• Indian equity markets closed in the red, dragged by weak global cues and

detected a new "double mutant variant" of the novel coronavirus. The rising

country and impact on economic recovery.

to close at 49,180.31 and 14,549.40 respectively.

2,169 scrips declining. A total of 170 scrips remained unchanged.

loser, down 2.93%, followed by S&P BSE Metal and S&P BSE Auto, down
2.75% and 2.6%, respectively. S&P BSE Bankex and S&P BSE Industrials lost
2.53% and 2.45% respectively.

minimum limit of employee contributions to provident funds for taxation
purposes to over Rs 5 lakh with some riders, paving the way for the listing

the proposed development finance institutions (DFIs).

exchanges, depositories and all market intermediaries, which use bulk SMS

compliance with Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s (TRAI) rules. Sebi
further said that non- compliance with the provisions of Telecom
Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations, 2018
(TCCCP Regulations) may result in disruption of delivery of their messages
to the investors.
• In the event of delivery default, Securities and Exchange Board of India
(Sebi) has introduced a new penal structure for commodity derivatives.

derivatives segments should have an appropriate deterrent mechanism in
place to prevent intentional or wilful delivery defaults, as well as adequate
compensation for non-defaulting counterparties.

Street overnight. While Nikkei rose 0.90%, Hang Seng fell 3.05% (as at 8
a.m. IST).

on uncertainty about pace of economic recovery due to surge in Covid-19
infections and fresh lockdown measures in several countries.
• U.S. markets fell on lingering concerns about the outlook for high-growth
companies contributed to the sell-off by technology stocks. Selling was
