Stock specific weaknesses kept domestic equity markets under pressure.
Stocks of oil companies fell amid concerns that the government may ask
them to share the burden of higher petrol and diesel prices. Decline in
one of the mining majors following protests in its copper plant also
weighed on the indices. Furthermore, soft global cues after the U.S.
President showed dissatisfactions towards U.S.-China trade talks dented
market sentiments.
Key benchmark indices, S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 fell 0.88% and
1.01% to close at 34,344.91 and 10,430.35, respectively. S&P BSE Mid-Cap
and S&P BSE Small-Cap fell 0.24% and 0.47%, respectively.
The overall market breadth on BSE was strong with 1,587 scrips
declining and 1,068 scrips advancing. A total of 122 scrips remained
unchanged.
On the BSE sectoral front, S&P BSE Metal was the major loser, down
3.93%, followed by S&P BSE Oil & Gas that fell 3.45%. S&P BSE Energy and
S&P BSE Basic Materials fell 2.52% and 2.11%, respectively. S&P BSE
Consumer Durables was the major gainer, up 0.29% followed by S&P BSE
Capital Goods that grew 0.06%.
According to the ministry of finance, India’s net direct tax collection in
FY18 stood at Rs. 10.03 lakh crore. This corresponds to an increase of 18%
on a yearly basis. India’s net direct tax collection rate was thus the fastest
in the last seven fiscal years.
According to media reports, the government is considering raising
import duty on wheat to 40% from 20%. The objective of the move is to
protect local farmers from cheap imports. As per the government’s third
advance estimate, India is expected to produce a record 98.61 million
tonnes of wheat in 2017-18 crop year. According to reports, millers in
South India are prominent buyers of wheat from Russia, Australia and
Ukraine and an increase in import duty will deter them to import wheat
from overseas.
According to media reports, the central government will come out with
a model law on contract farming and services in agriculture crops,
livestock, dairy and poultry products. The objective of the move is to
ensure better price for farmers and thereby help farmers double their
income by 2022. Contract farming is a pre-production agreement between
farmers and sponsors.
According to media reports, Tata Motors reported 49.82% decline in
consolidated net profit to Rs 2,176.16 crore for the quarter ended Mar,
2018. Tata Motors had witnessed a net profit of Rs. 4,336.43 crore in the
same period of the previous year.
According to media reports, Dr Reddy's Laboratories reported a 3.29%
fall in its consolidated net profit to Rs. 302.20 crore for the fourth quarter
ended Mar, 2018 that can be attributed to persisting headwinds in the
U.S.
According to media reports, Sun Pharma has received approval from the
U.S. health regulator for YONSA which will be used for treatment of a
form of prostate cancer.
According to media reports, L&T Construction has received an order
worth Rs. 1,425 crore in the domestic market.

Asian stock markets mostly traded lower on negative cues from
overnight U.S. markets after U.S. President raised his concerns over the
U.S.-China trade talks and upcoming summit with North Korea. Stronger
yen and fall in crude oil prices further weighed on the sentiments.
However, respite was seen following Chinese Finance Ministry’s
statement that the country is likely to cut import duties on passenger
vehicles from Jul 1. Today (as of May 24), Asian markets opened lower as
investors remained cautious amid ongoing trade talks between the U.S.
and China. Both Nikkei and Hang Seng grew 1.26% and 0.08%, respectively
(as at 8.a.m. IST).
As per the last close, European markets ended lower following
uncertainty over the political situation in Italy. Weak private sector
activity data from eurozone in May 2018 and ongoing trade talks between
the U.S. and China further added to losses.
As per the last close, U.S markets ended higher after the minutes from
the U.S. Federal Reserve showed that the central bank will be comfortable
if inflation temporarily run above its target of 2%.
