Indian Equity markets closed in the red after a no-confidence motion
was moved by the opposition parties against the ruling government and
was accepted by the Parliament. Weakness in rupee and decline in metal
stocks due to slowdown in China’s GDP in the second quarter added to
the losses. However, gains in oil & gas stocks due to fall in crude oil
prices restricted the losses.
Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 fell 0.40% and
0.25% to close at 36,373.44 and 10,980.45, respectively. S&P BSE Mid-
Cap and S&P BSE Small Cap fell 1.27% and 0.95%.
The overall market breadth on BSE was weak with 1,743 scrips
declining and 851 scrips advancing. A total of 133 scrips remained
unchanged.
On the BSE sectoral front, S&P BSE Metal stood as the major loser,
down 3.12% followed by S&P BSE Realty that fell 2.42%. S&P BSE Basic
Materials and S&P BSE Telecom fell 1.89% and 1.85%. S&P BSE Auto and
S&P BSE Industrials fell 1.36% and 1.23%. S&P BSE Oil & Gas stood as the
major gainer, up 1.07% followed by S&P BSE Energy that grew 0.37%.
As per media reports, central government employees and pensioners
could get another salary hike as the government is going to change the
index and base year for calculating dearness allowance (DA). Proposal is
afloat to change the base year every six years to better reflect the
increase in living expenses. DA was increased by 2% from Mar 2018
under the recommendations of the Pay Commission. Consumer price
index for industrial workers (CPI-IW) is used to arrive at DA and the
labour ministry is busy creating a new series of CPI-IW. DA is paid to
government employees, public sector employees and pensioners to
adjust the cost of living and is a percentage of the basic salary.
In order to increase the returns of milk producers, the government has
offered 10% incentive for dairy product exports. It is also thinking of
including milk in mid-day meals. This comes as farmers have been
protesting for an increase in the prices of milk and a Rs. 5 per litre
government subsidy.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has shown optimism on India’s
economy despite downgrading growth slightly for 2018-19 and 2019-20.
The downgrade was done because of rising inflation and a tightening
monetary policy. The bank said the economy is growing very strongly.
The government has said it will look into the disinvestment plan for Air
India later after issues like oil prices and foreign exchange stabilise. The
government’s plan to sell 76% stake in Air India and transfer
management to private players could not fructify in May 2018.
According to media reports, Reliance Industries Ltd is planning to raise
around Rs. 40,000 crore in fresh debt in 2018-19. The company is
expanding into the consumer businesses.
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal has reserved its order
on Essar Steel bid by ArcelorMittal and Russia’s VTB Capital-backed
Numetal. The petition was filed by ArcelorMittal and Numetal.
Asian markets traded in mixed after the Federal Reserve in its
testimony indicated a positive outlook for the U.S. economy. Upbeat U.S.
economic data further boosted investors’ confidence in the global
growth trajectory. However, lower crude oil prices and persisting trade
tensions limited the upside. Today (as of July 19), Asian markets opened
higher taking cues from rise in Wall Street's last session on strong
corporate earnings. Gains in mining and semiconductor sector boosted
the indices. Nikkei and Hangseng grew 0.42% and 0.57%, respectively (as
at 8.a.m. IST).
As per the last close, European markets closed almost higher following
weakness in Euro. Dollar has strengthened on upbeat comments by U.S.
Federal Reserve’s (Fed) Chair in the testimony before Congress. Investors
remained focused towards earnings results and Fed’s chairs’ second day
of testimony.
As per the last close, U.S markets closed almost higher following
strong earnings results from some of the U.S. majors. Gains in
transportation, financial and steel stocks boosted the indices.
