Market Summary
12-Dec-2012
Following a firm opening on positive global cues, markets traded in a range about yesterday’s closing mark. The
positive sentiments generated on higher than expected October IIP numbers faded soon on rising retail inflation for the
month of November. Rate cut hopes were dashed as RBI’s preference for low inflationary environment for interest rate
cut is well known. Markets ended flat (in red) yet again.
Due to the higher costs of sugar and vegetables, India’s retail inflation, consumer prices index (CPI), rose at the fastest
pace in three months to 9.90 percent in November, 2012 as against 9.75 percent in Oct 2012. Food inflation in the CPI
increased by 11.81 percent in November as compared to 11.43 percent in October 2012. (News)
As per the govt data release, Index of Industrial Production (IIP) for the month of October 2012 stands at 171.3, which
is 8.2% higher as compared to the level in the month of October 2011. Powered by good performance of the
Manufacturing and electricity sectors, the IIP growth rate of 8.2% is 16 month high and has beaten the street
expectation by a good margin.
On sovereign rating front, while global rating agency Moody’s expects India’s growth prospects to improve in 2013,
Standard & Poor's once again warned that there is a significant chance of India's credit rating cut due to its
deteriorating external position, worse political climate and slow fiscal reforms.
