Headlines (17 June 2009)

Date: 17 June 2009
Thought for the day

“A mind focused on doubt and fear cannot focus on the journey to victory.”

–Mike Jones

GENERAL

1)Unveiling a collective agenda ranging from food security and financial reform to the creation of a “more diversified international monetary system” and a “more democratic and just multi-polar world order,” Brazil, Russia, India and China launched a new strategic vector with the potential decisively to influence global affairs in the years and decades ahead.

Hindu

ECONOMY

2)IN A major relief to the consumer, the government may not increase prices of petrol and diesel until average prices of crude oil for domestic consumption breaches the $70 a barrel mark, a senior government official said. The average price of crude oil in the current quarter is around $57 a barrel, lower than the $70 a barrel benchmark that would trigger the upward price revision.

ET

CORPORATE / INDUSTRY

 3)Titan Industries, which sells jewellery and watches among others, has set a goal of crossing the $1-billion turnover in the current fiscal. “Nearly 65% of the target is expected to come from gold ornaments,” Tata group said, highlighting the innovation and innovativeness of the company.

ET

4)IVRCL Infrastructures and Projects Ltd(IVRCL) has announced that the buildings, power and roads divisions of the company has bagged several orders together valued at Rs 432.36 crore, including structural works from the Uranium Corporation of India Ltd(UCIL) for their upcoming project in Andhra Pradesh.

BL

 MONEY & BANKING

5)The rupee closed flat against the dollar on Tuesday after recovering most of its losses during the day. The domestic currency opened weaker at 47.90 but recovered to close at 47.73/74, as against the previous close of 47.72.

BL

6)THE country’s fourth largest public sector lender, Canara Bank, on Tuesday said it is willing to acquire a bank in India to increase its size and presence. “Consolidation is the only way to grow and
 we are willing to takeover ( a bank),” Canara Bank chairman and managing director A C Mahajan said.

FE

7)The merger of Catholic Syrian Bank with Federal Bank is expected to be through in a month. According to reliable sources close to the deal, the boards of directors of both the banks will meet in a month’s time to give their consent. The acquisition price will be fixed then.

BL

8)In a first of its kind move, India’s largest urban co-operative bank – Saraswat Co-operative Bank – plans to make 50,000 of its depositors into shareholders in the company.

INSURANCE

9)With the Insurance Laws(Amendment) Bill awaiting Parliamentary approval, Max India, Analijit Singh’s flagship company, has started discussions on divesting 23 per cent out of its 74 per cent share-holding in Max New York Life Insurance to its foreign partner.

BS

 MARKETS

10)The market made a smart recovery during the final hours of the trading and closed the day above the dotted line, after witnessing huge selling pressure and volatility during the intra-day trading. The
 30-share Sensex added 82.39 points, or 0.55%, to close the day at 14,957.91 points. The broader Nifty of the NSE gained 33.80 points, or 0.75%, to end the day at 4,517.80 points. Domestic markets
 started the day with negative gap, following weak cues from the Asian markets.

FE

11)The wealth management business is back in the limelight after suffering quite badly in the ongoing economic downturn. Now, Indian brokerages are aggressively expanding in the wealth management
 space to take advantage of the rising number of high networth individuals (HNIs) and ultra high networth individuals(UHNIs) in the country. Also, the recent turnaround in the stock market is giving confidence to these two categories of investors to invest.

BS

12)ENTRY of new players and inclusion of varied asset classes like commodities, currencies and power beyond the equity is expected to drive the domestic exchanges turnover to $10 trillion by financial year 2014, from the current turnover of $4 trillion. According to IDFC-SSKI research report on domestic bourses titled Indian Exchanges – The Final Countdown’, the growth in the turnover of domestic exchanges would be spearheaded by the nascent but high potential commodity exchanges.

FE

MUTUAL FUNDS

13)Birla Sun Life Mutual fund on Tuesday said it has launched iSIP or Internet-based SIP(systematic investment plan), which will enable investors to start their SIP investments online. Investors can purchases, renew SIP and have the option to cancel it online.

FE

COMMODITIES

14)International Multi Commodity Exchange(IMCX), the new commodity bourse expected to go live in August, has asked the regulator Forward Markets Commission(FMC) to consider extended trading hours for products such as gold, silver, crude oil, etc and allow delivery of copper. Local commexes close at 11:30 PM in summer and 11:55 PM in winter even though electronic trading in precious metal and energy continues round-the-clock in bourses such as Nymex and its division Comex, on
 which gold and silver are traded. This puts the Indian trader at a disadvantage to his overseas counterpart, as he loses out in the events of volatility in international markets after local bourses close.

ET

15)Gold rose the most in more than a week as oil rallied and the dollar weakened, increasing demand for the metal as an alternative investment. Silver, platinum and palladium also gained. Gold futures for August delivery rose $10.50, or 1.1 per cent, to $938 an ounce at 11:08 a.m, on the New York Mercantile Exchange’s Comex division.

BL

16)THOUGH turmeric futures on the National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange(NCDEX) hit 2% lower circuit on Tuesday, price outlook may remain firm over the next few days on poor advancement of monsoon in south.

FE

ET

 COMMUNICATIONS

20)SUBSCRIBER numbers in India’s wireless story are losing their relevance today as far as determining the industry position of a service provider. It will be revenues and not subscriber numbers that could decide the pecking order in the world’s fastest-growing telecom market.

BL

 INTERNATIONAL

BL

25)US BUILDERS broke ground on more houses than forecast in May, offering a sign that the industry’s slump, now in its fourth year, may be approaching an end. The 17% increase in housing starts to an annual rate of 532,000 followed a 454,000 pace the prior month, the Commerce Department said on Tuesday in Washington.

ET
