Equity mutual funds' net inflow drops 76% to Rs 2,258 cr in November
The net inflow in equity mutual funds plunged 76 per cent to Rs 2,258 crore in November over the preceding month amid a sharp up move in the stock market that made investors wary of higher valuation. This also marks the 21st straight month of inflows into equity schemes. Overall, the mutual fund industry registered net inflows of Rs 13,263 crore in November, slightly lower from Rs 14,045 crore seen in the previous month, data released by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (Amfi) showed on Friday. Apart from equity, debt-oriented mutual fund schemes witnessed a net infusion of Rs 3,668 crore during the period under review after withdrawing Rs 2,818 crore in the preceding month. Other schemes -- index funds, gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs), other ETFs and Fund of funds investing overseas -- saw an inflow of Rs 10,394 crore. This was mainly driven by index funds, which contributed Rs 8,602 crore alone. However, gold ETFs witnessed a net withdrawal of Rs 195 crore. As per the
Business Wire India Citi Global Wealth Investments (CGWI) today released its Wealth Outlook 2023 (Outlook) report, titled Roadmap to Recovery: Portfolios to Anticipate Opportunities . Published twice yearly, Outlook provides in-depth insights into the global economy and financial markets for the year ahead and beyond. The latest editions title reflects the investing journey that CGWI envisions and the steps that investors should consider diversifying their portfolios. In 2023, CGWI predicts the weakest annual global economic growth in forty years outside of the Global Financial Crisis and the COVID shutdowns. The year ahead is likely to see: A shallow US recession and worse in some other places such as the Eurozone A recovery in Chinese growth, by contrast, as pandemic restrictions are relaxed US inflation continuing to ease, ending 2023 at around 3.5% The US Federal Reserve to start cutting interest rates by the second half of the year A 10% drop in global earnings per share Just as 2022s global market turmoil reflected these forecast conditions for the year ahead, investors will likely start to focus on 2024s recovery during 2023. With the current equity bear market probably incomplete, CGWI enters the year positioned defensively, but expects to pivot as the year progresses. Over time, the US stock market has never bottomed before an associated recession has even begun, so we regard recent equity upside as a bear market rally, says David Bailin, Chief Investment Officer and Head of Citi Global Wealth Investments . A year like 2022 can make holding excess cash seem tempting, but the clear lesson of history is that this almost always leads to missing opportunities when markets begin to recover. For 2023, we reiterate the fundamental wisdom of keeping portfolios fully invested, anticipating the opportunities that we expect. CGWI sees a likely sequence of potential opportunities, including: Short-term US investment grade fixed income amid todays higher interest rate environment Defensive equities such as resilient dividend payers as the bear market continues for now Non-cyclical growth equities to bottom before cyclicals once the Fed pivots to cutting rates A subsequent entry point into more cyclical equities Deep value in select non-US assets and currencies once the US dollar peaks Certain alternative strategies to position for distressed and other opportunities following the recession The sharp declines across many asset classes in 2022 has left long-term valuations more attractive, said Steven Wieting, Chief Investment Strategist and Chief Economist at Citi Global Wealth Investments . For the first time in several years, for example, we see genuine portfolio value in fixed income. Short duration US Treasuries present a compelling alternative to holding cash. CGWI has also updated its case for unstoppable trends, the powerful multi-year phenomena that continue to reshape business and everyday life, as well as portfolios. These include digitization, aging populations, the rivalry between the US and China and the transition to clean and secure sources of energy. CGWI highlights ways to seek exposure to these transformational forces in portfolios. To access the full report, summary versions, short videos and other materials can be accessed here .

Moonpig flotation price, like so many, was always pie-in-the-sky thinking | Nils Pratley
Youd think fund mangers would have deployed degree of scepticism after years of overvalued businesses Flotation fever is a dangerous condition, and the bout experienced in early 2021, we can now say, was severe. The cohort of stock market arrivals included Made.com (down 100% from its float price), Deliveroo (off 77%) and Dr Martens (47% lower). Now comes Moonpig. Floated at 350p, the online gifts and greeting cards retailer sits at 138p after Wednesdays half-year update , which brought a revision to full-year in revenue forecasts from 350m to 320m Moonpig seems reliably profitable as Dr Martens is. One could even call the business model clever. The cards are printed only when the customer orders, which is terrific for cashflow, and the add-on gifts are a margin-enhancing opportunity to sell to a self-selecting audience. Continue reading...
What are candlestick patterns in crypto?
Market Watch Technical analysis also helps analysts recognize sudden movements in the market. Team Giottus Technical analysis is one of the most important tasks before stepping into any market to trade, whether it's a stock market, a derivatives market, or the crypto spot market. Candlestick patterns are one such tool for technical analysis and can be used to identify past patterns in trading. They are useful for traders since one can set up a trade after analyzing a candlestick pattern in detail. A candlestick represents the movement in the price of an asset, which can be a stock, derivative or any other asset. A rice merchant from Japan named Munehisa Homma is credited with introducing the system to traders. A candlestick pattern may contain several characteristics, which include: Color: The color of the candlestick is very important since it indicates the direction of the market's movement. Green or white would denote a price increase, while red or black may denote a decrease. Body: The body of a candlestick represents the open to close range. Shadow/Wick: The candlestick's wick or shadow reveals the intraday high and low. With time, the entire movement of a market can be represented through a pattern of candlesticks. Traders can identify support and resistance levels of an asset through such patterns, set stop losses or set a profit order through such patterns. Candlestick patterns issue bullish or bearish signals in the markets and make it easier for traders to comprehend them. Bullish candlestick patterns include some popular patterns like hammer, inverse hammer, bullish engulfing and many others, which indicate a state of upward sentiment in the market after a downtrend. Traders take advantage of such patterns and set long positions to benefit from such a situation. On the other hand, bearish candlestick patterns usually form after a bull run and help traders form short positions on the market. There may also come a time in the markets when it is usually trading flat, and there is not much movement in any direction. The candlestick pattern forms a continuation in such a case and helps traders recognize neutrality in the market. Some continuation patterns in such situations are doji, spinning top, or the falling three methods formation. It is also a known fact that history tends to repeat itself in trading markets, with movements getting repeated over time. Technical analysis also helps analysts recognize sudden movements in the market, which may sometimes be suspicious. Insider trading or dumping of stocks could trigger a sudden movement in an asset's price. Technical analysts identify such incidents and work to minimize their effects on their investments.

Additionally, they are trying to reduce the rate of inflation. The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates by half a point at its meeting next week.

Share price today: 38p. One cannot, then, yet say the board has been vindicated by events.

Difference Between Online Trading and Offline Trading
If you want to be successful in share trading, you should have a good hold of the fundamentals of the share market. One such aspect is knowing about the differences between online and offline trading. After the advent of the internet, stock trading became possible online. In earlier times, it was used to be done by brokers who would put buy and sell orders on your behalf. Compared to a brokerage account, an online trading account simplifies trading. Like all other online platforms, an online trading account automates everything. You will get clear insights and track everything that is happening with your account. As it is difficult to trade directly in stock markets, you must approach a broker or broking platform. But nowadays, you can trade confidently through the online trading accounts. If you are a millennial investor, you might not have heard the term offline trading. However, it was offline trading that traders in India relied upon before 1996. With the rise of online platforms, traders are able to keep complete track of their key investments. On the other hand, an offline trading account has lost its sheen. If you want to trade in the online trading platform , you should be aware of the differences between online and offline trading. Overview of Online Trading Online trading is a simplified version of offline trading that has been properly digitized. Online trading refers to selling and buying assets over an online platform by a broker. Nowadays, online trading involves the selling and buying of stocks, bonds, EPFs, mutual funds, currencies, etc. In online trading, brokerage agencies execute trades on behalf of the traders and investors. A depository participant and a bank account are typically linked to the online trading account. One of the key benefits of online trading is its speed. Nowadays, everyone wants their transactions to be completed speedily. In online trading platforms, transactions can be completed in seconds as they can search and compare prices across numerous databases. What is Offline Trading? When you physically notify the broker to place a trader over an exchange, it is known as offline trading. In offline trading, you have to contact your broker over the call or visit their office. The broker will verify the information of your trading account and execute a trade on your behalf. In offline trading, you will have the opportunity to communicate with the broker properly. In this manner, it becomes easier to know the current market condition of the stocks. Major Differences between Online and Offline Trading Here are some of the major differences between online trading and offline trading. Ease of Trading Note that online trading is done individually, and all transactions are made based on the preferences of the individual. In other words, you wont face any type of interference from external sources in online trading. On the contrary, in offline trading, the broker executes all the transactions. Online trading is more convenient in todays world as any device can be used for trading. All you need is a good-quality internet connection, and transactions can be carried out faster. Offline trading requires the individual to approach the office of the broker. You have to make detailed phone calls to initiate the transactions. Convenience People having access to a stable internet connection can monitor their online trading activities from any place. However, this is not possible with offline trading. For placing orders or any other issues, you have to communicate with the broker. Moreover, it is difficult to get end-to-end visibility in offline trading. In online trading, you will have access to clearer insights that make your overall experience fruitful. Fraud In online trading, the risk of possible fraud would be minimized. This is because online trading allows users to have full control over their trading activities. Moreover, your online trading account is secured by various layers of security. It is virtually impossible to hack your trading account to avoid malpractices. Online trading accounts are based on digital transactions. Digital transactions prevent fraudulent activities like impersonation and trapping users. On the contrary, in offline trading, you have to rely on the broker for every minute of trading activity. And if you are dealing with a dishonest broker, the risks are always higher. Expertise and Knowledge Users opening an online trading account are always at the risk of being carried away. They can purchase or sell shares without research. But this can be avoided with offline trading. If you are dealing with a professional and transparent broker, things can fall into place quickly. The broker will make you aware of the current market trends and share their experience of trading. This is one of the major advantages of offline trading that you should know. You should consider these differences before embarking on the trading journey.
