Markets extend rally for second straight session
Extending northward journey for second straight session, Indian equity benchmarks once again hit all time high levels, with Nifty and Sensex ending just shy of their crucial 10,700 and 34,600 levels, respectively. Markets traded mostly in green during the session though some hiccups witnessed in noon deals but it proved short-lived and key gauges managed to end the session comfortably near their all time high levels. Markets started the day on an optimistic note, as traders remained hopeful ahead of Infosys earnings later today and budget next month. Investors also took some encouragement with Niti Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar’s statement that economy is expected to clock growth of 7.5% in 2018. He further noted that as the economy picks up, employment will pick up. Sentiments also remained positive with US-India Strategic Partnership Forum’s (USISPF) report that India's decision to relax FDI norms in various sectors would make it a much more attractive destination for overseas investors. Some support also came with Farm Minister Radha Mohan Singh’s statement that India’s agriculture sector will expand more than 4% in 2017-18, trying to allay concerns raised by the statistical office’s projection of sluggish growth in one of the most important segments of the economy.
However, sharp sell-off witnessed in noon deals and markets entered into red terrain, as anxiety spread among the traders ahead of key economic data - industrial production (IIP) numbers for November and retail inflation for December - to be released later in the day. some concerns also came with India Ratings and Research’s latest report that private sector capital expenditure growth is expected to remain muted with slowing pace, for next two financial years on account of weak domestic consumption demand, global overcapacity and negative impact of Goods and Services Tax (GST) on working capital. Markets showed splendid recovery in last leg of trade and settled near fresh all time high levels as traders took some support from private report that economic indicators like PMIs, vehicle sales and steel demand suggest that growth momentum in India has gathered pace in December.
Firm opening in European counters too aided sentiments on signs of progress on the German political front and as traders focused on a fresh batch of corporate earnings reports. Asian markets ended mostly in green terrain on Friday with China reporting trade data for December with exports up 10.9%, compared to a gain of 9.1% seen, imports posted a 4.5% rise, compared to a 13.0% increase expected and the trade balance came in at $54.69 billion surplus, compared to surplus of $37 billion seen.
Back home, steel stocks remained on buyers’ radar, as the Union Steel Minister Birender Singh said that exports should account for 6-7 per cent of India’s total steel production in the next few years, up from the 1.5 per cent at present. However, telecom stocks remained under pressure on report that the telecom regulator may reduce international termination rate (ITR) - a charge paid by international operators to local networks that receive calls - by almost half from the current 53 paise a minute, a move that would deal a body blow to India’s top telcos which receive bulk of international calls.
