Ravindra V.Rao, CMT, EPAT VP-Head Commodity Research Kotak Securities:

WTI Crude oil trades flat near $77.80/bbl after a near 4% fall in the previous session. Price cap on Russian oil by G7 above the current market level is putting a downward pressure on price. As per the EU official they are considering a price cap on Russian oil between USD 65 to USD 70 which is around the level Russian crude is trading at. However, Russia has indicated that it will pull off the exports to nations who are joining the price cap. This will eventually be bullish for prices as supply tightness might trigger buying. 

Additionally, oil price also got a hit amid rise in product inventories as indicated by the EIA inventory report. On the positive side crude oil got some support from US Dollar weakness after the release of FOMC minutes. 

On the price front WTI crude oil didn’t sustain above USD 82/bbl level which was the resistance. However, the correction in oil prices might deepen further only if it closes and sustains below USD 75/bbl, the recent low which is also a double / identical bottom. Till then a range move expected between USD 82-76/bbl. Bulls need to close it above USD 82 if they want to take it to USD 85/bbl.

Insurance Companies In Focus:

The IRDAI has proposed another set of draft guidelines for the expenses of management and commissions for both life and non-life companies. 

For general insurance and health insurance companies, the revised draft proposes a 30-35 percent expense cap. The big change in the revised draft commission guidelines is the proposal to remove commission caps for both life and non-life insurers.

A report from CLSA suggests this to be positive for PB Fintech as it substantially reduces regulatory risk for commission rates. For life insurers, it says that HDFC Life and Max Life have been paying more to their bank partners while in the case of SBI and ICICI Pru Life, the brokerage would like to watch if the parent bank ask for more commissions from their insurance partners.

PB Fintech was quoting at Rs 425.90, up Rs 25.25, or 6.30 percent on the BSE.
