*Indian market**(Nifty Fut/India-50)* today closed around 10036, edged
up by almost 19 points (+0.19%) after making an opening session high of
10048 and late day low of 10012. Indian market today opened around
10029, marginally up amid mixed global cues on renewed NK missile
tensions and Catalonia’s independence referendum issues and basically
consolidated ahead of key earnings for Q2FY18 and some macro data
(IIP/CPI) to be released this week.
The result season started today with muted numbers from South Indian
Bank, posting almost 96% fall in its Q2 PAT on account of exceptional
higher provisions; but still, at a glance the result may be very muted
on account of higher NPA and this may have affected the overall market
sentiment to some extent on apprehension of another subdued earning
season after Q1; market may be now expecting an average 8% growth in
Nifty EPS for Q2 (YOY) amid DeMo & GST disruptions.
Although, NK has not tested any ICBM so far on its party foundation day
today, it “informed” Russia that they have an ICBM of 3000 km range,
which can be easily modified / modernized to reach the US territory.
This news has caused some risk off mode in the global market and Nifty
also succumbed for the day low.
Today Nifty was supported by RIL (GRM/earnings optimism/BP capex), Infy
(record date announcement for buy back), HDFC Bank, Axis Bank (block
deal), UPL, Indusind Bank (earnings optimism), Power Grid (analyst
upgrade), Bharti Airtel (International roaming charges rationalization &
5G launching preparation), Adani Ports & Lupin (new product approval &
launches by US FDA) by altogether around 46 points.
Nifty was dragged by IOC (stake sale by ONGC to partly fund its HPCL
acquisition), ITC, ICICI Bank, VEDL, Eicher Motors, HUL, Tata Motors,
HPCL, Tata Steel by around 30 points cumulatively.
Overall, Indian market today was helped by pharma/healthcare, IT/Techs,
automobiles, metals, energy, selected private banks, fertilizers, sugar
stocks (festival season) & infra, while dragged by FMCG.
*Globally*
<https://www.iforex.in/news/asian-stocks-are-green-catch-trade-amid-muted-global-cues-renewed-geo-political-concerns-43071>,
most of the major *Asia-Pacific markets *were in green today in a catch
up trade as Japan & SK has joined the global rally from holiday
yesterday/last week. But overall “risk-on” trade sentiment may be
subdued amid *muted global cues* on renewed geo-political tensions
involving NK & Catalan separation issues.
Although, there are no visible signs of any NK ICBM test preparation
till now, market may be apprehending some “big fire crackers” (ICBM) on
NK’s party foundation day today till China’s party conference on 18^th
Oct amid escalating rhetoric between NK & US. Russia & China both called
for restraint on the part of US amid Trump’s weekend tweet that “only
one thing will work”. But, US defence sec has also acknowledged that
attacking NK will be a grave risk and not so simple.
Catalan leaders are set to declare an “independence” from Spain today
despite some indirect offers for peace talk by the Catalan authorities
amid anti-separation movement and threat of legal, economical & military
action by the Spanish Govt to keep Spain as united.
As overall Catalan referendum turnover was around 43% without
participation from other areas of Spain, the bloody referendum may be
treated as void & nil in the eyes of Spanish constitutional law and
business leaders of Catalonia are also pressurizing the autonomous Govt
to withdraw the separation movement immediately in a clear language.
Although Catalonian separation movement is still simmering, it seems
that those referendum leaders are slowly backtracking and thus there is
no real danger of any separation immediately. But the overall
reconciliation process between Catalonia & Spanish Govt may take
significant time and thus there may be a certain elements of political
uncertainty.
*Overnight US market*edged down in a holiday thinned trade on lack of
any real triggers. *USDJPY* was also flat tracking renewed NK
sabre-rattling, hurricane distorted NFP repot, doubt about passage of
Trump’s tax reform bill amid “war of words” between him & another key
senator and concerns about consumer spending & inflation ahead of key US
retail sales & CPI data this week.
DJ-30 closed marginally lower (-13 points) at around 22761 (-0.06%),
while S&P-500 slipped around 5 points (-0.2%) to close at 2545 and
NQ-100 lost around 10 points to close at 6580 (-0.2%); all the US
indices were off their respective life time highs made during the day in
early trading.
Almost six out of eleven sectors in the S&P were in red, but
pharma/healthcare stocks have dragged the US market most yesterday on
concern of Amazon disruptions amid buzz of an imminent entry into the
sector. GE also dragged the market following several high profile exits
under the new CEO, who is also under tremendous pressure from some
activist investor to reboot the co.
But techs, energy related stocks and Wall Mart (speedier product return
process) has supported the market to some extent yesterday. *US stock
future (SPX-500)* is now trading around 2545, almost unchanged before EU
market opening.
Overall, US market may be cautious ahead of Q3 earnings, which is
projected to grow around 3-5%, down from double digit growths in the
last two quarters. Although, valuation may be on the higher side at TTM
PE of above 25 for S&P-500, market is expecting that a relatively low US
interest rate, Trump’s corporate tax rate cut benefits (retroactive from
Jan’17?), an weaker USD coupled with higher commodity/energy/oil prices
may support the Q3 earnings and justify the stretched valuations.
*EURUSD*is now trading around 1.1775, up by 0.28% on Catalonian peace
talks, buzz of a German coalition Govt under Merkel by next week, upbeat
German IIP data and some hawkish scripts by ECB’s Lautenschlaeger
yesterday signaling for a gradual ECB QE tapering from Jan’18 &
subsequent monetary policy normalization. A strong EUR/EU bund yields
may not be good for the EU & the global stock market.
Elsewhere, *Australian market (ASX-200)* closed around 5738, almost
unchanged on *higher AUDUSD*, negative for export heavy AU economy &
stock market. Today, AU market was dragged by energies, techs, telecom,
roller coaster movements in banks & financials while supported by basic
resource materials, mixed miners & metals and some pharma stocks. Fall
in iron ore and some metals may have also affected the overall market
sentiment today.
*AUDUSD *is now trading around 0.77800, up by almost 0.30% on better
than expected NAB business confidence data for Sep coupled with marginal
improvement in consumer confidence.
*Japan (Nikkei-225)*closed around 20824, up by almost 0.64% in a catch
up trade after yesterday’s holiday; reversing earlier loses tracking a
lower USD today. JP stocks were today helped by banks & financials,
insurance, non-metal minerals, mixed automakers / exporters / techs,
while dragged by energies & steel makers (Kobe auto steel quality
related scandal).
Overall, JP market sentiment was today boosted by better than expected
current A/C surplus for Aug (positive for *Yen*). But Kuroda’s usual
dovish jawboning was ineffective today as it was nothing new, advocating
to keep the YCC near 0%, irrespective of the QQE as long as the elusive
2% CPI goal is not reached.
*BOJ’s Kuroda*today also commented that Japan’s economy is expanding
moderately and is also expected to expand moderately in the days ahead.
BOJ will maintain QQE with YCC as long as needed to achieve 2% CPI
target in a stable manner with necessary monetary policy adjustments.
*China (SSE)*closed around 3383, up by almost 0.26%, but well off the
low around 3359 made earlier in the session. There was some report that
ahead of party congress, China’s security regulator wants stability in
the stock market after a significant rally. Chinese state run
banks/funds has sold some blue chip cos yesterday in a bid to control
the run-a-way market; previously they have given support to the market
after S&P downgrade.
But upbeat projection of 2017 GDP by China officials as a result of some
modification in calculation methodology may have also limit any damage
to the China market today. PBOC today fixed mid-point of *USDCNY* at
6.6273 vs 6.6493, a little lower with neutral OMO. Yuan stability is
vital for FPIS in China.
*Hong-Kong**(HKG-33)* stock future is now trading around 28460, up by
0.50% and is basically affecting the regional market sentiment today in
a volatile day of trading, swung between gains & loses, supported by
techs/internet stocks (Tencent & Apple related stocks), while dragged by
China based banks & financials and insurance cos. Overall, tepid China
golden holiday spending may be also affecting the market sentiment for
both HK & mainland China ahead of key policy speeches by the HK CEO on
day after tomorrow.
Meanwhile, *Crude Oil (WTI)* is now trading around 49.75, up by almost
0.35% on overnight OPEC jawboning that “more need to be done to tackle
the oversupply in the global oil market”. OPEC-NOPEC will meet on 30^th
Nov and they may extend the production cut agreement beyond March’18
with deeper cut, if necessary (with more members). Technically, 49.00 is
a good support for the WTI now.
*Gold*is also up by around 0.45%, now almost at 1290 on renewed safe
haven demands amid NK missile tensions & Trump’s rhetoric; technically
it will gain more momentum above 1290 zone for 1320-1360 and 1260 is now
a good support for the yellow metal.
*EU Stock Slips
<https://www.iforex.in/news/eu-stocks-edged-down-higher-eur-lingering-concern-about-catalan-independence-43115>On
Higher EUR & Lingering Concern About Catalan Independence *
*EU market *today slips marginally lower in *Stoxx-600*, almost down by
0.12% on higher EUR and lingering concern about Catalan “independence”
declaration; *DAX-30* is down by almost 0.45%, *CAC-40* edged down by
around 0.20%, while *FTSE-100* is up by 0.24% and *IBEX-35* plunged by
almost 1.15%.
Overall, EU market today was dragged by utilities, health care, while
supported by consumer goods & services related stocks. IBEX-35 (Spain)
slumped today after news that *Catalan* Prez is scheduled to hold a
“historic” presser shortly; it’s also being dragged by Catalonia based
banks & financials on political uncertainty like Brexit.
After all, Catalonia is an important part of Spanish economy
contributing significantly to the overall economic activity/GDP of
Spain; thus market can’t ignore this issue as a mere “local” event as
such ant-establishment movement can spread to other EU areas also.
After yesterday’s hawkish jawboning by ECB, EUR got further boost today
on upbeat German trade data and a strong EUR is not good for the export
heavy EU market.
*UK market*(FTSE-100) has gained today on strength of miners after an
upbeat IIP data coupled with a weak dollar, favourable for metals
(Gold/Copper). Although, GBPUSD gained today, it has not affected export
heavy FTSE-100 in a big way. UK market today was also supported by banks
& financials on rate hike optimism and consumer goods related stocks.
BAE lost 0.2% on news of layoffs for around 2000 UK jobs as a plan of
its cost cutting measures to combat recession like situation in the UK
defence sector and also to certain other elite customers (countries like
Qatar/Saudi Arabia).
