Update on Nifty levels, Bank Nifty levels and Derivative Outlook of the day 17th Jan 2018
Nifty 10700 /Sensex 34771/ Bank Nifty 25974
17 Advances / 33 Declines/ 0 Unchanged
Benchmarks snap three days winning streak; Sensex gives up 34,800 mark
Snapping three days gaining streak, Indian equity benchmarks ended the volatile day of trade with marginal losses on Tuesday, as traders opted to book profit at higher levels. Markets altered between green and red throughout the session to end marginally in red, as traders remained a bit cautious with the merchandise export growth slowing sequentially to 12.4% in December, while imports jumping 21.1% during the month, aided by a spike in crude oil prices and a favorable base. The trade deficit widened to its highest level in over three years in December to $14.9 billion, a three-year peak. However, excluding the almost 35% rise in oil purchases from overseas, overall imports rose 17.2% in December. Traders also remained on sidelines ahead of GST Council meeting scheduled to be held on January 18, which will also be the last meeting before Budget 2018. The council is likely to revise rates for electric vehicles, farm equipment, ease compliance & modify the reverse charge mechanism. The recommendations of the law review committee are also likely to be taken up for consideration by the GST Council, comprising Centre and states.
However, losses remained capped, as International Monetary Fund (IMF) highlighted that India is reclaiming its place as a growth leader after a short period of slowdown in the economy. Some relief also came with Prime Minister Narendra Modi promising more economic reforms to further improve the ease of doing business in India as he invited Israeli companies to invest in India. PM further noted that India is the fastest growing economy with FDI inflows at all-time high. Traders also took some solace with private report stating that two Asian economies - India and Indonesia - will see a pick-up in GDP growth in 2018, reaping benefits of the economic reforms. It further noted that in the Indian context, adapting to the new GST regime, economic reforms aiding growth and recapitalization plan for public sector banks will lead to increased investment growth and economic activity over the coming quarters.
On the global front, European markets were trading in green in early deals, as investors monitored the release of corporate earnings while keeping an eye on the euro, which hovered near a three-year peak. Asian markets rallied on Tuesday, following a holiday for US markets as investors looked ahead to American corporate earnings.
Back home, shares of Information Technology (IT) stocks remained on buyers’ radar, as investors reacted to a weaker rupee at the interbank foreign exchange after concerns over trade deficit ballooning to a three-year high. The export oriented stocks remained in focus, as the various export bodies have expressed concern over delay in refunds under GST and have written to the Union Commerce Ministry seeking faster refunds. Mixed reactions were displayed in Jewellery stocks on report that the Commerce Ministry has pitched for reduction in import duty on gold in the forthcoming Budget with an aim to promote gold Jewellery exports. The Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) has demanded cut in import duty on gold to 4% from the current 10%.
