• According to data from the government, trade deficit for Apr widened to
$15.33 billion with merchandise exports coming in at $26.07 billion and
imports stood at $41.4 billion. Growth in exports slid to 0.64% in Apr as
shipments of engineering goods, gems and jewellery, leather and other
products declined. Meanwhile, imports increased by 4.5 %, the highest
growth in the last six months as crude oil and gold shipments shot up in
the month.
• According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), monsoon
could be delayed as its arrival is expected to be on Jun 6, which is five days
after its normal onset date, media reports said. The normal onset date for
monsoon over Kerala is Jun 1, which also marks the official
commencement of the four-month rainfall season. This year, IMD and
private weather agency Skymet have given similar predictions. The Skymet
had said that the monsoon would hit the Kerala coast on Jun 4.
• The government could soon decide on whether to officially share the
U.S. dollar-rupee reference rate with overseas exchanges, fund houses,
corporates and banks. The benchmark rate is used to settle millions of
trades and currency derivative contracts in India and abroad. Financial
Benchmark India Pvt Ltd (FBIL), which is mandated by the Reserve Bank of
India, is the independent benchmark administrator for interest and
foreign exchange rates. The agency authorised to set the benchmark
exchange rate has recently started announcing the rate with a day’s lag –
allowing only registered users to access information on the same day.
• Lupin’s fourth quarter profit came in at Rs. 289.6 crore. The drug maker
had posted Rs. 783.5 crore loss in the same quarter of the previous year.
Revenues for Q4 increased to Rs. 4,406.3 crore compared with Rs. 4,033.8
crore in the year-ago quarter.
• Nestle India’s net profit increased 9.2% for the quarter ended Mar 31,
2019, at Rs. 463.2 crore compared with Rs. 424 crore in the year-ago
period. Revenue from operations were up 9% for the quarter at Rs. 3003
crore, up from Rs. 2757.24 crore in the corresponding year.
• Asian equity markets recovered from three-and-half-month lows after
the U.S. President said discussions between China will continue. Also,
investors sentiment was boosted by hopes that Beijing could increase
stimulus to support the economy. Today (as of May 16), Asian markets
opened almost on a lower note despite positive development on global
trade front. Reports showing some weak economic data from U.S. and
China last day likely weighed on the indices. Hangseng and Nikkei fell
0.67% and 1.05%, respectively (as at 8.a.m. IST).
• As per the last close, European markets closed almost higher following
reports that U.S. President plans to delay the implementation of auto
tariffs on European car imports. Eurozone's strong GDP data for Q1’19
boosted market sentiment. However, China's weak industrial production
data for Apr 2019 restricted the gains.
• As per the last close, U.S markets closed almost higher on positive
reaction to reports that U.S. President plans to delay the imposition of
steep tariffs on auto imports. However, unexpected decline in U.S. retail
sales and industrial production in Apr 2019 restricted the gains.
• Indian equity markets fell as investors stayed on the side lines before the
outcome of the general elections next week. The results are scheduled to
be announced on May 23, 2019. Also, trade tensions between the U.S. and
China have kept investors on the edge.
• Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 gained 0.55% and
0.58%, respectively, to close at 37,114.88 and 11,157.00, respectively. S&P
BSE Mid-Cap and S&P BSE Small Cap lost 0.67% and 0.45%, respectively.
• The overall market breadth on BSE was weak with 983 scrips advancing
and 1583 scrips declining. A total of 177 scrips remained unchanged.
• On the BSE sectoral front, only three sectors gained. S&P BSE Realty was
the major gainer, up 0.24%, followed by S&P BSE Information Technology
and S&P BSE Fast Moving Consumer Goods, up 0.12% and 0.1%,
respectively. S&P BSE Metal was the major loser, down 2.08%, followed by
S&P BSE Telecom and S&P BSE Utilities, down 1.96% and 1.69%,
respectively.
