• Indian equity markets ended in the red and the week turned out to be
the worse in almost four months. Markets had opened with an overhang
of the terrorist attack in Kashmir the previous day in which more than 40
CRPF men were killed. The Prime Minister warned of stern action against
the ghastly act. Global cues were weak too because of trade tensions
between the U.S. and China.
• Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 lost 0.19% and
0.20%, respectively, to close at 35,808.95 and 10,724.40, respectively. S&P
BSE Mid-Cap and S&P BSE Small Cap lost 1.18% and 0.83%, respectively.
• The overall market breadth on BSE was weak with 883 scrips advancing
and 1650 scrips declining. A total of 128 scrips remained unchanged.
• On the BSE sectoral front, S&P BSE Utilities was the major gainer, up
2.63%, followed by S&P BSE Power and S&P BSE Oil & Gas, up 2.17% and
1.44%, respectively. S&P BSE Energy gained 1.29% and S&P BSE Telecom
1.06%. S&P BSE Metal was the major loser, down 2.32%, followed by S&P
BSE Healthcare and S&P BSE Basic Materials, down 2.27% and 1.63%,
respectively.
• Government data showed that India’s trade deficit widened to $14.73
billion in Jan 2019 after hitting a 10-month low of $13.08 billion in Dec
2018. India’s trade deficit stood at $15.67 billion in the same period of the
previous year. Merchandise exports witnessed a growth of 3.74% in Jan
2019 on a yearly basis which stood at $26.36 billion, and this can be
attributed to growth in textiles, drugs and pharmaceuticals as well as
organic and inorganic chemicals. Imports grew 0.01% on a yearly basis
which subsequently stood at $41.09 billion in Jan 2019 compared to
$41.01 billion in Dec 2018. For the period from Apr 2018 to Jan 2019,
exports grew 9.52% on a yearly basis while imports grew 11.27%.
• The government has established an inter-ministerial committee headed
by the finance minister to decide on exceptions and further inclusions of
left-out farmers. These farmers did not meet the existing eligibility criteria
of the PM KISAN scheme. The committee could review such cases on
request of state governments if the left-out beneficiaries are big in
number. He said the guidelines of PM KISAN may be modified as and when
need arises.
• An expert panel established by the government has recommended
setting the minimum wage at Rs. 375 a day. This would be higher than the
existing rate of Rs. 321 for agriculture or unskilled workers and Rs. 371 for
semi-skilled workers. The committee has devised a new methodology that
does away with the variation in wages based on sector, skills and location.
It has proposed a “balanced diet approach” to compute minimum wages.
The recommendations, if accepted, will lead to a wage bracket ranging
from Rs. 340 for Bihar and Uttar Pradesh to Rs. 447 for Gujarat.
• According to media reports, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals has received
final approval from the US health regulator for Sevelamer Hydrochloride
tablets which is used to control serum phosphorus in patients with chronic
kidney disease on dialysis.
• According to media reports, Dr Reddy's Laboratories has received the
inspection closure report for its Duvvada facility in Andhra Pradesh from
the US health regulator.

• Asian equity markets fell as investors became anxious over weak
economic data from the U.S. and China. This resurfaced concerns over a
slowdown in the global economy. Also, U.S. President’s firmness that
border security justifies a national emergency and doubts over the latest
round of U.S.-China trade talks kept investors on their toes. Today (as of
Feb 18), Asian markets opened higher amid optimism on U.S.- China trade
talks. Both Nikkei and Hangseng was trading up 1.73% and 1.50%,
respectively (as at 8.a.m. IST).
• As per the last close, European markets closed higher following
optimism on U.S.- China trade talks. Some upbeat corporate earnings
reports and comments from European Central Bank about a likely fresh
round of long-term loans to banks further boosted sentiments.
• As per the last close, U.S markets closed higher following optimism
about U.S.-China trade talks and preliminary reports showing bigger than
expected rise in U.S. consumer sentiment in Feb 2019. Rise in crude oil
prices boosted the energy stocks. However, unexpected fall in industrial
production in Jan 2019 capped the gains.
