• Indian equity markets gained on upbeat sentiment after the U.S.
Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged and exhibited a dovish
stance. Investors’ expectations from the soon-to-be-announced budget
have also gone up, which aided the rally in the market. F&O expiry too
had role to play.
• Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 gained 1.87% and
1.68% to close at 36,256.69 and 10,830.95, respectively. S&P BSE Mid-
Cap and S&P BSE Small Cap increased 0.42% and 0.80%, respectively.
• The overall market breadth on BSE was strong with 1,423 scrips
advancing and 1,144 scrips declining. A total of 136 scrips remained
unchanged.
• On the BSE sectoral front, all the sectors gained. S&P BSE Information
Technology was the major gainer, up 2.13%, followed by S&P BSE Energy
and S&P BSE Teck, up 2.1% and 1.87%, respectively. S&P BSE Oil & Gas
and S&P BSE Bankex gained 1.73% and 1.7%, respectively. S&P BSE
Consumer Durables and S&P BSE Basic Materials gained 1.46% and
1.45%, respectively.
• According to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, India’s core
output (eight sectors) grew 2.6% in Dec 2018, slower than 3.5% in Nov
2018. Slower growth was on account of negative growth in crude oil,
refinery products and fertilisers. On the other hand, coal, natural gas and
steel output increased 0.9%, 4.2% and 13.2%, respectively. Cumulative
growth during Apr-Dec of 2018 stood at 4.8%, better than 3.9% in the
corresponding period of the previous financial year.
• According to the data released by Central Statistics Office (CSO),
government has revised India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (at
constant prices) growth to 7.2% for 2017-18, better than 6.7% estimated
earlier. For 2017-18, growth rates of primary, secondary and tertiary
sectors have been estimated at 5%, 6% and 8.1% as against a growth of
6.8%, 7.5% and 8.4%, respectively, in the previous year. The first revised
estimates for 2017-18 have been compiled using industry-
wise/institution-wise detailed information instead of using the
benchmark-indicator method employed at the time of release of
Provisional Estimates on May 31, 2018, CSO said.
• The price of domestic cooking gas or LPG was lowered by Rs. 1.46 per
cylinder. This was the third consecutive reduction in a month and it
comes due to impact of tax on reduced market rate of the fuel.
• According to media reports, the government will not give an extension
to the deadline of Feb 1, 2019 regarding the implementation of the
revised guidelines for e-commerce companies having foreign direct
investment. It needs to be noted that the government in Dec 2018 had
tightened norms for e-commerce firms by prohibiting online retailers
from selling products of the companies in which they have stake. The
government also barred e-commerce companies from entering into an
agreement for conducting an exclusive sale of products.
• Asian equity markets were mostly higher after the U.S. Federal Reserve
maintained status quo in interest rates, which is in line with expectations.
The Fed said it will be patient in increasing borrowing costs. Today (as of
Feb 1), Asian markets opened higher due to optimism on the U.S. and
China trade front after the U.S. President stated that he expects to strike
a deal with China before Mar 2019. Nikkei and Hangseng grew 0.18% and
0.38%, respectively (as at 8.a.m. IST).
• As per the last close, European markets closed on a mixed note.
Weakness in banking stocks weighed on the indices, however, surge in oil
and gas stocks led to gains. Investors remained cautious amid concerns
about global growth, data showing Italy's economy falling into recession,
Brexit uncertainty and U.S.-China trade tensions.
• As per the last close, U.S markets closed on a mixed note amid a mixed
bag of corporate earnings results for the quarter ended Dec 2018. Decline
in stocks of a chemical and software U.S. major after missing revenue
expectations weighed on the indices. However, gains in a tech and
conglomerate stock due to strong results capped the losses.
