Domestic market developments

Domestic market developments:

·         Domestic benchmark equities ended lower today, tracking weak global cues, as worries of a trade war between the US and world's other economies dampen investor sentiment. Financial and energy stocks were among the biggest drags on both the indexes. Sensex and Nifty ended 0.61% and 0.55% lower respectively.

·         Government bond prices ended flat today. However, weakness in Rupee versus Dollar fuelled fears of FPI outflows in the Indian government debt market. Sharp rise in crude oil prices on Friday disrupted risk-appetite. However, hope of more open market bond purchases by RBI provided some support to prices. The yield on 10-year G-sec ended at 7.82% similar to the previous close.

·         The Rupee weakened against the US Dollar on weak risk appetite following ongoing global trade disputes coupled with oil importers' Dollar demand. Foreign banks' dollar buys and negative local equities weighed on the sentiment. However, Dollar index paring gains limited further fall. The Rupee ended at 68.13 vs. previous close of 67.83.

·         RBI injected liquidity to the tune of INR 641.1 mn (net) under LAF (including fixed and variable rate repos and reverse repos) as of June 22. It injected INR 20.42 bn and INR 23.93 bn under Marginal Standing facility and Special Refinance Facility respectively.

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
