South Korean brokerages are ramping up preparations ahead of SpaceX's blockbuster initial public offering on Friday, as soaring investor interest fuels expectations of one of the biggest overseas stock trading events in recent years. According to industry sources on Monday, securities firms are enhancing customer services, including round-the-clock foreign exchange services and extended overseas stock trading hours, as they prepare for a surge in demand for SpaceX shares. Major brokerages have b
Shares of TCS, India's largest IT services company, plunged 2% to an intraday low of Rs 2,144 on the BSE on Monday as a surge in U.S. bond yields reignited concerns that the Federal Reserve may be forced to raise interest rates later this year. With today's decline, the stock has lost 12% over the last four trading sessions.Higher U.S. bond yields and expectations of tighter monetary policy are generally seen as negative for Indian IT stocks. They tend to compress valuations of growth-oriented companies, raise concerns about slower technology spending by U.S. clients, encourage businesses to focus on cost optimization rather than expansionary IT investments, and can trigger foreign investor outflows from emerging markets.The weakness in TCS also follows a sharp relief rally in IT stocks last week. The sector has remained under pressure through much of 2026 amid growing concerns that rapid advances in artificial intelligence could disrupt the traditional software services business model.Should you buy TCS shares?“We recommend avoiding TCS for now as the major trend is bearish,” Sudeep Shah, Vice President and Head of Technical & Derivatives Research at SBI Securities told ETMarkets. According to Shah, momentum indicators have weakened considerably, with the RSI turning lower after nearing the 60 level, suggesting fading bullish strength. He also pointed out that the stock has slipped below the Bollinger Band midline, an important support level often tracked by technical analysts. With the latest decline, TCS has fallen below several key short- and long-term moving averages, indicating a weakening trend.Harshal Dasani, Business Head at INVasset PMS, said the stock's technical setup has shifted from weakness to a test of a potential breakdown. According to him, the 9% decline following a 6.53% rebound in the last week suggests the earlier recovery was merely a dead-cat bounce rather than evidence of fresh buying interest. "When a large-cap stock gives up a relief rally this quickly, the market is not reacting to a single negative headline. It is repricing the entire low-growth IT model," Dasani said.On the upside, he sees the Rs 2,400-2,450 range as a significant supply zone, since the recent recovery attempt stalled in that region. Dasani added that until TCS manages to reclaim this band with strong participation, any rallies are likely to face selling pressure.TCS share price performanceTCS shares have fallen over 32% since the start of the year and about 37% in the last 1 year.TCS reported a 12% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 13,718 crore for the fourth quarter, while revenue from operations increased 10% YoY to Rs 70,698 crore. The company also announced a final dividend of Rs 31 per share.During the quarter, TCS secured three large deals, taking the total contract value to $12 billion for the period. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, revenue grew 5.4%, while constant currency growth came in at 1.2%, broadly in line with expectations. Operating margin for the January to March quarter stood at 25.3%, up 10 basis points from the previous quarter.

With the benchmark index - BSE Sensex down by over 10,000 basis points to a level of 74,243 as of June 6, 2026, has left many investors wondering whether to continue SIPs and lump-sum investments during the current market decline, hold current positions or wait for greater clarity on market direction?Market experts believe that investors should see this 10,000 point correction as a buying opportunity rather than a reason to panic.Vishal Dhawan, Founder & CEO, Plan Ahead Wealth Advisors told ETMutualFunds that investors should view this 10,000-point Sensex correction as a long-term buying opportunity as market drawdowns are natural processes that shake out speculative premiums, resetting valuations to fundamentally healthier levels.Also Read | Multicap or flexicap mutual fund for a 20-year SIP? Expert explains what investors should choose “Long-term investors can continue their Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) and hold current positions firmly. Pausing allocations to "wait for clarity" is a psychological trap that historically locks investors out of the sharpest days of a market rebound.”Dhawan further said that while regular SIPs are key to an investment journey, panic selling must be completely avoided; use this market decline to methodically build an equity baseline designed to reward your patience when economic sentiment inevitably swings back to optimism at some point in the future and it is critical to have a minimum 5-7 year investment horizon whilst investing.Echoing a similar opinion of considering this as a buying opportunity rather than a reason to panic, Amitabh Lara, Executive Director, Anand Rathi Wealth Limited shared with ETMutualFunds that for long-term investors, this is not the time to stop investing.Amitabh further said that continuing SIPs during a fall can actually work in your favour because the same investment amount buys more units at lower prices and one of the biggest mistakes investors make is stopping SIPs during a correction and returning only after the recovery has already happened.The benchmark index which touched a peak of 84,391 on December 10, 2025, is now down by nearly 10,148 points to a level of 74,243 as of June 6, 2026.As the market becomes volatile, investors as well as the fund managers keep cash in hand and wait for the opportunity to deploy it in the market but with a dilemma whether to deploy cash immediately or stagger investments over time.Amitabh said that if investors have idle cash available then they can go ahead and invest as a lumpsum and funds can be deployed in a staggered manner through tranches, over 6 to 8 weeks. “It also removes the stress of trying to time the exact bottom. If they have SIPs, they can continue it without worrying about the market level and take advantage of rupee cost averaging.”Dhawan said that for investors sitting on cash, a staggered deployment strategy via a 6-month to 12 month Systematic Transfer Plan (STP) is highly recommended as this approach could hedge your principal against intermediate downside volatility.He further said that investors should avoid deploying an absolute lumpsum at current levels, as picking the exact market bottom is a statistical myth and tranche-based buying ensures you average out your entry costs across multiple lower price bands smoothly.“Park your liquid capital in low-duration instruments and systematically route it into equity. This automated execution effectively replaces portfolio anxiety with disciplined benefits. In case you wish to deploy a lumpsum, and not do a STP, an investment in the Balanced Advantage category is suggested.” Dhawan said.How equity categories performedETMutualFunds checked the performance of equity mutual funds since December 10, 2025. Small cap funds have delivered an average return of 6.06% since the date BSE Sensex touched the new peak, followed by mid cap funds which gave an average return of 2.58%.Also Read | Nippon India Mutual Fund limits subscription in Gold BeES and gold savings fund In contrast, the counterparts, large cap funds gave a negative average return of 6.26% since December 10, 2025. Multi cap funds gave an average return of 0.06% whereas flexi cap funds fell 2.95% on an average in the said time period.Out of 10 equity categories, only three gave positive average returns which were small caps, mid caps and multi caps whereas the other categories such as large caps, contra funds, ELSS, flexi, focused, value and large & mid caps gave negative average returns.Which market-cap segment could lead the recovery?Dhawan said that large-cap stocks are typically best positioned to lead the initial recovery wave when domestic and foreign institutional flows return and their robust cash flows, operational scale, and institutional backing provide an essential fundamental moat.He further said that mid-caps may require stock-specific elements to perform, as many names went up significantly during the previous bull cycle; small caps should be approached with high caution and patience, as they remain prone to sharp liquidity outflows during market corrections. “Limit small-cap exposure if you can handle the volatility and have a longer time horizon of 7-10 years for mid and small caps.”Lara said that small caps appear to have the most room for upside when markets recover. Currently, Nifty Smallcap 250 is trading about 17.4% below its fair value, compared with 9.6% for the Nifty Midcap 150 and around 5-9% for large-cap indices. Hence, small caps have corrected more than large caps and mid caps relative to their earnings potential.He further said that investors can have a balanced exposure across market caps, with 55% in large caps and the rest in mid and small caps to be a part of the eventual recovery that will follow in the markets.BSE Sensex: In the last six months, the index was down 13.38% and in the nine months, it was down 8.01%. In the last one year, Sensex was down 8.83% whereas in the last three years and five years it was up 5.74% and 7.33% respectively.Sector allocation becomes particularly important during market corrections as valuation gaps emerge across industries. The question is whether investors should actively target beaten-down sectors or focus on broader diversification.In response to this, Lara said investors should avoid investing in single sectors or making sectoral bets as performance in sectors/themes is highly cyclical. For example, in 2024, the pharma & IT sectors were part of the best-performing sectors, however, they both turned into worst-performing sectors in 2025, which suggest that entry and exit at the right time play a crucial role in making investments in the sectorial/thematic funds.Also Read |HDFC Mutual Fund limits subscription in its gold ETF and FoF. What this means for investors? During such corrections, it would be more beneficial for investors to invest in diversified categories of equity mutual funds to get exposure to all sectors and benefit from their performance, rather than focusing solely on any single sector, Lara further said.Dhawan said to prioritize accumulating high-quality banking and financial services funds as these segments offer good earnings visibility, corrected price multiples, and fundamentally strong underlying balance sheets.He further said systematic accumulation of Information Technology (IT) funds could be attributed to these deep valuation resets as they are cash-rich franchises with low debt. However, they do face business model risk. Conversely, stay away from Utilities and capital goods as valuations look well above their long term averages.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

HYDERABAD: Water crisis in Sindh and Balochistan continues to deepen with each passing day as the Indus River System Authority (Irsa) remains indifferent to their hue and cry constantly being raised over the last few weeks. The two smaller provinces have been expressing their strong reservations over “unfair” deduction in their share of the Indus water while Punjab continues to draw in excess of its allocated quantum. Kotri Barrage reported 57pc reduction in flows on June 7 as Sindh’s overall deficit in flows rose from 22pc to 39pc within the last fortnight while Punjab, through its controversial Chashma-Jhelum (CJ) link canal keeps withdrawing more water than Kotri. Balochistan has also come up with 71pc reduction in its share from Sukkur Barrage’s right bank canal on Saturday. Shortage in Sindh worsens to 39pc while Balochistan gets 71pc less flows The Balochistan irrigation department has taken up the issue with Irsa, pressing it to settle it with Sindh authorities in order to ensure its required share of 2,000 cusecs at GarangRegulator of North Western Canal (NWC). Balochistan is receiving just 571 cusecs, indicating 71pc lesser flows than its allocated share. Controversial move Irsa had recently announced that it was “adjusting excessive use of water by Sindh and trying to equalise shortages between Punjab and Sindh by June 10”. Sindh has strongly opposed the move but the issue has remained undecided in Irsa till date. Sindh argues that the “flows supplied to Sindh on account of rainfall in the river system should not be deducted from its provincial share under the Water Accord 1991. In an identical scenario, wrote an irrigation department official, such flows were utilised as ‘flood flows’ in Punjab and Sindh alike in 2024. These flows were accordingly adjusted by Irsa, instead of being deducted against share of each province, according to one assessment. Given the water flows recorded on June 7 (Sunday), Kotri barrage topped in water shortage figures with 57pc, followed by Sukkur’s 37pc and Guddu’s 27pc. When compared with shortage in Punjab’s canals downstream Chashma, Punjab had reported only 2.1pc shortage on June 4, otherwise the province got surplus water invariably between 4.5pc and 6.7pc from June 1 to 5 (barring June 4). Link canals The controversial link canals — Chashma-Jhelum (CJ) and Taunsa Panjnad (TP) — continued to draw water. It would be interesting to note that while Sindh’s water shortage trajectory continues to record an upward trend, CJ link canal alone was drawing flows more than the quantum being drawn at Kotri Barrage as of June 5. CJ Canal received 16,470 cusecs flows when Kotri got 11,645 cusecs against allocated share of 26,900 as per the 1991 Water Accord. When Sindh submitted an indent of 130,000 cusecs on May 26, Irsa was releasing 115,000 cusecs downstream Chashma till June 3. The 115,000 cusecs flow was inclusive of the share of Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan’s canals. “Out of 115,000 cusecs, Punjab received / diverted its share at Indus for Taunsa-Panjnad link canal, Muzaffargarh and Dera Ghazi Khan canals. Rest of the flows headed for Sindh’s barrages,” said an expert after analysing discharges in the system. Expert’s view Explaining the situation, he quoted one of Irsa’s flows-related communication to Sindh. He pointed out that this communication showed Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan would receive 24,000 cusecs, 90,000 cusecs and 11,000 cusecs, respectively, from June 1, taking total quantum to 125,000 cusecs whereas actual releases stood at 115,000 cusecs, showing a deficit of 10,000 cusecs. As per the fixed share, Punjab withdrew 11,894 cusecs for TP link canal, 7,300 cusecs for Muzaffargarh and 6,500 cusecs for Dera Ghazi Khan canal, totaling 25,694 cusecs till June 5 which was over and above the share (24,000 cusecs) fixed by Irsa, thus recording 7.1pc more withdrawal by Punjab. Irsa, however, increased releases from June 4 by providing 138,000 cusecs below Chashma Barrage whilst Sindh’s indent of 130,000 cusecs at Chashma remained unchanged. Out of the 138,000 cusecs, Punjab’s share was fixed at 26,000 cusecs, Sindh’s 100,000 cusecs and Balochistan’s 12,000 cusecs from June 7. Till June 7, 138,000 cusecs releases at Chashma stood unchanged and by that time Sindh submitted an increased indent of 145,000 cusecs, considering requirement of canals of three barrages in Kharif. “Irsa should have released 183,000 cusecs below Chashma to meet Sindh’s indent of 145,000 cusecs so that Balochistan’s share is also met. But shortage in Sindh keeps increasing with each passing day,” said a source. A lesser flow of 24.6pc is being released by Irsa considering indent of Sindh. Pond level at Sukkur Balochistan gets its share from Sukkur and Guddu Barrages. At Guddu, the share was released from Pat Feeder and NWC’s Kirthar Canal of Sukkur Barrage. For ensuring required flows to Balochistan, the Sukkur Barrage authorities needed a pond level of 199.5ft. It is currently 194.9ft — much below the required level. The authorities hold flows to certain level to ensure required releases from the barrages in the right bank canal including NWC, which itself is reporting a reduction of 51pc at its head. This means the situation is bound to affect the entire system of the canal when the flows reach the Garang Regulator. On June 6, Pat Feeder Canal SE Dera Murad Jamali sent a communication to the Irsa secretary complaining that arbitrary and continuous reduction in water supplies has seriously affected operational activities of Balochistan irrigation department and such actions were contrary to spirit of the Water Accord 1991. “The matter may be taken up on an urgent basis with competent authorities of Sindh government to discontinue unjustified reductions and ensure full and equitable supply of Balochistan’s allocated share at Garang at RD-102 of Kirther canal,” he said. Dams being filled While shortages continued, water was being stored in Mangla Dam by Irsa despite a severe shortage in the peak Kharif season in Sindh. The dam’s level stood at 1,170ft against maximum level of 1,242ft. Water was stored in Tarbela Dam, whose level stood at 1453.3ft against maximum storage level of 1,550ft. Tarbela is the principal source of water supply to Sindh. Published in Dawn, June 8th, 2026
