A selloff towards the fag end of Friday's session dragged the benchmark indices lower after a range-bound trade for most part of the day.
Reliance Industries and banking stocks remained the top drags for the indices with the Bank Nifty dipping 1.17 per cent.
The benchmark S&P BSE Sensex ended 289 points, or 0.73 per cent, lower at 39,452, after touching an intra-day low of 39,363. Only five out of the 30 BSE constituents ended the day in the green, with IndusInd, Bharti Airtel, Kotak Bank, Axis Bank, and Tata Motors taking the deepest cuts.

Emkay Global on IIP numbers
The IIP growth rate touched a six-month high, but it would be too early to expect a reversal in overall economic activity. The high frequency indicators still indicate the consumption as well as investment demand remains weak. Apart from the weak data coming from complementary indicators the adverse base effect would also keep the IIP numbers at subdued level, unless there is a sharp recovery. The pick-up in capital goods segment too seems to be a one-off as the RBI’s assessment of the economy indicates a high output gap
Edelweiss on Asian Paints
We conclude, post analysis, that not only are the company’s disclosure levels decent, but they also exhibit long-term consistency and stability, inter-alia, on volume growth, cost channelisation (in the right direction), working capital parameters, free cash flow generation and conversion of EBITDA to OCF. The missing link is improvement in performance of subsidiaries, which we envisage to unfold in ensuing years. Maintain ‘BUY’ with a target price of Rs 1,570

MARKET CHECK
Centrum on financial sector
Banks will continue to gain market share from NBFCs. We prefer banks having higher-rated corporate loan books given the signs of recovery in the corporate segment. Banks having a strong CASA and retail term-deposit franchises would also be preferred as garnering a sticky liability franchise is important. From our coverage universe, we prefer State Bank of India and ICICI Bank among larger banks and Federal Bank among mid-cap banks
COMMENT :: Centrum Broking on WPI data
The softening of WPI inflation displays the similar narrative depicted by the retail inflation, with core components reflecting weakening demand and thereby establishing a strong footing for the central bank and the government to reinvigorate the weakening growth impulses.

We assign a lower multiple as we look at earnings further out into the future.

Target Price : Rs 710
Upside : 14%

We retain our estimates while we await early signs of success from the recent sales reorganization and new go-to-market strategy.

Stocks of credit rating agencies likely to remain under pressure: Analysts
The role of credit rating agencies has been under the spotlight given the recent liquidity crisis that has hit the finanial sector. While they can remain under pressure in the short-run given these developments, analysts remain optimistic on their long-term prospects. The optimism stems from the new set of guidelines set forth by the market regulator, which they believe, will tighten the weak links in their overall functioning and thus help in regaining the confidence from stakeholders.

MARKET COMMENT :: Chris Wood of Jefferies
The market turbulence driven by the renewed investor focus in recent weeks on trade wars and tech wars is a reminder of the importance of politics. Still this does not mean that central banks have become unimportant. This year there has been the “Powell pivot” and the renewed faith in the Fed “put”.
The recent Fed tightening cycle has also been more significant than generally understood. First, there has been the “double whammy” of both Fed balance sheet contraction and rising rates which represents two forms of monetary tightening. Second, in terms of the percentage increase in interest rates from the low, this has been the most extreme monetary tightening cycle since at least the 1970s.
GREED & fear is not predicting a recession. Rather the base case remains that, with the sugar rush of 2017 tax reform over, the American economy is likely to slow this year and next to the trend growth rate of 2.3% in place since the global financial crisis. But if there is a risk to that base case, it is clearly to the downside because of the lagged effects of monetary tightening.
If Donald Trump surprises the consensus and does a U-turn on the China trade issue in coming weeks, like he has seemingly done with Mexico last week, macro investors should look to take advantage of the inevitable initial euphoria to bet again on the end of Fed tightening. Meanwhile the latest jobs data has kept sentiment dovish for now.

Govt may roll over Rs 62,000 cr in fuel, fertiliser subsidies to FY21
In a bid to meet the challenging fiscal deficit target of 3.4 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) for 2019-20, the Narendra Modi government could leave as much as Rs 62,000 crore in fuel and fertiliser subsidy arrears unpaid and roll over that amount to FY21, officials involved in the making of the Budget said. The measure has been necessitated because the Centre anticipates a shortfall in tax revenues this year, and expenditure commitments will certainly go up as the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party seeks to fulfil some of the welfare promises made in its 2019 election.
