Friday, May 31, 2:55 AM India's GDP growth slowed to its weakest in a decade in FY 2012 (ending in March 2013), coming in at 5%, while the expansion in FQ4 was even lower at 4.8%. Still that did meet consensus and was above the 4.7% in FQ3. The services sector grew strongly in FQ4, while manufacturing and farming also expanded, although mining declined an annual 3.1%. The BSE Sensex is -1%, while the rupee (ICN) is -0.2% vs the dollar. 1 Comment
Tuesday, May 28, 3:10 PM The fundamentals needed to support a bull market in struggling Indian equities are in place, says Jefferies, but the needed catalyst - new elections and a stable government - is about a year away. Use the time to rotate out of just-downgraded staples and IT, and into industrial cyclicals and (especially) financials. Favorite stocks: HDB and IBN. ETFs: EPI, PIN. INP, INDY, INDA, INXX, SCIF, SCIN, INDL. Comment! [Global & FX]
Friday, May 24, 4:42 PM The week's ETF movers - Gainers: GDXJ +6.5%. GAZ +6.3%. TAN +5.2%. UNG +4.4%. GDX +4.3%.
ETF Losers: WPS -6.1%. EWJ -5.7%. EWA -5.6%. EPI -5.6%. IYR -3.4%. Comment! [On the Move]
Wednesday, May 15, 9:55 AM Indian equities (EPI +1.9%) surge, sending the Sensex up 2.5%. Triggering the rally were comments from the country's central bank that subdued inflation would be taken into consideration, fueling speculation that further rate cuts (there have been three YTD, totaling 75 basis points) are on the horizon. Inflation fell below 5% in April from 5.96% in March. Comment! [Global & FX, On the Move]
Friday, May 3, 4:55 PM The week's ETF movers - Gainers: XLK +3.9%. QQQ +3.7%. EPI +3.6%. EWY +3.2%. ILF +3.1%.
ETF Losers: GAZ -4.6%. UNG -4.2%. VXX -2.8%. GDXJ -2.4%. TLT -2.0%. Comment! [On the Move]
Tuesday, April 30, 3:28 AM Investor sentiment towards India is improving, Citi says after meeting with over 40 institutional investors. Key drivers cited were a comfortable current-account deficit, declining inflation, and fiscal health. India is among the few large markets that would welcome equity market inflows; if the currency holds and the macro stabilizes, inflows could accelerate. (ETFs: INDY, EPI, PIN, INP, INDA, INXX, SCIF, SCIN, INDL, SMIN, ICN, INR) Comment! [Quick Ideas, Global & FX]
Friday, April 26, 4:24 PM The week's ETF movers - Gainers: TAN +14.6%. XHB +6.2%. OIL +5.5%. USO +5.5%. PHYS +4.4%.
ETF Losers: VXX -5.8%. GAZ -5.3%. UNG -4.5%. DBA -1.0%. EPI -0.4%. Comment! [On the Move]
Friday, April 19, 4:26 PM The week's ETF movers - Gainers: VXX +11.3%. EPI +5.5%. UNG +3.9%. GAZ +3.9%. AMJ +2.1%.
ETF Losers: GDXJ -14.2%. SLV -11.4%. SIVR -11.3%. GDX -11.3%. PSLV -10.8%. Comment! [On the Move]
Tuesday, April 16, 8:48 AM Goldman Sachs (GS) is chosen by India as the asset manager for an ETF made up of state-owned companies. The fund is part of an effort by the government to raise up to $7.4B by selling stakes in state firms. The ETF is likely to be launched in the next couple of months. EPI -10.8% YTD, but the Sensex gained 2.1% overnight. Comment! [Global & FX, Financials]
Tuesday, April 9, 10:43 AM Indian stocks (EPI -0.7%) hit seven-month lows as investors dump shares ahead of earnings season which kicks off Friday. The Asian Development Bank and separately UBS today cut their forecasts for the country's economic growth to 6% and 6.5% respectively. Last year's 5% growth rate was the lowest in 10 years. India's central bank meets Friday and may cut rates for a third time this year. Comment! [Global & FX]
Monday, April 1, 8:19 AM India's PMI slides to a 16-month low of 52 in March from 54.2 in February, led by the New Orders sub-index, also at a 16-month low, and "persistent power outages" hampering production. Inventories, however, were depleted somewhat, suggesting a future lift in output to replenish them. EPI -7.3% YTD. Comment! [Global & FX]
Monday, March 25, 8:40 AM Not joining the global rally, India's Sensex declines (0.3%) for a 7th consecutive day amid a government stalemate and a central bank which just cut rates but hinted more may not be coming. India-related funds led declines in the ETF sector last week, SCIF and INXX each down 9.4%, SCIN -7.2%. The popular EPI fell 5.5%. Comment! [Global & FX]
Friday, March 22, 4:32 PM The week's ETF movers - Gainers: AMJ +3.37%. VXX +2.24%. GDX +2.20%. XLP +2.13%. UNG +1.98%.
ETF Losers: EPI -5.54%. BRF -4.26%. KOL -3.67%. EWZ -3.64%. FCG -3.43%. Comment! [On the Move]
Tuesday, March 19, 3:04 AM As expected, the Reserve Bank of India has cut its benchmark interest rate to 7.5% from 7.75%, the second reduction this year, as it looks to boost faltering economic growth. The move comes despite consumer inflation of 10.9%. "Even as the policy stance emphasizes addressing the growth risks, the headroom for further monetary easing remains quite limited," the RBI said. (PR) Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories]
Thursday, March 14, 4:27 AM India's wholesale price index, the country's main gauge of inflation, rose 6.84% on year in February vs +6.62% in January and vs consensus of +6.6% as fuel prices spiked 10.5%. CPI +10.9%. The increasing inflation makes it less likely that the Reserve Bank of India will cut interest rates when it meets on Tuesday next week. Comment! [Global & FX]
Friday, March 8, 5:21 PM The week's ETF movers - Gainers: EPI +5.99%. FCG +5.25%. UNG +4.93%. TAN +4.45%. EWZ +4.44%.
ETF Losers: VXX -11.09%. TLT -3.49%. FXY -2.60%. EWY -1.36%. MUB -1.36%. 4 Comments
