TECHNICAL TREND ( NIFTY - BANK NIFTY FUTURES )

NIFTY FIFTY : - The Equity benchmark Nifty 50 opened in a positive note on Monday
up by 38 points or 0.43 per cent at 8735. The benchmark Index Nifty did not show any
clear movement last week after testing 8800 levels, it corrected by 100 points on low
volumes to close at 8715. This week being a truncated week with two successive holidays
we have seen seen some negative movement. Nifty Closed Almost Flat in A Holiday
Thinned Trade Amid Lackluster Global Cues And Caution Before Q2 Earnings &
IIP/Inflation Data. The Market saw a significant decline in a Thursday trading session
after the US Federal Reserve minutes boosted the case for higher interest rates. Nifty
dropped to a day low of 8541 approximately so far from a previous closing of 8708. Nifty
may consolidate between 8840-8540 range and any breakout or breakdown with volumes
may result in a 300-450 point movement on either side. The Significance Resistance for
Nifty is 8630-8740 and Support is 8520-8416.
BANK NIFTY : - The Bank Nifty opened in a Positive Note on Monday up by 89 points
or 0.45 per cent at 19489. On Monday Banking shares saw small profit booking after a
rate cut and some under performance was witnessed despite holding on to the support of
19500. The Bank Nifty was showing Considerable weakness and had closed at 19379 on
Monday, which is 300 points near range low of 19079. Banks may report some
improvements in fresh NPA/NPL creation on a sequential basis rather than mere
recognition, effective resolution may be more important as of now and transfer of Net
Performing Assets to some other Assets Reconstruction Company may ease the burden
on the banks temporarily, but it will not solve the basic problem of low capacity
utilization & tepid demand. Bank Nifty immediate support is around 19106-19026* area
and below that expect 18761-18519* area.On the upside, for any strength, Bank Nifty
need to sustain above 19600-19700* zone for further rally up to 19900-20000 area. The
Crucial Levels for Nifty is 19112-19348 Upside and 18880-18640 is down side.

NSE - WEEKLY NEWS LETTERS

TOP NEWS OF THE WEEK
Indian growth makes it natural recipient of higher FDI: Arun Jaitley - India, since it
is growing much faster as compared to the rest of the world, has become natural recipient
of a higher level of foreign direct investment , Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said.
"India has become far more aspirational than ever before. So compared to the rest of the
world, we are doing much better," Jaitley, who is here attending the annual fall meeting
of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, told reporters on Sunday. "Since
India is growing much faster, as compared to the rest of the world, it has become the
natural recipient of a higher level of FDI," he said. "For the rest of the world, whereas we
aspire to do better in this adverse environment, they consider it extremely impressive. So
there is a lot of global buzz around India," he added. The Finance Minister, however "put
a caveat", saying by India's own yardstick, its current growth rate is not enough. "We can
do still better, which in a sense, is not a bad thing to happen. To be restless, to be
impatient is a sign of wanting to do better," he said. "I think with the kind of investments,
both domestic and international, that we are getting, a reasonable amount of growth will
always be there. If growth returns to the world, then you would probably move up.
Structural reforms like Goods and Services Tax can only add to that," he added.
Credit quality improvement still not on horizon: ICRA - Credit quality of corporates
continued to remain weak in the first half of the current financial year with the domestic
rating agency ICRA upgrading just 287 firms against downgrades of 314 companies out
of the around 7,000 entities with loans. This makes the ratio of upgrades to downgrades,
or the credit ratio, at a weak 0.9, a against 1.94 a year ago, or 460 upgrades against 237
downgrades, suggesting improvement in credit quality is still some time away. Over the
past few quarters, the number of downgrades shot up following a rise in stress in sectors
like metals, engineering, gems and jewellery and textiles, ICRA said in a note today,
adding the volume of rating upgrades has been declining. ICRA's head of credit policy
Jitin Makkar said, " the reduction in instances of upgrades, a trend that started in the
second half of FY15, continued in the first half of FY 17 as power, real estate and
construction, metals and engineering sectors stressed. He noted strengthening in credit
quality of sectors like pharma and IT is not imminent in backdrop of increasing
regulatory intervention and slowing client spending overseas. further upside risks to
downgrades are limited the agency said.
Government wants PSBs midsize corporate borrowers shifted to bond market - The
government wants state-run banks to nudge their midsized corporate borrowers to seek

credit through alternative sources, help develop bond market and create space for banks
to lend to small and medium enterprises. Simultaneously, the government is working with
IIFCL and Life Insurance Corporation to make credit enhancement facilities available to
such borrowers, which will allow them to easily access the bond market. This will also
help banks diversify their risk. We expect some of the larger banks will take lead in
educating borrowers and also provide support, wherever necessary, said a senior
government official, who did not wish to be identified. Banks will also be asked to
explore takeout financing schemes for exposure to infrastructure sector, the official said.
Some of these issues were discussed in the performance review of state-run banks held
last month. Reserve Bank of India deputy governor R Gandhi had, last month, expressed
concern that the corporate bond market is accessible largely to top-rated borrowers.
Efforts in this respect should be focused on facilitating access of low credit borrowers to
this market, Gandhi had said. As per RBI data, more than 85% of corporate bond
issuance in India is by borrowers with rating of A and above. We want banks to free up
their capital and drive investment. If the borrowers are regulated through markets it will
also instil more discipline in them, said the government official cited earlier. Discussions
are on with all regulators to further develop the bond market, the official said.
No Fiscal worries, Government spending wont falter: Arun Jaitley - The finance
ministry wants ministries to maintain spending in line with budget allocations, dismissing
fiscal concerns that have arisen halfway through the year after the recent spectrum
auction fell short of target and the August deficit number was the highest in seven years.
Any shortfalls will be made up by collections under the just-concluded black money
disclosure scheme besides which stakes held in companies through the Specified
Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India will provide an added cushion without the
government having to scale back spending to meet the fiscal deficit target of 3.5 per cent
of GDP for the fiscal year, a senior finance ministry official said. We want ministries to
spend what has been allocated to them, the official said. We are on track on the fisc.
At the end of August, the fiscal deficit was at 76.4 per cent of whats been budgeted for
the year, the highest since FY 09 for the month, sparking concerns that Finance Minister
Arun Jaitley may struggle to meet the target. The government will get Rs 32,000 crore
from spectrum auction this year against an anticipated Rs 64,000 crore while the seventh
pay commission award is expected to cost more than what has been set aside.
GST lends more weight to India's 8% growth projection: S&P - : Calling Goods and
Services Tax as the most important structural reform till date by the Modi government,
S&P Global Ratings today said the passage of the indirect tax law gives it additional
conviction of India clocking 8 per cent growth in the next few years. "India's GST

passage gives us additional conviction around our 8%-ish GDP growth forecast over the
next few years," it said in a report titled 'Asia-Pacific steadies while China goes silent'.
The rating agency had last month projected India to clock a "steroid-free" growth of 8 per
cent in coming years. "The GST passage is arguably the most important structural reform
to date by the Modi government and will improve efficiency, cross-state trade and tax
buoyancy," it said today. It saw a reasonably firm pick-up in Asia-Pacific's macro
momentum indicators, with pick-up in retail sales offering the clearest sign in most of the
region's economies.with pick-up in retail sales offering the clearest sign in most of the
region's economies. This, it said, stems from rising income, which in turn is part of the
region's evolving growth dynamics, with consumption playing a larger role.
Growth remains subdued and outlook is clouded from economic and political
sources: Arun Jaitley - The recovery from the global financial crisis has not been as
healthy as we would have liked. Growth remains subdued and the outlook is clouded by
uncertainties emanating from both economic and political sources. Against this backdrop,
we also broadly agree with the way forward proposed in the Managing Directors Global
Policy Agenda. We particularly welcome the focus on measures to make growth more
broad based. We support the proposals for identifying policy space. We believe that the
IMF represents an unparalleled pool of economic knowledge and experience and has a
very important role to play in advising its membership on the way forward. This is
particularly true of those members whose capacities of economic policy formulation and
implementation are less developed. However, the IMF also needs to continue working on
removing perceptions of lack of evenhandedness. The Funds smaller members should be
confident that they are considered as important as the larger ones, and Fund conditionality
in programs is not unnecessarily burdensome for them.
Chairman, monetary policies in advanced economies have stayed accommodative for an
unprecedentedly longtime. In todays interconnected world, these policies inevitably
produce spillovers to EMDEs. We have consistently maintained that monetary policies in
advanced economies should be mindful of the risks caused to EMDEs. We would expect
that while the IMF analyzes the implications of low and negative interest rates, it should
also analyze the implications of these rates for EMDEs. We look forward to the IMFs
work to better understand the drivers of the slowdown in productivity growth. We
understand the Funds advice to commodity exporters for adjustment and diversification.
However, for a country to diversify its economy over the course of a few years is not an
easy task, particularly at a time when global demand is subdued. Therefore, we would
like the Fund to be more concrete in its advice for diversification, with a set of focused
recommendations for action, which are consistent with a countrys resources and

capabilities. Chairman, with inward looking policies finding support of a significant part
of the population in some countries, the Funds call for and focus on international
cooperation are timely. As the Global Policy Agenda mentions, such cooperation should
cover diverse areas like trade integration, financial regulatory reform and managing
spillovers. Recently, the Funds work plan has expanded to cover areas where the Fund
does not have as much expertise as it has in macroeconomic policies. These include
policies to deal with the impact of climate change, foster financial inclusion, tackle
growing inequality and so on. The Fund would do well to collaborate with the relevant
international organizations as it takes on these work-streams, while also making efforts to
enhance its in-house capabilities through training and recruitment Finally, Chairman, let
me say that we are somewhat disappointed that the deadline for completing the 15th
Review will be pushed back to the 2019 Spring Meetings. Given that there is broad
agreement on maintaining the current overall lending capacity of the Fund and that the
Funds resource pool is excessively tilted toward borrowed resources, there is a dire need
for increasing quotas. Recent work by the Fund also points to the need for realigning
quota shares to reflect the changed economic realities. All this can be achieved as part of
the 15th Review. Delays in General Reviews of Quotas erode the Funds legitimacy and
credibility, and are against the provisions of the Articles of Agreement. I do hope that the
deadlines that will now be set for completing the 15th Review, including agreement on a
new quota formula as the basis for realignment of quota shares, will be honored and
adhered to in letter and spirit. It is also important that the new quota formula should give
more weight to PPP GDP to better reflect the true economic strength of EMDEs.
Industrial output contracts 0.7 year-on-year in August - Indias industrial prodution
fell 0.7% in August, slighlty slower than 2.5% decline in July. Data released by the
statistics office showed a 0.3% fall in manufacturing production in August and a sharp
5.6% decline in mining output compared with a 0.8% growth in July. Manufacturing as a
sector has the highest weight in the Index of Industrial Production. The pace of electricity
generation marginally improved 0.1% compared with moderation in the previous month.
July IIP reading was revised to a 2.5% contraction, compared with the 2.4% decline
reported earlier. Capital goods output nosedived 22.2% July. It has been falling for the
last few months. The decreased pace of slowing industrial activity was evident in seven
out of the 22 industry groups in the manufacturing sector in August- a marked
improvement from July. Consumer goods production rose 1.1% in August with the output
of consumer non-durables an indicator of rural demand rising a mere 0.1% and that
of consumer durables a gauge of urban demand, rising 2.3%.

avoid borrowing for longer periods.
