Market Brief
Markets on Friday ended with marginal gains and the week ended on almost flat note. This is the third
week that markets have not registered any substantial gain or fall, signaling indecisiveness in the
market, this is primarily due to mixed news flows with some positives and few negatives. Poor exports
despite weakening rupee are a bad signal but at the same time the imports have also fallen. Rising
crude oil prices and increase in domestic petrol and diesel prices are worry-some. With important
reform bills still pending in the Parliament is also a cause of concern in the near term. Optimism in the
Global markets have given some solace to our market and restricted a complete sell-off.
Indian equity markets are very critically poised and have been trading in a tight range between 8000
and 8360 on the Nifty. Further news flows will determine the direction for the market, although, short
and the medium term trend are down, hence, bad or negative news flows will bring down the markets
sharply. In terms of technical level, a close below 8000 will prove very fatal for the market and it will
witness a prolong correction and eventually Nifty could test 7400 – 7500, which is also justified from
price to earning perspective. However, in event of positive news flows, if the market breaks out 8360,
it will witness a swift throwback rally that would initially test 8500.
Investors are advised to exercise caution and as suggested earlier, exit from under performing stocks
and remain at-least 20 to 25 percent in cash. Deep corrections should certainly be used for buying
since the bull market is still intact, it is only the short and the intermediate trend which is down, and is
instrumental in keeping the markets jittery and volatile.

News:
India at 100 on human capital index, Finland leads pack
India has been ranked at a lowly 100 position on the global
Human Capital Index, which measures countries on
development and deployment of human capital. Finland has
topped the 124-nation list. India is ranked lower than all its
BRICS peers — Russia, China, Brazil and South Africa — and
smaller neighbours like Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Bangladesh. But
Pakistan follows at 113. In the top 10 of the list, compiled by
the World Economic Forum, Finland is followed by Norway,
Switzerland, Canada, Japan, Sweden, Denmark, the
Netherlands, New Zealand and Belgium. WEF said the list has
been compiled on the basis of 46 indicators about "how well
countries are developing and deploying their human capital,
focusing on education, skills and employment". "It aims to
understand whether countries are wasting or leveraging their
human potential," it added. On India, the report said that
although the educational attainment has improved markedly
over different age groups, its youth literacy rate is still only
90%, well behind the rates of other emerging economies.
"India also ranks poorly on labour force participation rate due
to its large informal sector," WEF added. The major countries
ranked above India include France (14th rank), the US (17), the
UK (19) and Germany (22). Among BRICS nations, Russia comes
on the top at 26th position, followed by China (64), Brazil (78)
and South Africa (92).
The countries with a better score than India also include
Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyz Republic, Chile, the Philippines,
Serbia, Mongolia, the UAE, Macedonia, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan,
Mauritius, Barbados, Brazil, Guatemala, Honduras, Cambodia
and Tunisia. WEF said 14 countries have reached 80% human
capital optimisation while 38 score 70-80%.
NEWS PERSPECTIVE
SEBI permits Madras Stock Exchange to exit business
Market regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)
has passed an order providing exit to the 78-year old Madras
Stock Exchange Limited (MSE). The exchange will be 14th Stock
Exchange to exit under SEBI's exit policy, which came into effect
in May 2012. The policy mandated Regional Stock Exchange
(RSEs) a minimum net-worth of Rs 100 crore and an annual
trading of Rs 1,000 crore and gave two years to comply or exit
the business. In May 2014, MSE made a request to SEBI for its
exit as a stock exchange after an Extra Ordinary General
Meeting of the shareholders, a special resolution was passed for
voluntary exit. On Thursday, Rajeev Kumar Agarwal, whole time
member, SEBI, passed an Order, in which he stated that from
the valuation report and undertaking of MSE, it is observed that
all the known liabilities have been brought out and there is no
other future liability that is known as on date. MSE is one of the
oldest RSEs in India and has been one of the largest in terms of
cash volumes in the 90s.
According to the Section 13 arrangement with National Stock
Exchange (NSE), the collective turnover of the MSE listed
companies which are trading at NSE platform, in 2012-13 was at
around Rs 8,000 crore and this was expected to increase to Rs
19,907 crore in 2017-18. Industry experts questioned about the
future of small investors. They noted there were 250
companies, which are fully compliant and mostly MSMEs, while
half of them have listed in NSEs and other exchanges, the
balance didn't shift leaving small time investors, who have
invested a few thousand rupees and to around 50 brokers who
depend on this exchange for survival & livelihood?.Since these
companies have become unlisted there is no reverse book
building process and prices of these companies have been
quoted much below the price.
Taking advantage of the situation a private agency sent out a
letter to the shareholders. One such letter, to buy shares of a
Chennai based company is is available with Business Standard,
stating that the company "is ready to make a best offer if the
shareholder is wish to sell and please to make a best offer, if
you wish to sell your holdings. We will send you payment by
person. Kindly note that this offer is for a limited quantity of
shares required by us. You therefore request to respond
immediately to take our attractive offer and payment terms".
Insiders at MSE said prospect for the Exchange to survive was
"very good" but SEBI's norms has "forced" MSE to exit. He
claimed MSE can do trading volumes of around Rs 1,000 crore
per annum, if the trading platform would have gone on stream.
Earlier senior officials from MSE said three major challenges it
faces --upgradation of technology which is getting outdated
fast, marketing and expansion and to meet SEBI's mandate. To
meet these challenges, the Exchange can raise around Rs 100
crore from a Private Equity or through a private placement.
MSE had an in-principle tie-up with NSCCL for clearing and
trading operations and EOI received from companies listed with
MSE to trade on the new platform. In the last five years,
collective trading volume of the 60 companies, which are listed
in MSE and were allowed to trade on NSE, estimated to be
around Rs 25,000 crore.

Rate-cut hopes drive markets higher; Nifty ends above 8,250
Benchmark indices finished higher on hopes of economic reforms as the government defends the key reforms coupled
with an anticipated rate-cut in the view of the softening inflation data. The 30-share Sensex gained 118 points to end at
27,394 and the 50-share Nifty climbed 38 points to finish at 8,262. Market breadth on the BSE ended positive with 1,455
advances against 1,233 declines.
Going ahead, analysts expect this range-bound movement in markets to end over the next few sessions. "For past two
weeks, the Nifty has been trading roughly in a broader range of 8,100-8,300 while stocks are witnessing erratic moves in
both directions due to prevailing earning season. We expect this prevailing uncertainty to end in the coming sessions with
either side decisive break in the index. Meanwhile, uphold stock specific trading approach and keep a balanced trading
portfolio," said Jayant Manglik, President-retail distribution, Religare Securities in a post market note.
“Markets ended the day and the week on a positive note. Bargain hunting at lower levels helped markets gain about 1%
for the week. On-schedule debt repayment by Greece eased related concerns which also led to cooling of US bond yields,
which had hit highs early in the week. Delay in passing the GST Bill had an impact on the markets, we believe. Going
ahead, remaining quarterly results, distribution of monsoon and pick-up in investment activity, if any, will dictate market
sentiment and so will expectations of a US rate hike,” points out Dipen Shah, Head of Private Client Group Research, Kotak
Securities.

`
