I had
mentioned in last week’s closing report that Nifty Sensex might head higher.
The major indices were marginally up during the week. Investors were on a
wait-and-watch mode regarding the US Federal Reserve’s decision on the interest
rates. Once the Fed decided to leave the interest rates unchanged, the major
indices rallied on Thursday. The trends of the major indices in the course of
the week’s trading are given in the table below: The Total Investment & Insurance

Positive
global sentiments buoyed the Indian stock markets during the late-afternoon
trade session on Monday. However, upcoming global events such as monetary
policy announcements from major economies and profit booking at higher levels,
capped gains. Buying was witnessed in metal, banking and IT stocks. The BSE
market breadth was tilted in favour of the bulls -- with 1,494 advances and
1,244 declines. On the NSE, there were 786 advances, 673 declines and 85
unchanged. Initially, the benchmark indices opened on a firm note in sync with
their Asian peers. However, investors were seen cautious ahead of the US Fed's
FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting, which was scheduled for September
20-21. Investors felt that a hike in US interest rates could potentially lead
FPIs (Foreign Portfolio Investors) away from emerging markets such as India. It
was also expected to dent business margins as access to capital from the US
would become expensive. The Total Investment

The
benchmarks opened down, on Tuesday, following negative global cues and caution
ahead of major global financial events. Selling pressure was witnessed in
automobile, capital goods and banking stocks. The BSE market breadth was tilted
in favour of the bears -- with 1,513 declines and 1,197 advances. On the NSE,
on Tuesday, 548 advances, 922 declines and 85 unchanged. Besides, investors
were cautious ahead of the US Fed's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meet
and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) monetary policy review announcements. Most IT
stocks traded down. Banking stocks were traded with mixed sentiments, while
auto stocks traded down. The Total Investment

Indian
equity markets succumbed to profit booking to close the day's trade on a flat
note on Wednesday. Selling pressure was witnessed in FMCG and banking stocks.
The markets were largely positive as hopes of a rate-hike turned down in the US
Fed meet enhanced the risk-taking appetite, according to market analysts.
However, investors were not willing to push prices higher as caution still
prevails ahead of the FOMC's final decision. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) decision
(to keep its policy balance rates unchanged) did not have much impact on the
domestic markets. Initially on Wednesday, the benchmark indices opened on a flat-to-positive
note on the back of positive Asian markets. The CNX Nifty traded with firm
sentiments on buying support from traders. Most IT stocks traded firm on
recovery in USD/INR futures. Auto and oil-gas stocks also traded higher. On the
NSE, there were 731 advances, 725 declines and 67 unchanged. The BSE market
breadth was tilted in favour of the bulls -- with 1,413 advances and 1,314
declines.
The
Bank of Japan (BOJ) unveiled its new policy framework on Wednesday, saying it
will keep its negative policy rate at minus 0.1% while modifying the framework
of its bond-buying programme to guide long-term rate at around 0%. The BOJ said
it will continue to expand the monetary base until it achieves a 2% inflation
goal.
Coal
India Ltd (CIL), which produces 84% of country's coal output, "needs to
step up to a double digit growth rate from that of around 9% achieved during
2015-16" to meet its production targets, company Chairman Sutirtha
Bhattacharya said on Wednesday. "Coal India needs to step up to a double
digit growth rate from that of around 9% achieved during FY 2016...during the
first four months of FY 2017, Coal India's production growth was more than 6
million tonnes (mt) over the same period last year," he said while
addressing shareholders at the company's 42nd Annual General Meeting. Coal
India closed at Rs330.10, up 1.15% on the BSE over the week. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
Indian
equity markets soared on the back of positive global cues on Thursday. The key
indices gained around a percentage each during the mid-afternoon trade session,
as healthy buying was witnessed in stocks of banking, automobile, and capital
goods. Besides, domestic cues such as the proposal to merge the general and
railway budget, along with consultations to advance the budget presentation
date, gave a positive momentum to the equity markets. The BSE market breadth
was tilted in favour of the bulls -- with 1,695 advances and 1,044 declines. On
the NSE, there were 993 advances, 471 declines and 74 unchanged.
On
Friday, the major indices were range-bound and shed some of the gains of
Thursday. Selling pressure was witnessed in banking and FMCG stocks. Axis Bank
fell as much as 5.8%. The major indices closed on Friday with minor losses of
0.36%-0.40% over Thursday’s close. The
