The week that went by: The Indian stock markets opened weak on the first day of trade tracking SGX Nifty, Asian markets and mixed global cues. The Asian markets opened weak and all emerging markets were trading in negative on concerns that the UK Prime Minister Theresa May might seek hard exit from the European Union. Reliance Industries Ltd dragged on the market over concerns about spending at its telecom unit that overshadowed better-than-expected third-quarter earnings. With more companies gearing up to report earnings, the market is expected to be range bound. With the profit booking and negative global cues, the markets continued to trade lower mid week as well. The markets opened in the red with reactions to different quarter earnings.

ECONOMY: Demonetisation has hit India’s growth: IMF The Naredra Modi government’s demonetisation move could dampen India’s growth by one percentage point in the current fiscal year and 0.4% next year, compared to its earlier projections, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said. The IMF now expects India to record a growth of 6.6% for the current year, and 7.2% next year. Earlier, IMF had projected 7.6% this year and next year. Our comments: The trimming is primarily due to the temporary negative consumption shock induced by cash shortages and payment disruptions associated with the recent currency note withdrawal and exchange initiative.
