Beginning of New Reforms in India.

FDI in Retail:

The opening up of the Indian retail sector to the world players by allowing 100% foreign direct investment (FDI) in single-brand retail and 51% in multi-brand is a sign of more forced reforms to come.

The issue of FDI in retail is a long pending one and the government did not act on it earlier due to political compulsions when it was supported by the Left and due to more urgent issues stemming from the credit crisis in 2008 and scams in 2011. On a long-term basis, the opening up of FDI in retail is positive for both inflation and the rupee as global retailers look to set up shop in India.

The government was forced to take the decision of opening up the retail sector due to one ,the rupee depreciating 15% against the US dollar and secondly, inflation staying at over 9% levels for six consecutive months. Even opposition from a key ally in West Bengal did not deter the government when it announced the higher FDI in retail. Money will not rush into India on the back of the announcement, but it is a positive reform measure under forced circumstances.

FDI in the airline sector:

The government is also considering allowing FDI in the airline sector, which faces headwinds due to structural issues in aviation in India and the near-bankruptcy of two large carriers — Air India and Kingfisher Airlines.

FDI in the airlines sector has been an issue for many years with the government even blocking a proposed joint venture between the Tata group and Singapore Airlines.

The FDI proposal for the airline industry is again a forced policy measure as a healthy airline industry is crucial for the infrastructure of the country and if three of the largest airlines (Jet, Air India and Kingfisher) are in the red, it does not bode well for aviation in India.

Increase in FII Limits in Bonds:

In related currency developments, the government increased the foreign institutional investor (FII) limit for government bonds and for corporate bonds by $5 billion each, taking up total FII limits to $15 billion for government bonds and $20 billion for corporate bonds. The previous limits were almost fully utilised and there was more demand from FIIs for investment in Indian debt, despite a weakening currency. The limits will get filled up gradually but will, all the same and this is positive for the rupee.

Reforms in Oil and Power Sectors:

The government needs to address two sectors that are in dire straits — oil and power. The government is not allowing the pass-through of higher costs to the end user and this is creating deep holes in its pockets as it has to ultimately bear the burden of the subsidies. Indian oil marketing companies have lost almost `65,000 crore in the first half of this fiscal for selling fuel below cost.

The power sector is in deep trouble with state electricity boards (SEBs) suffering losses, as they are not allowed to sell electricity at cost to the end user. The SEB losses are estimated at around Rs100,000 crore as of October 2011.

Power producers are reluctant to sell power to SEBs as they do not get paid. As a result, even if power is available in plenty, there is an artificial shortage of power as SEBs are not able to source power at cheaper rates.

The end result of subsidies is the government’s fiscal deficit going higher than projection leading to rise in borrowing costs. The government’s fiscal deficit for 2011-12 is expected to exceed budget estimates of 4.6% by 1%. Bond yields have risen by 60 basis points on the back of higher-than-expected fiscal deficit.

Weekly Wrap: Govt reforms fail to perk up market mood

A lifetime low on the rupee, the spillover effect of the eurozone crisis and poor internal fundamentals ensured that the week was packed with volatility. Bad news for the market continued, causing Indian equities to tank around 4% despite several short covering rallies before the expiry of the November series.

Despite crossing the crucial 4700 level, the Nifty managed to recoup losses to close just above that, down 196 points. The Sensex fell below 16,000 and stayed there to close at 15,695.43, down more than 750 points. All in all, a disastrous week for equities.

Market Movers:

Dashing all talks of a policy paralysis, the Cabinet cleared the bill to increase foreign direct investment to 51% in multi-brand retail and 100% in single brand yesterday, bringing joy to the Indian retail sector. Even though the Bill was cleared with certain riders, industry experts and analysts believe this move will help generate employment in the country, increase manufacturing and help farmers.

Another move that was passed by the Cabinet was the Companies Bill 2011, which aims to introduce mandatory corporate social responsibility (CSR), class action suits and a fixed term for independent directors, among other things. Corporate Affairs Minister, Veerappa Moily, today said he hoped the Bill would get passed this Parliament session.

On the flip side, the depreciating rupee has had a very adverse effect on the economy. After touching its lifetime high of 52.73 per dollar on Tuesday, central bank intervention at 52.55 per dollar levels has helped appreciate the dollar a little. However, the Indian currency is still the worst performing Asian currency, having depreciated over 17% since July 2011.

Some good news came in for Air India late yesterday as the RBI gave a nod to restructuring the beleaguered airline’s debt on the conditions that the restructuring be done within 120 days after getting the sanction of all banks involved. The RBI has also said that the repayment period for the loans should be extended to 15 years from the current 10 years.

State electricity regulators can also heave a sigh of relief as they are now allowed to set tariff rates on their own without filing for an average revenue requirement (ARR) petition first. This move will benefit all power companies, mainly the state electricity boards that are currently suffering huge losses.

Reliance Industries ’ aim to enter the insurance sector takes another hit as its plans to buy majority stake in two Bharti Axa insurance ventures gets mutually terminated due to difference over long term vision and joint management in the future.

Losers & Gainers:

Amtek Auto (Rs 121.30; +28%): Possibility of buyback plans being approved by the market regulator SEBI boosted the stock price of the company.

Pantaloon Retail (Rs 234.05; +19%): News that the company is in talks with foreign players to benefit from the opening up of India’s retail sector saw the company’s share jump in today’s trade.

Parsvnath Developers (Rs 34.10;-41%): Bad times for the company continues as pledged promoters shares continue to get liquidated in the market, beating down the share price.

DB Realty (Rs 68.15;+15%): Even though owner Shahid Balwa has not received bail yet, news of the other five corporates accused in the 2G scam getting released on bail boosted the stock.

Rule of '9-9-9' to make you rich

US Presidential nominate, Herman Cain, had come up with a program titled '9-9-9' aimed at reforming the US tax system. The program was proposed to help the US economy out of its financial troubles. In essence, it proposed to have a 9% income tax, 9% business transaction tax and a 9% federal sales tax. Hence the connotation 9-9-9.

Whether the program gets approved or not, the connotation can actually be used in another way. As proposed by Forbes magazine, the rule of 9-9-9 can be used by people like us to increase our wealth. True, it is written keeping the people of America in mind, but we feel that if tweaked a bit, it is something that each of us can adopt in our lives.

How does it work?

Well it works in 3 steps. It helps to reduce your personal debt burden, reduces spending and increasing your saving. In short, it is the recipe of becoming richer.

Let's take a look at the 3 steps involved.

Step 1: Pay off all debts that have an interest rate of 9% or more.

You may read this and go "Ha! With the increasing interest rates ALL the debts would fall in this category". Well that is actually true. So we are going to tweak this rule a bit. Pay off all debt that has an interest rate higher than what you can earn by investing in a relatively risk-free investment. We are referring to the returns on the investment which is what you earn by holding on to the investment over a period of time.

The way this works is that suppose a relatively risk free investment gives you 12% returns (note we are talking of returns not the face value interest rate). And you have a loan on which you pay 11% interest. So it would be better for you to invest your money in the investment and use the interest income received to pay off the interest on the loan. Any loan that has a higher interest rate deserves to be paid back. Otherwise the interest liability just keeps on growing and your debt burden goes up over time (using compounding power of money ).

So once you have identified the loans that need to be paid off first, the next question is how much money should you put aside to pay off such loans? This is where steps 2 and 3 come in.

Step 2: Have at least 9 months of necessary expenses in savings

Everyone has their monthly expenses. This includes basics like food, travel, clothing, housing, etc. Excluding expenses on luxury, it would be a good idea to work out how much you need each month. At any point of time, it is necessary to put at least 9 months of necessary expenses in savings. These should ideally be completely risk free and easy to get. A savings bank account or a fixed deposit are usually good places to park these savings.

But here one may ask, with expenses going up almost daily, how does one set aside this huge quantum of savings?

Well the idea is no different from what economists and experts prescribe for the countries. You have to adopt austerity measures. Prioritize your expenses and cut back on anything and everything that you may regard as unnecessary and wasteful. True it would mean that you like in a frugal manner for sometime but at the end if you are able to build up more funds, then the whole process is totally worth it. Initially it may seem difficult but saving at least 2 -3 months of expenses is doable to start with. As you move higher in life and continue following these rules in a disciplined manner, even the 9 months' savings become achievable.

Step 3: Save 9% of your income each year for retirement

So once you are done with saving up to meet your expenses, you should be saving at least 9% of your total annual income for retirement. Again, this looks like a low savings rate for us Indians. But this is the bare minimum that one should try to achieve. These funds should ideally be parked in long term investment options depending on your risk taking appetite. And these should be kept for a long period of time. Imagine the kind of funds you would have at the end of 10 years or 15 or even 20. The power of compounding comes in and the funds multiply over the time period.

The balance that is left over is used to pay off your debt burden, which you have sorted out on the basis of the interest rates.

Following these steps may seem difficult. But followed diligently and with discipline, it does become possible. And with these steps, you would soon be debt free and have sustained savings. This in turn can compound over time leading to larger wealth for you.

Banks to offer higher returns on NRI deposits to lure dollars

A runaway currency has pushed the Reserve Bank of India to make interest rates more tempting for NRIs to bring in dollars. As the rupee closed at a new low on Wednesday, RBI allowed banks to offer higher return on dollar as well rupee deposits parked by NRIs.

Banks can now give 125 basis points over London Inter-bank Offered Rate, or Libor - the benchmark rate in international money markets on foreign currency non-resident accounts against a mark-up of 100 basis points permitted till now.

On non-resident (external) or rupee deposits, the interest rate cap has been raised to 275 basis points over Libor, from 175 bps. "It will help to improve sentiment," said Parthasarathi Mukherjee, president (treasury and international Banking) at Axis Bank. The six-month Libor is at 0.71%.

Earlier in the day, the rupee fell to a low of Rs 52.37 to the dollar, but recovered to an intraday high of Rs 51.75 on suspected dollar sales by the Reserve Bank of India. But despite intervention and the central bank's move to lift the $100-m cap on banks for swap, the local currency ended at 52.37.

Such swap transactions, where corporates enter into deals with banks to swap rupee loans to dollar, banks sell dollar in spot market and buy in forward. But the market did not feel that this will help to increase dollar supply. Global stock markets plunged to a six-week low on Wednesday after China's manufacturing activity in November dropped to a 32-week low, contributing to existing worries about US economic growth and Europe's debt worries.

Tracking the weakness across markets, India's key indices hit a two-year low as foreign investors dumped shares, unnerved by the uncertainty in the rupee's slide which closed at a record low of 52.37 against the dollar. The Sensex dropped 365.45 points, or 2.27%, to end at 15,699.97, but off the day's low of 15,478.69.

The Nifty fell 105.90 points or 2.20% to close at 4706.45. Brokers said several foreign ETFs, which are facing redemptions at home, were selling aggressively.

Stop-loss triggers at many hedge funds and foreign banks set off after the Nifty fell below 4700 mid-way through the session, precipitating the decline. But for the short-covering later, indices would have ended much lower. Foreign investors sold shares worth Rs 1186.42 on Wednesday, according to provisional data.

"Investors in India are more worried about the domestic events than the issues in the US and Europe. There is a total chaos in the currency market, with no uncertainty about where the rupee is headed," said Sandip Sabharwal, CEO-portfolio management services of broking firm Prabhudas Lilladher.

Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee on Wednesday attributed the stock market crash to withdrawal of funds by foreign investors and depreciation of the rupee.

"The rupee's underlying fundamentals still appear weak to us, especially the absence of yield support at this important moment for the currency. Indeed, there is the outside chance of an onshore USD squeeze being the catalyst which propels USD/INR to the 54.8 technical objective," said Stewart Newnham and Yee Wai Chong, analysts at Morgan Stanley.

The decline on Wednesday pushed the Nifty below the 200-week moving average of 4776, analysts said. "This is a sign of further weakness in the market as this is a long-term trend indicator," said AK Prabhakar, senior VP, Anand Rathi Securities. The MSCI Asia Apex fell 2.5% after the indications of weakening in China, the world's secondlargest economy, came a day after the US cut its Q3 growth figure.

China's preliminary HSBC manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index fell sharply to 48.0 in November compared with a final reading of 51.0 in October. The euro fell 1% after Belgian newspaper De Standaard said that the planned rescue of Franco-Belgian bank Dexia is unworkable.

The report triggered worries that France's AAA credit rating may be under threat. Report said the European crisis is making it tough for European banks to access dollar funding in money markets. Euro/dollar cross currency swaps, which measure the cost of swapping euros into dollars, are at the most expensive levels since 2008, according to reports.

China trade surplus may fall to zero or below in next 2 years

China's trade surplus may drop to zero or even fall into negative digits in the next two years in view of declining exports and surging imports, a top official of China's central bank has said.

China's narrowing trade surplus is expected to reduce further to USD 150 billion this year, dropping to 1.5 per cent of the GDP from 8 per cent over the past few years, Li Daokui, an advisor and member of the monetary policy committee of the People's Bank of China, said.

In the first 10 months this year, the trade surplus narrowed by 15.4 per cent year-on-year to USD 124.02 billion, with the surplus in October plunging by 36.5 per cent to USD 17.03 billion, data with the General Administration of Customs shows.

"By then, I will be more worried about the devaluation issue of the renminbi, or yuan," state-run Xinhua news agency quoted Li as saying.

However, he said there are still reasons to remain optimistic with regard to dealing with a shrinking trade surplus, as domestic consumption was on the rise.

For example, the contribution of household consumption to GDP growth has followed an upward trend since 2008, Li said, adding that household income growth is also outpacing GDP growth.

Consumption was responsible for 47.9 per cent of the country's GDP growth in the first three quarters, up 0.4 percentage points from the first half, according to the National Statistical Bureau (NBS).

"Residents' incomes may double in three years," Li said. In the first nine months of the year, China's rural residents' incomes rose by 13.6 per cent year-on-year, while urban residents' incomes increased by 7.8 per cent.

According to preliminary statistics, China's GDP rose 9.4 per cent year-on-year during the period, NBS data show.

Li said China will face the severe challenges of increasingly high expectations from the international community and the sustainability of its own economic development model in the next five to 10 years.

European Union agrees 2% budget rise for 2012 to 129 bn euros

European Union negotiators agreed to a two per cent rise in the bloc's budget for next year to 129 billion euros ($174 billion), following more than fifteen hours of talks which ended in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The deal was seen as a victory for cash-strapped capitals grappling with Europe's debt crisis, which had opposed demands by EU lawmakers to increase the budget by more than 5 per cent.

But some EU officials said limiting the budget rise to forecast inflation for next year could leave the bloc unable to pay its bills and threaten the EU budget's AAA credit rating.

"This is clearly an austerity budget, as most member states are in the midst of a serious financial crisis," said EU Budget Commissioner Janusz Lewandowski, who had originally proposed a five per cent rise in spending in 2012.

"There is now a serious risk that the European Commission will run out of funds in the course of next year, and will therefore not be able to honour all its financial obligations towards beneficiaries of EU funds," he said.

That is because while agreeing to limit their contributions to the EU budget to 129 billion euros next year, governments gave in to the European Parliament's demands to allow EU spending commitments next year to go up to 147 billion euros.

"Today's commitments become tomorrow's payments, so they are playing a very dangerous game indeed," said one EU official.

More than two thirds of the EU budget is spent on subsidies for farmers and regional aid funds, which finance road construction, environmental clean-ups and other projects.

Talks on the EU's spending in 2012 are seen as a prelude to a tougher fight on the bloc's next long-term budget for 2014-2020.

Gold, silver rebound on low-level buying; firm global cues

Snapping a two-day falling trend, gold and silver prices recovered in the bullion market today on fresh buying at existing lower levels amid the ongoing marriage season on the back of a firming global trend.

While gold prices recovered by Rs 115 to Rs 29,205 per 10 grams, silver rates rose by Rs 1,325 to Rs 56,400 per kg on rising demand from jewellers and industrial units.

Traders said fresh buying by stockists for the ongoing marriage season at attractive low levels and reports of a firming global trend mainly led to the rise in both gold and silver prices.

Gold in global markets, which normally sets the price trend on the domestic front, rose by $ 4.90 to $ 1,724.80 dollar an ounce and silver by 2.21 per cent to $ 32.41 per ounce in New York.

On the domestic front, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity recovered by Rs 115 each to Rs 29,205 and Rs 29,065 per 10 grams, respectively. The metal has lost Rs 350 over the past two trading sessions. Sovereign continued to see demand at around the previous level of Rs 23,300 per piece of eight grams.

In a similar fashion, silver ready prices rebounded by Rs 1,325 to Rs 56,400 per kg and weekly-based delivery by Rs 1,385 to Rs 55,860 per kg. Silver coins also moved up by Rs 1,000 to Rs 63,000 for buying and Rs 64,000 for selling of 100 pieces.

Earnings Report Card: See how India Inc fared in Q2

Moneycontrol Bureau

The sun is about to set for the earnings season of the second quarter and it does seem like a quarter that India Inc would like to speedily forget. Most of the companies have missed street expectations and only a handful has managed to surprise the market.

Moneycontrol.com reviews the second quarter performance of Corporate India and its reflection upon the market in an attempt to determine the way forward for our market. Here is our assessment:

This earnings season turned out to be more of a sentiment dampener for investors. Elevated interest costs, rupee depreciation and soaring fuel prices eroded profits, and in some cases, even pushed bottomline deeper into the pits. Study of 3022 companies show that operating profit margins and net profit margins have shrunken by 442 and 527 basis points respectively, in this quarter, against the same period the previous year. Note that net profit margins are in single digits for this quarter.

Check out the chart given below. All figures are standalone figures and Rs in crore.

Summation of quarterly result of 3055 companies

CriteriaSep-11Sep-10

% Chg

Despite high inflation, companies managed to push products through, registering an overall growth in sales by 20.60% on a year-on-year basis. However, bottomline saw a degrowth of 35%, the first time in four quarters, indicating slowdown of India's growth engine. The biggest worry however was interest cost which stands at whopping 48% now. Also note that other income has jumped to 21%, the highest in four quarters.
Sales 109262790601021%
Other Income 360993001120%
Gross Profit 2611762565882%

Stocks however remained range-bound and volatile, reacting to individual results blow-by-blow. Ironically, Nifty is back to trading at the same level at close to the 5000 mark where it was when the earnings season was kicked off by IT bellwether Infosys . Over the season, the benchmark index rallied close to 6% before losing steam and backing out to 5000 points.

Index outperformers

A comparative study of earnings of the BSE-Sensex companies reveals that DLF , Sterlite Industriesand Jindal Steel were volume toppers this quarter while DLF, TCS and ONGC were PAT toppers. What is interesting is that there are only three companies in the entire universe which have recorded 10% growth sequentially, both in sales and profits, in past three quarters. They are Pitti Laminations ,NHPC and Steelcast .

Check out the table below for the outperformers from each sector on the basis of sales growth and PAT growth. The companies mentioned under ‘interest’ are least leveraged, therefore are debt-free companies, which means they do not have an impending interest amount to pay. Note that IndusInd Bank , Petronet LNG , Praj Industries , HCL Tech , TCS and Lupin have recorded highest sales growth as well as PAT growth from their respective sectors.

Index Laggards

We ran a similar analysis to pick out the backbenchers in sales and PAT growth. Thankfully, only two stocks- SKS Microfinance and Resurgere Mines - seem to have reported a 10% sequential drop in sales and profits over the past three quarters.

With the Manesar issue affecting production, Maruti Suzuki was badly affected in terms of sales in this quarter pitched against the same period previous year, closely followed by JP Associates andHindalco Industries . Maruti also topped charts on companies with least profit growth on a yearly basis. Bharti Airtel and Sterlite Industries came out the other index laggards with regard to PAT. Note that Sterlite had clocked maximum sales growth during the quarter.

Below is the table of sectoral underperformers. Like Maruti, Sesa Goa and Tech Mahindra too seem to have lagged with regard to sales and PAT growth in the respective sectors. Watch out for companies with huge interest outlay in their balance sheet!

Interest cost burden: Too heavy to handle

In its war against inflation, RBI had no choice but to hike interest rates repeatedly. In fact, interest rates have been pushed up by nearly 525 basis points in 13 steps over past the few quarters. This has weighed heavy on India Inc, by not only dampening investor sentiment, but also by having to bear additional cost in the form of interest burden to be paid on loans taken by Corporate India. Check the table we have compiled to get an idea of the interest cost burden on company books.

CompanySep-11Sep-10

% Chg

A shocking 15 companies figure in the list of businesses where interest cost has burgeoned by over 100% in this quarter compared with same period last year. Keep an eye on the bad boys- Sterlite Industries, Ranbaxy Labs, GTL, GE Shipping, Idea Cellular- cost of interest is up over 200% for them! The new additions are Bharti Airtel, Aurobindo Pharma, Ipca Labs and Wipro.
