Shares of GTL Infrastructure surged 42% over the past two trading sessions, climbing as much as 18.7% on Thursday to Rs 2.16 on the BSE, as investors piled into the small-cap telecom infrastructure stock despite no fresh corporate announcements.The rally is being driven by speculative interest and bullish technical indicators, alongside renewed optimism in the 5G infrastructure theme.On Thursday alone, nearly 66 crore GTL Infra shares changed hands on the NSE, highlighting elevated retail participation. The counter has drawn momentum-driven buying as broader markets turn favourable for small-cap infrastructure names.On Wednesday, June 11, GTL Infrastructure had already posted a strong gain of 12.5% to Rs 1.71 as of 11:46 IST, emerging as the biggest gainer in the BSE's 'A' group. Volumes surged to 390.79 lakh shares, compared with a one-month average of 87.54 lakh shares.GTL Infra rose to the top of the volume leaderboard, driven by traders seeking short-term gains amid strong market momentum. Optimism surrounding telecom infrastructure, particularly the 5G rollout, along with a broader rally in small-cap infrastructure stocks, has fuelled interest in the counter.Despite recent enthusiasm, GTL Infrastructure's longer-term performance remains subdued. Over the last one year, shares are up just nearly 2%, while having declined 6.3% over the past six months. However, the short-term trend has turned sharply positive: the stock has gained 34% in the last three months and soared 39.3% in just the past one week.From a technical perspective, GTL Infra is showing bullish momentum. The stock is trading above all eight of its key simple moving averages — the 5-day, 10-day, 20-day, 30-day, 50-day, 100-day, 150-day, and 200-day SMAs — signalling strength across short-term and long-term trends.Momentum indicators also point to sustained upside. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 79.8, well above the overbought threshold of 70, suggesting that a short-term pullback may be likely.Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is at 0, staying above both the center and signal lines, reinforcing the current bullish trend.Financially, the company continues to struggle. In May, GTL Infrastructure reported a net loss of Rs 248.89 crore for the March 2025 quarter, widening from Rs 214.72 crore a year earlier. Revenue for the period rose marginally by 1.79% year-on-year to Rs 337.02 crore, while EBITDA grew 12.58% to Rs 49.22 crore.: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

Stocks, Bonds & Correlation Chaos: Rethinking the 60/40 strategy
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel The concept of the 60/40 investment portfolio , which typically refers to an allocation of 60% in stocks and 40% in bonds, has long been the cornerstone of investing by retail and institutional offered a simple and effective way to manage risk and return. However, there has been considerable debate about the effectiveness of this approach in the current economic environment, and whether it is 'dead' or still stocks and bonds have exhibited negative correlation. However, this correlation has fluctuated in recent years owing to various factors such as geopolitical events, inflation, and interest stock prices rise (indicating a healthy economy), bond prices often fall (as interest rates might rise in response to inflation concerns).Conversely, when stocks decline, bonds typically perform better as investors seek safety. We first saw this positive correlation in early 2020, when markets faced the uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic, and both stocks and bonds 2021 to 2022, the US Federal Reserve and other central banks began to raise interest rates aggressively to combat rising inflation. As rates increased, bond prices fell, and the stock market experienced period saw periods of increased correlation, as both equities and bonds faced downward pressure from rising interest rates. Additionally, during times of geopolitical tensions (the Russia-Ukraine war, for example) stocks have often reacted however, did not always act as a safe haven during these times, leading to instances of positive correlation.A perfect example of this correlation was in 2022 when both bonds and stocks posted significant losses. The S&P 500 (a common proxy for equities) was down 18%, and the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index was down 13%.The combination of falling stock prices and rising interest rates resulted in a significant drawdown for the 60/40 strategy, an unusual deviation for this financial analysts and investors have begun to reassess the 60/40 approach due to its underperformance in recent years. The strategy's reliance on traditional asset classes has prompted discussions about diversifying into alternative asset classes such as real estate, commodities, hedge funds and private market investments can provide exposure to asset classes that may not correlate with traditional investments like stocks and bonds, helping to mitigate overall portfolio risk. For instance, real estate, commodities, or infrastructure assets can serve as a hedge against some argue that the traditional 60/40 portfolio is 'dead', it is perhaps more accurate to say that it may be less effective in an era marked by persistent inflation, geopolitical fragmentation, and policy strategies, revaluating asset classes, or shifting allocations based on economic indicators may be necessary going should regularly review their portfolios and potentially adapt to current and evolving market the choice of investments will depend on individual risk tolerance, investment goals, and market conditions, making it essential to approach diversification with a well- considered strategy.(The author is Managing Director, International Business, LGT Wealth India)(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views, and opinions given by experts are their own.

Contribute now New Delhi: In a matter of two weeks, the number of companies which are awaiting licences from China's Commerce Ministry to procure rare-earth magnets has nearly doubled. While the number of such companies was 11 earlier, it has now increased to 21, with new companies joining the list including Bosch India, Marelli Powertrain India, Mahle Electric Drives India, TVS Motor and Uno Minda, reported The Economic Times. 'These companies have duly filled in and got endorsed the end-user certificate and shipped the requisite documents to their suppliers for procuring rare earth magnets from China, but licences are yet to be awarded by the government there,' a senior industry executive told ET. On April 4, China had issued orders mandating exporters that ship medium and heavy rare earth magnets to seek a licence from its commerce department after getting an end-user certificate from the buyer. The certificate requires buyers to make certain guarantees including the guarantee that these items will not be used for storing, manufacturing, producing or processing weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems. According to data from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, 52 companies based in India source magnets from China to supply to automobile manufacturers across India. At present, stakeholders in the electric vehicle (EV) industry are concerned about the fact that inventories of rare-earth magnets used in EV traction motors and power steering systems could run dry by mid-July this year. Rating agency Icra has said that in wake of the depleting inventory, there is a need for urgent contingency planning. In FY 25, India imported around $200 million worth of rare-earth magnets. A majority of these imports were used in automotive and industrial applications. In electric two-wheelers, motors cost between Rs. 8,000 and Rs. 15,000, with rare earth magnets accounting for around 30 per cent of the motor cost.
