JULY FOMC MEET - A NON EVENT, UNCERTAINTY CONTINUES!

about 13 years ago

It was a non-event, no firework announcements on QE easing as expected. In fact there had been more action on the Indian bourses - it was an action packed day with the Commerce Minister doing his bit, the finance minister giving us his one year 'report card' and tried to keep hopes intact. RBI also stepped in with some reassuring statements. But it was ultimately Ben Bernanke

FOMC MINUTES - UNCERTAINTY ON TIME AND AMOUNT OF EASING CONTINUES

about 13 years ago

The news was that most Fed officials at Fed were comfortable with Bernanke's plan to start tapering Q2 before the end of this year, if the economy improves. The interesting part is that despite the headlines, the minutes indicate that four out of the seven members preferred to wait for some more time before the beginning the tapering; felt "a change in the purchase program was not yet appropriate."

WILL FIIs SCOOT FROM INDIA POST QE TAPERING?

about 13 years ago

We all know why the FIIs are selling - the inevitable QE tapering. By tomorrow night we expect to know the quantum and the time frame of the tapering and there is bound to be a reaction. So does it mean that FIIs will pack their bags and bid adieu and scoot from India? Unlikely. FIIs simply cannot afford to move out lock, stock and barrel out of India as the opportunity that the country presents it too good to ignore

RAJAN'S FIRST CREDIT POLICY - FOLLOWS FOOTSTEPS OF PREDECESSOR

about 13 years ago

Like his predecessor, Dr.Subbarao, Rajan too kept his eye on inflation and hiked repo rates by 25 bps to 7.5%. The market was shocked. Then in Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) rate, expectations were around a cut of around 50 bps and it came in much higher at 75 bps at 9.5%. MSF is a tool wherein banks will be able to borrow upto 1% of their respective Net Demand and Time Liabilities. This is used to reduce volatility

RBI KEEPS STATUS QUO - NO 'APRIL FOOL' PRANK HERE!

about 13 years ago

Looking ahead, it would be too early to start predicting what RBI would do in its next policy as it will continue to be data driven - with monsoon predictions to rule all decisions as it will directly affect inflation. Yet, it we were to read the writing on the wall, rate cuts are not seen anywhere on the horizon, lets only hope that no more rate hikes comes. If inflation soars and monsoon fails, well, a rate cut would be inevitable.

More importantly, how come the FIIs have gone all gung-ho when even two months ago, when all economic parameters were the same as what we have today existed, the very same FIIs were not-so-bullish? How come this sudden jump from cold shoulder to hot, hot, hot?

The Fed had very much indicated in March itself that GDP would be down but then had called it a temporary decline mainly caused by winter storms.

RBI DOES THE EXPECTED - MAINTAINS STATUS QUO ON RATES

about 13 years ago

It was as expected, to some extent. RBI kept the CRR unchanged at 4% and repo rate was also unchanged at 8%. But the surprise was that the RBI Governor went on to cut SLR by 50 bps. And another surprise was that it went on to reduce liquidity provided under the export credit refinance (ECR) facility from 50% of

ECB - "WE ARE NOT FINISHED" - RATE CUTS AND TLTROs, NO QE

about 13 years ago

In a much needed effort to boost economic growth and avoid deflation in the Eurozone, the anticipated rate cuts came in, a historic move of sorts - the European Central Bank (ECB) lowered its benchmark interest rate to 0.15% from 0.25%. The ECB also reduced its deposit rate below zero, to -0.1%.

So once more, the Fed seems to have got more comfortable in the shoes that it is wearing - the near 0% interest rate remains intact for six years now. Yellen also sent out the message that rates will be kept at the same levels for a 'considerable' time. This surely means through 2015 and we do not know yet whether it

BERNANKE DEFINES TIMELINE FOR EASING OF QE

RBI ADOPTS A NEUTRAL STANCE - ALL EYES ON NEW DATA AND BUDGET

about 12 years ago

This was probably the most neutral RBI policy ever, with no guidance, no rate change, no change anywhere. The only change - it cut SLR rate by 50 bps to 21.5%, which would really have no real impact on the banks. The strong message which we got was that RBI is jittery about the Indian rupee and has put in place a few clauses to

WILL THE BSE EVER GET LISTED?

about 11 years ago

Arun Jaitley, our FM has just returned from a 10-day trip to USA; his objective - to garner more FDI for the country. While he has been waxing eloquent about how one can make investments in India; he urged US investors to look at India as a destination where investments can now be committed without delay. Really? Well, that reality apart, what must have really come as totally unexpected and unexpected would have been the question on BSE listing. While telling investors that things in India now move very fast, he was probably put in a tight corner over the almost decade long delay in getting the premier stock exchange of India, Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) listed.

THANK GOD THE RBI IS GUIDED BY PRUDENCE AND NOT COMPETITION!

We in India constantly rue about the high interest rates.

That's all these economic numbers have become all about.

" We would rather go into deep waters and face the risk of drowning than get eaten alive by the sharks" That in a nutshell described the psyche of the people of Greece when they voted with an overwhelming majority of "NO". This was like Cameron's win in Britain - no one had expected him to win and that too with a landslide victory but when people went to vote, they voted for what they felt strongly. So the Greek have made history, preferring to kick away the offer of the European Union, saying that they no longer wanted to live in

SEBI's Corporate Governance Code which came into effect last October, already stipulates that CEOs pay, as a median of average pay of employees be disclosed.

Low inflation due to global factors, better inflation management despite poor rainfall is what has prompted the RBI to get so generous. Another positive here is that the RBI

SEBI once again stoked the embers which had almost gone cold... after all hopes were fired up since 2006 and then there was no action.

The word “bad” has a negative connotation so cannot help but wonder how good will come from bad?

There will be this bank which will buy up all the Non Performing Assets (NPAs) of all the 28 Public Sector banks (PSBs).

Only reason for this complete loss of faith - the PM in his speech apparently 'hinted' at Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) taxes. What he actually said was - tax collection
