Nifty Fut (June) today closed around 9613, dropped by 7 points, after erasing all its intraday gains from the day high of 9661 to closing session low of 9608. Indian market today opened almost 15 points gap up amid mixed global cues and optimism about an Aug or even early rate cut by RBI following lower headline CPI yesterday at 2.18%. Overnight, US market closed almost flat (-0.17%) amid ongoing concern about Tech shares; but better than expected yields in 10YUSYSY bonds and some roll back of the Dodd Frank rules may have helped the financials & banks.

USDJPY was also recovered from its intermediate support, helping some risk-on trade ahead of key US economic data & Fed. FOMC is almost poised for a 0.25% rate hike on 14th June; but more than rate cut, Fed’s guidance will matter most and any indication about gradual tapering of its huge B/S (Taper Tantrum) may also rattle the market (risk assets).

Back to home, Indian market may have celebrated initially today for the lower CPI published yesterday and hopes for a RBI rate cut. But, still there are several concerns for RBI to change its neutral stance abruptly as core CPI may be sticky at 4.70% and Fed is still sounding quite hawkish. As a result of a hawkish Fed, almost all the major central bankers are now also adopting the neutral monetary policy path from their past accommodative stance in order to keep the interest rate/bond yield differential at the present level.

Domestic market today reacted negatively for the GST disruptions probability as Govt/FM confirmed once again the 1st July as roll out day for the same denying any possibility of a month delay (Sep) as being reported in some media. Market may be apprehending that due to GST disruptions, de-stocking for input tax credit issues etc, earnings of corporate India may be affected for Q1 & Q2FY18.

Market sentiment today may be also suffered due to Govt’s decision to cancel telecom spectrum auction for 2017 owing to huge financial stress & leveraged B/S of the sector. This may deprive the Govt for revenue of around Rs.15000 cr for FY-18; it’s very clear that neither the telecom companies nor the banks are now in a position to fund the telecom spectrum auction. Also, a separate report showed that subsidy for the Food, Fertilizer & Fuel has surged significantly in April’17, which may constrain the Govt finance in the months ahead amid concern for GST disruptions & 7-CPC arrears.

Govt has also expressed grave concern for the telecom NPA/NPL and has called all the PSBS/Pvt banks having significant exposure to the sector (for resolution of the telecom loans). In one of those meeting, FM has reportedly expressed his concern over telecom stress & overall NPA divergence issue with RBI & different Private Banks; ICICI may be one of them; although the Bank has denied this speculation after the market hours today.

The ongoing issues of farm loan waiver and consequent adverse effect on credit discipline may be also affecting the general market sentiment, especially for the banks & MFIS.

Nifty was today supported by HDFC twins, which alone contributed around 11 points; HDFC & other housing finance companies, such as LICHSGFIN were in the lime light for the last few days after RBI announced lower PCR (provisioning) against some category of the housing loans; BOB, Lupin, Powergrid, ITC, NTPC ACC & Yes Bank also helped the market to some extent.

But Nifty was dragged today by WIPRO, HCLTECH, TCS, INFY, TATAMOTORS, INDUSIND, ICICI & AXIS BANK. Private banks were in pressure today after RBI has asked all the banks to disclose any divergence in NPA reporting, if it’s above 15%; although, PSBS are reporting NPA more or less as par RBI audit/observation, market may be concerned that Private banks may be hiding NPA in different forms and more prone to RBI divergence issue. Banks may be also affected for GST disruption issues in the present complex formats and dual GST.
