• Indian equity markets snapped the four-day winning streak as investors
cashed in the gains post the recent rally. Presently, the Q2FY21 corporate
earnings result are largely positive, nonetheless a lot is factored in.
However, optimism continued as earnings trajectory stays in line with the
estimate. Meanwhile, investors remained cautious as U.S. fiscal stimulus
talks are getting delayed further and focus is drifting to the U.S. election
outcome.
• Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 lost 0.37% and 0.35%
to close at 40,558.49 and 11,896.45 respectively.
• The overall market breadth on BSE was strong with 1,422 scrips advancing
and 1,204 scrips declining. A total of 167 scrips remained unchanged.
• On the BSE sectoral front, S&P BSE Telecom was the major gainer, up 2.53%
followed by S&P BSE Power, up 2.05% and S&P BSE Utilities, up 1.84%. S&P
BSE IT was the major loser, down 0.7% followed by S&P BSE Bankex, down
0.59% and S&P BSE Healthcare, down 0.4%.
• Labour and Employment Minister introduced a new series of consumer
price index for industrial workers (CPI-IW), which is used by policymakers to
set dearness allowance of employees. The CPI-IW for Sep 2020, under the
new series, stood at 118. According to the Labour Bureau, the linking factor

being revised from 2001. Under the previous base, the CPI-IW for Aug 2020
stood at 338. Accounting for a linking factor, the CPI-IW for Aug would be
117.4.
• According to media reports, the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI)
has asked rating companies to provide information of rating actions and
broader trends after the lockdown that brought businesses to a grinding
halt. The change is seen as an effort to evaluate the overall economic
situation, with the authorities trying to reinvigorate stagnant growth in
particular.
• In comparison to previous special liquidity initiatives, the Reserve Bank of
India (RBI) finalised the on-tap long-term repo lending (TLTRO) for Rs. 1
lakh crores where funds could be invested even in less than investment
grade debt and in five sectors, including agriculture, healthcare, secured
retail, micro, small and medium enterprises, agri-infrastructure. Under this
dedicated scheme, banks can use cash only to deploy corporate bonds,
commercial papers and non-convertible debentures.
• According to RBI Governor, after a record contraction as monetary and
fiscal policies moved in tandem, India is at the doorstep of economic
growth, but the government has to spell out a roadmap on how to get back
to fiscal prudence after the pandemic. Fiscal and monetary policy were both
counter-cyclical and accommodative, and both operated in near symmetry,
he said, adding that the government's fiscal measures to deal with the
pandemic have been well balanced and prudent so far.
• Asian markets largely closed in the red after the International Monetary
Fund downgraded its growth forecast for Asia-Pacific in 2020 to -2.2%.
Doubt on the prospects of a bipartisan, multi-trillion-dollar U.S. stimulus
deal before Presidential election and the death of a volunteer participating
in COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials also dented risk sentiment. Today (as on
Oct 23), Asian markets were mixed as investors monitor coronavirus
developments. Both Nikkei and Hang Seng were trading lower 0.05% and
0.1% (as at 8 a.m. IST), respectively.
• European markets mostly fell as market participants reacted to uncertainty
over U.S. coronavirus stimulus, new consumer data and a latest batch of
corporate earnings.
• U.S. markets rose as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi indicated Democrats and
the White House continue to make progress toward an agreement on a
new stimulus bill.
