NSE - WEEKLY NEWS LETTERS


TOP NEWS OF THE WEEK
1. A nervous Dalal Street dreads a selloff by FIIs on BJP's Bihar defeat - Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP)'s disappointing show in the Bihar elections may not go down well with investors in
the near future. The stock market could drop early this week, extending its recent declines, as
investors worry that the political capital available with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to push
pro-business measures will wane following BJP's second consecutive state election defeat.
Comments from US Fed officials hinting at the possibility of rate hikes in December could also
add to Dalal Street's near-term problems. Foreign investors have been watching the Bihar
elections as the outcome had been widely considered a test of Modi's popularity after 17
months at the helm at the centre. "Many foreign investors would now be worried about further
political gridlock in Parliament, as this (the Bihar poll results) could further embolden the
Opposition," said Pratik Gupta, managing director & head equities, Deutsche Bank Group.
2. China policymaker says 6.5% a floor for 2016-2020 annual growth - China is making 6.5
per cent a floor or minimum level for annual economic growth in 2016 through 2020, a senior
Chinese policymaker said on Monday, adding that the figure would be a base for setting a target
for the five-year period. The economic growth target has not been fixed yet, as that is an
objective that needs to be approved by the National People's Congress, Yang Weimin, Vice
Minister of the Office of the Central Leading Group on Financial and Economic Affairs, told a
news conference in Beijing. The National People's Congress holds an annual meeting of
policymakers in March, which sets key economic targets for the year. "The 6.5 per cent itself is
not a target. We still need to wait till next March to determine the final target," Yang said.
China's President Xi Jinping said last week that China needed to maintain annual economic
growth of at least 6.5 per cent over the next five years to realise the country's goal of doubling
2010 GDP and per capita income by 2020.

3. FPIs take out Rs 4,300 cr in just 5 trading days - Foreign investors have pulled out more
than Rs 4,300 crore from Indian capital markets in the past five trading sessions due to muted
quarterly earnings and fears of a possible rate hike by the US Federal Reserve. The move
comes after Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) inflow had hit a 7-month high in October. As per
data compiled by the depositories, net outflow in equities stood at Rs 2,667 crore between
November 2-6, while it was Rs 1,689 crore for debt, translating into a total of Rs 4,356 crore.
Prior to that, FPIs had made a net investment of Rs 22,350 crore last month, making it the

highest investment by these investors since March, when they had poured in Rs 20,723 crore
into Indian markets. The huge inflows during October also reversed the outflows seen during
the past two months. FPIs pulled out over Rs 23,000 crore from the capital markets (equities
and debt) in the past two months on fears of an economic slowdown in China, which triggered
a global sell-off.
4. No impact of Bihar on rating outlook, FII flows: Fitch - Rating agency Fitch has said that
the Bharatiya Janata Party's rout in the Bihar election would not impact the medium-term
economic outlook for India. The agency has also said that foreign investors are unlikely to
review their position. "The BJP's defeat in the Bihar state assembly election does not change
our view on the medium-term economic outlook for India. The loss may complicate politics for
the central government, but we don't expect major implications on the economic front. The
election results are not likely to impact decisions by foreign investors in other states and a big
win for the BJP in Bihar would not have led to sufficient support in the Rajya Sabha anytime
soon anyway," said Thomas Rookmaaker, director in Fitch Ratings' Asia-Pacific Sovereigns
team.
5. India-China ties globally significant, says President Pranab Mukherjee - Relations
between India and China have a regional and global significance, President Pranab Mukherjee
said when Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao called on him, said a statement on Saturday. Li
called on Mukherjee on Friday and the two leaders reviewed ties between India and China ,
according to a Rashtrapati Bhavan statement. Mukherjee pointed out that Li was the first ever
vice president of China to visit India. India-China relations have witnessed all round progress
in recent years, he said. The two countries have expanded high level political exchanges. As
two emerging economies, relations between the two countries have a regional and a global
significance. India-China trade now stands at $70.59 billion.India welcomed Chinese
companies to participate in 'Make in India' campaign, the president said
6. F&O total turnover stood at Rs 2,84,800.07 crore on November 09 - Future & Option
(F&O) total turnover stood at 2,84,800.07 crore on November 09 and the total number of

20,179.89 crore, Stock Futures Rs 28,471.35 crore and Index Options Rs 2,19,755.70 crore,

7. GE, Alstom land $5.6 billion deals to supply Indian railway - General Electric and Alstom
have won contracts worth a combined $5.6 billion to supply India's railways with new
locomotives, as the vast but dilapidated state-owned network looks to foreign companies to
help it modernise. France's Alstom has been picked to supply 800 electric locomotives and will
also build a factory in the eastern state of Bihar, railways spokesman Anil Saxena told Reuters
on Tuesday. The total value of the contract and the new factory is about 200 billion rupees ($3
billion), he said. GE will meanwhile provide the railways with 1,000 diesel locomotives over
the next 11 years, as well as investing $200 million in a plant and maintenance sheds, in a deal
worth $2.6 billion that is the U.S. company's biggest in India.The contracts are two of the first
and the largest to be awarded to foreign firms since India last year allowed 100 percent foreign
direct investment in certain parts of its railways, and comes as New Delhi embarks on a huge
modernisation programme to overhaul the world's fourth-largest train network. "In most of our
growth markets, localisation is typically a key part of any infrastructure deal we do," Jamie
Miller, chief executive officer of GE Transportation, said on Monday.
GE and Alstom won against competition from rival manufacturers such as Canada's
Bombardier Inc and Germany's Siemens.
8. China data, US rate talk weigh on Asia stocks - A further slowdown in Chinese inflation
compounded worries about the world's number-two economy Tuesday, adding to selling
pressure in Asian markets and extending a global retreat as talk of a December US interest rate
hike increases. The below-forecast reading on China's consumer price index -- the weakest
since May -- comes days after Beijing data showed a sharp fall in imports and exports, and is
the latest in a string of reports pointing to a growth slowdown in the country. Officials said
prices rose 1.3 percent last month, down from 1.6 percent year-on-year in September. Also, the
producer price index, a measure of factory gate prices, fell 5.9 percent -matching the previous
two months and marking a six-year low. The news will add to pressure on Beijing as it
struggles to transform the nation's growth model to a more stable one driven by domestic
consumption and away from decades of export reliance and state investment.

9.RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan appointed Vice Chairman on BIS Board - Reserve Bank
Governor Raghuram Rajan has been appointed as Vice Chairman of the board of the Bank for
International Settlements. Headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, BIS fosters international
cooperation amongst central banks with a view to ensuring global monetary and financial
stability. The BIS board meets at least six times a year. The BIS board includes US Federal
Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, Bank of England Governor Mark Carney and Bank of Japan
Governor Haruhiko Kuroda. "Dr Raghuram Rajan...was elected as the Vice-Chairman, the
Board of Directors of the BIS, at its meeting in Basel held yesterday for a period of three years
from November 10, 2015," Reserve Bank of India said in a statement. Rajan joined the BIS
Board of Directors in December 2013. BIS Board Chairman Jens Weidmann welcomed Rajan
in his new role and thanked him for his continued service to the Bank.
10. Moody's: Muted global growth for another two years - Global growth will be lacklustre
over the next two years as the slowdown in China and other emerging markets continues to
weigh on the world economy, Moody's Investors Service said in a report published today.
Moody's forecasts that G20 GDP growth will average 2.8% in 2015-17, only 0.3 percentage
point higher than in 2012-14 and below the 3.8% average recorded in the five years before the
global financial crisis. The rating agency's latest forecasts are broadly unchanged from its last
quarterly Global Macro Outlook in August. "Muted global economic growth will not support a
significant reduction in government debt or allow central banks to raise interest rates
markedly," said the report's author Marie Diron, Senior Vice President, Credit Policy.
"Authorities lack the large fiscal and conventional monetary policy buffers to protect their
economies from potential shocks." The report, "Global Macro Outlook 2015-17: Lacklustre
Global Economic Recovery Through 2017 Diminishes Resilience to Shocks", is now available
on www.moodys.com. Moody's subscribers can access this report via the link at the end of this
press release. The research is an update to the markets and does not constitute a rating action.
11.India, UK announce 9 billion pound worth of deals - India and the UK today announced
deals worth 9-billion pound as they signed a civil nuclear pact and decided to collaborate in the
field of defence and cyber security besides launching a railway rupee bond. British Prime
Minister David Cameron described the relations between the two sides as a "new dynamic
modern partnership" and reiterated his country's support for India's permanent membership of
the UN Security Council."During this visit British and Indian companies are announcing new
collaborations together worth 9 billion pounds," he said at a joint press conference with Modi
here. "We want to become the number one partners to finance the immense economic vision
Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi and make London the centre for off-shore rupee trading with

the launch of 1-billion worth of bonds including the first government-backed rupee
denominated bond," Cameron added.
12. FDI reforms to Revitalise India-UK partnership: CII - The reforms in foreign direct
investment (FDI) are likely to set the tone for a revitalised investment partnership between
India and the UK, industry chamber CII said today. The liberalisation of FDI rules announced
by the government on Tuesday came just two days before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first
visit to the UK. "As Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarks on a state visit to the UK, the FDI
reforms announced by the Government this week are likely to set the tone for a revitalised
investment partnership," CII said in a statement.
13. Invest in India: Prime Minister Narendra Modi to British investors - Calling India an
easy and simple place to business in, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday invited
British investors to invest in his country."We have worked aggressively to make India an easy
and simple place to do business," Modi said while addressing at the Old Library in Guildhall on
the first day of his three-day visit to UK."There is significant potential for India and UK to
further strengthen their economic ties," he said. The hallmark of our strategy now is
policy-driven governance," he said, adding that India was one of the most open countries for
foreign investments.He said the results of the hard work are now visible.

14.Federal Reserve should wait with liftoff to see firm inflation signs: IMF note - The US
Federal Reserve should wait to see firm signs of rising inflation as well as a stronger labor
market before hiking benchmark interest rates, an International Monetary Fund paper said on
Thursday. In a report prepared for the upcoming Group of 20 meeting in Turkey, IMF staff said
spare economic capacity and very low inflation justified keeping monetary policy loose in most
major advanced economies. The contrast between rising US rates and probable further easing in
other developed countries was one risk overshadowing the global outlook, along with a shift in

15. RBI Dec rate cut unlikely but Fed may hike: Morgan Stanley - Inflation for the month
of October was at 4-month high and the September Index for Industrial Production (IIP) came
in at a 4-month low. However, Chetan Ahya, Co-Head-Global Economics & Chief Asia
Economist Morgan Stanley is not overly worried about the down-tick in the Consumer Price
Index (CPI) numbers since it was only 10 basis points higher than their estimate, adding that
IIP numbers have always been volatile. According to the CSO CPI data , the prices in the pulses
and products category rose to a staggering 42.20 percent in October. While the price rise in the

food and beverage category came in at 5.34 percent in October, inflation in cereals and
products was also higher at 1.46 percent.
16. Oil falls to lowest in over 2 months on swelling inventories - US crude fell for the third
session in a row on Friday to trade at the lowest in more than two months, as a relentless climb
in oil stockpiles helped trigger a 10 percent drop in prices since the beginning of November.
Benchmark US crude futures were at USD 41.47 a barrel at 0139 GMT, down 28 cents from
Thursday, when prices tumbled 4 percent on the back of rising US stocks. The contract was
trading at the lowest since Aug 27. Internationally traded Brent crude futures were at USD 44 a
barrel, down six cents. "Crude prices dropped to the lowest level in more than two months after
US oil stockpiles climbed for a seventh week," ANZ bank said on Friday referring to official
US data that saw crude inventories rise by 4.2 million barrels last week against a market
expectation of a 1.3 million barrel gain. ANZ also said that big price rebound this year was
unlikely: "A year end recovery in commodity prices remains unlikely with a stronger USUSD
and EM (emerging market) growth concerns." Oil markets have been dogged by oversupply,
which analysts estimate to be between 0.7 and 2.5 million barrels of oil being produced
everyday without a buyer, and which has resulted in prices falling by almost two-thirds since
June 2014.

companies, Modi vowed "my personal care in making your dreams a reality."
18. India to be $6 trillion economy, buy stocks to capture that growth - Investment is all
about patience, and to create wealth, investors need to endure some pain in the equity market. A
recovery in the economy marked by earnings revival and beginning of the investment cycle will
be the biggest trigger for the domestic equity market, which has been rangebound over the past
few months waiting for fresh triggers to move up. While Asia's third largest economy is
recovering slowly, analysts say it has the potential to touch double-digit growth in a few years.
When that materialises, India's GDP would grow to $5 trillion-$6 trillion in 5 to 10 years from
$2 trillion now.

19. No more retrospective taxes in India: Prime Minister Narendra Modi - Prime Minister
Narendra Modi has said that India will no longer resort to retrospective taxation, while
acknowledging that such steps were adversely affecting the mood of existing and potential
investors. "There were a number of regulatory and taxation issues which were adversely
impacting on the sentiments of foreign investors. We have taken very decisive steps to remove
a number of long pending concerns," the prime minister told the Indo-UK Business Meeting
late on Thursday. We have clearly articulated that we will not resort to retrospective taxation
and demonstrated this position in a number of ways. This includes not going for imposition of
minimum alternate tax on foreign portfolio investors," he said

(WPI) for the month of October is expected to decline (-) 3.8 percent this month, compared to a
decline of negative 4.4 percent on a month-on-month (MoM) basis. The contraction is expected
to come down on a MoM. The core inflation number is also expected to contract, but will
remain in the negative zone. It is expected a decline of around 1.87 percent versus 1.93 percent.
The build-up in inflation rate so far this year has been around 0.28 percent and compare this to
2.61 percent on a year on year (YoY) basis. The decline is 3.5 percent to a decline of 4 percent.
As per the estimates, lesser contraction is expected in all numbers in comparison to the
previous month. They will still be in negative zone, but the contraction will be lesser. The
quarter-on-quarter (Q-o-Q) pick-up or the MoM pick-up is likely to be led by fuel as well as
food inflation. Pulses rose over 40 percent, which is possibly is going to weigh to some effect
on the WPI data as well.

1. Bridging gender gap may add Rs 46 lakh crore to India's GDP in 2025: McKinsey Pushing gender equality can deliver a sizeable additional economic growth and could add Rs 46
lakh crore to India's GDP in 2025, a McKinsey report says.According to the new report by
McKinsey Global Institute titled The Power of Parity: Advancing Women's Equality in India',
bridging the gender gap will have a huge economic impact and the boost could translate into
1.4 per cent per year incremental GDP growth for India. Advancing gender equality can deliver
sizeable additional economic growth and broad-based prosperity to the world -- nowhere more
so than in India," the report said, adding that delivering that impact will require tackling
significant gender gaps in society and driving a national agenda for change that involves all
stakeholders. About 70 per cent of the increase would come from raising India's female

labour-force participation rate to 41 per cent in 2025, from 31 per cent at present. This would
bring 68 million more woman into the economy over this period.

in Bihar assembly elections to 'huge index of opposition unity', Finance Minister Arun Jaitley
on Monday said it will not impact the economic reforms process. "I don't see it as a setback to
the economy... structural reforms will continue. They should continue at a rapid pace," he said.

bigger than NDA, says Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. But be that as it may, the development
agenda of the government will continue, he says. Going ahead, he feels Bihar has huge scope
for growth in terms of power generation and agri industries. "Nitish contested the Bihar
election on the plank of governance and development. In his first 10 years, development
happened at a very elementary level building roads, hospitals, etc. He can't continue to do
just that... If he conitnues on the path of development, he will have the support of the Centre,"

collections were up only 13.5 per cent in April-October 2015-16, finance minister Arun Jaitley
had earlier said. Beside excise duty rises on petroleum, additional steps include withdrawal of
concessions here for automobiles and capital goods, and an increase in the service tax rate in

15. Economy not out of danger zone as inflation up, IIP down - Industrial growth came in
below expectations in September and higher food prices pushed consumer inflation to a
four-month high, marking a twin setback for the economy and dampening hopes of a rate cut
next month. Industrial output growth slowed to 3.6 per cent in September, the lowest in four
months and down sharply from an almost three year high of 6.3 per cent in August, data
released on Thursday showed. The consensus estimate was growth of 4.5 per cent. Separately,

the Consumer Price Index showed retail inflation at 5 per cent in October, accelerating for the
third successive month and higher than expectations of about 4.8 per cent. Rising prices may

challenges including infrastructure and gender gap to realise the potential, Economist
Intelligence Unit has said. "India is the only country that has the potential to change the world
in the 2020s in the way that China changed it in the 2000s. It will probably take a little longer
than that before India really takes off but, even so, it is going to be a global growth powerhouse
of the 2020s," EIU's Chief Economist Simon Baptist said. In a newsletter, Baptist further said
that a key driver could be expanding India's industrial base. Acknowledging that this was
indeed the idea behind the government's ambitious 'Make in India' campaign, a policy to turn

manufacturing do not yet exist in India".

investment in India till October this year soared close to $ 14 billion, registering a steady
growth over last year but the average deal size has come down, says a report by Grant
Thornton. According to the assurance, tax and advisory firm, there were 863 private equity
deals worth $ 13.83 billion during January- October period, as against 497 such transactions
worth $ 10 billion in the same period a year ago. The sharp rise in PE transactions was largely

financial services, telecom and pharma, which attracted large investments. Meanwhile, the

15. Bank credit growth still lingers in H1 as debt market soars - Bank credit growth
continued to disappoint during first half of the current fiscal with an annual growth of just 8.4
per cent at Rs 62.02 trillion, down 20 bps, as per Care Ratings. Debt market growth was,
however, robust with debt issuances increasing 18.6 per cent. Reflecting the lingering pain of
the manufacturing sector, which accounts for 42 per cent of bank credit, the demand remained
negative yet again. Services come second at 23 per cent of the total and agriculture at third with
a share of 13 per cent and personal loans 20 per cent. The decline in the services sector demand
is mainly due to a steeper decline in loan demand from NBFCs which have been raised 16 per
cent more funds from the debt market. This suggests a shift in sourcing funds for NBFCs from
banks to the debt market where interest rates have moved downwards at a faster rate. For the
first half, credit demand would have been much lower had it not been for the agriculture loans
and personal loans segments. Out of the total Rs 62.02 trillion loan of the system in H1, food
credit stood at Rs 1.03 trillion, up 3.6 per cent, while in the year-ago period demand grew by
15.6 per cent, while non-food credit 1.6 per cent to Rs 60.99 trillion, against 1.5 per cent
pick-up in the year ago period.
