Most sectoral indices on BSE rise


The key indices settled marginally higher extending previous day's gains after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) raised interest rates on Tuesday, 20 April 2010, by less than some economists had expected and forecast inflation will slow. Buying in mid and small-cap stocks kept the market breadth strong throughout the day.

Concern over public debt could prolong the credit crisis although Greece is a special case and should not be compared to other euro zone members, the International Monetary Fund said on Tuesday. The IMF said the health of the global financial system had improved alongside a fragile recovery in the world economy, but that investors' nerves over rising levels of public debt could undermine stability gains made so far.

Back home, investors heaved a sigh of relief after a small hike in short term interest rates and the cash reserve ratio (CRR) by the central bank at its annual policy review on Tuesday, 20 April 2010. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) raised repo rate, reverse repo rate and CRR by 25 basis points each. Analysts were expecting a 25 to 50 basis points hike in short term rates and the CRR. The RBI said it will continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions, particularly the price situation closely and take further action as warranted.

The hike in CRR is effective from 24 April 2010 while the hike in repo and reverse repo rates was with immediate effect. After the hike, the CRR will increase to 6%, the repo rate to 5.25% and the reverse repo to 3.75%. Repo is the rate at which the central bank lends to banks and reverse repo is the rate at which the central bank absorbs excess cash from the banking system. CRR is the portion of deposits banks must set aside with the RBI.

The RBI said there is need to move in a calibrated manner in the direction of normalising its policy instruments given that the economic recovery is firmly in place. The latest CRR hike will suck out excess liquidity of Rs 12500 crore from the banking system. According the central bank, non-food credit growth is expected at 20% in the year ending March 2011 (FY 2011).

The central bank said it has to do a fine balancing act and ensure that while absorbing excess liquidity, the government borrowing programme is not hampered. Notwithstanding lower budgeted government borrowings for FY 2011, fresh issuance of securities will be 36.3% higher than in the previous year, the central bank said.

The RBI said the economy is recovering rapidly from a slowdown but inflationary pressures, which were triggered by supply side factors, are now developing into a wider inflationary process. The central bank said there in uncertainty about the shape and pace of ongoing global economic recovery.

The central bank expects India's economy to expand 8% in the year ending March 2011 (FY 2011) with an upward bias, assuming a normal monsoon this year and sustenance of good performance of the industrial and services sectors on the back of rising domestic and external demand. The quick rebound of the Indian economy in the year ended March 2010 (FY 2010) despite the failure of monsoon rainfall suggests that the Indian economy has become resilient, the RBI said. Growth in FY 2011 is expected to be more broad-based than in FY 2010. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today pegged India's GDP growth at 8.25% for FY 2011.

The central bank has pegged headline inflation for end-March 2011 at 5.5%, lower than near double digits in the month of March 2010. According to RBI three major uncertainties cloud the outlook for inflation. First, the prospects of the monsoon in 2010-11 are not yet clear. Second, crude prices continue to be volatile. Third, there is evidence of demand side pressures building up.

The monsoon holds key. Good rains this year after last year's drought will boost farm output and rural incomes. But another monsoon failure will add to inflationary pressure which in turn may hamper the current strong economic rebound. The June-September monsoon season is important for India as about 60% of the country's farmlands are rain-fed and more than half of the workforce is employed in the agriculture sector.

Tokyo-based Research Institute for Global Change has predicted normal monsoon rains in India for the current year. Agriculture secretary P K Basu said in a media interview on Monday, 5 April 2010, that early signs indicate normal monsoon rains this year. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issues a monsoon forecast, usually in the second half of April after considering weather observations in different parts of the world and extrapolating statistical data.

A weakening El Nino is a positive sign for the monsoon, Ajit Tyagi, director general at the India Meteorological Department, had said on 18 March 2010.

Coming back to stocks, the focus is on the fourth quarter corporate results and outlook provided by management for the current year. The combined net profit of a total of 99 companies rose 21.8% to Rs 7296 crore on 18.4% rise in sales to Rs 46492 crore in the quarter ended March 2010 over the quarter ended March 2009.

RIL on 9 April 2010 said the company will pay $1.7 billion to form a joint venture at one of the most promising natural gas deposit regions in the US with Atlas Energy, becoming the latest foreign company to invest in shale plays that are expected to be very lucrative. The firm will pick up a 40% stake in Atlas's operations in the booming Marcellus Shale, a gas project that spans parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New York in the United States and which, according to some geologists, could hold enough natural gas to satisfy US demand for a decade.

India's second largest software exporter by sales, Infosys Technologies, fell 0.33%, reversing early gains, on a firm rupee. A firm rupee adversely affects operating profit margin of IT firms as the sector derives a lion's share of revenue from exports.

India's largest information technology services provider by sales, TCS fell 0.47%, reversing early gains. The stock had fallen 2.74% on Tuesday, 20 April 2010.

At the time of announcing the results, TCS chief executive officer and managing director N Chandrasekaran said the company's sales and execution machine is primed and the company has laid a solid platform for growth. There is a significant traction for TCS' strategy of full services which together with TCS' global engagement model positions the company well for accelerated growth, Chandrasekaran said.

Sobha Developers, Indiabulls Real Estate, Parsvnath Devlopers, Housing Development & Infrastructure, Peninsula Land and DLF, rose between 0.33% to 3.91%. A section of the market was expecting the Reserve Bank of India to raise the risk weightage on loans to commercial real estate to prevent asset bubbles.

Unitech rose 2.46% after the board of director of the company at a meeting held on 20 April 2010 approved demerger of non-core operations comprising of telecommunications, hotels, special economic zones, logistics, transmission towers and others into a separate entity called Unitech Infra.

The foreign institutional investors (FIIs), which where the net buyers from post the budget, yesterday, it were the net sellers of Rs475.70 crore. The Indian markets have been the slave of the foreign money over the years, thus one has to see the FIIs movement, which is one of the key determinant of the market movements.

Gains to spillover


"Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise."

The RBI never fails to surprise. Just when the markets feared an all-out assault on inflation comes an unexpectedly dovish policy action. However, the policy document itself points to several pressure points – like the spike in non-food inflation, volatile crude oil prices and fiscal deficit. That means there is a chance of some inter-meeting action if the need arises. Monsoon of course remains the joker in the pack along with the global factors.

The immediate concern is some tapering off in FII inflows. In addition, we have a long road ahead as far as earnings are concerned. Technically too, the key indices are facing some resistance. So, it makes sense to stay a little guarded in the near term although the medium-to long-term looks promising. Today we expect a follow-through rally at the start. Things might turn choppy and rangebound depending on the results and other newsflow. Stick to stock centric action and do proper due diligence to avoid any major heartburn.

Unitech will be in action as its board has approved a demerger.

In the F&O segment, the foreign funds were net buyers of Rs560.8mn. On Monday, FIIs were net sellers of Rs4.75bn in the cash segment, as per the SEBI web site.

Indian markets ended with modest gains, closing higher for the first time in five trading sessions after the RBI announced a moderate hike in policy rates. In the run-up to the RBI policy, there were some apprehensions of a more aggressive central action as inflation is hovering around 10%.

The RBI hiked the policy rates and the CRR by 25bps each. "FY11 GDP forecast at 8% with an upward bias and moderation in inflation target to 5.5% helped ease some tension owing to global factors. Also, given the front-loading of the government borrowing programme and abundant liquidity in the system interest rates are unlikely to spike sharply in the short term," says Amar Ambani, Vice President – Research, IIFL.
