FIIs step up buying


Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have been net buyers in the Indian stock market since the central bank indicated a coming pause in its monetary tightening policy and European Union (EU) leaders agreed to a bailout plan to contain the region’s debt crisis.

In just five sessions since the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) monetary policy announcement on October 25, FIIs have net-purchased Indian shares worth Rs 3,147 crore ($644 million), showed data on the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) website. For the week ended November 2, India-focused equity funds registered their biggest retail investor inflow since mid-December 2010, according to EPFR Global, which tracks fund flows into world markets.

BHEL, Thermax rise as Govt mulls 14% import duty on power gear


Shares of Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd. (BHEL), Thermax and BGR Energy rallied amid media reports that the Government was contemplating imposing 14% import duty on power equipment to curb the influx of cheaper products, primarily from China. The Union Heavy Industries Ministry has sought the Government’s approval for a proposal to impose a 14% import duty on power equipment, Minister Praful Patel said in New Delhi today. Officials from companies, including BHEL, Larsen & Toubro Ltd. met Patel in New Delhi today. There seemed to be a consensus for ensuring a level-playing field for the domestic power equipment manufacturers like BHEL and L&T vis-a-vis Chinese imports. In 2010, a panel headed by Planning Commission member Arun Maira recommended 14% import duties to bridge the disadvantage faced by local manufacturers against overseas rivals, especially from China. "We are asking for a level playing field, we are not asking for any special protection," BHEL Chairman B. Prasad Rao told reporters in New Delhi after today’s meeting. "There is agreement that the old argument about indigenous manufacturing not having enough capacity to carry India is no longer valid," Rao added. "We are not asking for protection, only level-playing field... there seems to be a consensus on this," L&T Chairman A.M. Naik told reporters after the meeting. Besides the industry players, senior officials of the Ministries of Heavy Industries, Power and Commerce attended the meeting. Currently, the projects with less than 1,000 MW generation capacity attract 5% import duty while the rest enjoy duty free import of equipment.

India's fiscal deficit soars to 70% of FY12 estimate


India's budget deficit for the first six months of the current fiscal has crossed 70% of the full year target, adding to fears that the Government won't be able to contain it within the projected levels. Fiscal deficit for the April-September 2011 period was almost double of the year-ago period, according to the data released by the Controller General of Accounts (CGA). The budget shortfall for the first six months of FY12 stood at Rs. 2.92 lakh crore versus Rs. 1.33 lakh crore in the same period of the last financial year. However, the pace of increase in the fiscal deficit slowed in September compared to August. The fiscal deficit surged from 39.4% of FY12 target in June, to 55.4% in July, and further to 66.3% in August. The Government has set a target of 4.6% of GDP, but most economists see it above 5.5% of GDP. Plan expenditure was only 40.3% of the budget estimates at the end of the first six months, as against 45.5% in the year-ago period. Gross tax revenues for April-September 2011 were up 10.2% from the same period last year. On a net basis, after setting aside the share of states, it is up only 4.1% because of heavy refunds. Non-tax revenue for the first half of FY12 is just a third of what was achieved last year. Non-tax revenue collection stood at Rs. 507.97bn this year versus Rs. 1.69 lakh crore in the year-ago period when the Centre benefited from the bumper sale of spectrum for 3G services and wireless broadband. At Rs. 2.43 lakh crore, total tax revenue collection in the April to September period of 2011 was slightly higher than last year compared to Rs. 2.33 lakh crore in the first half of last year. However, in terms of budget targets for FY12, it was just 36.6% as against 43.7% in the first six months of FY11. Plan and non-plan expenditure were higher than last year in absolute terms.

Food inflation spikes to 9-month high


Food inflation in India accelerated further in the penultimate week of October, driven by soaring vegetable prices even as onion prices tumbled. Inflation in the fuel group declined. Data released by the government on Thursday showed that food inflation rose to 12.21% year on year for the week ended October 22, compared with 11.43% in the preceding week. Food inflation stood at 13.55% in the corresponding week last year. Inflation in the Primary Articles group increased to 12.08% in the week under review, from 11.75% in the week ended October 15, according to the Commerce Ministry statement. It was at 17.09% in the year-ago period. Inflation in the Fuel & Power group fell to 14.50% in the week ended October 22 from 14.70% in the previous week, the Government data showed. It was at 10.67% in the comparable week of the previous year. Inflation in the Non-Food Articles space declined to 6.43% in the week under review from 7.67% in the previous week, the Government data showed. It was at 25.09% in the same period a year earlier. Inflation in the Minerals group was at 21.59% in the week ended October 22, unchanged from the week ended October 15, according to the Commerce Ministry data. Inflation in this group stood at 29.09% in the year-ago period.

World markets shaken by fresh Greek tremors


Global markets once again went through a tumultuous week after Greek's embattled prime minister George Papandreou stunned everyone by proposing a public vote on the EU bailout for the debt-stricken nation. He also called for a confidence vote in parliament, sending the highly indebted eurozone country into a political turmoil. The shocking development sparked off worries over the fate of Greece in the 17-member exclusive club called the eurozone. In fact, France and Germany were so upset they suspended the next tranche of emergency aid for Greece pending the referendum.

Sun TV - all is not well


A day after Kalanithi Maran's Sun TV met analyst expectations on Q2 topline and bottomline, analysts on Friday for the first time spotted signs of pressure on the media house's revenues due to recent policy issues, including the nationalisation of cable distribution business in TN.

Accordingly, Sun TV's subscription revenues from analog (contribution from cable distributors) fell 16% to Rs 47 crore in Q2 compared to Q1. Its revenues from direct-to-home (contribution from DTH operators for content) was down 6% quarter-on-quarter to Rs 79 crore. Both these revenue streams had grown over the year-ago period.

Nifty November 2011 futures above 5300


Turnover declines

Nifty November 2011 futures were at 5317, at a premium of 32.80 points over spot closing of 5284.20. Turnover on NSE's futures & options segment declined to Rs 93428.60 crore from Rs 103947.60 crore on Thursday, 3 November 2011.

State Bank of India (SBI) November 2011 futures were at 1973.45, at a premium over spot closing of 1965.50.

Stock-specific activity may dominate trade amid Q2 results


Stock-specific activity may dominate trade in the near-term with the earnings season as its peak. Investors will closely watch the management commentary at the time of announcement of Q2 September 2011 results, which will provide cues on futures earnings outlook.

The week ahead is a truncated one as the stock market remains closed on Monday, 7 November 2011 on account of Bakri-Id and again on Thursday, 10 November 2011 on account of Gurunanak Jayanti.

Market corrects amid global volatility


The market corrected last week as the initial euphoria surrounding recent plan to contain the euro-zone debt crisis faded after Greek prime minister called a referendum on the bailout deal, risking a new euro-zone crisis. In Asia, data showed China's factory activity slowed to a near three-year low.

Situation, however, eased on Friday, 4 November 2011, after Greece shelved plans for a financial-bailout referendum. While a surprise interest-rate cut from the European Central Bank (ECB) also consoled investors.

Metal, cement stocks advance


Key benchmark indices edged higher amid intraday volatility after Pakistan on Friday, 4 November 2011, denied that it had backtracked on giving India Most Favoured Nation (MFN) trade status. Earlier, the market had slipped into the red for a brief period in afternoon trade soon after a news agency quoted an unnamed senior Indian government source as saying that Pakistan had backtracked since announcing earlier this week that it had granted India the status of Most Favoured Nation (MFN) in trade The BSE Sensex jumped 80.68 points or 0.46%, off about 140 points from the day's high and up close to 90 points from the day's low. The market breadth was positive. Index heavyweight Reliance Industries (RIL) edged lower in volatile trade. ONGC fell ahead of Q2 results.

Sensex ends static for 2nd straight session


Indian equity benchmarks closed virtually flat for the second day running, as investors chose to remain on the sidelines amid continued anxiety over the eurozone sovereign debt situation.

Corporate earnings continued to be mixed with TVS Motor managing to deliver decent quarterly numbers. SAIL and Welcorp reported rather disappointing results.

Confidence on the Street!


Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong. ~Peter T. Mcintyre.

The market will hope nothing goes wrong soon. For now, world markets are breathing little easy now that Greek’s PM has shelved the controversial plebiscite on the EU bailout. However, George Papandreou may still be in trouble as he braces for Friday’s confidence vote in parliament.

Indian indices will rise at start following a relief rally across global equities. But, the undertone may remain edgy over the ongoing political instability in Greece. Reports also suggest that Italian premier is under pressure to resign.

Markets may rise at start on good global cues


Signs that the referendum may be abandoned and a rate cut from the European Central Bank raised hopes for an easing of the region's debt crisis. Today’s start is likely to be on a positive note on strong global cues.

Bullions sparkle


Mixed economic data, lower dollar and uncertainties regarding Greece impart the shine

Precious metals ended substantially higher on Thursday, 03 November 2011 at Comex. The uncertainty about what would happen in Greece caused precious metals to rally today. Mixed economic data at Wall Street and surprise interest rate cut by ECB also affected prices.

Gold for December delivery ended higher by $35.5 or 2.1%, to end at $1,765.1 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange on Thursday. That was gold's highest settlement in more than two months. Last week, gold gained 6.8%. For the month of October, gold gained 6.3%. It registered a rise of 8% for the third quarter ending September.

Crude settles at three month high


Prices rise following positive economic data and weak dollar

Crude prices ended substantially higher on Thursday, 03 November at Nymex. Prices settled at highest level in three months after making a slow start earlier during the day. Traders focused on the positive economic data. The low dollar also helped prices climb up. Uncertainties in the euro zone put a curb on the price rise during the day.

Light and sweet crude for November delivery rose $1.56 (1.7%) to $94.07 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange on Thursday. It was crude's highest settlement since early August. Last week, crude gained 6.7%. For the month of October, oil futures gained 18%. During the third quarter ending in September, crude incurred losses of 17%. It was the worst quarterly performance for crude in almost two years.

Sensex settles for flat finish...RIL up, Bharti down


After falling for two consecutive trading sessions, the Indian stock indices took a breather on Wednesday, as investors awaited the outcome of the latest FOMC meeting later in the day amid continued trepidation over the proposed Greek referendum on the EU bailout package. Market players also turned cautious before this week's G-2o summit in France and the US jobs data.

Indian markets started off on a negative note in the wake of overnight losses in the US markets and weak trend in Asian markets. Traders and investors continued to be jittery in early trades about the fallout of the proposed Greek referendum on the EU bailout deal and the world economy in general.

Global woes persist


Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy. - Leo F. Buscaglia.

Although world markets have recovered from the early week shake-up there is no end in sight to the plethora of problems confronting the world and the Indian economy. The Nifty has held on to important support of 5200. There is no immediate threat to the intermediate up-trend as long as Nifty sustains above 100 DMA of 5232 on a closing basis.

Markets expect a negative start on weak Asian cues


Worries over Greece have disrupted the sentiments and may lead the Indian markets lower at start. Investors will continue to book profit on Greece jitters.
