• Indian equity markets declined as coronavirus concerns, F&O expiry, and
expectations of another quarter of subdued GDP growth dented sentiment.
News that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has urged
Americans to prepare as the global situation suggested a pandemic was
likely, made investors jittery.
• Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 lost 0.97% and 1.01%
to close at 39,888.96 and 11,678.50 respectively. S&P BSE MidCap and S&P
BSE SmallCap lost 1.34% and 0.82% respectively.
• The overall market breadth on BSE was weak with 808 scrips advancing and
1,655 scrips declining. A total of 145 scrips remained unchanged.
• On the BSE sectoral front, S&P BSE Telecom was the only gainer, up 0.25%.
S&P BSE Realty was the major loser, down 2.16% followed by S&P BSE Auto,
down 2.12% and S&P BSE Capital Goods, down 2.1%.
• A major global rating agency has said global recession is likely if coronavirus
becomes a pandemic. The chances of it are high and rising with infections
surging in Italy and Korea. The coronavirus has been a body blow to the
Chinese economy, which now threatens to take out the entire global
economy, the agency said.
• Latest study by the World Bank suggests India could be less urbanised than
official figures imply. India’s official urbanisation rate for 2011 is 31.2%. The
urbanization rate emerging from the new study for India is 29.9%. The
estimate of the urban population falls short of the official estimate by
roughly 15 lakh people in each of the states of Odisha, Gujarat, and
Rajasthan. The gap is even bigger in Madhya Pradesh, where it reaches 39
lakh people, and especially in Tamil Nadu, where it approaches 66 lakh
people.
• Media reports showed the Department for Promotion of Industry and
Internal Trade (DPIIT) has amended the foreign direct investment (FDI)
policy to allow 100% FDI for insurance intermediaries, which includes
insurance brooking, insurance companies, third party administrators,
surveyors and loss assessors.
• The Employees Provident Fund Organisation added 7,246,661 new accounts
in the first nine months of FY20, the statistics and programme
implementation ministry said. The number of accounts added by the
government-managed pension fund during Apr-Dec 2019 was higher
compared with the 6,112,223 accounts added in the entire fiscal FY19.
However, the number of new employees added in Dec fell marginally to
1,008,600 from 1,162,863 in Nov 2019.
• Asian equity markets fell amid continued fears that the coronavirus
outbreak could intensify into a pandemic. The number of new coronavirus
cases in South Korea increased and the outbreak spread to more countries,
with Switzerland, Austria and Romania reporting their first infections. Today
(as of Feb 27), Asian markets opened lower among virus spread fears. Both
Nikkei and Hang Seng dropped 1.51% and 0.63% (as at 8.a.m. IST),
respectively.
• European markets were mixed even as investors remained worried over the
spread of the virus to more countries and increase in the number of
infections outside of China.
• U.S. markets declined as the 10-year Treasury yield traded at a record low
amid virus spread concerns. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention warned that Americans should begin to prepare for community
spread of the coronavirus in the U.S.
