• Indian equity witnessed selling pressure, defying the ruling party’s
favorable outcome in the recently-held elections in three North Eastern
states. Contraction in the domestic service sector in Feb 2018 weighed on
investor sentiments. Additionally, weak cues from Wall Street continued
to be a spoilsport. Last week, U.S. President announced imposition of
hefty tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum products, in a move to
protect U.S. industry. Such a move is expected to result in widespread
fears of an ugly trade war with China as well as key American allies.
• Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 fell 0.88% and
0.95% to close at 33,746.78 and 10,358.85, respectively. S&P BSE Mid-Cap
and S&P BSE Small-Cap fell 0.95% and 1.09%, respectively.
• On the BSE sectoral front, barring, S&P BSE IT (0.37%) stood as the
major gainer followed by S&P BSE Consumer Durables (0.26%) and S&P
BSE TECK (0.08%) all the major indices closed in the red. S&P BSE Metal (-
3.3%) was the major loser followed by S&P BSE Energy (-2.16%) and S&P
BSE Basic Materials (-2.14%).
• Nikkei India Services Business Activity Index fell to 47.8 in Feb from 51.7
in Jan 2018, lowest since Aug 2017. Service activity contracted as rise in
prices led to a decline in new businesses orders. Meanwhile, the
contraction in services activity offset an expansion in manufacturing
activity and composite Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) that plunged to
49.7 from 52.5 in Jan.
• The Reserve Bank of India has further tightened the priority sector
lending (PSL) norms for foreign banks. RBI has directed them to
compulsorily create sub-targets so that they lend a portion of their loans
to small and marginal farmers as well as micro enterprises from Apr 2020.
RBI however has provided relief by removing the credit limit, which means
all loans given to MSMEs will now qualify under priority sector lending.
The PSL norms mandate foreign banks to lend 40% of their total loan book
to the priority sector, such as agriculture, rural infra, and MSMEs among
others from Apr 2020.
• The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed a penalty of Rs. 3 crore on
Axis Bank for not complying with income recognition and asset
classification (IRAC) norms.
• RBI has imposed a fine of Rs 20 million on Indian Overseas Bank for not
complying with the directions issued by the RBI on Know Your Customer
(KYC) norms. The fine was imposed on Feb 27, 2018.
• According to media reports, the U.S. drug regulator has issued Form 483
with nine observations to Aurobindo Pharma’s unit in Hyderabad. The U.S.
drug regulator cited deficiencies in maintaining manufacturing standards.
• According to media reports, the Indian government has given in-
principle approval to 26% stake sale in Bharat Earth Movers Limited. The
government holds 54.03% stake in the firm.
• According to media reports, Axa SA has agreed to buy XL Group Ltd. for
$15.3 billion in cash. As per reports, this is the the biggest-ever European
acquisition of a US insurer.
• Asian markets largely remained low amid persisting concerns over a
global trade war following U.S. President’s announcement of hefty tariffs
on imports of steel and aluminum products last week. Chinese markets
remained flat as Chinese leaders headed into an annual parliament
meeting and a survey showed activity in China's services sector eased
slightly in Feb 2018. Today (As of Mar 6), Asian markets opened higher as
worries over global trade war eased after the U.S. President opened the
door for negotiations on tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Both
Nikkei and Hang Seng were trading up 2.31% and 1.44% (as at 8.a.m. IST).
• As per the last close, European market ended higher as worries over
global trade war eased after the U.S. President opened the door for
negotiations on tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. However, political
uncertainty in Italy weighed on investor’s sentiments.
• As per the last close, U.S markets recovered from initial decline and
ended higher as global trade war worries eased after the U.S. President
announced opening the door for negotiations on tariffs on steel and
aluminum imports.
