India's July-Sept GDP growth seen at 5.4%

India's economy probably expanded near its slowest pace in three years in the quarter to September, according to a Reuters poll, suggesting little signs of an early turnaround, despite reform steps taken by the government to lure back investors. Gross domestic product rose 5.4 percent year-on-year in the July-September period, slightly lower than the 5.5 percent increase in the previous quarter, and only just above the three-year low of 5.3 percent in the quarter to end-March, the median consensus of 39 consensus showed. Forecasts ranged from 5.0 percent to 6.2 percent. Asia's third-largest economy is growing faster than many other countries, but the pace is way below the 9 percent growth that the government has targeted to provide jobs for a booming young population. Data on factory activity showed slowing global demand hurt exports and falling investments weighed on the manufacturing sector, which has been the biggest drag on overall growth in the quarter to September. The next monetary policy review is due in December.

FDI पर झुकी सरकार, अब चलेगी संसद

मल्टि-ब्रैंड रीटेल में एफडीआई के मुद्दे पर संसद में जारी गतिरोध खत्म हो गया है। सरकार संसद के दोनों सदनों में वोटिंग वाले नियम के तहत चर्चा के लिए तैयार हो गई है। विपक्ष खासकर बीजेपी और लेफ्ट पार्टियों की मांग के मुताबिक, लोकसभा में नियम 184 के तहत और राज्यसभा में नियम 168 के तहत चर्चा की जाएगी। सूत्रों ने बताया कि लोकसभा में इस मुद्दे पर 4 और 5 दिसंबर को चर्चा होगी। राज्यसभा में चर्चा की तारीख अभी तय नहीं हुई है। लोकसभा अध्यक्ष मीरा कुमार ने इस बारे में दिए गए नोटिसों को स्वीकार कर लिया है। राज्यसभा के सभापति हामिद अंसारी ने सर्वदलीय मीटिंग में सदन के भीतर वोटिंग वाले नियम के तहत चर्चा पर सहमति दे दी। राज्यसभा में बहस के बाद मांग के आधार पर वोटिंग होगी। मीरा कुमार के फैसले के तुरंत बाद संसदीय कार्य मंत्री कमलनाथ ने राज्यसभा के सभापति हामिद अंसारी को सरकार के रुख की जानकारी दी। उन्होंने कहा, 'मैंने कहा है कि हमारी पार्टी और सरकार संसद के दोनों सदनों को चलाए जाने के पक्ष में है और किस नियम के तहत चर्चा हो, इस बारे में सभापति का जो भी फैसला हो वह संसद को चलाने की दिशा में होना चाहिए।' एक सवाल के जवाब में कमलनाथ ने कहा, 'अगर सभापति मत विभाजन के बारे में फैसला करते हैं तो हमें वोटिंग के लिए तैयार होना पडेगा।' यूपीए सरकार को बाहर से समर्थन दे रही समाजवादी पार्टी के अंदर इस मुद्दे पर अलग-अलग सुर दिखाई दे रहे हैं। एसपी के नेता और महासचिव रामगोपाल यादव ने कहा एफडीआई पर मतविभाजन की स्थिति में उनकी पार्टी सरकार के खिलाफ वोट करेगी। जब उनसे पूछा गया कि निचले सदन में पार्टी का रुख क्या होगा, तो उन्होंने कहा कि लोकसभा के नेताओं से पूछिए। इस मामले में उत्तर प्रदेश के मुख्यमंत्री अखिलेश यादव ने कहा कि अभी हमने अपना रुख तय नहीं किया है। उन्होंने कहा कि नेताजी (मुलायम सिंह यादव) तय करेंगे कि पार्टी का रुख क्या होगा। इससे पहले, बृहस्पतिवार सुबह लोकसभा स्पीकर मीरा कुमार ने एफडीआई के मुद्दे पर मत विभाजन के प्रावधान वाले नियम 184 के तहत चर्चा कराने का नोटिस स्वीकार कर लिया। सदन की कार्यवाही शुरू होने पर मीरा कुमार ने कहा, 'मुझे मल्टि-ब्रैंड रीटेल में एफडीआई के मुद्दे पर नियम 184 के तहत चर्चा कराने के संबंध में 30 नोटिस प्राप्त हुए हैं। मैंने इसे स्वीकार कर लिया है।' उन्होंने कहा कि चर्चा की तारीख और समय का फैसला बाद में किया जाएगा। लोकसभा में विपक्ष की नेता सुषमा स्वराज ने अध्यक्ष की व्यवस्था पर धन्यवाद देते हुए कहा, 'सदन की भावना को ध्यान में रखने के लिए मैं आपका आभार व्यक्त करती हूं और आपको विश्वास दिलाती हूं कि अब सदन सुचारू रूप से चलेगा।' गौरतलब है कि एफडीआई के मुद्दे पर हंगामे के कारण 22 नवंबर से शुरू हुए संसद के विंटर सेशन में लगातार चार दिन कोई कामकाज नहीं हो सका। इस मुद्दे पर तृणमूल कांग्रेस ने सरकार के खिलाफ अविश्वास प्रस्ताव पेश करने की कोशिश की लेकिन संख्या बल नहीं होने के कारण यह प्रयास विफल रहा था। गतिरोध समाप्त करने के प्रयास सर्वदलीय बैठक बुलाई गई जो बेनतीजा रही, क्योंकि विपक्ष मतविभाजन के प्रावधान के तहत चर्चा कराने पर अड़ा हुआ था। बहरहाल, यूपीए के घटक दलों की बैठक के बाद संसद में जारी गतिरोध दूर करने का रास्ता निकल सका। मल्टि-ब्रैंड रिटेल में एफडीआई के मुद्दे पर चर्चा शुरू होने से पहले गुरुवार को संसदीय कार्य मंत्री कमल नाथ, गृह मंत्री और सदन के नेता सुशील कुमार शिंदे, लोकसभा में विपक्ष की नेता सुषमा स्वराज ने लोकसभा स्पीकर मीरा कुमार से मुलाकात की। कमल नाथ ने अब संसद की कार्यवाही गुरुवार को सुचारू रूप से चलने की उम्मीद जताई। उन्होंने कहा कि सरकार जब एफडीआई के मुद्दे पर वोटिंग के लिए राजी हो गई है तो कार्यवाही बाधित होने का प्रश्न ही नहीं है। यूपीए की सहयोगी डीएमके हालांकि एफडीआई के विरोध में है लेकिन उसने स्पष्ट कर दिया है मतविभाजन की स्थिति में वह सरकार का साथ देगी। बहुजन समाज पार्टी (बीएसपी) भी इसका विरोध कर रहे है लेकिन मतविभाजन पर उसका स्पष्ट रुख अब तक सामने नहीं आया है। सूत्रों का कहना है कि एसपी और बीएसपी मतविभाजन में भाग न लेकर अप्रत्यक्ष रूप से सरकार का सहयोग कर सकते हैं। सरकार को तृणमूल कांग्रेस के उस फैसले से भी राहत मिली है जिसमें उसने कहा है कि बहस किसी नियम के तहत हो, इसका चर्चा पीठासीन अधिकारी करे। हालांकि सरकार तृणमूल का समर्थन मिलने को लेकर आश्वस्त नहीं है। तृणमूल से जुड़े एक सूत्र ने बताया कि मतविभाजन की स्थिति में तृणमूल भी इससे दूर रह सकती है।

Market watch: Cues that will set Nifty's trend

The Indian market closed flat on Friday after recouping losses in late trade. The Nifty fell just 1.15 points to close at 5,626.60. The Sensex declined 10.77 points to end at 18,506.57. However, the week was positive as the benchmark indices gained 1 percent. The US markets closed more than 1 percent higher in a holiday-shortened session, led by strength in big-cap tech stocks. Volume was thin following the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday. Major indices had their best week in over five months. For the week, the Dow rose 3.3 percent, the S&P climbed 3.6 percent and the Nasdaq jumped 4 percent. The CBOE volatility index fell to near 15. European markets had their best week so far this year, led by strong German business confidence data and growing expectations Greece will receive more aid. A big task lies ahead for the Euro zone finance ministers as they meet in Brussels today and try to make a deal for Greece. So far their track record has not been great. EU finance ministers will meet in Brussels to discuss a deal for Greece with talks over aid to Athens breaking down last week. On Friday, EU leaders failed to reach and agreement on their budget for the next seven years. So, question now is can the Troika bridge their differences and release the next tranche of cash for Greece today or will it end is tears again. France's finance minister says yes they can do it, but sticking points do remain key among a potential write down of Greece's sovereign debt which the IMF has maintained is vital for Athens to move forward. At 7: 41 am (IST), Asian markets were trading mixed. China's Shanghai Composite was down 0.32% or 6.44 points at 2,020.95. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was flat at 21,895.04.

FDI in retail in the Winter Session of Parliament Start

The Opposition looks to give a tough time to the UPA government over the issue of FDI in retail in the Winter Session of Parliament. However, the government is confident that it has the numbers. Here's a look at the possible scenarios in Parliament: Strength of Lok Sabha: 544 Half way mark: 272 UPA: 254 NDA: 152 Outside support to UPA: BSP+SP+RJD+JDS = 50 BSP VIEW If both the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party join the Trinamool Congress in opposing FDI in retail, the UPA will face embarrassment as it won't manage majority. However, this looks unlikely now with Mayawati telling the BSP MPs not to join the Opposition's protest against FDI in retail. TMC VIEW If the TMC opposes FDI and the SP and BSP abstain from voting, the effective strength of the Lok Sabha will come down. While the BSP has made it clear that it won't oppose FDI in retail, the SP has also been saying that it won't vote in favour of the BJP. GOVERNMENT VIEW If the government doesn't agree to debate with voting, the Opposition will ensure that no legislative business takes place. This seems to be the most likely scenario with the current situation.

The Reserve Bank today directed banks not to give loans for purchase of gold in any form, including primary gold, bullion and jewellery, to dissuade people from indulging in speculative activity. "...it is advised that no advances should be granted by banks for purchase of gold in any form, including primary gold, gold bullion, gold jewellery, gold coins, units of gold Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) and units of gold mutual funds," RBI said in a notification. No advances should be granted by banks against gold bullion to dealers or traders in gold if, in their assessment, such advances are likely to be utilised for purposes of financing gold purchase at auctions or speculative holding of stocks and bullion, it said. However, it said banks can provide finance for genuine working capital requirements of jewellers. The decision was taken in view of significant rise in imports of gold in recent years putting pressure on currentaccount deficit. In the 2011-12 fiscal, India's gold imports stood at USD 60 billion and the quantum of import was 1,067 tonnes. In the April-June quarter of the current fiscal, however, gold imports had contracted by 18.4 percent year-on-year to Rs 71,912 crore (USD 13 billion). The Monetary Policy Statement of April 2012 announced the constitution of a Working Group to study issues relating to gold imports and gold loans by Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) in India. The Working Group, submitted its draft report in August 2012, suggested that other than working capital finance, banks are not permitted to finance purchase of gold in any form.

Gold, silver bounce back on low-level buying

Snapping a two day losing trend, both the precious metals, gold and silver, today bounced back on buying by retailers at existing low levels for the ongoing wedding season amid a firm global trend. While gold rebounded by Rs 175 to Rs 32,175 per 10 grams, silver gained Rs 100 to Rs 61,100 per kg. Traders said emergence of buying at existing lower levels to meet the wedding season demand amid a firm global trend, mainly pushed up the precious metals prices. They said the gold in overseas markets rose following an escalating conflict in the Middle East spurred demand for a investment haven. Gold in New York, which normally sets the price trend on the domestic front, rose by 0.1 per cent to USD 1,714.70 an ounce. On the domestic front, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity staged a sharp recovery of Rs 175 each at Rs 32,175 and Rs 31,975 per 10 grams, respectively. The metal had lost Rs 485 in last two sessions. Sovereigns remained steady at Rs 25,500 per piece of eight grams. Silver ready also recovered by Rs 100 to Rs 61,100 per kg while weekly-based delivery shed Rs 55 to Rs 60,900 per kg. The metal had lost Rs 1,100 in last two days.

Gold futures rise on global cues

Gold prices rose by Rs 49 to Rs 31,689 per 10 gm in futures trade today as speculators created fresh positions, taking positive cues from overseas markets. At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in December rose by Rs 49, or 0.15 per cent, to Rs 31,689 per 10 gm, with a business turnover of 403 lots. Similarly, the metal for delivery in February moved up by Rs 53, or 0.17 per cent, to Rs 32,100 per 10 gm, with a business turnover of 36 lots. Marketmen said fresh buying by speculators in tandem with a firm global trend as the weakening dollar boosted appeal for the metal, mainly led to a rise in gold futures. Globally, the gold in Singapore climbed 0.6 per cent to USD 1,723.70 an ounce.

Low risk, high reward: The secret at the world's most expensive bank HDFC !!!

When reports surfaced in July that Deccan Chronicle Holdings Ltd was struggling for survival, several of its creditors were caught off-guard. Not HDFC Bank Ltd Even as Deccan, which also owned a glitzy cricket team, sought to reassure markets that it held enough assets to stave off a crisis, HDFC Bank was busy getting rid of the loans extended to the group, three sources with direct knowledge of the matter said. That agility paid off: Deccan has since lost its cricket franchise and its lenders, including heavyweight ICICI Bank Ltd , Axis Bank Ltd and a dozen others, have been left with bad loans totaling $750 million. "Alertness and the ability to pick early signs of problems have helped," Paresh Sukthankar, executive director at HDFC Bank, told Reuters in an interview, pointing to the bank's low bad loans of 0.9 per cent of its book compared with 4.2 per cent expected for the industry by March.

IMG to meet on Today to decide fate of 14 coal mines....

After recommending deallocation of eight blocks alloted to PSUs, the Inter-Ministerial Group (IMG) is likely to meet on Monday to decide the fate of 14 more mines alloted to public sector firms. "The IMG is likely to meet tomorrow to decide the fate of 14 coal blocks alloted to public sector firms," an official in the coal ministry said. The IMG, early in November, had recommended de-allocation of eight such blocks after scrutiny of 19 cases of public sector firms.The panel, whose earlier recommendation for de-allocation of 13 mines to private firms has already been accepted by the government, had also asked for imposition of bank guarantees in six cases and deduction in two cases. The IMG on October 9 and 10 had examined 33 coal blocks allocated to public sector firms which were issued notices for delay in production. The panel has already concluded the scrutiny of 31 coal blocks allotted to 51 private firms and in October , the government had accepted its recommendations for de-allocation of 13 mines and deduction of bank guarantees of 14 allottees. A total of 58 mines were issued show-cause notices for their failure to develop blocks within stipulated timeline. The government had formed the IMG in July to review progress of coal blocks allocated to firms for captive use. The CAG had estimated that undue benefits to the tune of Rs. 1.86 lakh crore might accrue to private firms on account of allocation of 57 mines to them without auction.

Shiv Sena Supremo Balasaheb Thackeray passes away

Shiv Sena chief Balasaheb Thackeray died on Saturday in Mumbai after prolonged illness.

Oil cos to pay Rs 800 for free LPG connection in Delhi

Petroleum Minister Veerappa Moily today approved raising financial contribution of oil PSUs to the free LPG connection being provided by the Delhi government to poor using kerosene as cooking fuel. Under the scheme to make Delhi kerosene-free city, oil PSUs and Delhi government foot the cost of providing the new LPG connection. The security deposit for new LPG connection was recently increased from Rs 1,400 to Rs 1,600. Following this, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dixit today met Moily with a request that the increased security deposit should be shared on equal basis which would re-start the process of releasing new connections to BPL/Antyodaya families under Kerosene Free Delhi Scheme of the Government of NCT of Delhi. Sources said Moily readily agreed to this and issued orders wherein oil PSUs would provide Rs 800 per connection from their CSR Budget. An equal amount will be provided by the Delhi government. This will help re-start the ambitious scheme under which 3.56 lakh households are to get LPG cylinder and a gas stove free of cost. The scheme was launched with much fanfare in August but soon came to a grinding halt following increase in security deposit for issue of new LPG connection. Oil PSUs and Delhi government were to share the security deposit in 50:50 ratio but the increase in the fee upset this arrangement as state-owned firms had no sanctions to provide more than Rs 700 per connection.

Sensex drops over 150 ; OH NO !!!

Indian stock markets saw a sharp selloff in the last hour of trade on Friday. The Sensex dropped over 150 points while the broader Nifty slipped below the key support of 5,600 in a broad based selloff. At 03.10 p.m. the Sensex traded 157 points lower at 18,314 while the broader Nifty dropped 58 points or 1 per cent to 5,573. Indian markets have fallen for five straight days tracking global weakness and poor domestic macro data. The Winter Session of Parliament, starting next week, may throw up some cues for the markets now.

Sensex falls for 6th day, Nifty below 5600

The BSE Sensex fell for the sixth straight day on the back of a sudden selloff in the last hour of trade on Friday. The Nifty shed over 1 per cent to close below the key support of 5,600. The BSE Sensex ended 162 points lower at 18,309 while the Nifty declined 57 points to 5,574. Indian stock markets have been under pressure tracking weak global cues and poor domestic macro data. Earlier this week, factory output data for September indicated a contraction in industrial activity. The trade deficit in October widened to $21 billion, India's worst on record according to Credit Suisse. The headline inflation eased to an eight-month low in October, but RBI governor today said that inflation rate is still high, suggesting that the bank is unlikely to loosen monetary conditions anytime soon to support faltering growth. The Winter Session of Parliament, starting next week, may throw up some cues for the markets now. A weakness in global markets weighed on the domestic shares. Asian markets mostly ended lower while European stocks also traded in the red.

World Gold demand slips 11% in Q3 !!!

Global gold demand fell in the third quarter as investors bought fewer bars and coins and buyers in China held back because of an economic slowdown, an industry group said on Thursday. About 1,085 metric tons of gold was sold worldwide in the three months through September, the World Gold Council said in a report. That's down 139 metric tons, or 11%, from a record 1,223.5 tons in the same period of 2011. Bar and coin purchases slid by nearly a third to 294 tons while jewelry buying dipped 9% to 449 tons. Central bank purchases also slowed. The declines were offset somewhat by rising demand from exchange traded funds that buy gold bars on behalf of investors. Gold, which has risen about 10 percent in the past six months, was trading at $1,725 an ounce. Gold demand in China, the world's second biggest market, "lost further momentum" in the quarter, with demand falling 8% to 176.8 tons as the country's painful economic slowdown hurt consumer sentiment. "This was particularly noticeable among the middle classes whose purchases of 18-carat gold jewelry were among the worst casualties,'' the report said. A slowdown in the number of jewelry stores opening in China, which also sell bars and coins, also hit demand. But the report forecast that China would recover on hopes of an economic stimulus package from the country's new leaders and as the holiday gift giving season approaches. Companies in China would buy gold jewelry and other luxury items to give as bonuses to staff and as a way to thank customers, said Albert Cheng, a managing director at the World Gold Council. India, the world's biggest gold market, rebounded 8% to 223.1 tons as buying picked up again following strikes by jewelers, fewer auspicious marriage days and a new import duty in the first half of the year. Rising prices also prompted people to buy on expectations of further prices increases, the report said.

Banks seen shrinking for good as lay-offs near 160,000 !!!

Banks seen shrinking for good as lay-offs near 160,000 !!! Major banks have announced some 160,000 job cuts since early last year and with more lay-offs to come as the industry restructures, many will leave the shrinking sector for good as redundancies outpace new hires by roughly two-to-one. A Reuters analysis of job cuts announced by 29 major banks showed the lay-offs were much bigger in Europe than in Asia or the United States. That is a particular blow to Britain where the finance industry makes up roughly 10 percent of the economy. The tally of nearly 160,000 job cut plans, meanwhile, is likely to be a conservative estimate as smaller banks and brokers are also cutting staff or shutting up shop, and bigger banks have not always disclosed target numbers of lay-offs. The tally also does not include reports of 6,000 job cuts to come at Commerzbank, for example, which the German group would not confirm last week. Well-paid investment bankers are bearing the brunt of cost cuts as deals dry up and trading income falls. That is particularly the case in some activities such as stock trading, where low volumes and thin margins are squeezing banks. "When I let go tons of people in cash equities this year, I knew most would be finished in this business. It is pretty dead. Some will just have to find something completely different to do," said one top executive at an international bank in London, on condition of anonymity. The job cuts eat into tax revenues usually reaped from the sector at a time when the global economic recovery is slowing. This year's tax income from the industry in Britain could drop to around 40 billion pounds ($63 billion) this year, compared to 70 billion in 2007/08, when the financial crisis hit, the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) think-tank said this week. The job cuts announced since the beginning of 2011 come on top of job cuts already carried since 2009. Of the 29 banks, from Europe's biggest bank HSBC to US investment bank Morgan Stanley, just over 83,700 net jobs have been lost since 2009, with 167,200 jobs axed and 83,500 created. Squeezed by regulations forcing banks to store up more capital in their trading businesses, firms are likely to shrink their investment banking units even further, as they overhaul their models to survive. "It is structural as well as in response to cycles in the market. The market is still over-broked," said Zaheer Ebrahim at recruiters Kennedy Group. Swiss bank UBS last month outlined a further 10,000 lay-offs after announcing a plan for 3,500 job cuts last year. It said in October it had decided to exit most of its rates and debt trading units. Workers in retail banking operation will not be immune to job cuts either, particularly in slowing European economies. In France for instance, bank executives predict retail revenues will falter. "There are still 300,000 too many full-time employees in the top financial services players in Europe," said Caio Gilberti from the financial services practice of consultancy AlixPartners. Gilberti said cutting those jobs could lop just over 20 billion euros off banks' collective cost base.

Petrol to be cheaper by Rs. 0.95/liter from midnight !!!

In a marginal relief to consumers, petrol prices have been cut by Rs 0.95 per liter with effect from midnight. Petrol prices were last revised on October 27 when they were raised by 29 paisa to Rs 68.19 per liter in Delhi following government raising the commission paid to petrol pump dealers. Petrol will be priced at Rs 67.24 from tomorrow. The government had in June 2010 deregulated petrol prices giving oil companies freedom to fix rates in line with the cost. However, prices have seldom moved in line with cost and oil companies buckled under political pressure to keep rates checked to help the government manage inflation. Last week Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had justified the recent "difficult" decision to hike prices of petroleum products and asked Congress cadres to have confidence in these measures arguing these were necessary. "We have to make all out efforts to change the conditions that affect the rapid growth of the country's economy," he said addressing a dialogue meeting of top Congress leaders.

BP agrees to record criminal penalties for US oil spill

BP Plc will pay USD 4.5 billion in penalties and plead guilty to felony misconduct in the Deepwater Horizon disaster, which caused the worst US offshore oil-spill ever. The settlement includes a USD 1.256-billion criminal fine, the largest such levy in US history, the oil company said on Thursday. US Attorney General Eric Holder called the deal a "critical step forward" but was adamant that it did not end the government's criminal investigation of the spill. The government also indicted the two highest-ranking BP supervisors aboard the Deepwater Horizon during the disaster, charging them with 23 criminal counts including manslaughter. The April 2010 explosion on the rig in the Gulf of Mexico killed 11 workers. The mile-deep (1.6 km) Macondo oil well then spewed 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf over 87 days, fouling shorelines from Texas to Florida and eclipsing in severity the 1989 Exxon-Valdez spill in Alaska. The company said it would plead guilty to 11 felony counts related to the workers' deaths, a felony related to obstruction of Congress and two misdemeanors. It also faces five years' probation and the imposition of two monitors who will oversee its process safety and ethics for the next four years. Wall Street analysts said the deal will allow BP to focus again on oil production, while one US Senator from Louisiana said he hoped the settlement would not prevent his state and others from collecting civil penalties. US-listed BP shares gained about 0.3 percent on Thursday while its London-traded shares were flat. BP, which replaced its chief executive after the spill as its market value plummeted, still faces economic and environmental damage claims sought by four Gulf Coast states and other private plaintiffs. "It certainly is an encouraging step," said Pavel Molchanov, oil company analyst with Raymond James. "By eliminating the overhang of the criminal litigation, it is another step in clearing up BP's legal framework as it relates to Macondo." The disaster has dragged BP from second to a distant fourth in the ranking of top Western oil companies by value.

Sensex up 50 pts......

The 30-share BSE Sensex was completely lacklustre in early trade on Friday amid concerns over weak Eurozone economic activity and US fiscal crisis. The BSE benchmark was up 54.41 points to 18,525.78. Telecom operators Bharti Airtel and Idea Cellular were up over 1 percent, extending gains after 2G spectrum auction. Cigarette major ITC and private oil & gas producer Reliance Industries went up 0.8 percent each. Software services exporter Infosys moved up 0.5 percent while its rival TCS declined 0.3 percent. Capital goods majors Larsen & Toubro and BHEL gained 0.5 percent. HDFC, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Wipro, Dr Reddy's Labs, Tata Power and GAIL were under pressure.

Other beverages stocks like Jayshree Tea and Assam Company gained over 2 percent.

Why Nifty may be under pressure today.....

The US markets recovered from their lows, but still finished in negative territory in a choppy session. With the recent declines, the Dow and S&P 500 are on pace for their biggest monthly losses since May. All three major indices have plunged more than 5% since last week's presidential election. On the economic data front, US eco data weekly jobless claims were up 78,000 to 439,000 during the week ended tenth of November, was way beyond economists' expectations. Consumer price index edged up 0.1% in October following a 0.6% rise in September

Asian Markets retreat on US fiscal cliff fears !!!

Asian stocks mostly fell on Thursday as investors reacted to the prospect of drawn-out negotiations over the looming US "fiscal cliff" by shedding riskier assets, but Japanese equities bucked the trend as a sharp slide in the yen lifted exporters' shares. The retreat from risk also weighed on commodities, with the exception of oil, which jumped in the previous session due to rising tensions in the Middle East after Israel launched an offensive against Palestinian militants in Gaza. "Of course we did just see a sharp sell-off on Wall Street as we approach that fiscal cliff," said Stan Shamu, market analyst at IG Markets in Melbourne. "It just seems that there's not much confidence out there." MSCI's broadest index of Asia Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.9 per cent, with shares in South Korea , Australia and Hong Kong all losing 1 per cent or more. But Tokyo's Nikkei rose 0.9 per cent as the boost given to exporters such as Toyota Motor Corp, Honda Motor Co and Canon Inc. by a slide in the yen the previous day outweighed global concerns.

Pre-market: Nifty seen opening lower on weak global cues

The 50-share Nifty index is expected to open lower on Thursday tracking weak global cues. The markets will also react to inflation numbers which eased marginally in the month of October. Inflation declined marginally to 7.45 per cent in October even though prices of food items like rice, wheat pulses and potato showed a rise, according to data released on Wednesday. At 07:30 a.m., Nifty India stock futures in Singapore were down 47.50 point at 5,657.50, indicating a lower opening on the domestic market. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 185.23 points, or 1.45 per cent, to 12,570.95 at the close. The S&P 500 dropped 19.04 points, or 1.39 per cent, to 1,355.49. The Nasdaq Composite lost 37.08 points, or 1.29 per cent, to 2,846.81.

Nifty near day's low; Bharti, Idea rise post 2G auction

Housing finance company HDFC rose 0.5 percent and FMCG major Hindustan Unilever was up 0.23 percent. Shares of ITC, Infosys, Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, TCS and Tata Motors tanked 1-2 percent. Lenders HDFC Bank and State Bank of India were down 0.6 percent each. The market breadth was negative as about 822 shares advanced while 1596 shares declined on the Bombay Stock Exchange. Among Asian markets, Shanghai, Hang Seng, Straits Times and Kospi fell 0.4-1 percent but Nikkei extended gains to 1.8 percent after Japan's main opposition leader, Shinzo Abe, who is expected to win next month's election, said he wants the Bank of Japan to adopt interest rates of zero or below zero to enhance lending.

Audit warned of low 2G auction rates !!!

The low values in the 2G auction and unclaimed spectrum ought not to be a surprise for the government as an internal assessment had warned that poor market conditions, deficient auction design and policy drift could hurt revenues. The need to freeze policy parameters to assure bidders that goal posts will not be moved while keeping in mind the state of the economy and country ratings was pointed out in the run up to the auction necessitated by Supreme Court scrapping 2G licences. A note submitted to the inter-ministerial committee overseeing the auction process said telecom regulator Trai's recommendation that 1.25Mhz spectrum be allocated to existing licences in the 1800 Mhz (2G) band at auction determined prices will result in these operators k eeping away from the auction. This would depress demand, harm the auction and the government will lose revenue, the note said while succinctly arguing that market conditions have an important bearing on the success or failure of competitive bidding. Under pressure from the SC to move ahead with auctions cancelled in the wake of former telecom minister A Raja and promoters and senior executive of telecom firms being jailed on alleged corruption charges, the government might have ignored the red flags. Hauled over the coals for the 2G scam, the government perhaps developed cold feet in informing the apex court that the timing of the auction was not propitious given a gloomy economic scenario at home and abroad, feel sources familiar with the developments. Sources said the auction has been hit by older telecom players not needing spectrum while cash-strapped newer entrants, scalded by the scam, participating largely in the hope of the Rs 1,658 crore they paid for cancelled 2G licences being adjusted against a winning bid.

FM to meet heads of PSU banks today.....

Finance Minister P Chidambaram will meet heads of public sector banks tomorrow and review financial performance and credit flow to productive sectors in the light of subdued economic activity, among other issues. The broad agenda of the meeting include review of first half numbers, deteriorating asset quality, credit growth, official sources said. Non-performing assets of the banks have been on the rise for past several months due to slowdown in economy. The Gross NPAs of some public sector banks, including State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank and Central Bank of India, have crossed 4 percent of total assets at the end of September, 2012. The meeting will also dwell upon steps to increase credit flow to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), farm sector, infrastructure and housing sector, they added. The high-profile meeting will be held in the backdrop of the half-yearly review of monetary policy by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) wherein central bank left benchmark interest rate unchanged on concern of inflation. However, it reduced cash reserve ratio by 0.25 percent to infuse additional liquidity of around Rs 17,500 crore into the financial system. Accordingly, the CRR, or the portion of deposits banks have to park with the RBI, now stands at 4.25 percent, while the repo rate, at which RBI lends to the system, has been retained at 8 percent. The reverse repo, at which RBI absorbs excess liquidity through borrowings from banks, remains at 7 percent. Following the monetary action by RBI on October 30, many banks ruled out rate correction immediately.

Bull mkt on; see strong reformist govt in '14: Jhunjhunwala

The market is gradually revving up for a bull run that could take off in about 14-15 months time, feels Big Bull Rakesh Jhunjhunwala. He is betting on inflation, and commodity and interest rates to ease hereon. And contrary to popular opinion, Jhunjhunwala expects the 2014 general elections to throw up a strong reformist government. "We will get a far better government in 2014 or whenever the elections are held, than what people are anticipating," he said in an interview with CNBC-TV18. "Whichever government comes in, will have to take right decisions even if it is fragmented. I feel we will get BJP-led government and if Mr Modi is made the Prime Minister, I am told he is going to be BJP's prime ministerial candidate, we can have some good work very soon," he said. On the stocks in his portfolio, Jhunjhunwala is bullish on the long term prospects of Lupin , Praj Industries and Nagarjuna Constructions. And while there have a few disappointments like A2Z and Hindustan Oil Exploration, Jhunjhunwala says he has no regrets since the outperformers have more than made up for the laggards.

Oct Inflation falls to 7.45%, slowest in 8 months.....

Government data showed on Wednesday. India's wholesale price index (WPI) rose a slower-than-expected 7.45 percent in October from a year earlier.Analysts on average had expected an annual WPI rise of 7.96 percent. The annual reading for August was revised up to 8.01 percent.

India set to allow cheaper wines, cars from Europe !!!

Now one can hope to drive in the latest Audi or BMW at a considerably lower price as the government may lower the import duty to 30% in 2017 and scale it down further to 20% in 2020 as part of the Broad-based Trade & Investment Agreement (BTIA) with the 27 nation bloc. Similarly, customs duty on "high-end" wine is proposed to be slashed to 30% from near 150% levels now. Although the move may not be palatable to local players, for consumers, this could mean an endless party as anything that costs over $3.75 a bottle is likely to be subjected to lower import duty. The steep reduction will make life difficult life for local players, especially at a time when home-grown barons such as Vijay Mallya too have been forced to sell stakes to global giants. In case of automobiles, when to reduce import duty to 30% is a bone of contention. EU is demanding that the levy be slashed to that level in 2017 itself, while Indian negotiators had got the Trade & Economic Relations Committee headed by the prime minister to agree to the cut sometime around 2022. The current tariff for import of automobiles is 100%, although the notified rate, which is applied to new cars, is 60%.

Rupee falls to 2-month low, erases post-reform gains !!!

The rupee fell to its lowest in early two months after data showing a record trade deficit and a contraction in factory output stoked fears about economic growth at a time of continued high inflation. The rupee's fall to as low as 55.12 to the dollar has erased a rally sparked by the government's announcements of a slew of fiscal and economic reforms in mid-September that took the local currency to as high as 51.32 to a dollar on Oct 5. However, the rupee has steadily slipped since that peak, as investors resumed their focus on an economy set to grow at its slowest pace in a decade and on little prospects of immediate rate cuts as Reserve Bank of India retains its focus on inflation. The trade deficit "is negative on the rupee. The uptrend in headline WPI into 8 per cent has come into radar now. The rupee will need strong support from the euro to prevent extended weakness beyond 55.10," said Moses Harding, head of asset liability management at IndusInd Bank.

Investors awaited for September industrial output data that may come in higher at more than 3% led by stronger core sector growth, according to CNBC-TV18 poll.

United Spirits shares jump on Diageo deal !!!

On Monday, shares of United Spirits Ltd. jumped as much as 21% to a 2-year high after several brokerages upgraded the stock, saying the Indian liquor company sold a stake to Diageo at a higher than expected price. Morgan Stanley raised its rating on United Spirits to 'overweight' from 'equal-weight', saying the $2.1 billion deal priced the company "significantly higher" than its base case value. "USL is now a stock for every portfolio, we believe," Morgan Stanley analysts wrote in a note on Monday, while also raising its price target to 1,905 rupees from 1,000 rupees. Diageo agreed on Friday to buy a 53.4 percent stake in the liquor maker controlled by Indian businessman Vijay Mallya by first acquiring 27.4 % from its founders at 1,440 rupees per share, and then launching a mandatory offer for the remainder. United Spirits shares were up 20.6 percent at 1,640.70 rupees as of 0503 GMT, after rising to as much as 1,646.00 rupees, their highest since October 7, 2010. CLSA raised its rating to 'buy', while setting a new target price at 1,800 rupees, saying the deal would benefit United Spirits by reducing debt levels, increasing earnings, imposing financial discipline and providing operational advantages. "We see this deal as a game changer for UNSP," CLSA said in an email to clients.

Re 1 a litre cut in petrol price likely soon

Petrol price may be cut by as much as Re 1 per litre over the next few days when state-owned oil firms review rates. Petrol prices were last revised on October 27 when they were raised by 29 paise to Rs 68.19 per litre in Delhi following government raising the commission paid to petrol pump dealers. "There has been some reduction in gasoline rates (against which the domestic price of petrol is benchmarked against) giving us some margins (on petrol). But they have moved up again in the last few days. "Also, rupee has appreciated against the US dollar ... we have to take a view (on prices) keeping all these factors in mind," said R S Butola, Chairman of Indian Oil Corp , the nation's largest fuel retailer. The oil companies were making a margin of close to Rs 2 per litre, but considering the impact of rise in gasoline rate and appreciation in rupee, the net available margin may be just around Re 1 per litre. "We will review (prices) in next few days ... may be at the end of the week or early next week," Butola said. The government had in June 2010 deregulated petrol prices giving oil companies freedom to fix rates in line with the cost. However, prices have seldom moved in line with cost and oil companies buckled under political pressure to keep rates checked to help the government manage inflation. Butola said IOC lost Rs 1,167 crore on selling petrol below cost during the first six months of current fiscal. And since the product is deregulated, there will be no subsidy support from the budget to cover these losses. Hindustan Petroleum Corp Director (Finance) B Mukherjee said, "We are making profit on petrol like any other free product." Refusing to divulge the margin on petrol, Mukherjee said in April-September the company had lost Rs 678 crore on selling petrol below its cost. Oil companies have abandoned the practice of revising petrol rates on 1st and 16th of every month by taking the fortnightly average of benchmark gasoline and rupee-USD rate. "We have updated our system to practically do a daily change in prices but as you know there is lot of volatility in international oil prices as well as rupee-USD forex rates," Butola said.

Gold may trade in range of 31,200-31,500:

Outlook on bullions, base metals and energy segments: Bullions: Bullion counter may remain sideways with upside bias on safe haven demand. Euro zone concerns are expected to keep upside capped.

Some fresh safe-haven demand is surfacing this week, amid concerns about the approaching U.S. fiscal cliff and about the European Union sovereign debt crisis. The fresh safe-haven demand in the gold market Thursday was further evidenced by very strong demand at a U.S. government treasury note auction at midday. Base metals: Base metals counter may remain on mixed path as some short covering can be seen after recent fall.

Copper edged higher on Thursday in cautious trade ahead of a leadership transition in top metals consumer China, which may result in fresh economic stimulus measures, while concerns about weak demand and the U.S. economy capped the upside.

Energy: Crude oil can trade in range of 4,550-4,650 in near term. Crude oil ended higher on Thursday, recovering from a steep plunge in the previous session, but gains were only modest as trepidation over Europe`s economy and looming negotiations over the U.S. fiscal cliff weighed on the market. After U.S. President Barack Obama won a second term on Tuesday, anticipation is high that Democrats and Republicans will move quickly to avert the $600 billion package of automatic spending cuts and tax increases that could crush the U.S. economic recovery.Natural gas may remain on volatile note in range of 193-198 in MCX.

Vijay Mallya led United Breweries Q2 profit at Rs 34.2 cr !!!

United Breweries Ltd on Friday posted a net profit of Rs 34.2 crore for the second quarter ended September 30, as against Rs 19.5 crore in the year-ago period. The revenue of the company, part of Vijay Mallya-led UB Group, also rose to Rs 875 crore in the same period. The company had recored revenue of Rs 750 crore in the second quarter of the previous fiscal. On quarter-on-quarter basis, the net profit, however, fell sharply from Rs 98.64 crore in the first quarter of current fiscal, while revenue also declined from Rs 1,226 crore in the three-month period ended June 30. The company said its results are not comparable on year- on-year basis as a number of entities have been amalgamated with United Breweries during the past financial year. Still, a good set of results by the company, whose group firm Kingfisher is facing severe financial crisis and another group entity United Spirits is reportedly in talks for stake sale to global liquor major Diageo, helped United Breweries' share price soar to its record high of Rs 820 this morning.
