There are quite a few 'events' lined up which will trigger this boring market - it should either speed up or come down; this in-between, don't-know-where-to-go attitude is like the drip-drip rain - it gets you wet and road slushy, yet it's not enough to soak you to the skin and not little enough to fold up the umbrella

BANKS AND THEIR REACTION PRE/POST 2008 - CLEARER BIG PICTURE

about 12 years ago

Before 2008, before the financial world collapsed, every bank in the world, be it the European Central Bank (ECB), Federal Reserve or our very own RBI, each reacted on influencing factors from within the country. Like ECB, looked at its own growth and inflation rates and accordingly designed policies. Ditto for Fed Reserve.

MARKETS ON A DREAM RUN - PANIC BUTTONS WHICH MIGHT TRIGGER NIGHTMARES

about 12 years ago

The market is having a dream run, with stocks scaling new highs. Yet there is a quiet sense of disquiet. A feeling that all could come crashing down. At times when there is fear lurking at the back of one's mind, it is always best to stay prepared

ANNUAL REPORT OF RBI FOR FY14 - IGNORE IT AT YOUR OWN PERIL

about 12 years ago

One can ignore the RBI Annual Report for 2013-14, saying that it's a lot of mumbo-jumbo, too much macro economic data, that too of a year gone by. But therein lay the ignorance. There are so many cues which one can collate from this Report for the current year. Like reading the Chairman's Message

JULY IIP - THANK GOD IT'S A FRIDAY!

about 12 years ago

The July IIP numbers came in much, much below expectations. Lower numbers were widely anticipated but IIP for the month coming in at 0.5% v/s estimate of 1.2 to1.5% was truly shocking.

THE BEST SUSTAINABLE BUY - AGRICULTURE LAND

about 12 years ago

Do you know where the next boom is headed and a boom which will never ever taper off? The food industry. Not processed food but the primary source of all food - agriculture. And China, as usual is buying up as much agricultural land as it can and its target is Australia.

MAHARASHTRA KHARIF CROPS - NOT A GOOD STORY

about 12 years ago

For us city dwellers, where pulses and vegetables means going to the market and getting it, what could probably be the significance of rabi and kharif crops? Do they even mean anything to us? Well, if it does not mean much, it should! Because it is these crops which will decide all the economic data which we track sitting in the comfort of our homes/offices. And it is these crops which will decide the swing of the stock market.

KHARIF CROPS - WAITING FOR THE RAIN GODS

about 12 years ago

For us city dwellers, where pulses and vegetables means going to the market and getting it, what could probably be the significance of rabi and kharif crops? Do they even mean anything to us? Well, if it does not mean much, it should! Because it is these crops which will decide all the economic data which we track sitting in the comfort of our homes/offices. And it is these crops which will decide the swing of the stock market.

MARKET IGONRES WPI AND LAGARDE; FOCUS ONLY ON YELLEN

about 12 years ago

The Wholesale Price Index (WPI) for Feb'15, for the fourth consecutive month came in the negative. It dipped to (-) 2.06% v/s (-) 0.39% in Jan and 5.03% (YoY) as prices of food articles, manufactured items and fuel products fell during the month. Inflation in fuel and power segment declined to

EL NINO MONSTER IS BACK - WHO GETS SCARED? WHO REMAINS NONCHALANT?

about 12 years ago

The El Nino monster is back, raising its ugly head, gnarling and snarling its teeth, threatening the very existence of farmers and their livelihood. With some 60% of the population depending directly or indirectly on agriculture, any forecast of poor monsoon spells doom. The first forecast from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) came in yesterday and it was not good. The IMD stated that monsoon this year could be 93% of the long-period average. Anything which falls in the range of 90-96% is considered

AGRICULTURE - REAL FOOD FOR THOUGHT

about 12 years ago

Food prices drive inflation, the very same inflation based on which RBI Governor makes crucial fiscal decisions; the same inflation which affects profit margins of companies as it has ramifications on raw material prices and the very same inflation which affects the entire economy. So if A=B and B=C, A=C. that's the simple math which we were taught. Applying the very same math thus food prices =economy. And what affects food prices? Agriculture.

TRIGGERS FOR THE MARKET

about 12 years ago

The market is having a dream run, with stocks scaling new highs. Yet there is a quiet sense of disquiet. A feeling that all could come crashing down. At times when there is fear lurking at the back of one's mind, it is always best to stay prepared - forewarned is forearmed. Let's take a quick look at what could probably be the 'panic buttons' which could push the markets downwards. These are broad triggers but working the other way.

YEH RE YEH RE PAUSA, TULA DETO PAISA.....

about 11 years ago

For us, shortage of rain becomes evident only if taps run dry or if veggies start becoming costly. But for majority of India, this year's lack of rain is the main cause of worry and not who murdered whom and who duped whom. It's a question of survival for most while we city people are obsessed about a girl dead three years ago.

RETAIL AND WHOLESALE PRICES DOWN...REALLY?

about 11 years ago

Sometimes, we get so carried away by the work surrounding us that we stop paying attention to what is happening on the ground. Take a visit to buy the monthly food grains and vegetables, you will know aate-dal-ka-bhav, literally! For someone who is earning around Rs.5000 -7000 per month, life has become a huge struggle

RAINS - WHERE 'MIS'FORTUNE WILL CHEER AND BEMOAN?

about 12 years ago

The stock market is capitalist. That's a known truth. When there is a pandemic, stock price of companies making the drug shoots up. For the market, every adversity is an opportunity. But therein lies a message too - look for the silver lining in every cloud. No doubt the rain deficit has come down last week from 34% to 21%

DISMAL Q4FY14 GDP - A RESIDUE OF THE 'OLD' GOVT

about 13 years ago

Sixth consecutive quarter where we have got a less than 5% growth rate and that means that slowdown is now deeply entrenched. This time around when we see all the sectors, most have had a dismal performance and the savior has been the financial sector, like in Q3,

AS DELHI CHOKES, INDIA NEEDS TO INTROSPECT

about 11 years ago

Last year, around the same time, just when the chills of winter were setting in, we read with great amusement the news about Beijing being the most polluted city, the way how smog was forcing people to wear masks. We use the word "amuse" to describe our feeling because we were feeling smug - see how mindless

AGRICULTURE LAND - APPETITE TO ONLY GROW

about 14 years ago

Do you know where the next boom is headed and a boom which will never ever taper off? The food industry. Not processed food but the primary source of all food - agriculture. And China, as usual is buying up as much agricultural land as it can and its target is Australia.

RICE EXPORTS - INDIA IS THE 'KOHINOOR' OF THE WORLD

about 15 years ago

While you tuck into your delicious biryani or eat the humble rice plate - just remember - you are probably eating rice which is set to rule the world! Yes, India is throned as the new King of rice around the world, beating even Thailand and Vietnam.

Q4FY12 GDP - ALARM BELLS RINGING, WAKE UP UPA!

about 15 years ago

Q1FY13 is expected to remain under pressure and if we assume that Europe settles a bit by Q2, even then GDP might not be over 6%. And if Europe does not get resolved, well, then all figures will go for a toss. So expecting a growth rate of 6.5% to 7% at this juncture seems Utopian

CCI - GNASHING ITS TEETH AND SHARPENING ITS CLAWS

about 15 years ago

Cement stocks have cracked up today and suddenly, after a long time, one Govt agency has shown its teeth - the Competition Commission of India (CCI). And it comes as a pleasant surprise for many (those not affiliated to the stock markets) to see that companies can actually be penalized for cartelization.

MONSOON - SAB THEEK HO JAYEGA?

about 15 years ago

And this innate sense of optimism, this sense that everything will turn out right at the end, is probably what drives our Indian Meteorological Department (IMD). Long before the IMD started issuing reports of normal and all-things-looking-good forecasts

RAIN GODS - A BLESSING OR A CURSE THIS YEAR?

about 14 years ago

Rain deficiency is a living nightmare for a country like India where over 60% of the population is directly or indirectly dependent on agriculture. And till now, this year, the rains have played truant. Though the IMD refuses to yet acknowledge the fact

DROUGHT - A BIGGER ISSUE THAN TEAM ANNA OR ECB OR US FED

about 14 years ago

When you watch the TV or read the newspapers - did you anywhere, even remotely get the feeling that India, which is primarily an agrarian country, is staring hard into the face of a drought? Do we know the impact of the word 'drought'?

Q1FY13 GDP - HO, HUM... SNOOZE....ZZZZZ!

about 14 years ago

It's a complete non-event. With Q1FY13 GDP coming at 5.5% the market simply shrugged it off and moved on, shifting its focus to Jackson Hole. This 5.5% number puts things right where they were, not giving RBI much to work on.

RAINS - DARK CLOUDS LOOMING LARGE

about 13 years ago

So what is the silver lining in the prediction by IMD yesterday that rainfall in India this year could fall short? We take a quick look at the sectors which could probably benefit, those which could be hit and those which will be unaffected. Currently India is gripped in election fever and hopes of a new Govt forming at

CABINET RESHUFFLE - WHAT HAPPENS TO THE JOKERS IN THE PACK?

about 14 years ago

A cabinet reshuffle? The thought is more for a completely new cabinet, not same old wine in new bottle. When there are no performers at all, how does it matter which minister handles what; wherever the same ministers are shuffled to, they will remain ineffective. Thus the very idea of shunting the same old non-performing

FOOD SECURITY - WHEN HUNGRY, CAN WE EAT GOLD AND DOLLARS?

about 14 years ago

For us living in the cities, food might never be an issue; yes, the only issue is what to eat and where to eat. But for many across the world, the issue is - where is the food? Yes, in this new world of brands like Apple and Mango, even today, people are dying of starvation and the number of hungry around the world is just growing.

KEJRIWAL - BREAKING THE OMERTA CODE

about 14 years ago

The 'breaking news" expose every week on Wednesday by Kejriwal is somehow becoming a non-issue. Yesterday's expose on the links between India's corporate world and the political leadership, casting aspersions on Reliance Industries, did not really raise any eyebrows.

RABI CROPS AND RURAL CONSUMPTION

about 14 years ago

For us city dwellers, where pulses and vegetables means going to the market and getting it, what could probably be the significance of rabi and kharif crops? Do they even mean anything to us? Well, if it does not mean much, it should! Because it is these crops which will decide all the economic data

SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS - A REASON FOR CELEBRATION

about 14 years ago

Week after week, we talk about capitalistic pursuits so this week, the thought was to look at some people who could have become big in corporate world, earned bags of money but they chose to work, use their education for the benefit of others. Dedicating one's life to the poor and downtrodden is probably the highest form of spiritualism,

AS THE LOTUS BLOOMS, 'AAP" KYA KARENGE?

about 13 years ago

The market is thrilled to bits. The BSE Sensex hit a lifetime high at 21,483.74 in morning trade today and some 30 stocks hit a new 52-week high. The mood is extremely optimistic. But wait, the market celebrating the victory of the Assembly Elections, the lead of BJP, the prospect of Modi becoming the next PM

FARMER SUICIDES - NEEDS AAMIR's 'SATYAMEV JAYATE'!

about 13 years ago

Officially, the Govt recognizes a 'farmer' only when land is registered in his name but when majority of the poverty stricken farmers do not have any land in the name and then are forced to commit suicide, their name simply does not get added to the 'official' list. Thus the 'official'

RABI CROPS - AB RAB HI BACHAYE!

about 11 years ago

While we are all very busy texting and giving opinions of social media about Aamir Khan and the Winter Session, there is a sense of disquiet in the hinterlands of India. They have a life changing situation and could be least bothered about Aamir threatening to leave India. The rural farmers are unnerved. Kharif was bad and now rabi crops too are not looking all that good. There is data to support to this sense of anxiety. The Ministry of Agriculture has put out a report saying that the total area sown for Rabi crops touched 12.3 million hectares by

BUDGET FY17 - GAINERS AND LOSERS

about 11 years ago

Here is a quick look at some of the announcements made in the Budget and how it will impact companies in the various sectors. Some are obvious gainers like always in all Budget, the agri stocks and some are the usual losers, like cigarette companies. Take a look and take stock of where you stand post the Budget.....

SURGING CAR SALES – SUSTAINABLE?

about 6 years ago

Call it pent up demand or the effect of the pandemic or even the lure of easy availability of finance and low interest rates; whatever be the reason, automobile companies are not complaining. Market leader, Maruti reported a 18% (YoY) jump in sales at 1,63,656 units for Oct.

LOOKS LIKE AALL IZZZZ WELLLL

about 8 years ago

Many say that this will now make the Govt uncomfortable as negative food prices will put pressure for policy action to save the farmers. But please loan waiver is not the solution to all farmer issues. This fall in food prices is really nothing extraordinary because there are other food items where prices have not fallen, with some showing a rise too.

AGRI LOAN WAIVER – A POISONOUS HYDRA

about 8 years ago

How to spoil a child rotten? The parent makes the rules and earns the reputation of being the disciplinarian but the grandparents to placate the crying child, inadvertently teach the child to defy the parents, telling them they need not worry, do as you wish because “we control your parents too!”

UNION BUDGET FY20 – A SURGICAL STRIKE, DECIMATING ALL OPPOSITION

about 8 years ago

It is an election budget! There is no doubt on that! And who said that it was an interim budget? It was a full budget! The Budget has tried to keep all the voters happy – farmers, middle class, home owners, corporate India. At the moment it is a little difficult to see who among them is happier

42% INDIA FACING DROUGHT? WHAT? OF COURSE NOT!!

about 8 years ago

We are not yet truly into full blown summer yet; it has just about started. There are two more months to go before raingods come calling. Yet, the worry over monsoon is making the heat wave even more unbearable. Two reports are worrisome – first the real-time drought-monitoring platform and then Skymet's forecast.

SKYMET STICKS OUT ITS NECK

about 8 years ago

The newspapers are full of stories today on the estimation Skymet; it has stuck to its low rainfall report despite IMD saying that it expects it to be normal. The earlier report of Skymet was released on 3rd April and it had predicted a below normal monsoon to the tune of 93%.

THE TRIGGERS THAT LAY AHEAD

about 7 years ago

Now that the political uncertainty is out of the way, everyone is now looking ahead at other triggers. And as the market meanders through a lackluster, listless day of trading, we look at what could possibly be some of the triggers in the coming weeks.

ATMANIRBHAR – WORKING ONLY ON DALAL STREET!

about 6 years ago

Actually, it’s a very ironic situation in the country right now. The pandemic has made a mockery of our entire talk about Atmanirbhar as we are currently getting so much aid from all around the globe. But on the stock markets, we see the Atmanirbhar theme playing out – FIIs are scooting while it’s this new generation of retail investors who are driving the markets

UMBRELLA, RAINY SHOES AND STOCKS

about 8 years ago

Rains have come calling; be it Skymet or the IMD, both have done a good job of predicting the arrival of rains. So can we say that India finally has a weather system which can give us a more correct picture of the monsoon? That in itself is a relief!

IPO BOOM – HOPEFULLY NOT ON THE FACE!!

about 5 years ago

The serpentine queue is only getting longer in the IPO market; all masks are off and the rush is maddening. Traders are spoilt for choice – should they day trade and play in the secondary market or should they put money in the bevy of IPOs – four opened this week and all are looking for listing gains.

RAIN, RAIN, COME AGAIN....

about 5 years ago

While we continue to look, almost with a “blinkers-on” outlook at the stock market and India Inc, its probably essential to look skywards too. What do you see? The dark clouds of rains are there but not thick enough, holding the promise of intermittent rains. In cities, we might be feeling that the floods have come and gone;

BREATHE AND YOU COULD DIE!!!

about 5 years ago

The point here – the common man is affected by so many health issues. Today, living in Indian cities has become hazardous to health, which could cause debilitating and lifelong prevalent diseases. How can we ignore the epidemic of dengue? Really, is India becoming unhealthy to live in?

FARMER NEEDS TO ALWAYS BE AN OPTIMIST

about 5 years ago

Agriculture is core to our very existence. In the years ahead, wars will be fought over food grains and water. If every country makes only steel, iron and automobiles, where will the food we eat come from? But at the very same time, our PM’s pet project, “Make in India” could suffer hugely if food inflation burgeons, impacting manufacturing.

MACRO NUMBERS – THUMBS DOWN

about 5 years ago

Almost each and every company has red-flagged increase in raw material prices and they all are experiencing a squeeze on profits. Many companies have already hiked their own selling prices and many are announcing price hikes now. Consumer prices are seen accelerating further as a higher base of comparison

HALLELUJAH! INDIA IS IN ELECTION MODE!

about 8 years ago

We most certainly have entered the election year! Not to mention the election in agrarian states like Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Fearing a major backlash from farmers across India, yesterday the Modi Govt approved the steepest hike since 2012-13 in minimum support prices (MSP) for paddy...

LOAN WAIVERS – NEEDS TO BE DECLARED AS ILLEGAL!

about 9 years ago

As though it were not enough for us to hang our heads in shame, looking at the mockery of democracy in Karnataka; it becomes worse when the newly sworn in CM, Yeddyurappa, who is yet to prove the majority, announcing that his Govt will give loan waivers to farmers with loans of upto Rs.1 lakh.

MONSANTO INDIA - SOWING SEEDS OF DISCONTENT AND DOUBT

about 11 years ago

Monsanto is having a tough time. Or as many would say, it is reaping today what it had sowed. The very same seeds which it had sold to the farmers have come to haunt the company. Recently the stock was beaten down to pulp, hitting a new 52-week low after the Competition Commission of India (CCI) ordered an investigation into its JV, suspecting the company had abused its dominant position as a supplier of genetically modified (GM) cotton seeds. The CCI had also asked the

GM MUSTARD – WE SEE RED, DEEP RED FIELDS!

about 10 years ago

Sometimes, you cannot but help question the senses or the intellectual abilities of these decision makers in the Govt. The European Union is firmly against it, so is Vladimir Putin and even the newly elected French President Macron has said that he will not allow it in his country and here, we have India giving the go ahead. Did you know that the Govt has granted regulatory approval to GM mustard?

DROUGHT - THE WAY MARKETS WILL LOOK AT IT

about 11 years ago

The stock market is capitalist. That's a known fact. When there is a pandemic, stock price of companies that make the curing drug, shoots up. For the market, every adversity is an opportunity. But therein lies a message too - look for the silver lining in every cloud. The biggest adversity facing the country currently - 10 states have already declared a drought. North Interior Karnataka, Telangana, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Haryana are scorching under drought or drought-like conditions.

WHAT TRIGGERS THE MARKET?

about 11 years ago

To say that the markets are behaving extremely Quixotic is being polite. The wild ups and downs, and sometimes the complete listless trading makes one run around to find reasons. Earlier, it was the other way round - we analyzed the fundamental and macro economic factors and then predicted the way markets would behave the next day. Now, to some extent the same ways hold true but given the way in which Japan, E

AN OPEN LETTER TO PM MODI

about 11 years ago

Last year, when all were looking at your one-year report card, we felt it was too short a time to really judge. Now you have completed two years. One cursory glance at the report card and we fear that if the same trend continues, next year's report card will be marked red. First and foremost, let me feel thankful that this year, at least the last couple of months

Q4FY16 GDP - SUPER DUPER NUMBER!

about 11 years ago

Even while Q4FY16 numbers from India Inc continued to send shock waves, with more companies showing a loss and degrowth than profits and growth, these GDP numbers for Q4FY16 have been a true chart buster. Banks are in losses, rural consumption is poor and IIP too has been bad. Yet, this robust GDP number comes in,

AGRI YIELD AND SOWING - WHEN DATA COLLECTED IS QUESTIONABLE

about 10 years ago

The bountiful harvest of the kharif season was eclipsed by demonetization and the farmers were left with grains but no one to buy as cash itself was in short supply. We had proof of this in the CPI numbers of December, which at 3.41% was the lowest since November 2014. This was on the back of food inflation which came in at 1.07% v/s 2.03%

BUFFETTS ANNUAL LETTER – NUGGETS OF GREAT WISDOM

about 10 years ago

Warren Buffett. The name evokes a sense of respect seldom felt for any investor. And it’s a name which transcends creed, race, country. More than his investments, it is the values which Buffett represents, as a human being, which set him apart. For those like us, who are into the stock market, Buffett is like a guide book

ERR….. CAN THE MIDDLE CLASS EMIs ALSO GET WAIVED OFF?

about 9 years ago

s it time for we, the middle class of India to come to the streets and demand loan waivers? That’s the thought which comes to mind when on one hand, we hear loan waivers being given to farmers and then on the other, see the likes of Mallya sitting like an elite and watching the India-Pakistan cricket match while the banks continue to clear the mess that he has left all in.

CASH CRUNCH – A SENSE OF DÉJÀ VU

about 9 years ago

The memories of demonetization (demon) are still fresh and yet, we now have a new situation where there is no cash – not all over India but in some pockets but this has led to a panic mode where people are once again rushing to ATMs. There are no serpentine queues all over India yet but the fear factor is most certainly in.

RAINS – WHAT IT BRINGS FOR DALAL STREET?

about 9 years ago

The stock market is capitalist. That’s a known truth. When there is a pandemic, stock price of companies making the drug shoots up. For the market, every adversity is an opportunity. But therein lies a message too – look for the silver lining in every cloud. This year, thankfully for India, which looks skywards for growth and

RBI CUTS RATES – MARKET MERELY YAWNS!

about 9 years ago

Damned if you do and damned if you don’t! That in short is how the market reacts to RBI policies. If RBI had not announced a 25 bps cut, the markets would have tanked, expressing deep anguish. And now that RBI has announced a 25 bps rate cut, the market felt, “what’s the big deal?” and citing this as a “no surprise” policy, ended the day in the red.

WHY THE MARKETS FELL TODAY?

about 9 years ago

The BSE today ended 440 points down, at one point going down almost 500 points at 31100.80. some 569 stocks advanced and 1972 stock declined. The moods are somber and the spring to the feet is now heavier. There is an air of uncertainty and no one really knows where the markets are headed.

FORGET RATE CUT; PRAY THERE IS NO HIKE!

about 9 years ago

Sometimes, we get so carried away by the work surrounding us that we stop paying attention to what is happening on the ground. Take a visit to buy the monthly food grains and vegetables; you will know aate-dal-ka-bhav, literally!

INFLATION SOARS AND GROWTH FALLS

about 9 years ago

The sharp rise in inflation was led mainly by food inflation and that was not really a surprise given the way we all have paid for vegetables and fruits in Nov. Cleary it was tomatoes and onions were the ones which led to this surge. Though the prices of these vegetables have come down since the past month

ELECTIONS OVER! CAN WE GET BACK TO WORK?

about 9 years ago

Whew! Finally the elections for 2017 are out of the way. And the outcome is what all knew all along – BJP wins with a whopping majority in both Himachal as well as Gujarat. For all the hype and hoopla created by the media, raising the ‘fear factor’ which was never existent, we cannot help but wonder what stories they will now concentrate on?

UNION BUDGET FY19- IT’S ALL ABOUT BHARAT

about 9 years ago

In one word – good. This is a good Budget. Maybe the first 20 minutes or so sounded more like an Election speech, getting ready for 2019 but from then on, it has been a well thought of, detailed Budget. We talk about rising inequality and inclusive growth – well, this is Budget is all about the farmer and rural India; trying to raise people on the lowest rung of the economic ladder to a higher rung and bringing in more to the ladder at least.
