INDIA MINISTRY SAYS WORST IS OVER, PROJECTS 6% GROWTH India's economy is now safely on course to achieve at least 6% growth in the current fiscal year ending next March, the Finance Ministry said. "I am sure we have had the worst and we are going to be definitely 6% growth. But we need to spend the money to generate the growth," said Minister of State (Revenue) Jesudasu Seelam.
GOVT RELAXES FDI NORMS IN 13 SECTORS
In a bid to stem the rapidly widening current account deficit, the government today allowed 100% FDI in the telecom sector hiking it from the existing 74% while permitting more foreign money into the defense sector albeit with caveats. The Centre agreed to the recommendations of the Mayaram Committee and cleared 13 sectors out of 20 for a raise in FDI cap. There has been no hike in FDI cap in aviation. The FDI in four areas -- gas refineries, commodity exchanges, power trading and stock exchanges -- will be through FIPB route.
JUNE WPI INFLATION RISES TO 4.86%; DENTS RATECUT HOPES WPI inflation rose marginally for the 1st time in 5 months in June due to higher food prices, adding to eco challenges & reducing rate cut hopes. The Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation for the month of June came in better than expected at 4.86 percent. Core inflation came in at 2 percent. Although the numbers brought about some cheer in the market after weak IIP and auto sales numbers, the growth in food inflation number was a dampener.

G-20 LEADERS FOCUS ON SAFETY NETS FOR FINANCIAL SYSTEM Leaders of the Group of 20 nations are meeting Friday and Saturday in Moscow to consider ways to increase safety of the financial system amid a U.S. move toward easing monetary stimulus. Finance ministers and central bankers are also expected to discuss financial regulation, long-term investment financing, tax avoidance and concerns related to the International Monetary Fund.
DETROIT, LARGEST U.S. CITY TO FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY Decades of decline and mismanagement render the home of the U.S. auto industry insolvent. Crime is rampant, and the city literally cannot afford to keep the lights on-a whopping 40% of streetlights are out. Michigan governor Rick Snyder said there was no other option & it was a difficult step, but the only viable option to address a problem that has been six decades in the making. Detroit has seen its population shrink by more than half, from 1.8 mn people in 1950 to 700,000 today.
CHINA TELLS GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO RAMP UP SPENDING The Chinese Ministry of Finance ordered government agencies at all levels to accelerate spending to stimulate domestic demand and stabilize economic growth. The ministry said it wants a "relatively big" reduction in budgeted funds left unspent at the end of this fiscal year compared with last year's figure. At the end of May, the ministry had 3.23 trillion Yuan sitting unused in the central bank.

RUPEE DEFENCE DRIVES UP GOVERNMENT BORROWING COSTS The rupee rebounded in late trade on Friday boosted by dollar selling by state-run banks, likely on behalf of the Reserve Bank of India, which helped the local unit snap a nine-week losing streak. The rupee gained 1.1 percent on the week on the back of intermittent dollar selling by the central bank through the week and dovish comments from the Federal Reserve chief on monetary stimulus on Wednesday.
ECONOMICS ECB ADJUSTS COLLATERAL RULES TO SUPPORT
ABS The European Central Bank has revised rules for collateral to help banks use asset-backed securities as collateral for ECB credit. The change is expected to be offset by tightened rules for covered bonds. "These measures taken together have an overall neutral effect on the amount of collateral available," according to the ECB.
JAPAN'S ABE SEEKS SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONES TO BOOST GROWTH A key element of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's plan to revitalize the economy is the creation of special economic zones, where he hopes tax incentives and regulatory flexibility would encourage innovation and investment. The idea has a lot in common with one being tried in China. Premier Li Keqiang had to overcome internal opposition to establish a free trade zone in Shanghai.
END OF QE LOOMS ON SIGNALS FROM UK AND US The end of quantitative easing in the Western world loomed closer after both the UK and the US signaled a potential retreat from the controversial crisis policy. In the UK, Bank of England rate-setters voted unanimously to leave QE unchanged at £375bn for the first time since October last year and, in the US, Federal reserve chairman Ben Bernanke again hinted that money printing would be slowed later this year if the economy remains strong.

Last week the stock touched 1402 and bounced back again. Since the stock closed below 200-Day Moving Average of 1499.74 and we reaffirm our belief that there is more weakness in the sector and would recommend a sell target of 1390 - 1410 for the coming week but it could touch its support level of 1359, If Nifty breaks the lower range of 5967 possible within 2-3 trading days.
The stock has bounced back from its low and is trading above its 10 day moving average of 52. The stock is moving in range and with good monsoon this year the positive rally will continue even though long term trend is downward.
The stock has struck in very short range between 44 and 45.3. It could go both ways either up or down. The Bank Nifty underperformed the benchmark Nifty for the past whole week. And Nifty is also struck in a very short range between 6069 and 5967, any major break of resistance level will be shown across the sectors. So we would wait till market breaks this resistance, advisable to enter the markets with bias on downward side. So a buy would initiate at above 45.3 and a short would initiate below 43.7.

BHEL is one of the weakest stock on NIFTY now, with a 9% fall coming in just one session. The capital goods space has been affected the most by the slowdown in the economy.
