global markets.

    In China’s property sector, the average resale home price across 100 cities dropped by 0.7% MoM in April, as more inventory entered the market, intensifying competition. YoY, resale home prices plunged 7.2%. In contrast, new home prices rose by 2.5% over the same period, underlining a divergence in market trends.

    South Korea offered a mixed picture, with exports showing surprising resilience despite external headwinds. Driven by robust semiconductor demand, exports rose 3.7% year-on-year in April to $58.21 billion—the fastest pace in four months. However, signs of strain emerged in the automotive sector, which has started to feel the heat of rising global trade tensions.

    On the domestic front, Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections hit an all-time high of Rs 2.37 lakh crore, rising 12.6% year-on-year Domestic GST collections grew 10.7% to Rs 1.9 lakh crore, while revenue from imports surged 20.8% to Rs 46,913 crore. Net GST revenue stood at over Rs 2.09 lakh crore, up 9.1% year-on-year, reflecting strong economic momentum and fiscal year-end reconciliations.

    India’s external sector also reached a milestone, with total exports of goods and services touching a historic high of $825 billion in FY25. This was largely fueled by a record $386.5 billion in services exports. In March alone, services exports jumped 18.6% to \$35.6 billion, defying global trade headwinds.

    On the inflation front, retail price pressures eased for rural India. Inflation for farm workers dropped to 3.73% in March 2025, down from 4.05% in February. Similarly, inflation for rural workers eased to 3.86%, compared to 4.10% a month earlier, as per official data—offering relief to households in the hinterlands.

    Asian market

    Asia market opened mixed today even as all three key benchmarks on Wall Street advanced overnight on optimism that a slowdown in the global economy will not impede the progress of developments in artificial intelligence.

    The Indian rupee’s ascent to multi-month highs may extend further on Friday, supported by a broad uptick in Asian peers and anticipated portfolio inflows.

    The one-month non-deliverable forward indicated that the rupee will open at 84.42-84.44 to the dollar, inching up from its close of 84.4875 on Wednesday. India’s financial markets were shut on Thursday.

    The rupee rallied nearly 1% on Wednesday after breaching a key resistance level, marking its best day in more than two years. The rally was spurred by stop-loss triggers on long dollar positions, inflows, and increased hedging by exporters.

    The rupee had been repeatedly testing the 84.90–85.00 zone, where the 200-day moving average resides, a trader at a Mumbai-based bank noted. - Reuters
