Domestic Market View
Markets to get a positive start of the new week on
sanguine global cues
The Indian markets coming out of the consolidation
mood surged in the last session and the major bourses
touched their fresh record highs. Today, the start is likely
to be in green on positive global cues, though traders
will be concerned with the Central Statistics Office (CSO)
first advance estimates of GDP growth for current
financial year, stating that the Indian economy is
expected to grow at a slower 6.5 percent in 2017-18
compared to the 7.1 percent in 2016-17. According to
CSO, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at constant
(2011-12) prices for 2017-18 is likely to attain a level of
Rs 129.85 lakh crore. However, there will be some
support with report that credit growth after a long gap
grew in double digits to 10.65 per cent at Rs 80,96,727
crore in the fortnight ended December 22, 2017 due to
the base effect. Meanwhile, credit rating agency ICRA’s
statement that the narrower-than-expected win in
Gujarat and upcoming polls in other states will lead to a
reorientation of priorities for the government with a
greater focus expected on the farm and small businesses
sectors. It has said that government may opt for fiscal
deficit range in Budget. There will be some buzz in the
aviation stocks, as the government has if capping of
airfares get implemented it would result in increased
cost of air travel for 99 per cent of the passengers.

Domestic Market Overview
Bulls tighten grip on Dalal Street; Nifty surpasses 10,550 mark
Friday turned out to be a remarkable day of trade for Indian equity benchmarks where bulls
tightened their grip on Dalal Street, with Nifty and Sensex hitting fresh record highs and ending
above their crucial 10,550 and 34,150 levels, respectively for the first time ever. The markets’ mood
remained up-beat throughout the day and benchmarks fervently gained from strength to strength,
as investors continued hunt for fundamentally strong stocks. Sentiments remained up-beat
throughout the session with NITI Aayog’s expectation that the first strategic disinvestment of Central
Public Sector Enterprises will be conducted within the current financial year. It said that the process
of divestment is being carried out by Department of Investment and Public Asset Management
(DIPAM) and the first transactions are expected in the current financial year after a long gap of 14
years. Some support also came with the Union Cabinet approving the revised model concession
agreement for public private partnership projects in major ports. The amendments were made in the
MCA to attract more investments in the port sector and are expected to clear the hurdles created by
some of the provisions in the current model concession agreement.
Some support also came with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s assurance that the positive impact of
the government’s reform measures would get reflected in the medium to long term and noted that
India is the only economy which could maintain a growth rate of 7-8 percent amid challenges like
the country’s weak public sector banks (PSBs) and initial disturbance of demonetisation, Goods and
Services Tax (GST). Meanwhile, traders’ focus shifts to third quarter earnings with Tata Consultancy
Services (TCS) and Infosys scheduled to report their Q3 numbers next week, amid signs the economy
is recovering after the withdrawal of high-denomination currency bills in late 2016 and the
introduction of the GST last year.
The infra stocks remained on buyers’ radar after the government approved Rs 12,178 crore worth of
infrastructure projects and an AIIMS in Bilaspur in Himachal Pradesh to be constructed at a cost of Rs
1,351crore. Shares of liquor companies rallied on BSE after GM Breweries reported a strong results
for the third quarter ended December 2017 of current fiscal (Q3FY18). IT stocks exhibited mixed
trend on report that the US is considering new regulations to prevent the extension of H-1B visas as
part of president Donald Trump's 'Buy American, Hire American' initiative, a move which could hit
tech firms and hundreds of thousands of Indian IT professionals.
Global Market Overview
Asian markets end mostly higher on Friday
Asian equity markets ended mostly in green on Friday even as regional gains remained modest
ahead of the release of the closely-watched US jobs report for December, due later in the day. The
jobs report is expected to show an increase of about 190,000 jobs in December after an addition of
228,000 jobs in November. The unemployment rate is expected to hold at 4.1 percent. Japanese
shares extended gains from the previous session to probe 26-year highs as the yen held broadly
lower on improved risk appetite. Further, Chinese shares ended higher on growth optimism. China’s
services sector activity expanded in December on solid growth in new business, with the outlook
improving to a six-month high, a private sector survey showed on Thursday. Another private business
survey showed growth in China’s manufacturing sector unexpectedly rose to a four-month high in
December thanks to a surge in new orders.
US markets end first week of 2018 on stellar note
The US markets closed higher on Friday, to end the first week of 2018 on a stellar footing, marked by
four straight positive session following lackluster jobs data. Friday’s rally meant that none of the
equity indexes have posted a down day so far in 2018. For the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq, it was the
fourth straight closing record, while the Dow carved out its third in a row. The broad-market
benchmark has closed at a record on the first four trading days of the New Year, the first time it has
done so since 1964. The gains over the week have been buoyed by the recently passed corporate
tax-cut package, rising commodity prices, and robust corporate earnings. Solid economic data and
low bond yields have also been cited as contributing factors.

FICCI urges government to lower corporate tax to 28% in Budget 2018-19
The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) has urged the government to lower the corporate tax from
30 percent to 28 percent in the upcoming Union Budget 2018-19. It believed that such a move would help the Indian industry in
meeting the challenges emanating from tax cuts by the Trump administration in the US and its outcome in other developing
countries.
The Industry body has clarified that bringing the tax rate to 28 percent will be a good start and noted that the corporate sector
would start becoming unproductive in the absence of the rate cut. It also said that in Budget 2016-17, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley
had promised to reduce the corporate tax to 25 percent over the next four years. However, he has not been able to cut the rates.
Besides, it stated that in December 2017, Senate Republicans passed a sweeping overhaul of the US tax code in more than 30
years. It also said that the Senate approved the $1.5 trillion tax bill, which includes permanent tax breaks for corporations and
temporary tax cuts for individuals, by a final vote of 51-48.
Regarding the prospects of economic growth, the chamber expects that India's economic growth will accelerate to 7.5 percent in
the fiscal year 2018-19. Meanwhile, the government is scheduled to come out with the Budget for 2018-19 on February 1, which
will also be the last regular Budget of the current government.
Govt’s recapitalization plan likely to narrow gap between public, private banks: Moody’s
The global ratings agency, Moody’s Investors Service in its latest report has said that the government’s ambitious plan to infuse Rs
2.11 lakh crore capital over the next two years into public sector banks (PSBs) is likely to help narrow the gap between the capital
profiles of Indian public and private sector banks. Besides, Moody’s Indian affiliate, ICRA pointed that the deterioration in asset
quality -- in terms of gross non-performing assets (GNPAs) are likely to peak by the end of FY2018, but elevated levels of
provisioning on these NPAs will continue to negatively affect the banks until fiscal 2019.
The US-based agency, Moody’s believed that the capital infusion will also help public sector banks build their provisioning coverage
ratios as they will be able to allocate much of their operating profits towards loan-loss provisioning without having to worry about
the impact on their capital positions. It also pointed out that state-run banks' weak capital profile is their key credit weakness in

comparison to their peers in the private sector. It highlighted that the average common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio of rated PSBs as
on September 2017, stood at 8.7% compared with that of 12.2% of rated private banks.
Moody’s further said that the package will facilitate the two key policy initiatives of non-performing loan (NPL) resolution and Basel
III implementation. Apart from this, it noted that the move will also strengthen the government's bargaining position for pushing
through some of its more fundamental reforms, such as those targeting corporate governance and industry consolidation.
Fitch Ratings project India’s medium-term growth at average 6.7% over next 5 years
Expressing optimism over India’s medium-term economic prospects, global ratings agency, Fitch Ratings in its latest report has
stated that the country has the potential to grow at an average of 6.7 percent per annum over the next five years and will be the
fastest growing large economies. It added that even though this rate of growth is lower than the potential and what policymakers
have been aspiring for, it is ahead of the 5.5 percent growth estimated for China and Indonesia, who are joined at the second
fastest rank.
The report titled ‘Global Economic Outlook (GEO) forecast’ has said that demographic factors, where India is among the youngest
countries in the world with a maximum number of people in the working age group, and investment rates will be aiding the
country. It also said that the country is set to witness a continued robust growth in the working-age population in the next five
years, bolstering growth potential, and added that Indonesia, Mexico, Turkey and Brazil will also benefit from a similar trend.
Fitch Ratings said India has an ‘impressive rate of capital accumulation per worker’ which helps in maintaining the economic
growth and also in upping the living standards. However, it said going by total factor productivity, which captures improvements in
the efficiency of the production process, India has some catching-up to do. It added that trend total factor productivity in India is
expected to increase after recent ambitious structural reforms such as the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the Insolvency and
Bankruptcy Code.
Govt seeks additional Rs 80,000 crore bonds for the recapitalisation of PSBs
In its third supplementary demand in the current fiscal, the government has sought parliamentary nod for additional Rs 80,000
crore bonds for the recapitalisation of public sector banks (PSBs). Lok Sabha gave its nod to the central government's request for
additional spending to boost the capital health of Public Sector and now the matter will be heard in Rajya Sabha on 5th January.
The Parliament approval is in line with the government's larger plan to strengthen the Indian economy with total financial
inclusion, and bank recapitalization is a major part of the initiative. Though, it’s still not declared but the major beneficiaries may
include State Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank and Indian Bank. The latest approval of funds will be utilised by March
this year.
Under the Indradhanush road map announced in 2015, the government had declared infusion of Rs 70,000 crore in state-owned
banks over four years, while they will have to raise a further Rs 1.1 lakh crore from the market to meet their capital requirement in
line with global risk norms, known as Basel-III. In October last year, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley approved the recapitalisation of
PSBs to support credit growth and job creation, entailing mobilization of capital of Rs 2.1 lakh crore in the next two years, including
re-capitalisation bonds of Rs 1.35 lakh crore.
