• The government has increased its estimate of food grain production for
the current crop year, which ends in Jun 2018. Normal rains in the last
monsoon had increased production of wheat, coarse, rice, pulses and
cereals. The fourth advance estimates of major crops by the agriculture
ministry have raised the May forecast by 1.9% and estimated output at a
record 284.83 million tonne. The previous record was in 2016-17 at
275.11 million tonne. The fifth and final estimate will be released in Dec-
Jan.
• The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) does not
want foreign direct investment (FDI) in inventory-based ecommerce.
DIPP said there is need for a regulator to supervise the sector. The
department of commerce had planned up to 49% FDI in inventory-based
ecommerce for goods made 100% locally.
• The Union cabinet has approved an extra 2% hike in Dearness
Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR). This move will benefit around
1.1 crore central government employees and pensioners. It would pinch
the exchequer by Rs. 6,112.20 crore per annum for DA and Rs. 4,074.80
crore for DR in 2018-19. The hike will come into effect from Jul 1, 2018.
• According to media reports, the Reserve Bank of India could be
decreasing the circulation of Rs. 2000 currency notes. The step would be
in the direction of limiting hoarding of the high-value note and
proliferation of black money. The proportion of Rs. 2,000 currency notes
in circulation has dropped to 37% of total notes, from 50% previously.
• According to a poll by a leading news agency, India could have grown
7.6% in the Apr-Jun quarter. The reasons behind growth have been given
as improvement in manufacturing and exports. In a poll of 50
economists, the median consensus put annual economic growth a little
lower than the near two-year high of 7.7% in the Jan-Mar
quarter. Forecasts ranged between 7.0% and 8.0%. The results point at
strong domestic demand on the back of manufacturing activity.
Manufacturing activity was solid in spite of increased oil prices and a
weak rupee.
Markets for You
• Majority of the Asian markets closed higher, driven by optimism over
the highly anticipated meeting between U.S. and Canada regarding the
future of the three-nation North American Free Trade Agreement.
Investors also awaited the China's official factory PMI for Aug, scheduled
on Aug 31. Today (as of Aug 30), Asian markets opened on a mixed note.
Gains in Wall Street’s last session and Canada’s rejoining of negotiations
for NAFTA boosted the indices. Investors likely remained focused on few
key economic data scheduled later in the day. Nikkei grew 0.27% and
Hangseng fell 0.27% (as at 8.a.m. IST).
• As per the last close, European markets closed on a mixed note as
investors remained focused towards renewed trade talks between the
U.S., Canada, and Mexico and the ongoing Brexit negotiations between
the U.K. and the European Union.
• As per the last close, U.S markets closed higher following gains in
technology (tech) stocks after a multinational investment bank raised its
target price for two major U.S. tech stocks. Also, optimism over renewed
trade talks between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico boosted the indices.
• Indian equity markets witnessed substantial sell off in the last hour of
the trading session to close in the red. Rise in global crude oil prices due
to withholding of supply by Iran coupled with depreciating rupee, which
hit record low of Rs. 70.59 per U.S. dollar, contributed to the market
woes.
• Investor sentiments were hardly impacted by the Union Cabinet’s
approval of an additional instalment of dearness allowance for central
government employees and dearness relief to pensioners effective from
Jul 1, 2018. Market participants remained cautious ahead of the expiry of
August series of F&O, scheduled on Aug 30.
• Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 fell 0.45% and
0.40% to close at 38722.93 and 11691.90, respectively. Meanwhile, up-
move was seen in broader markets with S&P BSE Mid-Cap and S&P BSE
Small Cap rising by 0.47% and 0.05%, respectively.
• On the BSE sectoral front, majority of the indices closed in the red. S&P
BSE Energy was the major loser, down 1.13%, followed by S&P BSE
Telecom and S&P BSE Teck, which fell 0.71% and 0.50%, respectively. S&P
BSE IT and S&P BSE Healthcare slipped 0.41% and 0.38%, respectively.

• Bond yields rose for the fourth consecutive session after the rupee
weakened to a record low against the greenback. Market sentiments
were also dampened as global crude oil prices continued to remain at
elevated levels. Both the aspects have fueled concerns of foreign fund
outflow from the domestic debt market and worries of domestic
inflationary pressures rising in the coming months which might lead to
further monetary tightening by the Monetary Policy Committee.
• Yield on the 10-year benchmark paper (7.17% GS 2028) rose 2 bps to
close at 7.92% from the previous closing of 7.90% after trading in a
range of 7.89% to 7.92%.
• Banks’ borrowings under the repo window of the Liquidity Adjustment
Facility (LAF) stood at Rs. 3,666 crore (gross) on Aug 29 compared to a

confidence index in U.S. surged up to 133.4 in Aug 2018 from an
upwardly revised 127.9 in Jul 2018 (127.4 originally reported). The
expectations index also rose to 107.6 in Aug 2018 after falling to 102.4 in
the previous month.
• According to the European Central Bank Executive Board Member and
Chief Economist Peter Praet, the monetary policy was effective in

monitored.
