Collection of news clippings about Share Market (HSC Project)
INTRODUCTION
A
stock market (also known as an equity market or share market), is a collection
of buyers and sellers of stocks. These stocks represent ownership interests in
companies. These may include publicly or privately traded securities. The
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is an example of a share market.
Usually,
large companies will list their stock on a stock exchange because it makes
their shares more liquid (i.e., easy to buy and sell), which investors love.
This liquidity also attracts international investors.
As of 2017, the Global
Stock Market is now worth a record $76.3 Trillion. The NYSE has a
market capitalization of roughly $21 trillion and is the largest stock market
in the world.
· Aims and Objectives
The share market is a source for companies
to raise funds and for investors to buy part-ownership in growing businesses
and grow their wealth. In a share market, shares are
bought and sold.
·
The
main objectives of stock market are:
1. RAISING MONEY FOR BUSINESS: Stock exchanges around the world enable companies around the world to
raise money. Nowadays, they're mostly electronic markets where licensed stock
brokerages, and the traders representing them, buy and sell shares. Through
exchanges, private companies sell stock in the form of publicly traded shares.
Those wishing to invest in stock place buy or sell orders through regulated
brokerage firms.
2. CAPITAL FORMATION: The primary function of a stock exchange is to help companies raise
money. To accomplish this task, ownership in a private corporation is sold to
the public in the form of shares of stock. Funds received from the sale of
stock contribute to the firm's capital formation. Companies plan to use the
newly-raised funds to invest in productive business assets and grow revenues
and profits. This positive business expansion then may be reflected in a higher
stock trading price.
3. SECURITY AND TRANSPARENCY: The legitimate sale of stock on any exchange requires reliable and
accurate information. By requiring a high level of transparency from all
trading companies, the stock exchange creates a more secure environment for
investors, which helps them to determine the risks of investing.
4. TRADING OF STOCKS: An organized and regulated stock exchange facilitates the efficient
trading of stock and other investment vehicles. Without this highly controlled
and coordinated stock exchange, the global trading of stock would not be
possible. Through the stock exchange, any individual or company may buy or sell
shares in another company. In fact, at any one time, there are thousands of
company shares being traded through millions of individual transactions.

Share Market today: Indian
stock markets (Sensex and Nifty) ended in the red on Thursday, following
the onset of fresh trade war worries. The Sensex dipped in the late
afternoon deals following the negative closing in other Asian markets and
subdued global cues on the back of renewed trade war tensions between US and
China. BSE Sensex ended the day’s session at 37,165.16, down
356.46 points while NSE Nifty slipped below the psychological level of 11,250
to a day’s low at 11,249.95, down 96.25 points, and ended the day at

ITC, Maruti
Suzuki, TCS and M&M were the major draggers in Sensex and
Nifty today.
The major
sentiment dampeners in the day’s trade include RBI’s repo hike by 25 basis points, declines
in the regional Asian shares following downbeat Wall Street and renewed
trade war spat between US and China. Meanwhile, the US Federal
Reserve kept the interest rates unchanged yesterday.
Asian
stocks dropped on Thursday as the latest escalation in the Sino-US trade war
hit Chinese shares, while global bond markets were rattled by increased
borrowing by Washington and Japan’s new tolerance for higher yields, a Reuters
report said. The US administration on Wednesday increased pressure on
China for trade concessions by proposing a higher 25% tariff on $200
billion worth of Chinese imports, the report added. We bring to you the key
highlights of today’s trade.
4. HDFC AMC’s Prashant Jain
explains why slowdown will not affect stock market much
By: https://www.financialexpress.com | Published:

Even as the stock market remains amid the
ongoing slowdown, Prashant Jain of HDFC AMC says that the stock market will not
be affected much by it, given the composition of the Nifty. “In this slowdown, everyone is focussing on GDP slowdown and auto
sales but no one asked how much is the consumption slowdown in discretionary
spending or in automobiles going to impact the market?,” Prashant
Jain, ED & CIO, HDFC Asset Management said in an
interview to ET Now. Jain said that one-third of the Nifty is composed of
heavy-weight financials, which are actually poised to do well as the
provisioning cost will come down for banks.
Further, Jain noted that nearly one-third of
the market in India, as per the index weights pertain to global businesses –
software, pharmaceuticals, metals, oil and gas, refining. These businesses have
got pretty much nothing to do with the current status of the economy. “Interest
rates are down, currency is depreciated. So in a way good for them, two-thirds
of the market is out. Another 5% of the market is utilities which again is not much
impacted by economic slowdown,” he told the channel.
Financials, these global business
dependant-sectors and utilities make up more than 70% of the market
composition, he said, adding that another 10% is capital expenditure roughly
which is actually doing well. “If you break up the market this way and
start asking questions, the economy at an aggregate level is not doing great.
Things are slowing down but how does it impact? You will realise that broadly
three-fourth of the market is not impacted,” Jain told the channel.
Amid the current slowdown, Jain reckons
that financials will be beneficiaries as the provisioning cost will come down
for banks. “The pace can be discussed but by next year, we should be back to
near normal levels of provisioning and profitability. Many of the NBFCs are
facing some challenges. Not all of them but quite a few of them. Banks should
be able to gain share. Even in an environment of slow overall credit growth,
banks should do reasonably well,” he noted.
5. Yes Bank shares extend losses,
down after previous mega rally on reports of Rana Kapoor stake sale

Shares of private sector lender Yes Bank plunged on Friday morning
to emerge a the biggest Sensex loser, paring Wenesday’s gains after reports
that founder Rana Kapoor is in talks with Paytm to sell stake. Yes Bank share
price plunged more than 5.6% to hit the day’s low at Rs 64.10 on BSE. On
Wednesday, YES Bank shares jumped over 15% on September 11 trade
after media reports that co-founder Rana Kapoor is in talks with Paytm to sell
his stake in the bank. Rana Kapoor has approached Paytm’s boss Vijay
Sharma to sell his family members’ and his own stake in Yes Bank for Rs
1,800-2,000 crore, CNBC TV-18 reported citing sources as saying. The companies
are still negotiating on the price and other issues, the news channel added.
Ø Conclusion
You can make a lot of money investing in stocks
or trading in the stock
market, but it is not something for the new investors. Care
must be taken when it comes to stock investments. The investor must have
a solid understanding of stocks and how they trade in the market or risk losing
money in a volatile type of investment.
