Benchmarks end lower ahead of Budget
Tuesday turned out to be a daunting day of trade for Indian equity benchmarks, with frontline gauges settling below their crucial 36,100 (Sensex) and 11,050 (Nifty) levels. Markets kick-started the session on pessimistic note, as traders remained concerned over valuations after recent strong gains. Traders also remained on sidelines ahead of upcoming budget, as this will be the last full year budget of the government before next year’s Lok Sabha election. Afterwards, markets traded in a tight band throughout the session, as sentiments remained dampened with Chief Economic Adviser Arvind Subramanian’s statement that the scope for the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to lower interest rate may be limited with growth picking up and inflation hardening. He added however that it would be inappropriate for him to comment on rate cut as it is the domain of the RBI.
Traders also remained nervous with NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar’s statement that the government may settle for slightly higher fiscal deficit in 2018-19 as well. The government aims to restrain the fiscal deficit for 2017-18 to 3.2% of the GDP and 3% in 2018-19.Some anxiety spread among the investors after yesterday’s Economic Survey, while painting a bright picture for India’s short and medium term growth, pointed out some pitfalls. It enlightened that despite better-than-expected GST revenue growth, India is headed for some fiscal slippage and could miss the target of 3.2% of GDP.
The survey also added that agriculture income may fall by up to 25% in the medium term because climate change will hit crop yields, making it imperative to replace power and fertilizer subsidies by direct income support and to drastically expand irrigation. Market participants shrugged off report that Securities and Exchanges Board of India (SEBI) may tighten net worth norms, bring in new shareholding rules and ease directorship conditions for stock exchanges, depositories and clearing corporations.Weak opening in European markets too dampened sentiments as global markets took a risk-averse turn, with cyclical sectors including mining and financials suffering the sharpest losses. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the euro zone rose as expected in the fourth quarter.
The GDP rose a seasonally adjusted 0.6% in the final three months of 2017. Asian markets ended in red, as oil extended declines and US bond yields rose to their highest levels in nearly four years.Back home, Oil marketing companies i.e. Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) edged higher after strong numbers from IOC. IOC’s Q3 earnings beat expectations and the company announced the bonus issue in the ratio of 1:1. The Gross Refining Margin (GRM) for the quarter ended December 2017 stood at $12.30 a barrel, which was far ahead of street expectation of $8.20 a barrel. Aviation companies like InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo), SpiceJet and Jet Airways ended in green after CAPA report enlightened that backed by record capacity expansion, airlines will fly more than 150 million domestic passengers in FY19. The capacity addition will be led by IndiGo. Meanwhile, Amber Enterprises made stellar debut and ended with a gain of over 44% on the BSE.
