Sensex, Hang Seng secure losses while Nikkei, Shanghai make additions
Stock market in Asian region witnessed another session of losses on Wednesday, 17 June 2009, as investors continued heavy selling amid renewed concerns over the state of global economy.
The much-hyped Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC) summit failed to deliver little surprise to the markets. The statement called for a stable, predictable and more diversified currency system, and emerging economies to have greater voice and representation in international financial institutions. However, there is no mentioning of the possibility of lessening of dollar's influence, nor anything about investing BRIC’s reserve in each other's bond.
In addition, the regional markets tried to echoed the sentiments on Wall Street which tumbled down after the fall in U.S. industrial output on the back of a sharp drop in capacity utilization.
On Wall Street, the major indices extended their losses by more than 1% Tuesday, as better than expected housing and inflation data were offset by unimpressive gauges on output and more of the same economic concerns. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished 107.46 points lower, or 1.3%, at 8504.67, while the S&P 500 was off by 11.75 points, or 1.3%, at 911.97. The Nasdaq fell 20.20 points, or 1.1%, to 1796.18.

But the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) declined a point to 15 in June as homebuilders faced the recent upturn in interest rates and the lack of credit for housing production loans, according to a report earlier in the week.
Meanwhile, the producer price index, which measures prices of goods at the wholesale level, ticked up 0.2% in May. Excluding food and energy, it fell 0.1%. Other data, however, did little to excite investors. Capacity utilization fell from 69% to 68.3% in May, and industrial production fell 1.1% after a 0.7% decreases the month prior.
In the commodity market, crude oil traded little changed before a report forecast to show that crude supplies contracted for a second week in the U.S., the world’s largest energy consumer.
Crude oil for July delivery traded for $70.60 a barrel, 13 cents higher, on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 9:16 a.m. London time, after climbing as high as $71.28. The contract rose to a seven-month high of $73.23 on 11 June 2009.
Brent crude for August settlement was at $70.44 a barrel, 20 cents higher, on London’s ICE Futures Europe exchange at 9:13 a.m. London time.

In the currency market, US dollar bounded in tight range against major currencies in general. Japanese yen weakens mildly after following rebound in Asia stocks but the depth of the retreat is so far shallow. The developments suggest that some more sideway trading will likely be seen in near term.

NHPC IPO likely by September
The company awaits government nod for the issue
State-run NHPC is ready with its initial public offer (IPO) plan and is awaiting government approval, its chairman, S K Garg said Monday, 15 June 2009.
NHPC has already secured regulatory approval - valid until September this year - from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) for the proposed IPO.
The government is soon likely to appoint an independent director to the board of NHPC, paving the way for the country's largest hydroelectric generator to come out with an IPO by September 2009.
Sebi's rules require independent directors to make up half the company's board before it can sell shares via IPO. The state-owned company has six and needs one more independent director.
NHPC, formerly National Hydroelectric Power Corporation, said in November 2008, it had postponed a planned share sale after global equity markets crashed.
NHPC plans to spend Rs 28,000 crore to more than double generating capacity by 2012. Of this, Rs 11,000 crore would have come from its own cash and the IPO and Rs 17,000 crore from borrowings.
The company will offer 168 crore shares, consisting of 112 crore new shares and 55.91 crore shares owned by the Indian government, according to the offer document submitted to the Sebi. The proceeds will be used to partly pay for the construction of seven hydropower plants.
The stake of the government, which fully owns NHPC, will decline to 86.4% after the issue.
