Indian equity markets slipped during the mid-afternoon trade session on Wednesday as negative global cues and selling pressure in automobile, consumer durables and banking stocks subdued investors' sentiments. Growing concerns over US President Donald Trump's ability to implement his economic policies spooked the global markets. The US stocks slipped over 1.14-1.83% on Tuesday, following which almost all major Asian indices traded deeply in the red early on Wednesday.  On the NSE, there were 400 advances, 1,070 declines and 56 unchanged. On the BSE, there were 970 advances, 1,837 declines and 195 unchanged. 

The CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) has arrested two senior State Bank of India (SBI) officials for misappropriating funds of around Rs12.40 lakh by violating the RBI (Reserve Bank of India) guidelines imposed during demonetisation, an official said on Wednesday. Senior Special Assistant M. Sultan Mohiuddin and Deputy Manager (Operations) I.J. Raja Sekhar, employed at SBI's Buchireddypalem branch in Andhra Pradesh's Nellore district, were held during a raid conducted at their official and residential premises on Tuesday.  The Central Bureau of Investigation also recovered several incriminating documents. A CBI official said the bank officials were booked for criminal conspiracy, cheating, criminal breach of trust and under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

Coal India Ltd (CIL), which contributes 84% of the country's production, is likely to end the current fiscal with a shortfall against its annual production target for 2016-17, analysts and industry stakeholders say. They, however, predicted that the production and sales are expected to achieve "marginal growth" over the last fiscal. During 2016-17, the miner set a target of producing 598.61 million tonnes (mt) of coal with an 11.11% growth over the 538.75 mt produced in 2015-16. Its sales were at 534.50 mt in the last fiscal. "Coal India is expected to end the year with an around 550 million tonnes of production, thereby missing the annual target by 40-50 million tonnes. The miner needs to produce about 90 million tonnes in March to touch even 570-578 million tonnes as envisaged by the Coal Ministry. This is quiet unlikely," said market analysts. So far, the average monthly production in the current fiscal is around 45 million tonnes, he said. "Production has been impacted due to lower dispatch. Higher production without growing dispatch will add more to inventories and off-take growth till February was around 1.6% and I don't think it would change significantly in March," he said. CIL shares closed at Rs292.15, up 0.14% on the NSE. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

Tokyo shares tumbled on Wednesday on concerns over implementation of US President Donald Trump's economic policies and reports on North Korean missile launches.

US stocks reversed early gains to end sharply lower on Tuesday, amid growing concerns over US President Donald Trump's ability to implement his economic policies.

Worries about the country's health care reform weighed on the market as House Republicans are expected to vote on repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Acton (ACA) Thursday. Analysts thought that the enthusiasm has come off the boil as a lot of Trump policies got mired in legislative process.
