Indian equity markets gained ahead of finance minister's media
address, which was scheduled later in the day. Investors expected the
minister to announce measures to revive the economy, roll back the
super‐rich tax on foreign portfolio investors, and implement direct tax
code.
Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 gained 0.63% and
0.82% to close at 36,701.16 and 10,829.35, respectively. S&P BSE Mid‐
Cap and S&P BSE Small Cap gained 0.93% and 0.55%, respectively.
The overall market breadth on BSE was strong with 1309 scrips
advancing and 1145 scrips declining. A total of 130 scrips remained
unchanged.
On the BSE sectoral front, S&P BSE Metal was the major gainer, up
3.49%, followed by S&P BSE Oil & Gas and S&P BSE Energy, which gained
3.35% and 2.74%, respectively. S&P BSE Basic Materials and S&P BSE
Auto gained 2.05% and 1.54%, respectively. S&P BSE FMCG was the major
loser, down 0.83%, followed by S&P BSE Bankex and S&P BSE Capital
Goods, down 0.31% and 0.19%, respectively.
The government announced a slew of measures of the auto sector that
is going through a major slowdown. Increase in registration fees for
vehicles was deferred till Jun 2020 and ban on purchase of new vehicles
by government departments was lifted to boost demand. The
depreciation rate of vehicles purchased before Mar 31, 2019 till Mar 31,
2020 was increased to 30% from the present 15% which is expected to
prepone purchase of vehicles. The government also clarified that Bharat
Stage ‐IV vehicles which are purchased till Mar 31, 2020, will remain
operational for their entire period of registration even when the Bharat
Stage VI emission norms comes into effect next year. On a separate note,
the government added that electric and internal combustion engine
vehicles will continue to be registered while a scrappage policy will be
announced later.
The government announced an additional liquidity support to the tune
of Rs. 20,000 crore for housing finance companies in order to improve
their lending capacity. The move is expected to help the real estate sector
which is facing a slowdown in demand and liquidity crunch.
The government proposed to set up an entity that will provide credit
enhancement for infrastructure and housing projects. The move is
expected to increase fund flows towards such projects. It also added that
the department of expenditure and the performance will monitor
delayed payments from government and/or Central Public Sector
Enterprises (CPSEs) which in turn will be reviewed by the Cabinet
Secretariat. The move is expected to help clear all due payments of CPSEs
which will help boost growth and create employment.
The government in order to improve the domestic debt market, added
that it will work jointly with the Reserve Bank of India to make it more
friendly for investors and bond issuers. Also, it decided to do away the
enhanced surcharge levied by Finance (No 2) Act, 2019 on long and short
term capital gains that arises from transfer of equity shares/units referred
in Section 111A and 112A respectively. The move is expected to boost
investment in the capital market.
Asian equity markets ended mixed as Japan‐South Korea tensions
intensified, and investors looked forward to U.S. Federal Reserve
chairman's speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium later
in the day. Markets will try to gauge the future interest rate stance of the
Fed through the speech. Today (as of Aug 26), Asian markets opened
lower following an escalation in the U.S.‐China trade war late last week.
Both Nikkei and Hang Seng were trading down 2.36% and 3.26%,
respectively (as at 8.a.m. IST).
European markets declined as China said it would impose new tariffs
on another $75 billion worth of U.S. goods. U.S. President told American
companies to “immediately start looking for an alternative to China.”
U.S. markets fell after President told U.S. manufacturers to find
alternatives to their operations in China. The President also criticised the
U.S. Federal Reserve chairman for not doing enough stimulate growth in
the economy.
