UPA wins vote on FDI in retail in Rajya Sabha

(Reuters) - The government won a second parliament vote on Friday on allowing foreign supermarkets into the country, paving the way for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to press ahead with more reforms, including freeing up a cash-strapped insurance sector.

While the Rajya Sabha vote was symbolic, the government's victory is a boost for its push to implement a controversial economic reform agenda that is seen as crucial to reviving growth and reducing a bloated fiscal deficit.

The government had already won a vote on retail reform in the Lok Sabha two days earlier. The policy will allow global retailers such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc to set up shop in the country's $450 billion retail sector, and is aimed at drawing more overseas investment and taming inflation.

Although both votes were non-binding, defeat would have piled pressure on Singh to roll back the measure.

Once again, Singh's fragile coalition government relied on Friday on the outside support of Samajwadi Party (SP) and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) based in Uttar Pradesh, underscoring the extent to which it is at the mercy of powerful regional groups to push through legislation.

SHOUTING AND WALKOUTS

In the shrinking window before a general election that is due in just over a year, Singh's minority government wants to push reforms such as allowing more foreign investment in its insurance and pension sectors, and simplifying tax laws.

Barack Obama re-elected U.S President

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama won a second term in the White House on Tuesday, overcoming deep doubts among voters about his handling of the U.S. economy to score a clear victory over Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

Americans chose to stick with a divided government in Washington, however, by leaving the U.S. Congress as it is, with Obama's fellow Democrats controlling the Senate and Republicans keeping the House of Representatives.

After a long, bitter and expensive campaign, the 51-year-old Obama began trying to bring Americans together in a victory speech before thousands of cheering supporters in Chicago. Accused by Romney throughout the campaign of taking a partisan tone, Obama vowed to reach out to Republicans in his new, four-year term.

"You voted for action, not politics as usual," Obama said, calling for compromise and pledging to work with leaders of both parties to reduce the deficit, to reform the tax code and immigration laws, and to cut dependence on foreign oil.

The nationwide popular vote remained extremely close with Obama taking about 50 percent to 49 percent for Romney after a campaign in which the candidates and their party allies spent a combined $2 billion. But Obama comfortably won the electoral votes needed in the state-by-state system used to choose U.S. presidents.

Obama scored impressive victories across the country, so much so that the big build-up over Ohio, Virginia and Florida fizzled. Obama reached the 270 electoral votes needed for election even without those three states, rolling up wins in Democratic strongholds and carrying Nevada, Iowa and Colorado.

In the end, he also won Ohio and Virginia and was ahead in Florida, where votes were still being counted.

Romney, the multimillionaire former private equity executive, came back from a series of campaign stumbles to make it close after besting the president in the first of three presidential debates.

The 65-year-old former Massachusetts governor conceded in a gracious speech delivered to disappointed supporters at the Boston convention center.

"This is a time of great challenge for our nation," Romney told the crowd. "I pray that the president will be successful in guiding our nation."

Its recommended by Siddharth Bhamre of Angel Broking that do not book profits so early because the market seems much bullish and gaining in coming weeks, he is also bullish on Nifty and continues to hold long positions despite more than 400 points up move seen in the Nifty.

He says that Those already holding long positions should go with the momentum and should not book profits now . "Everybody is waiting to get into this market at dips. According to us, that dip may not come till 5,750-5,800," he explained.

He suggests buying the 5,600 call option for those how have missed out the opportunity to enter the market. However, rise in volatility might lead to some correction, he cautioned.

We have been bullish since 5,250 odd levels. We continue to hold on to long positions despite more than 400 points move that happened in Nifty. We have reasons to be biased towards positive momentum despite the market going up significantly.

First, there is a strong left out feeling in the market, be it domestic, some of the FIIs and especially weaker hands in the market, everybody is now bullish, expecting momentum to continue, but there is a consensus. Usually, we go against the consensus, but this time we want to go with the consensus because consensus is coming with a caveat that they will buy on dips.

Secondly, this is to the audiences who have missed out, still we would suggest buy 5,600 call option and trade with positive bias in this market. Look at the FII figure from liquidity perspective. These figures are not saying that there would be a 100 point correction and then you will get a chance to move into this market.

Stock Intraday Trend : Sensex | Nifty

Sensex leaps on fuel price hike, QE3...Nifty tops 5500

NEW DELHI : The 50-share Nifty index is expected to open higher and may even hit its crucial psychological level of 5,500 on Friday tracking positive global cues after US central bank initiated another aggressive stimulus program to stimulate growth in the world’s largest economy.

At 07:30 a.m., Nifty India stock futures in Singapore were up 105 points at 5,551.50, indicating a strong opening on the domestic market.

Investors will keep a close eye on monthly inflation data which will be out later today. OMCs will also be in focus after a Cabinet committee raised price of heavily subsidised diesel by Rs 5/liter on Thursday to balance its fiscal deficit situation.

According to ET Now Poll, WPI inflation for August is expected to come at 6.9 per cent as compared to 6.87 per cent in July 2012. Core inflation which has gone up in the previous month is likely to remain above 5 per cent for the month of August also.

There is ample liquidity in system and with core inflation sustaining above the desired levels, the Central Bank is likely to stick to anti-inflationary stance, say analysts.

Majority of analysts do not expect the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to cut interest rates in 17 September policy meet.

Sudip Bandyopadhyay, MD & CEO, Destimoney Securities Pvt. Ltd is of the view that if inflation remains at high levels then we have a problem of stagflation and somewhere we have to take policy action to come out of this complete chaos.

“Though, we are not expecting any major policy decision from RBI on Monday, but we will continue to hope against some kind of easing that will come from the central bank which will provide a boost to the market and the industry,” he added.

Rise in diesel prices would directly translate into higher inflation atleast in the short term for the economy. However, putting cap on subsidies was required to bring down the burgeoning fiscal deficit situation of the economy, which most analysts feared might lead to rating downgrade for India.

Ratings agencies Standard & Poor’s and Fitch said earlier this year that a widening deficit had put India on the brink of losing the investment grade status.

Overnight, US stocks ended higher after US Federal Reserve announced to buy $ 40 billion worth of mortgage back securities per month.

“As part of a new round of quantitative easing, the Fed said it would buy $ 40 billion of mortgage debt per month to keep borrowing rates low and would keep its benchmark interest rates “exceptionally low” until the middle of 2015,” Reuters reported.

The Dow Jones industrial average ended up 206.51 points, or 1.55 per cent, at 13,539.86. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was up 23.43 points, or 1.63 per cent, at 1,459.99. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 41.51 points, or 1.33 per cent, to 3,155.83.

Asian shares rose on Friday after the U.S. Federal Reserve announced an aggressive new stimulus plan to revive growth in the world’s largest economy.

“The Fed’s move will likely accelerate the risk-positive momentum at work since the European Central Bank’s bond-buying scheme to get borrowing costs down for euro zone members was approved by Germany’s constitutional court,” said a Reuters report.

Japan’s Nikkei 225 index was trading 1.4 per cent higher at 9125.17 and Hong Kong ‘s Hang Seng index was trading higher at 20,530.12, up 2.4 per cent.

South Korea’s Kospi index was trading 2.4 per cent higher at 1,997.45. China ‘s Shanghai index was trading 0.4 per cent higher at 2,118.12.

Indian shares hit 7-mth closing high; airlines jump on FDI hopes

Wed Sep 12, 2012 4:57pm

BSE rises 0.82 pct, NSE gains 0.76 pct

* Potential airline measures cement reform hopes

• Fed meeting outcome on Thursday seen key

By Abhishek Vishnoi

MUMBAI, Sept 12 (Reuters) - India's BSE index rose for a sixth consecutive session to close at its highest since Feb. 23 on rising hopes for government reforms after the aviation minister signalled the country was moving to allow foreign direct investment into the sector.

Allowing foreign carriers to invest in the sector would help cement expectations for further government action, with investors also hopeful India will open up the multi-brand retail sector and raise fuel prices to lower its subsidy burden.

Gains in local shares on Wednesday also tracked a risk-on mood globally, after Germany's top court backed the legality of the euro zone bailout funds, although with conditions.

Investors are also hopeful the Federal Reserve will announce new U.S. asset purchases when it concludes its two-day meeting on Thursday, although some analysts warned of the dangers of relying on liquidity that is driven by global risk factors.

"The path is laid for FDI in aviation to go through,"said Ambareesh Baliga, chief operating officer at Way2Wealth Securities.

"International cues such as German court ruling are triggers which will take the market up for a while. But markets cannot sustain those higher levels unless you have a fundamental domestic reason to keep it up," Baliga added.

India's benchmark BSE index rose 0.82 percent to end at 18,000.03 points, just above the psychologically key level of 18,000 points.

The 50-share NSE index rose 0.76 percent to mark its highest close since March 14.

Data on Wednesday showing India's industrial output rose 0.1 percent in July, just below expectations for a 0.3 percent increase, had little impact in markets.

Instead, investors cheered comments from India's civil aviation minister Ajit Singh saying he had talked to most of the government's political allies on opening up the sector, raising hopes action could be near.

Policy reforms are seen key for a country facing ratings downgrades into sub-investment grade.

HSBC downgraded Indian stocks to "underweight" from "neutral" on Wednesday, citing the government's lack of progress in fiscal or structural reforms as a key factor.

AIRLINES SURGE

SpiceJet Ltd gained 7.12 percent, its biggest percentage gain since Aug. 7.

Under current rules, foreign airlines are barred from buying stakes in domestic carriers, although foreign investors are allowed to hold a cumulative 49 percent.

Kingfisher Airlines, which has been reeling under heavy debts, advanced 8 percent, while Jet Airways rose 4.85 percent.

Shares in Tata Motors gained 5.38 percent, marking a sixth day of gains on anticipation of a boost in sales when the auto maker releases a fourth-generation Range Rover in October.

Shares in Gujarat State Petronet Ltd gained 3.8 percent, after Petroleum & Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) cuts tariffs to transport gas via high pressure networks in the state of Gujarat by less than expected.

Apollo Tyres jumped 6.46 percent to 99.65 rupees, after Bank of America-Merrill Lynch raised its target price to 135 rupees, predicting profit margins would continue to improve on the back of a better sales mix and pricing discipline, among other factors.

However, shares in Reliance Mediaworks dropped 2.6 percent on worries about its loan exposure after Digital Domain Media Group Inc filed for bankruptcy protection. Shares in the Indian unit of Siemens fell 2.7 percent after the German company sold 1.1 pct of its stake via 8 block deals.

Siemens had been looking to sell about a 1.2 percent stake in a deal meant to raise up to $50 million, according to a term sheet seen by Reuters on Tuesday. For more stocks on the move, double click
