The worst day of 2023, PSU Banks shines through, Companies line up for IPOs

Market Breadth as of Week Ending 17th Sep 2023

Click here to read about how to understand and interpret the above grid.

September 12th, 2023, marked the most significant single drawdown day of the year. Such occurrences are uncommon, with the last one happening nearly 9 months ago on December 23rd, 2022.

Only time will reveal whether this signifies the beginning of a correction or just a hiccup in the current bullish market. My prediction leans towards a mild correction in specific sectors, with strong stocks remaining resilient.

Count of Stocks falling more than 3% in a single day

In the midst of this tumultuous week, PSU banks stole the spotlight. The PSU banking index emerged as the top performer of the week, delivering an impressive weekly return of over 6.13%.

IT, Pharma, Autos, and Private Banks also held their ground, while everything else either remained stagnant or dipped into negative territory.

India Sectoral Index performance for this week

One individual who has been consistently advocating for PSU banks is Madhu Kela. Amid the challenges of 2022, Madhu identified an opportunity in PSU banks early on with a straightforward thesis: NPA cycles were at their lowest, provisions were at an all-time high, and the turning interest rate cycle leading to higher net interest margins.

Here is the interview from 2022, I am sure he is laughing all the way to the bank today.
