PL Capital's Vikram Kasat said markets could stay volatile, with investors watching earnings, oil prices and currency stability.

- Rupee rises to 94 . 80 against US dollar , but crude oil threatens recovery
The rupee gained 9 paise to 94.80 against the dollar in early trade, extending its recovery to a third straight session after closing at 94.89 on Friday. Traders said it was the sharpest rally in seven months, but high crude prices, rising U.S. Treasury yields and steady foreign outflows have kept pressure on, prompting the RBI to step up interventions. Brent fell 1.88% to $107.79 per barrel after surging to $110, amid attacks on vessels near the Strait of Hormuz and threats to Saudi energy infrastructure. The Sensex dropped 470.50 points to 74,318, while foreign institutional investors bought a net Rs 1,165.92 crore of equities on Friday. India's forex reserves fell $8.578 billion to $726.027 billion in the week ended October 9, after a $12.952 billion decline the previous week.
- Rupee Rises 9 Paise to 94 . 80 Against US Dollar
The rupee gained 9 paise to 94.80 against the US dollar in early trade on Monday, supported by the Reserve Bank of India's structural forex interventions, with forex traders calling it the sharpest rally in seven months. The biggest threat is Brent crude, which has surged near USD 110 a barrel and was trading at USD 107.79 after a 1.88 per cent drop amid attacks on commercial vessels near the Strait of Hormuz. High crude prices, rising US Treasury yields and steady foreign capital outflows have pushed the RBI to step up intervention. Domestically, the Sensex fell 470.50 points to 74,318 and the Nifty dropped 147.10 points to 22,999.05, while FIIs bought equities worth Rs 1,165.92 crore on Friday. India's forex reserves fell USD 8.578 billion to USD 726.027 billion in the week ended October 9.
- Kenyan shilling holds near Sh129 for over two years despite global oil price surge
For 27 months the Kenyan shilling has hovered around Sh129 per US dollar, and the Central Bank of Kenya quoted Sh129.89 on Friday, extending a low-volatility phase that began in July 2024. That is a sharp improvement from about Sh160.8 in January 2024, when imported fuel, food and machinery were costlier. Analysts link the stability to a February 2024 $1.5 billion Eurobond that let the government repurchase most of a $2 billion maturing bond, while the central bank credits steady inflows from remittances, farm exports and foreign-reserve buffers. However, rising global oil prices from Middle East tensions lifted pump prices in October and limit how far the stable rate can lower consumer prices. A $100,000 import would now cost about Sh12.99 million rather than the roughly Sh16.08 million at the January rate, saving around Sh4.09 million before other charges.
- Rupee falls 3 paise to close at 94 . 92 against US dollar
The rupee settled 3 paise lower at 94.92 per US dollar (provisional) on Monday, snapping a six-session winning streak as a sharp fall in Indian equities and a rebound in crude oil prices weighed on the currency. Foreign institutional investor outflows and high crude prices continued to pressure the rupee, which had gained about 2% in the week ended October 16 on RBI measures to curb spot dollar demand. Brent crude traded at $108.58 per barrel, while the Sensex fell 876.37 points to 73,852.90 and the Nifty dropped 257.20 points to 22,888.95. Analysts said RBI measures may steady short-term moves, but a sustained recovery depends on lower oil prices and better foreign capital flows. India's forex reserves fell $8.578 billion to $726.027 billion in the week ended October 9.
- Sensex sinks 876 points , Nifty falls 1 . 11 % as Crude oil nears USD 109
India's Nifty 50 closed at 22,888.95, down 257.20 points or 1.11%, and the BSE Sensex fell 876.37 points or 1.17% to 73,852.90 on Monday as weakness in private banks, disappointing corporate earnings and rising crude prices weighed on sentiment. Axis Bank fell more than 4%, and almost all NSE sectoral indices closed lower, with only the Nifty PSU Bank index rising 2.41%. Brent crude traded at USD 108.50 a barrel, raising concerns about imported inflation and corporate costs. The rupee firmed for a seventh straight session to near 94.95 per dollar, but RBI reserves fell by USD 8.6 billion to USD 726 billion in the week ended October 9, a drawdown of nearly USD 60 billion since early September. Asian markets were mixed, with Japan's Nikkei down 0.64% and South Korea's KOSPI up 1.73%.

- Is TC Energy (TRP) a Good or Bad Investment at Today's Multiple?
TC Energy trades at 21.19 times next year's expected earnings, closing at $61.74 on October 16 after a 1.5% return over 6 months, versus 10.5% for the Insider Monkey Billionaire Index and 9.3% for the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. The company operates natural gas transmission pipelines across Canada, the United States and Mexico, plus power generation, with a 44.25% operating margin, and latest-quarter earnings rose 18.00% on revenue up 5.70%. The article flags risks including debt at 170.37% of equity, the loss of crude oil pipelines to South Bow in 2024, and volumes that depend on North American gas demand from power and LNG exports. A 4.01% yield is cited as income while the market decides whether the stable business justifies the multiple relative to its growth.
- Should You Buy This Trump AI Stock Ahead of Earnings?
Microsoft (MSFT) reports quarterly results on October 28 and ranks eighth in Trump's latest stock portfolio, after Trump bought the stock five times in August. Bulls point to Azure growth of 43% last quarter, with management expecting about 45% in the current quarter, and to demand that exceeds available computing capacity. Bears cite rising capital spending that Deutsche Bank says could push free cash flow close to breakeven in fiscal 2027, about two-thirds of spending going to short-lived equipment such as chips, and OpenAI making up about 45% of the commercial backlog in the December quarter. The stock trades at 26.75 times forward earnings, a 27% premium to the sector median of 21.01 but 12% below its own five-year average of 30.47, with a PEG ratio of 1.70 versus a sector median of 1.14. The article concludes that investors pay more than for the average tech stock but less than they usually pay for Microsoft.
- What Is Williams' (WMB) Economic Moat, and Is It Steel or Permits?
Williams (WMB) closed at $71.28 on October 16, with a 0.5% return over 6 months, compared with 10.5% for the Insider Monkey Billionaire Index and 9.3% for the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. The article argues its main advantage is the Transco pipeline, which runs from the Gulf Coast up the eastern seaboard, where several attempts to build new pipe have been abandoned after failing to win approvals. A 39.54% operating margin and 21.50% return on equity are cited as evidence of this advantage, although revenue rose only 7.80% last quarter. Limits noted include debt at 200.37% of equity, rules that also restrict Williams' own growth, and a price of 26.81 times expected next-year earnings. The dividend yields 2.95%.
- Marvell Jumps 6% as GF Securities Says Google Chip Delay Won’t Dent Its Position; Broadcom Rises 3%
Marvell shares rose 6% to $241.27 in afternoon trading after a reported delay in Google's next TPU chip, while Broadcom gained 3%. GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu said the delay does not change Marvell's medium- to long-term position in Google's chip supply chain. Marvell reported Q2 FY2027 revenue of $2.74 billion, up 36.5% YoY, with its Data Center segment at $2.17 billion, or 79% of revenue. Google can acquire up to 7% of Marvell shares under a warrant tied to revenue targets, and management expects its custom business to more than double in fiscal 2028. Q3 revenue guidance is $3.15 billion, plus or minus 5%, with non-GAAP gross margin of 57.5% to 58.5%, and the article notes Marvell still needs to convert its Google programs into reported revenue.
- Is ONEOK (OKE) Cheap at 14 Times Next Year’s Earnings?
ONEOK (NYSE:OKE) closed at $93.31 on October 16 and returned 11.4% over six months, versus 10.5% for the Insider Monkey Billionaire Index. The stock trades at 14.49 times next year's expected earnings and yields 4.59%, and revenue rose 52.80% last quarter as the company grew through acquisitions. The article argues that much of this growth was bought rather than built, with only 13.25% of revenue remaining as operating profit and debt at 143.07% of equity. Because a large part of the business involves buying and reselling liquids rather than earning transport fees, the article views the discount as having a reason behind it. It concludes that investors should watch margins rather than revenue.
