BSE Sensex to Open Up on Asia, Inflation Data Key

January 14, 2010 iMoney Leave a comment

The BSE Sensex is likely to open higher on Thursday, helped by a rebound in global markets, with investors waiting for inflation data in the middle of the day for clues as to when and how monetary policy will be tightened.

Wholesale prices are forecast to have rise 7.31 percent in December from a year earlier, the median forecast in a Reuters poll of 22 economists showed, up from a rise of 4.78 percent in November.

A higher-than-expected inflation figure could put pressure on banks, such as State Bank of India and ICICI Bank, on concerns it could see the Reserve Bank act aggressively to tighten policy at its Jan. 29 review.

“We should start higher, looking at the rise elsewhere in Asia. But, it depends on inflation data later. It seems to be going out of control,” said Arun Kejriwal, director of research firm KRIS.

Asian shares were up. The MSCI’s measure of Asian markets other than Japan had risen 1.1 percent at 0238 GMT, and Japan’s Nikkei had gained 1 percent.

Nifty India stock futures in Singapore were up 0.3 percent, pointing to a higher start in the domestic market. Read More at stock market news

December 31, 2009 iMoney Leave a comment

Infrastructure, telecoms and health are expected to be among growth sectors for the Indian economy next year, ICICI Bank Ltd (ICBK.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) Chief Executive Chanda Kochhar said in an interview published on Tuesday.

India’s three-year investment of about $250 billion for industrial and infrastructure development will be a “growth multiplier”, she told business daily Il Sole 24 Ore.

“In terms of organic growth, cement, steel and everything involved in infrastructure looks good, from power plants to highways,” Kocchar said.

“In terms of inorganic growth, the spectrum is very broad. The first things that come to mind are health and telecommunications.”

She said rural India was the next factor for growth by private banks such as ICICI, India’s No.2 lender.

US STOCKS-Wall St Seen Down as Inflation Fears Creep

December 16, 2009 iMoney 3 comments

Wall Street was headed for a lower open on Tuesday as producer prices rose more than expected, igniting fears of inflationary pressures, and a gauge of manufacturing activity in New York state unexpectedly plunged in December.

Investors worried that rising prices would prompt the Federal Reserve to revise its low-interest-rate policy, which has been partly responsible of increased risk-taking.

“Both PPI and the Empire State manufacturing survey have an intertwining theme and that is increasing prices. That is the one thing the market is most fearful of,” said Burt White, managing director and chief investment officer at LPL Financial in Boston.

“The market’s worried about what’s going to make the Fed put the brakes on. Everyone’s on inflation watch.”

S&P 500 futures SPc2 fell 4.4 points and were below fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures DJc2 dropped 36 points, and Nasdaq 100 futures NDc2 lost 7.25 points.

The Labor Department said the producer price index rose 1.8 in November, much more than the forecast 0.8 percent rise.

The New York Fed’s Empire State general business conditions index fell to 2.55 in December from 23.51 in November.

The U.S. dollar strengthened against the euro and the dollar index .DXY rose 0.6 percent to its highest level since early October.

The Fed will kick off a two-day policy-setting meeting later Tuesday, with a statement on the economy expected around 2:15 p.m. EST (1915 GMT) on Wednesday. (Additional reporting by Leah Schnurr; editing by Jeffrey Benkoe)

BSE Sensex seen up; Tata Motors, ACC watched

December 2, 2009 iMoney 1 comment

The BSE Sensex is expected to start higher on Wednesday, with cement makers in focus after most of them reported a rise in November shipments.

Firmer world markets, robust auto sales and strong September quarter GDP data would all underpin investor confidence, traders said.

Aditya Birla Group, which is combining its cement operations under group firm UltraTech Cement, said on Tuesday cement shipments rose 15.3 percent in November from a year earlier.

But rival ACC said its shipments in the month declined to 1.66 million tonnes from 1.73 million tonnes a year ago.

Top vehicles maker Tata Motors, which hit an 18-month high on Tuesday, will be on the radar after it said its sales in November rose 65 percent.

Mahindra Satyam will be watched after the outsourcer said it was aware of Indian investigators’ fresh charges against its former chairman and nine others, accusing them of forging board resolutions to get loans, but its potential impact was yet to be assessed.

The MSCI’s measure of Asian markets other than Japan was up 1.2 percent by 0322 GMT, while Japan’s Nikkei edged 0.2 percent lower.

The Nifty India stock futures in Singapore were up 0.3 percent, indicating the domestic market may open higher.

U.S. Bancorp Gets $18 Bln Seized Bank Assets

October 31, 2009 iMoney Leave a comment

U.S. Bancorp on Friday acquired nine banks held by FBOP Corp, picking up $18.4 billion in assets after regulators seized a major Los Angeles lender and eight other banks in the latest failures to emerge from the financial crisis.

Among the banks Minneapolis-based U.S. Bancorp acquired was Los Angeles-based California National Bank, taken over by regulators on Friday in what the Los Angeles Times called the fourth-largest U.S. bank failure this year.

Bank failures in 2009 hit 106 last week, their highest annual level since 1992, with more expected to come. The largest institution to fail in the current financial crisis was Washington Mutual, which boasted $307 billion in assets when it was shuttered in September 2008.

Visibly worried employees lined up to file into Cal National’s head offices in the heart of a deserted downtown Los Angeles on a chilly Friday evening, where they had their employers’ fate explained to them, regulators said.

“We’re getting ready to turn everything over to U.S. Bank,” said Roberta Valdez, a spokeswoman for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, which helped supervise the transfer of FBOP’s assets. “They will continue to operate as normal in the interim,” she added, referring to lenders acquired from FBOP.

U.S. Bancorp — which has been buying up distressed assets this year — is picking up eight other lenders once owned by FBOP, a private Illinois group with over $18 billion in assets that owns banks in Texas, Illinois, Arizona and California.

Cal National is FBOP’s largest bank by branches. Others that will now go under the U.S. Bancorp umbrella included BankUSA, Citizens National Bank, Madisonville State Bank, North Houston Bank, Pacific National Bank, Park National Bank, San Diego National Bank, and the Community Bank of Lemont.

“This transaction is consistent with the growth strategy that we have outlined many times in the past, which includes enhancing our existing franchise through low-risk, in-market acquisitions,” said Rick Hartnack, vice chairman of consumer banking for U.S. Bancorp.

Mutual fund investment – what to head off

August 10, 2009 iMoney 2 comments

The equity markets are on the rise. New fund offers are again the rage. And once again, you are receiving solicitations from your so-called financial advisors to invest in mutual funds so that you don’t miss the boat. At times like these it’s important to keep some tips in mind.

1. Invest in Funds backed by experienced Asset Management Companies and Asset Managers: If you had the choice, you’d probably go to an experienced doctor rather than someone fresh out of medical school. Same with mutual funds. Invest through an experienced asset management company and a fund manager, both of whom have operating and investment history in India.

2. Cheapest is not the best: This is probably the most common and silly mistake that investors make when investing in mutual funds. For some reason they think that a Rs 10 net asset value (NAV) is better than a Rs 20 existing fund of the same category and type because the former is cheaper.

What matters is the amount of money you are putting in. Rs 1 lakh put into a either fund will grow the same amount assuming that both funds invested in the same underlying securities. So, whether Rs 10 grows to Rs 12, a 20% increase, or Rs 20 goes to Rs 24, it’s the same thing.

3. Don’t invest in a new fund if a previous one of the same category exists: At the time of a new fund’s launch, there is a lot of hype created through advertising aimed at enticing you to invest.

However, there might be a fund of this type already existing, which might be a better option because it has had an operating history for a while, as well as proven risk management experience in that category. You are better off avoiding the new fund at launch and investing in the older fund of the same category.

4. Understand your risk appetite: Not all medicines are suited to all patients. Some patients can handle a higher dosage depending upon their age, their allergies, their size etc.

Similarly, not all mutual funds are meant for everyone. Before you invest blindly, understand the risks involved and evaluate whether you can handle the risks associated with the fund and its underlying exposure.

5. Build a strong foundation: Just like a house needs a strong foundation, so does your mutual fund portfolio. You need to make sure you have a safe and stable exposure to index funds, large cap diversified funds before you start exposing yourself to sector and industry specific funds, which are usually of a higher risk.

6. Be realistic about returns: Trees don’t grow to the sky, and neither do stock market returns. Be realistic about what returns you can expect. Your money is unlikely to double in the next two years through mutual funds, and don’t fall for the salesmanship of your advisor.

7. Give your money the chance to compound: By chopping and changing your portfolio and getting in and out of funds frequently you are disturbing the process of compounding and not giving your money the ability to grow. Be patient, even if in the short term a fund might not be doing well.

The top IT companies used to keep Satyam in their list as one of the competitors. Since, the scam had hit this IT Company; all other have removed it from their list. This has come as a serious blow to the reputation of the company and people have been reacting on it. They have been saying that it is the correct decision, as the fraudulent company should not be a part of the rivals list. In the recent past, Satyam has also been removed from the list of Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). In this way, Satyam seems to be losing on every front of corporate world.
