India equity markets closed in the red following concerns over surge in
crude oil prices after U.S. reportedly announced its decision of not
renewing or extending waivers to countries that were earlier importing
Iranian oil. Investors remained cautious ahead of the expiry of derivative
contracts on Apr 25, 2019. Also, elections and earnings results uncertainty
kept the markets under pressure.
Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 fell 0.21% and
0.16% to close at 38,564.88 and 11,575.95, respectively. S&P BSE Mid-Cap
rose 0.03% and S&P BSE Small Cap fell 0.13%.
The overall market breadth on BSE was weak with 1,437 scrips declining
and 1,097 scrips advancing. A total of 146 scrips remained unchanged.
On the BSE sectoral front, S&P BSE telecom was the major loser and fell
1.38%, followed by S&P BSE Auto that fell 1.32%. S&P BSE Utilities and
S&P BSE Power fell 1.10% and 0.64%, respectively. S&P BSE Bankex and
S&P BSE Consumer Discretionary Goods & Services fell 0.59% and 0.58%,
respectively. S&P BSE Energy stood as the major gainer and grew 1.25%,
followed by S&P BSE Consumer Durables that grew 0.96%.
According to the Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister, additional
supplies of oil will be provided to India from other major oil producing
countries to compensate for loss of Iranian oil. The move comes after the
United States decided to impose sanctions on oil exports from Iran.
As per media reports, the country’s pharmaceutical exports grew 11% to
$19.2 billion in FY19 on account of improved demand in North America
and Europe. Export of pharmaceutical products stood at $17.3 billion and
$16.7 billion in FY18 and FY17 respectively. Also reports suggest that
China’s market will gradually open up and subsequently the government is
working to increase India’s exports in the region.
According to a major domestic credit rating agency, capital requirement
for microfinance firms may come down in the next few years as many of
them have started adopting new business models which require less
capital. The rating agency is of the view that raising capital is the key
challenge for most small and medium sized entities. It also noted that
many smaller microfinance institutions (MFI) have started operating as
business correspondents partly or fully and hence they originate loans on
behalf of their partner banks which helps them to conserve capital. The
rating agency further added that consolidation may take place in the
industry where smaller microfinance institutions may get acquired by
larger non-banking financial companies. As per the projections provided
by the rating agency, Rs. 3,500 crore to Rs. 4700 crore may be required
over the next three years by MFIs or small banks to maintain a growth of
25% to 30% compared to an equity expansion of Rs. 4,350 crore by MFIs in
FY19.
Data from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation showed that the
cumulative traffic of 11 domestic airlines witnessed a growth of 0.14% as
it stood at 11.59 million in Mar 2019 compared to 11.58 million
passengers in the same month of the previous year. For the period from
Jan 2019 to Mar 2019, passengers carried by domestic airlines stood at
354.53 lakhs compared to 337.90 lakhs in the corresponding period of the
previous year thereby registering a growth of 4.92%.
