• Indian equity markets ended the week with gains on the back of a
strong rupee, weak crude oil prices and positive global cues. The
combination of a stronger rupee and weaker oil prices augur well for the
economy as it keeps inflation in check.
• Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 gained 0.75% and
0.74% to close at 36,076.72 and 10,859.90, respectively. S&P BSE Mid-
Cap and S&P BSE Small Cap increased 0.93% and 0.86%, respectively.
• The overall market breadth on BSE was strong with 1586 scrips
advancing and 1064 scrips declining. A total of 148 scrips remained
unchanged.
• On the BSE sectoral front, all the sectors except one gained. S&P BSE
Consumer Durables was the major gainer, up 2.15%, followed by S&P
BSE Healthcare and S&P BSE Basic Materials, up 1.28% and 1.15%,
respectively. S&P BSE Finance and S&P BSE Industrials gained 1.13% and
1.12%, respectively. S&P BSE Telecom was the only loser, down 0.08%.
• Government data showed that India’s fiscal deficit for Apr-Nov 2018
came in at Rs. 7.16 lakh crore, or 114.8% of the budgeted target for FY19
as against 112.0% in the year-ago period. Net tax receipts were Rs. 7.31
lakh crore or 49.4% of the budget estimate for FY19 compared with
57.0% in the corresponding period of the previous year. The
government’s total expenditure for the period from Apr to Nov of 2018
stood at Rs. 16.13 lakh crore or 66.1% of the budget estimate for FY19
compared with 68.9% in the corresponding period of the previous year.
• According to the government, Rs. 38,896 crore Goods & Services Tax
(GST) evasion has been detected in 6,585 cases in Apr-Oct 2018-19.
Central excise evasion of Rs. 3,028.58 crore in 398 cases and services tax
evasion of Rs. 26,108.43 crore in 3,922 cases was found during the
seven-month period.
• Compliance of foreign direct investment (FDI) rules will continue to be
monitored by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Enforcement
Directorate (ED) though the government has tightened FDI rules for e-
commerce companies. The agencies were seen to be lax in enforcing the
earlier rules to discipline errant e-retailers. News reports said revised FDI
rules will further squeeze scope for e-retailers to violate the extant policy
by influencing prices of products sold on their platforms via predatory
discounts. The government will finalise the draft e-commerce policy in a
few weeks. The policy will make proposals to further develop the e-
commerce sector and include ways to boost exports via e-commerce.
• India could cut import tax on palm oil, according to media news. This
will be in line with New Delhi's trade agreements with Southeast Asian
countries. India is the world's top buyer of vegetable oils and earlier in
the year raised the import tax on crude palm oil to 44% from 30% and
lifted the tax on refined palm oil to 54% from 40%.
• Asian markets largely remained positive, tracking overnight positive
cues from Wall Street, which rebounded from negative territory.
However, Japanese markets remained exception to the market gains as
the key index slumped after Bank of Japan released its summary of
opinions from its latest monetary policy meeting, where it noted the
heightening of downside risks to economic activity. Today (as of Dec 31),
Asian markets opened higher likely following reports that a long and good
call too place between the U.S. and China’s President. Hangseng grew
0.86% (as at 8.a.m. IST). Nikkei remained closed.
• As per the last close, European markets closed higher following gains in
technology, banking, and oil & gas stocks. However, concerns over global
economic growth, impact of partial government shutdown in U.S.,
uncertainty about U.S-China trade deal and Brexit, restricted the gains.
• As per the last close, U.S markets closed on a mixed note following
substantial volatility over the past several sessions. Weakness in pending
home sales for Nov 2018 weighed on investor sentiment. Trading
remained subdued ahead of New Year's Day holiday on Jan 1, 2019.
