• Indian equity markets gained for the second consecutive day after
taking cues from most of the other regional peers. Investors also
remained optimist ahead of the key economic data scheduled to be
released during the week, including, Nikkei Markit Manufacturing
Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), fiscal deficit and Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) data. However, upside was limited on worries over more
fraudulent cases in public sector banks.
• Key benchmark indices, S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 gained 0.89% and
0.87% to close at 34,445.75 and 10,582.60, respectively. S&P BSE Mid-
Cap and S&P BSE Small-Cap fell 0.74% and 0.88%, respectively.
• The overall market breadth on BSE was strong with 1575 scrips
advancing and 1172 scrips declining. A total of 195 scrips remained
unchanged.
• On the BSE sectoral front, S&P BSE Realty (3.3%) was the top gainer
followed by S&P BSE Auto (2.22%) and S&P BSE Capital Goods (1.83%).
Among the losers, S&P BSE IT (-1.1%) was the major loser followed by
S&P BSE Teck (-0.69%), S&P BSE HC (-0.04%) and S&P BSE FMCG (-
0.03%).
• According to media reports, the borrowing cost of central government
and state government may come down in FY19. The expectation comes
after the Indian government allowed the Employees’ Provident Fund
Organization (EPFO) to allocate a minimum of 20% of its portfolio to
corporate bonds. This is lower than the earlier threshold which was set
at 35%. The threshold has been lowered due to lack of availability of
quality corporate paper in the country. This increase in investment limit
for sovereign bonds is expected to lower the pressure on government
debt market where the benchmark yield have increased significantly in
the past five months.
• Data from capital market regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of
India (SEBI) showed that investment in the domestic capital market
through participatory notes plunged to a near eight and a half year low
to Rs. 1.19 lakh crore in Jan 18 from Rs. 1.25 lakh crore in the previous
month. This is at the lowest level since Aug 2009 when investment in the
domestic capital market through participatory notes stood at Rs. 1.10
lakh crore. The steep decline can be attributed to strict measures taken
by SEBI to check misuse of the same.
• Bharti Airtel has announced to work in collaboration with Seamless
Alliance to bring high-speed and uninterrupted in-flight data connectivity
to mobile customers.
• Dr Reddy’s Laboratories announced that it has received the
establishment inspection report (EIR) from the U.S. health regulator for
its Srikakulam plant.
• Reliance Industries and BP Plc's $4 billion plan for developing 3 sets of
discoveries in KG-D6 block in Bay of Bengal was approved by a
government oversight panel.
• Asian markets went up as investors continued to take positive cues
from the U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary policy report, which suggested
a gradual pace of interest rate hikes in 2018. The same eased worries
over faster than expected rate hike by the U.S. central bank. Today (As of
Feb 27), Asian markets opened higher amid gains in Wall Street’s last
session. Also, gains in manufacturing, auto, financial and technology
stocks further boosted the indices. Nikkei and Hang seng grew 1.47% and
0.48%, respectively (as at 8.a.m. IST).
• As per the last close, European markets ended higher amid gains in
technology and basic resources stocks. However, investors remained
cautious ahead of an eventful trading week including new U.S. Federal
Reserve’s Chair release of first semi-annual monetary policy report.
• As per the last close, U.S markets ended almost higher amid continued
fall in treasury yields. Gains in telecom, technology and semiconductor
stocks further boosted the indices. However, weak new home sales in
Jan 2018 capped the gains.
