E2E Networks plots full stack AI shift after stock surge

Market pulse

Indian markets enter the trading week on a cautious note after five consecutive weeks of declines, weighed down by ongoing foreign fund outflows and Brent crude prices trading close to 95 dollars per barrel. Starting Monday, market participants must adapt to revised pre-open auction rules on the National Stock Exchange, which split the session into separate phases and introduce Gold and Silver ETFs to the pre-open market for the first time. The rest of the week will be guided by scheduled events, including weekly derivative expiries on the National Stock Exchange on Tuesday, BSE weekly SENSEX contract expiries on Thursday, and key US economic data, all ahead of India's own inflation data release on the following Monday.

From the investor's mind

Short-term smallcap trading in India can appear deceptively simple on paper, but the post-tax realities tell a far more punitive story for investors managing larger capital pools. As highlight by investor Prakash Pandey, selling these high-growth positions within twelve months triggers a steep 20 percent short-term capital gains tax. Once a capped 15 percent surcharge and a 4 percent cess are factored in, high earners find a massive 23.92 percent of their profits instantly wiped away. Pandey argues that this hefty taxation severely erodes trading returns, making a compelling case for the government to reduce the short-term capital gains tax rate to help sustain investment viability.
