Top Stocks in Action Today

DHFL share price will be in focus as with DHFL group companies' debt mess coming under lens, global brokerage Credit Suisse warned that it could trigger a second wave of risk aversion in India's debt mutual fund industry.

A report from the global brokerage stated that DHFL is among the largest borrowers from mutual funds and the aggregate exposure of debt mutual funds to the home financier's securities is Rs 85 billion.

This amounts to about 0.7% of debt mutual funds' assets under management (AUM) as of December 2018.

Furthermore, the exposure for some fund houses is larger, at 2-10% of total debt AUM, with some schemes having up to 30% of their AUM invested in Dewan securities.

Tata Motors share price is likely to be in focus today as the company has reported 8% decline in total domestic sales at 54,915 units in the month of January 2019.

Tata Motors sold 59,441 units in the domestic market in January 2018.

Company's domestic sales of passenger vehicles witnessed a drop of 11%, at 17,826 units in January 2019, as compared with 20,055 units sold same month last year.

Foreign Investors Pour in After Interim Budget

Taking cues from the budget announcements last week, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) bought Rs 13.2 billion worth of domestic stocks on Friday, data available with NSE suggested.

On the other hand, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) were net sellers to the tune of Rs 50 million.

Speaking of FII data, note that 2018 was a turbulent year for the Indian stock markets. Foreign investors dumped Indian equities worth Rs 33,014 crore and debt instruments worth Rs 47,795 crore. In fact, they have continued to be net sellers in Indian stocks even in 2019. So far in January 2019, they have sold equities worth Rs 2,675 crore.

Had it not been for the solid participation from domestic investors, the Indian markets would have witnessed a much steeper fall.
