Nifty Fut (May) closed around 9456, up by almost 41 points after making
a day high of 9458 & low of 9437 in an extremely choppy day of trading.
Indian market (NF) made a gap up opening of around 35 points itself on
the back of mixed global cues & lower CPI/WPI data released on Friday
after market hours.
CPI came at 2.99% for April, thus triggering another RBI rate cut hopes
in its forthcoming monetary policy meeting on June’17; although core
inflation continues to be sticky at 4.55% against 4.9% in March. The
domestic market sentiment was further boosted today as SW monsoon hits
Andaman Islands 3 days in advance, which also triggered a possibility of
an early monsoon in Kerala & all over India subsequently. IMD experts
are very optimistic about probability of a more than normal monsoon
(100-106% of LPA) this year on the back of weakening El-Nino &
strengthening IOD effect contrary to the perception of the Skymet, which
is projecting just normal monsoon (96% of LPA).
Although, CPI dips below 3% in April on the back of fall in food prices
& oil, this trend may be seasonal and looking ahead one can expect some
surge in food inflation amid production & supply constraint. Oil is also
expected to go higher amid increasing buzz about extension of OPEC cut
agreement for another 9 months or till CY-2017. Thus, going forward, RBI
may also take a “wait & watch” policy for actual monsoon, its
distribution & timing and the overall effect on the inflation &
production of Rabi/Kharif corps. RBI may also watch effect of GST &
7-CPC arrears on the inflation trajectory and thus it may be on the
“neutral” stance at least till H2FY-18. Apart from the inflation & real
rate of interest angle, RBI may also find it tough to cut repo rate
further as the Indian economy is growing around 7-7.5% and an economy,
which is growing so fast, may not need incremental rate cuts from its
central bank.
Also, USDINR interest & bond yield differential may be another criteria
for RBI to be on hold in the coming days and stability of INR may also
be vital for a vibrant Indian bond market offering better bond yields to
the yield hungry investors (FPIS).
Above all, there may not be a scope for further rate cut transmissions
for the banks to lower their MCLR & base lending rate significantly
(even if RBI cuts in the months ahead), until small savings interest
rate in India is cut aggressively by the Govt, which is quite tough
because of political compulsion at this point of time. Going ahead, RBI
may focus more on NPA resolution rather than rate cuts, as demand for
fresh credits is very subdued and moreover, it’s very tough to find
quality borrowers now.
Indian market today was supported significantly by metals (Tata Steel,
Hindalco) for better Q4 report card prospect on the back of higher metal
prices & demands, although there may be some concerns of incremental RM
prices (cocking coal & iron ore). Also, Govt’s recent protectionist
steps of imposing ASD for another 5 years helped a lot for the sector.
PSBS (SBI, BOB) were also under demand today ahead of SBI result and
some repots that RBI may soon unveil some more NPA resolution policy
after its meeting with the FM & other PMO officials on last Friday.
But, Yes bank was under further pressure today along with Axis Bank for
the reported NPA divergence with RBI audit. This NPA divergence figure
may be reconciled and re-stated in the next QTR, but it also raised some
concern and issues of accounting credibility of the Indian
corporates/some private banks. Going forward, due to implementation of
new INS-AS accounting system, Indian banks may be compelled to report
more provisions (loss) for the NPL issues (from FY:18-19).
IT scrips were under pressure today as USDINR lost some ground and
telecom scrips were also under great pressure after Idea reported a very
subdued numbers; although better than analyst’s estimates.
After market hours today, India flashed its trade balance data for
April, which may be subdued at a glance (-13.25B; estimate: -9.90B;
prior: -10.44B; YOY: -4.8B). Exports came at 24.64B (prior: 29.23B) and
imports at 37.88B (prior: 39.67B). Although, exports grew slowly
sequentially/last two months, it’s up by almost 20% (YOY) due to higher
shipments of ready-made garments, engineering goods & petroleum
products. Imports also grew by almost 49% on YOY basis on the back of
higher imports of gold & oil products. Imports of gold has now
accelerated after some drops in DeMo period.
Looking ahead, along with NK related geo-political tensions, one may
also closely watch the ongoing Ind-Pak virtual war at LOC, which may
turn serious at any points of time due to increasing domestic
compulsions from both the sides.
USD was under pressure today early in the Asian & EU session following
another NK missile (ICBM?) test. In the weekend, NK again tested a long
range ballistic missile, which is being suspected as a type of ICBM,
capable of hitting the US coast. Although the market is calm so far, we
need to watch Trump’s reaction later in the day for any sudden “surgical
strike” on NK by US in the coming days. Due to this NK missile game,
USDJPY is losing ground and there are some concerns on “risk on” trade
later in the day today. Smart money is again flowing to the safety of US
TSY bonds and other safe heaven assets like Yen & Gold.
The ongoing cyber attack & its implications all over the globe & also on
India may also need to be watched for any serious disruptions and
further “risk off” trade.
Also, surge in Oil today may have dampened the USD strength after OPEC &
Non-OPEC (Russia) has agreed for an extension of the ongoing production
cut agreement for another 9 months (till CY-17 or March’18). Also there
were some reports that China may import more US oil. Going forward,
after the initial euphoria, Oil may be driven more by actual demand
supply dynamics and not by OPEC/Russia jawboning. Friday’s surprise US
inventory drawdown may be more seasonal (summer holiday driving) than
permanent; also today’s tepid China IIP data may be an indication of
subdued growth of around 6% GDP in the coming months and in that
scenario, it may not pose well for the oil.
*Looking forward, Crude Oil (LTP: 49.25) has to sustain above
49.75-50.25 barrier for further rally towards 53.75-55.35 & 56.75 zone
in the coming days; otherwise it may come down again.*
