India equity markets closed in the green as worries over further hike in
crude oil prices lowered. Market sentiment got a boost following a report
from the International Energy Agency which stated that the supply in the
oil market is adequate and global spare production capacity remained at
comfortable levels. Further, expectations of strong earnings in the quarter
ended Mar 2019 boosted market sentiment.
Gains were extended following a report from the latest South Asian
Climate Outlook Forum, wherein it stated that it expects a normal
monsoon in most parts of India except in the west coast peninsular. Also,
investors settled position ahead of expiry of April futures and options
contracts. Investors remained focused over mixed global cues.
Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 grew 1.27% and
1.30% to close at 39,054.68 and 11,726.15, respectively. S&P BSE Mid-Cap
and S&P BSE Small Cap grew 0.43% and 0.42%, respectively.
The overall market breadth on BSE was strong with 1,253 scrips
advancing and 1,250 scrips declining. A total of 151 scrips remained
unchanged.
The Reserve Bank of India announced buying government securities
worth Rs. 25,000 crore in May 2019 through two auctions of Rs. 12,500
crore each. The first auction will be conducted on May 02, 2019 and the
date of the next auction would be communicated later.
According to a major credit rating agency, the Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) is the first central bank in the Asia-Pacific region to begin an explicit
interest rate easing cycle buoyed by benign food inflation and easier
global financial condition. The agency further mentioned that from Jan-
Apr 2019, the RBI has reduced repo rate twice by 0.25% each to one-year
low of 6%. Since the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) was formed in late
2016, this was the first consecutive rate cuts.
Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has reduced the minimum
subscription requirement and defined trading lots for Real Estate
Investment Trusts (REITs) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs).
Currently, the minimum subscription from any investor in an initial offer
and follow-on public offer is not less than Rs. 2 lakh for REITs and Rs. 10
lakh in case of InvIT. However, SEBI has now reduced the minimum
subscription from any investor in an initial offer and follow-on public offer
to Rs. 50,000 for REITs and Rs. 1 lakh for InvIT.
Data from the Engineering Export Promotion Council showed that value
of export of copper from India fell 69.40% in FY19 to $1.07 billion from
$3.48 billion in FY18. The decline came due to shut down of copper
smelter of a major mining company.
According to media reports, the ministry of corporate affairs is planning
to collect primary data” from persons who have parked money in chit
funds and deposit-taking schemes. The objective of the move is to put a
check on illegal fundraising activities.
Asian markets witnessed a mixed trend with investors taking cues from
corporate results in U.S. and monitoring the developments of U.S.- China
trade talks. Meanwhile, profit booking neutralised much of the positive
impact. Today (as of Apr 25), Asian markets opened on a mixed note.
Investors awaited Bank of Japan’s monetary policy statement scheduled
later in the day. Nikkei grew 0.13% while Hangseng fell 0.39% (as at 8.a.m.
IST).
As per the last close, European markets closed on a lower note on
disappointing earnings reports. Germany’s weak business confidence data
for Apr 2019 dampened market sentiment. Fall in oil, mining and auto
stocks weighed on the indices. However, gains in technology stocks
restricted the losses.
As per the last close, U.S markets closed almost lower as investors
remained cautious amid uncertainty about the near-term outlook for the
markets. A mixed bag of earnings results from some U.S. majors also led to
choppy trading. Further, investors preferred to remain on the sidelines
ahead of some key economic data in the coming days.
