SUMANSPEAKS June 23, 2026 SumanSpeaks Independent Capital Markets Intelligence · Estd 2006 Legal Intelligence · EPC Sector The Court That Keeps Giving SEPC Ltd (₹6.82) Another Chance to Breathe From a ₹195 crore Singapore arbitration decree to a ₹2 crore salary lifeline — how the Madras High Court became the most interesting character in SEPC's ongoing legal saga, and why the retail investor is watching the wrong plot entirely Indian markets love to price fear. And when a company simultaneously carries a Singapore arbitration award, a CRISIL D rating, and a Madras High Court order on its file, the average retail investor does not pause to read the fine print. He sells first, panic-tweets second, and asks questions never. SEPC Limited (BSE: 513446) has been living in this particular purgatory for over three years — down on bad days, overlooked on good ones, and relent...

Winning Strokes : Think Different The dark clouds have been hovering over the markets since the last few days, due to the reasons mentioned in my last post. Today the BSE closed at 36,227.14 down 97.03 or 0.27% while the NSE ended the day at 10,930.45 down 47.10 points or 0.43%. Metal, Small cap, Auto and Realty stocks were biggest draggers today (Index declined 5% each). Nifty has been treading a southward path since the last few week and this month the decline was a whooping 7% decline, worst since the Lehman Brothers' crash in 2008. IL&FS's debt payment crisis, and Brent crude's price hike are some of the major reasons for markets to go in for such sharp cuts. For Nifty 500 stocks, the advance to decline ratio was at 1:4. As expected Mid-caps and select NBFC stocks were hammered today. Infibeam Avenues nosedived by ~70%, though the company clarified that it has given interest free unsecured loan to its subsidiary NSI lnfinium Global Pvt Ltd. It clo...
Winning Strokes : Think Different Photo : Ro.Aliment The Nifty declined over half a percent to close below 11000 at 10977.55. Nifty fell by around 6% in September F&O series expiry -- one of the worst F&O expiry in seven months. All the major indices recorded a sharp decline yesterday except the Tech stocks. Some of the Negatives affecting the Indian bourses are: IL&FS default on debt repayment, Brent Crude spiked to 4-year high, Increased USD-INR ratio, Concern of a trade war between China and US, US Fed hiking interest rate by 25 bps on Wednesday and more importantly Deepening of the NBFC crisis with SEBI now seeking the details from mutual funds about their exposure to all NBFCs and housing finance companies; amid concerns over liquidity in the system. In such a scenario, I can only foresee further sliding of the Indian markets (Nifty Spot) to levels 10930/10870. The traders are suggested to keep in abeyance all their buy calls, as was m...
Winning Strokes : Think Different Photo : Zricks.com In a highly volatile session, the Indian equity markets ended in red ahead of September series F&O expiry and caution ahead of US Federal Reserve decision on interest rate.

IL&FS Ltd's default on debt repayment, rising USD-INR ratio and spike in crude oil price in the international markets, had a negative sentiment in the Indian bourses. US Fed will announce its interest rate decision, tonight. Nifty future closed in the negative with the losses of 0.33% at 11050. On option front, maximum Put OI is seen at 11000 ...

Winning Strokes : Think Different The market declined sharply, extending yesterday's steep fall.

Overseas, Asian market were in broadly negative territory on Tuesday. US stocks closed mostly higher Monday, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq each snapping a four-day losing streak on the back of a recovery in technology shares. The White House reportedly announced that it was in the process of coordinating a second meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Trade also remains another focal point for markets, with Canada and the US yet to secure a deal that would replace the North American Free Trade Agreement. Trump announced last Friday that he was ready to slap tariffs on an additional $267 billion of Chinese imports, on top of the $200 billion already in the administration's sights. On the data front, consumer borrowing picked up in July...
