• Indian equity markets ended the last trading session of the week on a
weaker note, dragged by banking and consumer durable sectors.
Investor sentiments was dented as no significant breakthrough was
achieved following the U.S. - China trade talks. Market participants
shifted their focus towards the speech by the U.S. Federal Reserve
chairman, scheduled later during the day, which may provide fresh clues
on the direction of U.S. monetary policy.
• Both S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 fell 0.22% each to close at 38,251.80
and 11,557.10, respectively. S&P BSE Mid-Cap and S&P BSE Small-Cap
slipped 0.26% and 0.34%, respectively.
• On the BSE sectoral front, majority of the indices closed in the red. S&P
BSE Bankex was the major loser, down 0.80%, followed by S&P BSE
Consumer Durables and S&P BSE FMCG, which fell 0.79% and 0.62%,
respectively. S&P BSE IT and S&P BSE Industrials slipped 0.60% and
0.51%, respectively. Meanwhile, S&P BSE Metal was the top gainer, up

Urban Affairs Ministry, so far, approximately 55 lakh houses are being
funded under the PMAY scheme (Urban) across the country.
• The mines ministry has asked all states to begin the auction of mining
leases expiring in the next two years by Jul 2019. According to the
ministry, this would help avoid any shortage of minerals. Also, it would
ensure seamless transition of mines from existing leaseholder to the new
leaseholder to whom lease will be granted through auction.
• According to the commerce ministry, a National Logistics Portal is being
developed to ensure ease of trading in the international and domestic
markets. The development comes as India targets lowering the logistics
cost from 14% of gross domestic product to less than 10% by 2022. The
portal that is being developed will link all the stakeholders of export-
import, domestic trade and all trade activities on a single platform.
Besides, generating jobs, this is expected to increase trade
competitiveness and help the country transform into a logistics hub.

investigation report from the US health regulator after the successful

Atorvastatin Calcium tablets used for the treatment for lowering
cholesterol from the U.S. market after noticing certain anomalies in the
out of specifications investigations.
• Asian markets traded in mixed on trade war tensions as the U.S. and
China trade talk ended without any concrete outcome. Worries over a
no-deal Brexit also raised concerns over global growth. However, steady
oil prices and weaker yen brought some respite. Today (as of Aug 27),
Asian markets opened on a positive note following gains in Wall Street’s
last session and announcement of changes to the methodology for fixing
of yuan's daily midpoint. Nikkei and Hangseng grew 0.89% and 1.24%,
respectively (as at 8.a.m. IST).
• As per the last close, European markets closed on a higher note
following reports that all sectors of Germany’s economy grew in the
second quarter. Investors remained focused towards trade talks between
U.S. and China that ended without any progress.
• As per the last close, U.S markets closed on a higher note following
gains in a top media services company after it got upgraded by one of the
leading firms. Also, remarks from the U.S. Federal Reserve’s Chairman
that further gradual increases in interest rates will likely be appropriate if
strong growth in income and jobs continues, boosted the indices.
