Three IPOs to hit primary market tomorrow; aim to raise Rs 1,700-crore

The IPO lane is getting busy with three entities — Rashi Peripherals, Jana Small Finance Bank and Capital Small Finance Bank– set to float their maiden public issues on Wednesday to collectively mobilise around Rs 1,700 crore. Additionally, Entero Healthcare Solutions will launch its Rs 1,600-crore initial share-sale on February 9. Further, the Rs 920-crore IPO of Apeejay Surrendra Park, which runs hotels under the “The Park” brand, is currently under subscription.

Last month, five firms tapped the primary market and garnered around Rs 3,266 crore. Market experts maintain a strong bullish outlook on the IPO (initial public offering) market for 2024. Companies are expecting to benefit from an equity market which is flush with liquidity and has seen a sharp increase in new retail investors.

Crude oil prices extend upward momentum on expectations of tighter supply

Oil prices were on track to gain for a second straight day on Tuesday after settling up more than a dollar on expectations of tighter supply driven by Russian production cuts and attacks on Russian refineries. Brent crude rose 23 cents to $86.98 a barrel by 0118 GMT. U.S. crude futures climbed 28 cents to $82.23. Crude oil gained on supply side issues and continued Middle East tensions, according to a note from ANZ analysts.

Both contracts settled $1.32 higher in the previous trading session. Russia told its oil companies to reduce output to meet an Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) target of 9 million barrels per day (bpd). In late February, Russia had been producing about 9.5 million barrels per day.
