• Indian equity markets ended the last trading session of the week with gains
after MPC kept key interest rates unchanged and maintained the policy
stance as 'accommodative' in its bi-monthly monetary policy meeting.
Better than expected earning numbers reported by India’s biggest public
sector bank also buoyed market sentiments.
• Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 gained 0.23% and
0.19% to close at 50,731.63 and 14,924.25 respectively.
• The overall market breadth on BSE was weak with 1,289 scrips advancing
and 1,688 scrips declining. A total of 151 scrips remained unchanged.
• On the BSE sectoral front, S&P BSE Realty was the major gainer, up 0.94%
followed by S&P BSE Bankex, up 0.9% and S&P BSE Healthcare, up 0.81%.
S&P BSE Telecom was the major loser, down 2.45% followed by S&P BSE
Teck, down 1.3% and S&P BSE Auto, down 1.24%.
• The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) in its monetary policy review kept
key policy repo rate unchanged at 4.0% and decided to continue with the
accommodative stance on the monetary policy. The MPC also decided to
gradually restore the cash reserve ratio (CRR) in two phases in a non-
disruptive manner. Banks moving ahead would be required to maintain the
CRR at 3.5% of Net Demand and Time Liabilities (NDTL) with effect from
Mar 27, 2021 and 4.0% of NDTL with effect from May 22, 2021. All the
members of the MPC unanimously voted for keeping the policy repo rate
unchanged and continuing with the accommodative stance on the
monetary policy.
• MPC is of the view that core inflation is at elevated levels which it
attributed to higher prices of petroleum and diesel. Prices of petroleum
and diesel are currently at a historical high due a surge in global crude oil
prices and high indirect taxes both at the Central level and state level. As a
result, MPC decided to maintain status quo on the monetary policy in order
to closely assess the evolving outlook for inflation and ensure that the
domestic economy returns to a higher growth trajectory.
• MPC projected retail inflation at 5.2% in Q4FY21, in a range of 5.0% to 5.2%
in H1FY22 (first half of FY22) and at 4.3% in Q3FY22.
• MPC projected the growth of the Indian economy at 10.5% in FY22, in the
range of 8.3% to 26.2% in H1FY22 and 6.0% in Q3FY22.
• Sundaram Finance Ltd (SFL) reported 45% rise in net profit at Rs. 242 crore
for the quarter ended Dec 2020 as against profit of Rs. 167 crore in the
corresponding period last year. Disbursements during the quarter under
review rose 8.5% to Rs. 4,307 crore, from Rs. 3,968 crore a year ago.
• Cadila Healthcare Ltd has seen its consolidated net profit rose 41% at Rs.
527.2 crore in quarter ended Dec 2020 as against profit of Rs. 373.9 crore in
the same period last year. Consolidated revenue from operations grew
6.2% to Rs. 3753.7 crore in quarter ended Dec 2020 from Rs. 3,534.5 crore
a year ago.
• Asian markets largely closed in the green as data showing decline in first-
time claims for U.S. unemployment benefits spurred hopes of a faster
economic recovery. Progress in the vaccine rollout and optimism about
additional U.S. fiscal stimulus also buoyed investor sentiments. Today (as on
Feb 08), Asian markets rose following gains on the Wall Street Overnight.
Both Nikkei and Hang Seng rose 1.62% and 1.25%, respectively (as at 8 a.m.
IST).
• European markets closed on a mixed note with market participants reacting
to some of the corporate earnings reports, economic data and updates on
vaccination drive.
• U.S. markets rose after the Labor Department report showed a modest
rebound in the non-farm payroll data for Jan 2021 which neutralised
worries of a prolonged slump. However, it also indicates the economy could
benefit from more fiscal stimulus.
