The role of the medical devices industry in ensuring business continuity and important deliveries during the pandemic has been critical. Covid-19 has once again brought Indian medtech to the epicentre.

This has further put the medical devices industry at the forefront, with unparalleled demand for products like diagnostic tests, personal protective equipment (PPE), masks, gloves and much more. While the crisis has placed these unparalleled demands, but the industry has responded with resilience and ability to integrate innovations swiftly. In an exclusive conversation with the Financial Express Online Anish Bafna, MD & CEO, The Healthium Group talked about how Healthium Group led the business continuity and responsiveness during the pandemic, given Healthium’s position as a leading medical devices manufacturer in India and other 70 geographies.

We reiterate Buy rating on IGL with a TP of Rs 610. As NCR starts to unlock, we expect quick recovery in CNG volumes. In Q4FY21, peers MGL and GGL have beaten expectations in CNG and guiding on a quick recovery ahead. We expect the same for IGL. With higher oil prices, CNG running cost currently is 65%/50% lower than petrol/diesel. Q3FY21 saw cars-taxi conversions jump to 8,333/month. We believe that despite return of public transport, Covid-led shift to personal mobility would not reverse entirely. Emkay Global Financial Services

The compression in trade deficit is on the back of a narrower deficit for petroleum products and gems & jewellery. In the near term, the overhang of Covid disruption could potentially persist until Jun-21, thereby resulting in a current account surplus in Q1 FY22. However, rising commodity prices, tapering of lockdown stringency, and anticipated ramp-up in vaccination in the coming months would push FY22 current account towards a deficit of USD 30 bn.

Rising inflation which could temporarily end the low-interest rate regime along with much-needed technical correction have led to a good fall in both Nifty & Nifty Bank. Technically, Nifty will have strong support at 15460, below which a further fall till 15355-15280 is a possibility. Resistance will be at 15774. Nifty Bank will have strong support at 33950 below which 33560-33300 looks possible. Resistance will be at 34525. AR Ramachandran, Co-founder & Trainer, Tips2Trades
Nifty has broken the important support of 15550, if it continues to sustain below then possible downside we can see 15450-15400 in near term, however, if manages to cross above 15600 then some pullback rally can come towards 15700-15750 Rajesh Palviya, Vice President, Research (Head Technical & Derivatives), Axis Securities
NIFTY can test the 15400-15450 zone, which would mean a full throwback as that would take NIFTY to the point from where it broke out. The behavior of NIFTY against the zone of 15400-15450 would be very crucial to watch over the immediate short-term. Milan Vaishnav, CMT, MSTA, Consulting Technical Analyst and founder, Gemstone Equity Research & Advisory Services
We continue with our cautious stance and expect Nifty and Banknifty to extend the corrective move towards 15400-15350 and 33500-33300, respectively. The major caveat here is the way MIDCAP index corrected from key resistance zone Sameet Chavan, Chief Technical Analyst, Angel Broking

“15720 – 15800 is to be seen as strong resistance zone; whereas on the lower side, a move below 15600 opens up the downside towards the next important support zone of 15450 – 15350. Traders are advised to stay light and even if one wants to take stock specific longs, better not to carry leveraged positions overnight,” said Sameet Chavan, Chief Analyst-Technical and Derivatives, Angel Broking.

Expect Nifty to test 15,350 if the support zone of 15,605-15,565 is broken. Rahul Sharma, Director and Research Head, JM Financial SErvices
The markets tried keeping above the 15700 level but failed to do so which goes to prove that this zone which was a good support is now a resistance for the Nifty. The current trend needs to be re-evaluated next week to come to a conclusion on whether the short term positive trend has ebbed or is this just a breather.

After trading nearly dead for a month, the rupee finally delivered the most awaited move. Well, history always suggests that the longer the pair trades range-bound, the sharper and stronger is the breakout. And that’s what really happened. A surprisingly hawkish tone from the Fed and with Jerome Powell also noting that the discussion about scaling back bond purchases will likely start soon helped the dollar to scale up to multi months high of 91.85 levels creating havoc in the Emerging market currencies. Finally, the rupee has managed to break 73.80 crucial resistance yesterday. With markets remaining too volatile, it gave a “WIN-WIN situation” for both importers and exporters. Importers were lucky to get an appreciating move till 72.40 and now are sitting risk-free. For the ones who have missed the opportunity to buy further, should now look for a dip near 73.50-73.70 levels. While exporters who were advised to cover partially in the range of 73.30-73.40 and wait for a further upside momentum could now encash gains from the higher USDINR spot rate and sell in tranches above 74.00-74.40 levels for the near term.

INR leads the EM Asia FX pack in losses on Thursday as the markets digest the hawkish FOMC with the median dot chart now indicating two rate hikes in 2023. This has help push the broad dollar up another 0.7% today (currently at 91.65), implying pressure on EM currencies, led by high beta ones. This comes in conjunction with RBI’s reiteration of its FX stance in Wednesday’s bulletin, where it indicated that FX reserves are still not adequate enough when seen in the light of cross country comparison ratios, high net international investment position of (-)12.9% of GDP and random shocks amid heightened global uncertainty — all of it implying that RBI’s tactical FX intervention in FX will be biased towards dollar purchases, keeping INR subdued/EM underperformer even in case of healthy EM flows.

Once the lockdown is lifted completely, pent-up demand may lead to an uncertainty in price levels, particularly in the core inflation category of the CPI. Core inflation in the CPI, which continued to remain sticky at above 5% since last year, demands close attention, given the excess liquidity floating in the system. The RBI’s measures to keep the interest cost low through G-Sap, OMOs and other liquidity boosting measures to incentivise Covid-19-battered sectors further augment liquidity, with a substantial increase in money supply.
