PSX hits record high on Fitch's positive outlook on banks
The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) soared to a new all-time high on Monday, propelled by Fitch's positive outlook on Pakistan banks and Moody's upgrade of the country's rating to Caa1. Strong earnings, rupee stability and optimism about Pakistan-US trade and investment deals strengthened investor sentiment, driving the KSE-100 index up by 1,705 points to above 148,000, stated analysts. Ahsan Mehanti of Arif Habib Corp commented that stocks closed at a new all-time high as Fitch Ratings provided investors with a brighter outlook on Pakistan banks amid Moody's rating upgrade to Caa1. A strong earnings outlook, rupee stability, speculation about Pakistan-US trade and investment deals and the government seeking further US export tariff incentives led the PSX to a record close, he said. At the end of trading, the benchmark KSE-100 index recorded an increase of 1,704.79 points, or 1.16%, and settled at 148,196.42. According to Topline Securities, bulls staged a strong comeback in Monday's trading session, with the KSE-100 index surging 1,904 points intra-day before closing at an all-time high of 148,196, up 1,705 points. Market sentiment brightened on reports of the government's circular debt reform drive, which entails reducing liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes, revising RLNG pricing and mobilising funds through LNG diversion savings, state-owned enterprises' dividends and power sector receivables. Detailed proposals are expected to be announced next week, sustaining investor optimism, Topline said. Heavyweights such as Lucky Cement, Meezan Bank, Bank AL Habib and Pakistan Petroleum contributed a combined 756 points to the index's upward momentum, it added. Overall trading volumes increased to 610.3 million shares compared with Friday's tally of 473.6 million. Traded value rose to Rs39.2 billion as compared to Rs32.9 billion in the previous session. Shares of 487 companies were traded. Of these, 283 stocks closed higher, 175 dropped and 29 remained unchanged. WorldCall Telecom was the volume leader with trading in 40.7 million shares, falling Rs0.01 to close at Rs1.40.

India bonds tumble on tax-cut jitters, erase S&P upgrade gains
MUMBAI: Indian government bonds tumbled on Monday, wiping out gains from S&P's rating upgrade last week, as proposed tax cuts reignited fiscal concerns and stoked fears of heavier debt supply. The benchmark 10-year bond yield ended at 6.4968%, up nearly 10 basis points from Thursday's close of 6.4003%. Bond yields move inversely to prices. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday announced sweeping changes to the goods and services tax (GST) regime which will make daily essentials and electronics cheaper from October. The tax cut plan, however, entails a fiscal cost given GST is a major revenue generator. IDFC First Bank says the cuts will cost states and the federal government $20 billion annually. 'People are not comfortable buying bonds amid so much uncertainty,' said Debendra Kumar Dash, senior vice president of treasury at AU Small Finance Bank, 'There is growing fiscal concern, constant VRRR auctions by the central bank, and no clarity on a potential US-India trade deal.' While bond market participants rapidly sold positions, the government is optimistic that the country's fiscal deficit target can still be achieved. Meanwhile, Economists at UBS Securities see lower GST rates having a disinflationary effect, creating room for more central bank interest rate cuts. 'With underlying inflationary pressures remaining benign…we see space for the terminal repo rate to fall to the 5.0-5.25% range,' Tanvee Gupta Jain, Chief India Economist at UBS wrote in a note. Rates India's overnight index swap rates rose on Monday as mounting fears of fiscal pressure and heavier government bond supply prompted traders to pay across the curve. The one-year OIS rate was up 3 bps at 5.54% and the two-year OIS rate INR2YMIBROIS=CC was up 4 bps at 5.5%. The liquid five-year OIS rate INR5YMIBROIS=CC rose 6 bps to 5.7275%.

India's Kotak Mahindra unit secures UAE licence to sell funds to retail investors
Kotak International, the global arm of India's third-largest private lender Kotak Mahindra, said on Monday it has been given a licence by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to sell investment funds and portfolios to onshore retail investors. Kotak is the first Indian firm to receive a licence from the UAE's Securities & Commodities Authority, as more UAE investors show interest in Indian markets. The firm plans to launch its first India-focused retail funds in the Gulf country by the final quarter of 2025. 'India has got a story which is extremely wide and diversified,' Shyam Kumar, Kotak International's president, told Reuters, noting this makes it appealing to foreign investors. 'You have a very young population, working population, so that makes it very strong and resilient in terms of economic growth.' Unlike India, the UAE does not tax personal income or capital gains on fund returns, making the country an attractive base for global investors. While Kotak has previously engaged UAE-based investors via wealth managers and insurance platforms, its new licence enables the firm to directly solicit investments from retail clients, moving beyond traditional high-net-worth clientele. 'It really expands the scope,' Kumar said, noting clients will now be able to access Kotak's funds with a minimum investment of around $500. Indian nationals are the largest expatriate community in the UAE, representing roughly 35% of the population. They're also the top foreign investors in Dubai real estate, purchasing over 35 billion dirham ($9.53 billion) of property in the emirate last year, according to real estate agency Aeon & Trisl. While Kumar noted the importance of the Indian population in Kotak's UAE expansion strategy, he said the firm has a broader goal of attracting investors in the country beyond the diaspora. Kotak's move to court retail investors comes amid a deepening financial integration between India and the UAE. In July, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made his seventh visit to the Gulf nation, where he signed key agreements to link India's digital payment system to the UAE and boost bilateral trade.
