Bond yields set to fall

The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) decision to defer the auction of government bonds for a notified amount of Rs 15,000 this Friday is set to boost bullish bond market sentiments further. Besides that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation for December eased to a three-month low.

 

"On review of the Government of India's (GoI) cash position and funding requirement, it has been decided, in consultation with GoI, to defer the auction of GoI dated securities amounting to Rs 15,000 crore scheduled to be held on January 17,&" said RBI on Monday.

 

As per the issuance calendar of marketable dated securities released in September, the borrowing programme of the government was to get over in the first week of February. 

 

"The yield on the 10-year benchmark government bond may move down by 10-15 basis points on Wednesday,&" said Siddharth Shah, vice president, STCI Primary Dealer. The yield on the 8.83 per cent 2023 government bond ended at 8.71 per cent on Monday compared with previous close of 8.76 per cent on Friday. Tuesday is a bank holiday due to which the bond market is shut.

 

"The auction has been deferred and not canceled. This auction will possibly be held by the end of this month or may be next month. The fall in yields be more because of fall in CPI inflation. Possibly there may be a pause in this month's monetary policy review,&" said Ramanathan K, executive director and chief investment officer, ING Mutual Fund. RBI will review the monetary policy on January 28. 

 

A month after touching a record high, CPI inflation came down to a three-month low of 9.87 per cent in December. The inflation had touched 11.16% in the previous month.

 

But few traders believe the auction has been deferred in order to create a conducive environment for the Rs 50000 crore debt-switch programme to happen in the current fiscal itself. Under the debt switch plan of Rs 50,000 crore stated in the Union Budget 2013-14, the government announced a plan to buy short-dated debt, and in turn sell longer-dated bonds. This is aimed at spreading out redemptions of debt to later years. "Whatever it is, we are working on it (debt switch) in a non-disruptive manner,&" said RBI, deputy governor, HR Khan earlier this month

Reliance Mutual Fund lowest bidder for managing NPS

Reliance Mutual Fund lowest bidder for managing NPS MUMBAI: Reliance Mutual Fund has emerged as the lowest bidder among the fund managers qualified to manage funds in National Pension Scheme (NPS) for private sector on behalf of the sector regulator PFRDA. Its bid of 1 paise for every Rs 100 worth of NPS funds was way below the other nine bidders, which included UTIMF, DSP Blackrock MF and HDFC Pension Fund Management, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HDFC Standard Life. Bids by all the other nine entities were between 15 paise and 25 paise per Rs 100 worth of funds, sources said. In the next stage, according to PFRDA's request for proposal for bids that was published earlier, all the bidders who bid higher than Reliance MF, will be asked to match the lowest bid, that is Reliance MF's. The fund managers who finally qualify under this round of bidding will manage NPS funds of between Rs 500 crore and Rs 1,000 crore, sources said. Industry players, however, said that Relianc

Key Trigger Points for Market

All eyes in the market will be on Friday's nonfarm payrolls data, which will provide new clues on how well the US economy is recovering and how fast the Federal Reserve might unwind its stimulus programme, which it began to taper last month, and how long it will keep its interest rates low. Before Friday's jobs report, investors will focus on the minutes of the Fed's December policy meeting {for insights on the voting members' stance on the bond-buying programme, known as quantitative easing } ,due out on Jan 8 thursday. India will release November factory output on January 10, the first important data ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy review on January 28. Industrial output data, IIP, will be followed by the more important December consumer and wholesale inflation data in the week starting Monday, January 13, amid widespread expectations food prices have substantially eased last month.

FM's solution to fiscal deficit: Earn now, spend next year

-
Among the finance ministry's efforts to contain the fiscal deficit this year, it appears, is some financial jugglery. Much of the additional expenditure is being rolled over to next financial year, while the tax and dividend income to accrue next year is being brought forward into this year's books. The aim is to ensure the fiscal deficit 'red line' drawn by Finance Minister P Chidambaram — of 4.8 per cent of gross domestic product — is not breached. Tax officers are reportedly asking companies to make higher advance tax payments and, if their actual profits turn out to be lower than projections, take refunds next year. If refunds are high, this would mean an extra burden on the next government, as the finance ministry pays interest at 0.5 per cent per month, or six per cent a year, on refunds to taxpayers. For companies, this means the money that could have been invested elsewhere lies idle. Companies make advance tax payments in four instalments — in June, Sept
