Geopolitical challenges have brought focus back to fossil fuels: Sudip Bandopadhyay 

Sudip Bandopadhyay, Group Chairman of Inditrade Capital, believes that Coal India in his view is going to be a beneficiary of the return of focus on fossil fuel. “We all probably wrote off fossil fuels too early," he says.

"The company has improved its efficiency and that is why the production has improved. With the e-auction, realisations are improving significantly. Coal India is in for good quarters. In the medium to long term, people who were vociferously against fossil fuel are now realising that without having a backup, you cannot junk fossil fuel. Coal India should do well. For an investor looking at a slightly long term, Coal India is a good buy even at Rs 220,” he adds. 

Investors cautious ahead of US inflation data: Geojit's Vinod Nair

 Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, says the incoming US inflation data will set the tone for the next Fed policy meeting.

"The US CPI inflation is projected to remain high in July, in line with the previous month. This along with strong jobs data will compel the Fed to keep taking a tough approach to rein in high inflation levels," he says.
