• Indian equity markets closed in the red owing to global economic
growth worries. Investors were also anxious over U.S. Federal Reserve’s
(Fed) indications of further rate hikes. Cautiousness prevailed ahead of
the Lok Sabha elections in 2019 as investors feared the government
could announce populist schemes to woo voters.
• Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 declined 1.89%
and 1.18% to close at 35,742.07 and 10,754.00, respectively. S&P BSE
Mid-Cap and S&P BSE Small Cap increased 1.79% and 1.00%,
respectively.
• On the BSE sectoral front, all the sectors fell. The biggest loser was S&P
BSE Information Technology, down 2.62%, followed by S&P BSE Teck and
S&P BSE Auto, down 2.6% and 2.12%, respectively. S&P BSE Telecom and
S&P BSE Consumer Durables lost 2.05% and 2.04%, respectively. S&P BSE
Energy and S&P BSE Realty lost 1.89% and 1.84%, respectively.
• The commerce and industry minister said the new draft e-commerce
policy will focus on promoting price transparency and discounts. It will
protect interest of both retailers and consumers. The Department of
Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) is working on the new draft policy,
which will be put in public domain in the coming 2-3 weeks for
stakeholder views. The new draft is being made after some concerns
were raised on certain proposals of the first draft e-commerce policy.
• The government plans to take the Rs. 11,000 crore methanol economy
to about Rs. 2 lakh crore in five years. This is being done to promote
cleaner fuel and cut down on the crude oil import bills. The transport
minister warned against the use of substandard parts in e-rickshaws and
e-carts and added that the idea behind relaxation in rules was to benefit
the poor and check the practice of hand-held rickshaws.
• The Union minister said the Department of Heavy Industries has
proposed cutting of customs duty on parts of electric vehicles (EVs) to
the finance ministry. The finance ministry will decide on the matter now.
These parts are currently not exempt from import tariff to the
Department of Revenue. This he said at the launch of e-scooter and e-
cycle made by a start-up and certified by the Automotive Research
Association of India. Automotive Research Association of India comes
under the administrative control of the Union heavy industries ministry.
• The government has asked the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT)
to reopen the books of debt-ridden IL&FS Group and its subsidiaries for
the past five years to investigate financial mismanagement.
• Piramal Enterprises has planned to raise up to Rs. 26.50 billion through
the issuance of non-convertible debentures (NCDs) on private placement
basis.
• Aurobindo Pharma announced that it has received approval from the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) to manufacture and market
potassium chloride tablets of 600 mg and 750 mg, used for treating
hypokalemia.
• Asian equity markets were down as growing anxiety over the slowing
pace of global economic growth made investors avoid equities and go for
safe-haven assets. Chinese President’s speech on four decades of
reforms and fresh monetary support measures declared by the People's
Bank of China could not ease investor concerns over slowing economic
growth. Today (as of Dec 24), Asian markets opened lower following
weakness in Wall Street’s last session. Hangseng fell 1.05% (as at 8.a.m.
IST). Nikkei remained closed on account of public holiday.
• As per the last close, European markets closed with modest losses as
U.S. President refused to sign legislation to fund the U.S. government,
thereby raising the risk of a federal shutdown.
• As per the last close, U.S markets closed lower amid fears of an
extended government shutdown. Investors remained focused on
developments on Capitol Hill.
