• The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its board meeting under the newly‐
appointed governor has decided to further examine the governance
framework of the central bank. The board meeting that lasted for almost
four hours reviewed the current economic situation globally and
domestically, matters relating to liquidity and credit delivery, and issues
related to currency management and financial literacy. The 18‐member
board also went through the draft report on the Trends and Progress of
Banking (2017‐18).
• Former chief economic advisor has said the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
is adequately capitalised, but the money should be used for fixing the
financial system and not for financial deficit or financing government
expenditure. He said under economic principles savings should not be
used for current consumption, but for long‐term investment. He added
that the central bank could be massively capitalised, which does not
mean the money can be used for financial deficit or financing government
expenditure.

• Asian equity markets were mostly down after China reported
disappointing economic numbers. Chinese industrial output and retail
sales were subdued, growing at the slowest pace in three years and 15
years, respectively, because of the trade dispute with U.S. This has made
investors anxious of global economic growth. Also, investors are swaying
between optimism and scepticism over the chances of U.S. and China
striking a trade deal. Today (as of Dec 17), Asian markets mostly opened
on a mixed note following decline on the Wall Street overnight. Both
Nikkei a nd Hang Seng rose 0.54% and 0.03%, respectively (as at 8 a.m.
IST).
• As per the last close, European markets fell on downbeat economic
data from China and Eurozone. Downbeat Chinese industrial output and
retail sales data, industrial production in Germany and manufacturing
activity in the Eurozone, France and Germany contributed to losses.
•Asperthelastclose,U.Smarketsdeclinedonrenewedconcernsabout
the outlook for global economic growth following disappointing industrial
output and retail sales growth in China.
• Indian equity markets saw a volatile session and managed to gain a bit
although global cues came in weak. China’s weak economic data and
investors’ lack of confidence in chances of U.S.‐China striking a trade deal
any time soon burdened sentiment. Also, investors awaited the outcome
of Reserve Bank of India’s board meeting under the newly‐appointed
governor, scheduled post market hours. Wholesale inflation easing in Nov
2018 s upported the markets.
• Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 gained 0.09% and
0.13% to close a t 35,962.93 and 10,805.45, respectively.
• The market br eadth on B SE was weak with 1313 scrips declining and
1248 scrips advancing. A t otal of 144 scrips remained unchanged.

3.08%, followed by S&P BSE Oil & Gas and S&P BSE Utilities, up 1.74% and

and 0.93%, respectively. S&P BSE Healthcare and S&P BSE Capital Goods
