Nik's Diary
The Indian market was expected to open flat to negative tracking  and flat opening in SGX Nifty. Most of the Asian markets were trading in the red.  US stocks moved mostly higher over the course of the trading day on Friday, although buying interest was somewhat subdued. The markets benefited from a positive reaction to the release of some relatively upbeat economic data. Most major averages finished the day in positive territory, with the S&P 500 reaching its best closing level since December of 2007. The European markets overcame their early weakness on Friday and ended the session in positive territory. The initial weakness was caused by indications that policymakers in the US would probably end their $85 billion monthly bond-purchase program before year-end. However, the markets recovered following the release of US jobs report for December, which was in line with expectations. Indian shares recovered early losses to finish marginally higher on Friday, as gains in oil & gas as well as IT stocks outweighed losses in metal stocks amid speculation about an early end to Fed's quantitative easing. 

LIC Housing Finance plans to raise upto  `1,000cr through ECB route 
LIC Housing Finance is planning to raise a sum of  `700-1,000cr through External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) route. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had in last month allowed real estate developers and housing Finance companies to raise up to US$ 1bn through ECBs in the current fiscal to promote low-cost housing projects. As per the management, company belongs to the segment which has been permitted by the RBI. In our view, the ECB funding which the company has planned would be around 1.6% of total interest bearing liabilities and considering the interest rate differential associated with ECB funding compared to domestic borrowing, the benefit at the FY2014E PBT level would be nearly 3%. At CMP, the stock trades at 2.0x

Indraprastha gas raises price of CNG
Indraprastha Gas (IGL) has increased the price of CNG in Delhi by `1.55/kg to `39.9/kg due to increase in input costs. The company has been importing higher quantities of natural gas (which is expensive) due to shortage in domestic gas production. Since the increase in price will be offset by higher costs, we do not expect a material impact on the company's financials.

Fundamentals April 30, 2013

Nik's Diary The Indian markets opened in the green following strong start to SGX Nifty and major Asian indices after better-than-expected reading on US housing sales and amid speculation that central banks will continue the stimulation measures. The US markets ended on a positive note on Monday with S&P 500 closing at a record high as traders reacted positively to the latest batch of economic news. The strength on Wall Street reflected a positive reaction to a report from the National Association of Realtors showing a bigger than expected rebound in pending home sales in the month of March. The pending home sales index rose by 1.5% in March 2013 after falling by 1% in February 2013. A separate report from the Commerce Department showed that personal spending climbed 0.2% in March 2013 following a 0.7% increase in February 2013. Meanwhile in India, renewed hopes of an interest rate cut at the RBI's monetary policy meet that is scheduled on May 3 helped stocks close high...

Trade deficit for November at USD9.2bn led by lower imports

According to provisional data released by the commerce ministry, the trade deficit for November 2013 has narrowed to USD9.2bn as against USD10.6bn in the previous month and USD17.2bn in November 2012 mainly on account of a sharp decline in imports. Imports reported a contraction of 16.4% during November 2013 as against 14.5% in the previous month and growth of 3.5% in November 2012. However, the momentum of strong export performance witnessed over the past four months slowed in November 2013, with export growth at 5.9% as compared to 13.5% in October 2013. The decline in imports for the sixth consecutive month can be attributed to the steep contraction in non-oil imports due to restrictions on gold imports as well as the impact of weak domestic demand in the economy. Non oil imports reported de-growth of 23.7% as compared to 22.8% in the previous month and oil imports came in lower by 1.1% as compared to growth of 1.7% in the ...

You are still helping by fearing and staying away from equity investing !!!

Yes it is true. Retail investors help markets and its participants more by staying out than by investing in equities itself. Hence optimists like me, do not mind retail investors doing everything else other than investing in equity markets.  Let me tell you how it helps us. 1. Keeping your money in low interest bearing savings accounts will help banks raise cheap funds. In such a way you earn taxable 9% per year in fixed deposits and 4 % in saving accounts, whereas we  continue accumulating multi lac crore banks like HDFCBank, AxisBank, ICICIBank, SBI and like, which are up by any multiple between 3.5 times to 11 times since December 2008. Also, by paying all your EMI installments on time would help private banks stay out of trouble and we shall continue investing in banking sector with of course proper investment plans and goals. This is something retail investors lack and often end up burning their fingers. 2. Retail investors are more or less out of the mark...
