“Voluntary attrition moderated 180 bps from the previous quarter, landing at 21.2% for the trailing twelve months for the quarter,” Wipro said in its earnings release. This was the fourth quarter where the attrition rate has moderated.
The attrition rate stood at 23% in Q2 of the financial year and 22.7% in the corresponding quarter of FY22.
The total headcount at the end of the quarter stood at 258,744 employees, down from 259,179 employees in the previous September quarter.
While announcing its quarterly results, Wipro said it expects revenue from IT Services business for the full year to be in the range of 11.5% to 12.0%, in constant currency terms.
Markets traded volatile for yet another session and ended with gains of over half a percent. After the muted start, the Nifty index gradually inched higher and settled at 17956.60 levels. The recovery in banking, IT, auto and metal majors played a crucial role in the rebound while others witnessed a mixed trend. Meanwhile, the broader indices underperformed and closed on a flat note.Markets will react to the HDFC Bank’s result in early trade on Monday. The recent recovery in the global markets has failed to impress the participants so far however the mood might change if they manage to sustain the gains. To regain some strength, Nifty should decisively cross the 18,100 mark. Meanwhile, participants should restrict positions and prefer a hedged approach.

Daily market commentary by Mr. Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services
US CPI data for the month of December fell to 6.5%, which is leading to expectation of less aggressive interest rate hikes by US Fed going ahead. On the domestic front, CPI inflation further eased to 5.72% in Dec, while IIP growth improved to 7.1% in Nov’22. IT results so far came in better than estimates, thus alleviating concerns with regards to growth slowdown on account of macro headwinds. Though the sector may see some more consolidation given macro uncertainties, we believe valuations have largely corrected and offers value buying at these levels. Banking sector will be in focus next week, reacting to the HDFC Banks numbers on Saturday. Overall the global sentiments are turning positive due to decelerating inflation pressures, which along with better than expected domestic economic data and stable IT results could give support to the markets and help to move higher.

“We will work on our plans of dollar bond issuance and would want to issue these notes in February-March,” said the official, requesting anonymity as they are not authorised to speak to the media.
While the plan for raising dollar debt is “definitely on,” details such as the quantum and tenor will be worked out in February, the official added.
REC, an infrastructure finance company, and Indian Railway Finance Corp (IRFC) had planned to issue dollar bonds in 2022 and even appointed lead managers.

Though yesterday’s brief slippage below our turnaround level of 17800 raised some panic, the pull back thereof encourages us to stay with the 18100 view, with plans of expanding to 18560, once above 18300. However, avertical rise is less expected today and we would be cautious about rejection trades reappearing in the 17960-18020 vicinity.

There are significant near-term positives for equity markets. Globally, the decline in US inflation to 6.5% and the consequent decline in US 10-year bond yields by 10% to 3.46% are supportive of equity markets. The dollar index dipping below 103 is positive for emerging market equity. Therefore, the sustained selling by FIIs in India for the 15th trading session is likely to abate, going forward. Yesterday, FII selling ( Rs 1662 crores) was eclipsed by DII buying ( Rs 2127 crores). DIIs now have fundamental support coming from reduced CPI inflation ( 5.72% in December) and rising IIP numbers (7.1% in November). RBI can now afford to soften rate hikes.The emerging interest rate scenario is favourable for banks and NBFCs. The impressive Q3 results from IT majors will keep the IT segment resilient.

Positive global cues coupled with moderating inflation levels in both India and the US, and better-than-expected earnings from tech major Infosys is pointing towards a firm opening for local markets. The US bond market too is signaling that the Federal Reserve could indeed be near the end of its rate-hiking campaign. The only negative catalyst which can haunt the market is FIIs relentless selling, as they have already sold to the tune of Rs. 14997 crores.
