The EMI moratorium is a comfort you are getting now for which you pay a much higher price later – that in short explains the predicament. If you are comfortable, there is liquidity or you are a salaried employee, it makes no sense to opt for this moratorium..

Force Majeure. This is something you will be hearing a lot in the coming days. But where does this pandemic fall? We are calling it a war but does this virus itself qualify for ‘Act of God?’

Under normal circumstances, today, the 31st March would have been such a busy day. It is after all the last day of the fourth quarter of FY20, the last day of the FY20 fiscal. It is the day when all accounts are closed for the fiscal and more importantly, the last day

As all have been saying, RBI has ticked all the boxes. Whatever weapons it had in its arsenal to combat the virus, it has used. Every single weapon. Now it is up to each department to do its job – health, finance, state govts. RBI has done its job and superbly too!

The package announced by the FM today was spot-on. This is exactly what is required first – take care of those on the lowest rung or those who are not even on the economic ladder.

Lockdown is a bold move and we all are proud that the leadership could be so decisive, putting health and lives ahead of economic consequences. But along with the closedown, the PM and FM have to come out with measures ASAP to avert a human crisis after the virus is gone.

MORE OF BOOK-KEEPING THAN SOPS

By Ruma Dubey about 11 days ago

The much anticipated Presser from the FM was more about compliance and not any stimulus or sops. Today, when we are at the threshold of a crisis exploding, what we get is book-keeping announcements! These could have been easily announced along with the economic sops.

Just as we are on the prowl – looking for stocks which hit lows to shore up our portfolio in these troubled times, promoters of various companies are also looking at their own stocks. Buyback has become a good word on Dalal Street.

So be it the bigwig companies or the small enterprises, right from a baker, gym owner, hotels, restaurants, almost everyone around you and me is anxious. Every startup is hyperventilating. And this is the real impact of the Covid-19. Those getting afflicted and dying due to the virus is direct but all these making a living on the middle and lower rung of the economic ladder are at an increasing risk of falling off if this crisis continues.

RBI GOES BEYOND RATE CUTS

By Ruma Dubey about 19 days ago

20 countries cut their rate in March, trying to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus. And it would have been very easy for the RBI Governor to merely follow the herd and cut rates. But RBI showed a lot of maturity by using other weapons in its arsenal to inject liquidity into the system

Gordon Gekko says very famously in the iconic film Wall Street, “ It's not a question of enough, pal. It's a zero sum game, somebody wins, somebody loses. Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred from one perception to another.”

FREAKY FRIDAY THE 13TH!

But what we learned today are two things – firstly, if the market is doing well, suddenly all fears vanish. The moment the Sensex turns green, its as though magically all negative emotions, all the panic and anxiety just vanished. So, if the market is good, irrespective of coronavirus or any other virus, life is good!

At a time when we are looking at recession, there comes some small good news from IIP and CPI – we see some stabilization, not acceleration but now with the virus attack, guess all computations have gone askew.

PANIC STREET – FEAR STALKS BIG TIME

By Ruma Dubey about 23 days ago

The sheer speed at which the markets fell today left everyone shocked and numb. And in that light, the IIP data for January and the retail inflation for February due today evening seems so outdated. With the Covid-19 striking a fatal blow, none of this data holds any relevance....

By Ruma Dubey about 25 days ago

It is not as though nothing has been done to improve storage facilities; the Govt has plans but as usual, it is way behind schedule. In FY16, the Govt gave its approval to create 100 lakh tonne of steel silos to store wheat in bulk.

MARKET DONS THE RED COLOR OF GULAL

Thus for India, the outbreak of the coronavirus and the crashing global markets is reason enough but the collapse of Yes Bank and detection of a fraud once again has shaken the very foundation of trust on the entire banking system and the Govt.

FEAR RULES DALAL STREET

By Ruma Dubey about 30 days ago

But the crash of the markets today had nothing to do with it being the last day of the week. The markets, this entire week have been pretty volatile and 1000 points fall, we have seen that earlier too. Its just that when it happens on the last day of the week, it is unnerving.

YES BANK – SBI TO SAY “YES, I DO?”

By Ruma Dubey about 1 month ago

The Govt can arm twist any of its PSUs to buy any company, sound or on the verge of bankruptcy. We have seen that happen often, more recently in the case of LIC forced to buy IDBI Bank. And today, there were unconfirmed reports that SBI might be pushed to buy Yes Bank.
