Lacklustre session as investors stay on sidelines
Mumbai: Benchmark stock indices Sensex and Nifty ended flat in a highly volatile trade on Thursday as investors turned cautious ahead of the US-Russia talks on August 15. Extending gains to the second day, the 30-share BSE Sensex climbed 57.75 points or 0.07 per cent to settle at 80,597.66. During the day, it rallied 211.27 points or 0.26 per cent to 80,751.18. The 50-share NSE Nifty rose by 11.95 points or 0.05 per cent to 24,631.30. Among Sensex firms, Eternal, Infosys, Asian Paints, HDFC Bank, Bajaj Finserv and Titan were the major gainers. However, Tata Steel, Tech Mahindra, Adani Ports and Bharat Electronics were among the laggards. The Trump-Putin meeting could have significant implications for energy markets, potentially leading to an easing of sanctions against Moscow. 'After a volatile weekly expiry-day session, Indian equities ended flat as investors traded cautiously ahead of the US-Russia summit. IT and pharma stocks advanced on the back of a softer US inflation data and dovish outlook. Banking and consumer durables also gained on hopes of a consumption-led recovery,' Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Ltd, said.

Australia, NZ dollars suffer setback, NZ food prices shock
SYDNEY, Aug 15 (Reuters) - The Australian and New Zealand dollars were back on the defensive on Friday after a high reading on U.S. producer inflation quashed talk of aggressive rate cuts there and boosted the greenback. That left the Aussie nursing bruises at $0.6497, having fallen 0.8% overnight to wipe out two days of gains. It did find support at $0.6483, but was now a long way for the week's top of $0.6568. The kiwi dollar huddled at $0.5918, after shedding almost 1% overnight to as low as $0.5910. Resistance is up at $0.5996, with more support around $0.5885. Data from New Zealand contained some unwelcome news on inflation as food prices rose 0.7% in July to be up 5% on a year earlier, with butter alone rising 42% and cheese 30%. There were also sharp increases in electricity costs, petrol, air travel and holiday accommodation. One bright spot was a slowdown in rents, which account for a large slice of CPI. With the economy sluggish and plenty of spare capacity on the supply side, analysts still assume the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut rates again when it meets next week. Markets imply a 95% chance of a quarter point reduction in the official cash rate to 3.0%, and perhaps one further move to a floor of 2.75% early next year. Attention will be on its outlook for the economy and whether the path of the OCR is lowered from the 2.9% projected back in May, which is seen as the lower end of neutral. "Higher food prices and continued increases in administered costs like rates, mean that inflation is likely to rise to around 3% before the end of this year, higher than the RBNZ had previously forecast," noted Kelly Eckhold, chief NZ economist at Westpac. "We don't expect a significant change in the RBNZ's OCR profile, which is still likely to indicate a chance of a further cut in November," he added. "Beyond this meeting a data-dependent easing bias seems likely." Jarrod Kerr, chief economist at Kiwibank, thinks the RBNZ will be more dovish and lower the OCR floor to 2.75% or even 2.6%. "The weakness in the economy demands stimulus," he said. "With all the risks offshore, and the pain still felt onshore, there's a good argument to be made for taking policy into stimulatory territory ASAP. An argument that is growing in support."
