OPEN INTEREST INDEX F&O AND CASH SEGMENT ACTIVITY

NSE - WEEKLY NEWS LETTERS ✍ TOP NEWS OF THE WEEK Arun Jaitley indicates scope for rationalisation of rates under GST - Finance minister Arun Jaitley on Wednesday said there is scope to rationalise goods and services tax and rolling 12 per cent and 18 per cent slabs into one as implementation of the country’s most comprehensive indirect tax reforms progresses. I do concede that as it moves forward, there will be scope for rationalising the rates. There, probably, will be scope that the two standard rates of 12% and 18 per cent, after some time, could be clubbed into one. That is a fair possibility and a suggestion,” Jaitley said replying to debate on the two bills related to GST in J&K. Central Goods and Services Tax (Extension to Jammu and Kashmir) Bill, 2017 and the Integrated Goods and Services Tax (Extension to Jammu and Kashmir) Bill, 2017 were later passed by a voice vote.

The current GST has 5 per cent, 12 per cent, 18 per cent and 28 per cent rates, plus one for luxury and sin goods. There are some that are zero rated, or nil rate.

PSU banks need Rs. 1.9 lakh crore capital by March 2019: S&P - PSU banks will need at least Rs. 1.9 lakh crore additional capital by March 2019 as the lack of it will restrict their ability to write down Non-Performing loans, S&P Global Ratings said. "We estimate that Indian banks may need a minimum of about $ 29.6 billion or Rs. 1.9 trillion over the next two years," S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Geeta Chugh said. Public sector banks will need substantial capital to make large haircuts on loans to unviable stressed projects and to meet rising Basel III requirements, S&P said. "The lack of capital restricts the ability of India's public sector banks to write down non-performing loans to more accurate levels. Weak profitability and rising capital demands from Basel III implementation will also continue to pressure the capitalisation of many of these banks. The US-based agency said PSU banks will have to look for alternate sources to increase their capitalisation.

India's public sector banks face three key challenges in tapping equity capital markets: low equity valuations, overcrowding in the market, and regulations. At the same time, they may find it hard to raise money via the issuance of additional Tier-1 capital instruments because the risk of default on these instruments is rising," S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Deepali SethChhabria said.

India must guard against external financing vulnerability: IMF - India needs to remain vigilant as greater reliance on debt financing and portfolio inflows could create significant

external financing vulnerabilities, a recent IMF report has said. The The International Monetary Fund in its report titled 'The 2017 External Sector Report' further said other risks to the Indian economy stem from global financial volatility and 'longer-than-expected cash normalization' following the currency exchange initiative. "Like other EMs, too great a reliance on debt financing and portfolio inflows would create significant external financing vulnerabilities.

Therefore, there is need to remain vigilant to safeguard the Indian economy. India's economic risks stem from intensified global financial volatility including from a faster-than-anticipated normalization of monetary policy in key advanced economies, longer-than-expected cash normalization following the currency exchange initiative, as well as slower global growth," the report noted.

RBI says that there are uncertainties around its inflation trajectory - The Reserve Bank of India continues to express its concerns over the inflation outlook, even as it has eased key policy rates implying that it is comfortable with the inflation levels . The second bi-monthly statement projected quarterly average headline inflation in the range of 2.0-3.5 per cent in the first half of the year and 3.5-4.5 per cent in the second half. The actual outcome for Q1 has tracked projections. "But looking ahead, as base effects fade, the evolving momentum of inflation would be determined by the impact on the CPI of the implementation of house rent allowances under the 7th central pay commission, the impact of the price revisions withheld ahead of the GST- goods and services tax,� RBI said in its policy statement. Besides, how structural and transitory factors shaping food inflation play out will also determine the future inflation trajectory it said.

RBI rate cut important step for sustained growth: Finance Ministry - The finance ministry today said the RBI's decision to cut key policy rate by 0.25 per cent is an important step to achieve sustained growth consistent with moderate inflation and India's potential. The Reserve Bank, in its third bi-monthly monetary policy of the fiscal, today reduced the repo rate after a gap of almost 10 months. The new repo rate at 6 per cent is the lowest in six- and-a-half years. The last rate cut was effected in October 2016. RBI Governor Urjit Patel said the central bank has maintained the economic growth projection at 7.3 per cent for the current fiscal. Commenting on the central bank's decision, Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg said the government welcomes the repo rate cut. The government has taken note of the statement of the Monetary Policy Committee and its assessment of the inflation and growth outlook, he added.

Fiscal deficit at Rs 4.42 trillion, hits 80.8% target of FY18 - India’s fiscal deficit reached Rs 4.42 trillion or around USD 68.88 billion during the first quarter ended June of the current fiscal year 2017-18 or 80.8% of the budgeted target for the current fiscal year 2018, according to government data released on Monday. The fiscal deficit stood 61.1% of the full-year target during the same period last fiscal year. According to the data, the net tax receipts during April-June

period of the fiscal year 2017-18 were Rs 1.77 trillion around USD 27.59 billion. India aims to bring down its federal fiscal deficit to 3.2% of gross domestic product in 2017-18 compared with 3.5% in the previous year.

India’s GDP growth to remain in 6.5- 7.5% range: Moody’s - GDP growth rate of India will remain in the range of 6.5-7.5% over the next 12-18 months and GST will support the momentum for faster growth, reported a study conducted by a leading research agency, Moody’s. More than 75% respondent out of 200 market participants responded in the favour that exposure to large corporates in power, steel and infrastructure sectors poses as the greatest risk to banks’ asset quality in India. According to the US-based agency estimates, the economy will grow 7.5 per cent in 2016-17 and 7.7 per cent in 2017-18. While it forecasted that the economic growth will gradually increase to around 8% over the next 3-4 years. India is likely to grow faster over the next 12-18 months despite a short-term drag caused by demonetisation and the asset quality risks for banks and credit growth will remain subdued, said the report.

✍ TOP ECONOMY NEWS

India’s services activity plunged to a four-year low in July because of the disruption caused by the goods and services tax, a private survey showed, but industry is confident of a quick rebound as the new tax regime settles into place. This follows a manufacturing indicator plummeting to an eight-year low last month because of the same reason GST, which was rolled out on July 1.

Business conditions in India have deteriorated the most since the global financial crisis as the roll out of a nationwide sales tax disrupted supply and distribution links just months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cash ban roiled markets.

RBI Governor Urjit Patel said inflation is expected to rise from record lows even as the central bank opted for a cut in key lending rate to a 6.5-year low "to reinvigorate private investment" and resolve the issue of mounting bad loans amid weak corporate balance sheets. The 0.25 per cent lowering of the repo rate to 6 per cent comes after a 10-month pause and is the second since Patel took over last September.

The Reserve Bank said it will endeavour to keep retail inflation close to 4 per cent on a "durable basis" which may rise in the near term on account of pay commission payouts and price adjustments post GST rollout. "The MPC observed that while inflation has fallen to a historic low, a conclusive segregation of transitory and structural factors driving the disinflation is still elusive. The MPC remains focused on its commitment to keeping headline inflation close to 4 per

cent on a durable basis," the central bank said in its 3rd bi-monthly monetary policy statement, 2017-18.

India's new Goods and Services Tax, introduced in July, has impacted the country's services sector. The Nikkei India Services Purchasing Managers' Index fell to 45.9 in July, the lowest reading since September 2013. June's figure was 53.1. Almost 23% of survey participants reported lower output, which they commonly associated with falling new orders and the introduction of the GST. Business conditions in India’s service economy deteriorated markedly in July following the implementation of the GST. Output and new work declined for the first time since January, with rates of reduction the quickest since September 2013.

The Indian government is on track to achieve the fiscal deficit target of 3.2% of GDP in the current fiscal year, said a report by UBS. The central government’s fiscal deficit has already reached 81% of the full-year target in the first quarter (April to June) of 2017-18. The Centre’s fiscal deficit narrowed from a peak of 6.5% of GDP in 2009-10 to 3.5 % of GDP in 2016-17 and is estimated to fall further to 3.2% of GDP in 2017-18.

The Government of India has garnered over Rs 1.80 lakh crore in direct tax till July 15 in the current FY18, representing a growth of 21.4% YoY.

On the other hand, the number of cyber crimes pertaining to credit card, ATM, debit card and internet banking shows a marginal increase of 4.4% to 13,653 in 2016-17 from 13,083 in 2014-15.

The Nikkei India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index, or PMI, dropped to a near eightand-a-half year low of 47.9 in July from 50.9 in June. A reading above 50 indicates economic expansion, while one below 50 points toward contraction. Manufacturing growth in India came to a halt in July, with the PMI down to its lowest mark in almost eight-and-a-half years amid widespread reports that the sector has been adversely affected by the implementation of the goods and services tax," said Pollyanna De Lima, principal economist at IHS Markit, which compiles the survey.
