Equirus Bullish on CDSL Amid Strong Share Gains

Equirus has highlighted a very positive near-term outlook for Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL), citing strong market-share gains, elevated IPO activity and robust client additions. Industry-wide demat account additions are at their highest level since January 2026. CDSL’s share of incremental demat accounts rose to 83.85% from 81.01% month-on-month. More than 40 IPOs have been completed in Q2FY27, with income from mainboard IPOs increasing 36% year-on-year. Equirus notes that IPO activity is at an all-time high, with potential further tailwinds from large listings such as NSE and Jio. Client additions remain very strong, supporting expectations of strong Q2FY27 earnings. The combination of dominant share gains, high demat account growth and sustained IPO momentum underpins a constructive earnings trajectory for CDSL. **Top stocks in the capital markets / financial infrastructure industry:**

“Why Candle Closes Matter More Than Intraday Spikes”

A price level can be crossed temporarily without producing a meaningful change in market structure. This is why traders often pay attention to where a candle closes rather than reacting immediately to every intraday movement. A temporary move above resistance may attract attention, but if price closes back below the level, the breakout may not have achieved acceptance. Similarly, a temporary move below support followed by a strong close back above the zone can provide different information about market behavior. The candle close should still be considered within the broader context of trend, structure, volume and the importance of the price level. No single candle can guarantee what happens next, but the closing position can help distinguish temporary price movement from sustained acceptance or rejection. Learning: Do not make a major conclusion from an intraday spike alone. Observe where price ultimately closes and how the following candles behave.

Tokenisation can make securities settlement faster

Investors should distinguish infrastructure innovation from immediate investment opportunity. Imagine a bond transaction where money and securities move on connected digital rails instead of passing through multiple reconciliation layers. That is the idea behind **SEBI’s proposed “Demat 2.0”**. According to reports, **REC Ltd** is expected to pilot India’s first tokenised bond using distributed-ledger technology, while settlement may use the RBI’s digital rupee (CBDC). The pilot is expected to test faster settlement, transparency and potentially automated bond servicing. ### 🔎 Nifty 500 names to study — NOT stock recommendations • **

GIFT Nifty Signals Gap-Up! FIIs Start Buying Derivatives BUT

Despite High Crude & Bond Yields Indian markets are heading towards a Gap-Up opening, with GIFT Nifty indicating a positive start. What makes today's setup interesting is that FIIs have started showing buying interest in derivatives, even while crude oil and bond yields remain elevated and Nifty is still below the crucial 24,000 level. This could be an important signal that institutional sentiment may be gradually improving. ##Global Cues US Markets Rebound US markets closed higher in the previous session, providing a supportive global backdrop. The improvement in global equities could help Indian markets start on a positive note. $$IIs Start Buying in Derivatives FII / DII Activity — 3 September 2026 Cash Market • FII: -₹2,345.87 Cr • DII: +₹4,977.46 Cr FII Derivatives • Index Futures: -₹926.15 Cr • Index Options: +₹7,186.18 Cr • Stock Futures: +₹1,120.89 Cr • Stock Options: +₹220.92 Cr ------>Nifty 24,000: The Real Test Nifty is still trading below the psychological 24,000 level. But if today's Gap-Up is followed by sustained buying and Nifty crosses 24,000 and holds above it, something interesting could happen: Bears may get trapped. Traders who built short positions expecting another breakdown could be forced to cover. That short covering, combined with fresh buying, could accelerate the recovery. Key Levels Resistance: 24,000 Above 24,000: Bullish momentum can strengthen Below 24,000: Recovery remains vulnerable to rejection @@Crude Oil: Keep a Close Eye Crude remains at elevated levels and continues to trade around an important resistance zone. @@EBI CAS Update: Capital Market Stocks in Focus SEBI is reviewing the settlement-price methodology for derivatives after the introduction of the Closing Auction Session (CAS).

IPO UPDATE- India's Biggest Ever! ₹30,000+ Crore IPO.....!

ndia's biggest stock exchange is finally moving closer to the public markets. The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is expected to launch its much-awaited IPO in September, with 21 September 2026 being reported as the expected opening date. If the proposed numbers are finalised, this could become India's largest IPO ever, surpassing Hyundai Motor India's ₹27,870 crore issue. ##NSE IPO: Key Numbers • Expected Opening: 21 September 2026* • Expected Issue Size: ₹30,000+ crore • Expected Price: ₹2,100–₹2,300 per share • Expected Valuation: ₹5.2–₹5.3 lakh crore • Stake Offered: Around 6% *Expected timeline — final dates and price band are subject to regulatory approval and NSE's official announcement. ----->What Makes NSE Attractive? The bigger structural story is India's growing participation in financial markets: • Rising retail participation • Growing F&O activity • Increasing demat accounts • Strong mutual fund and SIP participation • Expansion of India's equity-investing culture As financialisation of savings continues, exchanges and market infrastructure businesses could remain important beneficiaries. One Important Point Unlike a conventional IPO where the company raises fresh capital, the proposed NSE issue is structured as an Offer for Sale (OFS). That means the money raised would go to existing shareholders selling their stake rather than directly to NSE. $$VALUATION At a potential valuation of ₹5.2–₹5.3 lakh crore, NSE could immediately become one of India's most valuable listed companies. -------->Bottom Line NSE is not just bringing another IPO to Dalal Street — it could be bringing one of India's biggest market-making businesses to the public markets. With a potential ₹30,000+ crore issue, a valuation above ₹5 lakh crore and massive investor interest, the NSE IPO could become one of the biggest financial-market events of 2026. FOCUS STOCKS:
