What does it take to trigger a crash in the stock market? A once-in-a-century pandemic? The biggest war in Europe in 70 years? The US Federal Reserve instantaneously cutting off the supply of the opium of record liquidity and low interest rates? Multi-year high inflation? How about black magic? The Oxford Dictionary defines black magic as a type of magic that is believed to use the power of the devil in order to do evil. In a world where boring financial data, profit and loss statements, and complex macroeconomic events sway the everyday movement of stock prices and stock indices, one Rajkot-based stockbroker claimed last week that he spent more than Rs 8 crore to engineer a multi-day crash in the stock market with the help of esoteric black magic.

- A + A (May 18): Melvin Capital, once one of Wall Street's most successful hedge funds which then lost billions in the meme stock saga, will shut down after it was hit again by this year's market slump. Gabe Plotkin, widely regarded as one of the industry's best traders after posting years of double digit returns, told investors that the last 17 months have been "an incredibly trying time." Plotkin had been trying to turn around the firm after being caught out in early 2021 betting against retail favorite GameStop and after being wrong footed again by tumbling markets this year. "The appropriate next step is to wind down the Funds by fully liquidating the Funds' assets and accounts and returning cash to all investors," Plotkin wrote in a letter reviewed by Reuters on Wednesday. Melvin Capital had $7.8 billion in assets at the end of April. The fund lost 23% in the first four months of 2022, a person familiar with the fund's finances said. This year's losses … [Read more...] about Melvin Capital to shut after heavy losses on meme stocks, market slump

Divam Sharma is the Founder of Green Portfolio Divam Sharma, founder at Green Portfolio believes the Indian market will go through a consolidation phase before moving a leg higher.

Edited excerpts: Given the signs of progress in Ukraine-Russia peace talks and hope that the war could end soon, do you think sanctions imposed on Russia could get lifted?

Soumyo Sarkar, Chief Executive Officer and Portfolio Manager of Sumit Capital LLC feels that further downside risks exist for the Indian market unless there is a significant easing of commodity-led inflation or a favourable resolution of the Ukraine crisis. The US Fed's so-called dot plot (projection for Fed funds rate) is indicating around seven rate raises of a quarter-point each this year, followed by a few more rate hikes in 2023. "We expect the US Fed to start hiking rates from mid-March. However, the drop in the yields reflects the belief of market participants that Ukraine tensions may cool down the global economy and reduce inflationary pressures over time," says the New York based registered investment advisor. Prior to setting up Sumit Capital, Sarkar worked with Deutsche Bank during 1995-2009 period and Credit Suisse during 1991-1995. Even after more than 10 percent correction from record highs, is the Indian market highly valued considering the corporate … [Read more...] about Daily Voice | Further downside risks exist for Indian market till easing of commodity-led inflation: Soumyo Sarkar of Sumit Capital
