Economic News:
- Industrial activity contracted for the third consecutive month in October by 3.8%, driven by a fall in activity across sectors, according to official data released on Thursday. Separate data showed that retail inflation had surged to a 40-month high of 5.54% in November, driven by rising food inflation.This combination of contraction in industrial activity and rising inflation has led experts to fear that India is entering a phase of stagflation (a situation in which there is persistent high inflation combined with stagnant or declining demand).
- India’s trade deficit in November narrowed to $12.12 billion as against the deficit of $17.58 billion a year before, the trade ministry has said. Oil imports at $11.06 billion were 18.17 per cent lower compared to $13.52 billion in November 2018.Non-oil imports fell 10.26 per cent to $27.04 billion compared to $30.14 billion in November 2018.Net exports fell 0.34 per cent to 25.98 billion as compared to $26.07 billion in November 2018.
Industry News:

During April – November period of FY’20, the overall automobile sales reported the sharpest decline of 13.2 per cent on year-on-year during the last five years on the back of price hikes in passenger vehicles and two wheeler segments due to new safety norms, higher insurance costs, higher ownership costs, liquidity crisis in the NBFC sector.
- The central board of Reserve Bank of India discussed the policy for cooperative banks and non-banking financial companies during its meeting on Friday. The matter was taken up at the 580th meeting of RBI’s central board in Bhubaneswar chaired by Governor Shaktikanta Das. “The Board’s discussions focussed on issues related to urban cooperative banks, extension of Enforcement Policy and Framework to cooperative banks and NBFCs,” the central bank said in a statement.
Company News:
- Global steel giant ArcelorMittal has initiated payment for acquisition of debt-ridden Essar Steel for Rs 42,000 crore, sources said on Friday. The decks for acquisition of Essar Steel by LN Mittal-led company was cleared by the Supreme Court last month. “Payment from ArcelorMittal has started flowing and entire payment is expected to be cleared in a day or two.” ArcelorMittal has arranged the entire amount of Rs 42,000 crore which is likely to be transferred to State Bank of India, the lead banker to take control of Essar Steel under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.
- Suresh Narayanan, Chairman and MD, Nestle India, during Business Today Mindrush event 2019 on Friday, said the company was in the process of setting up its ninth Maggi noodles factory in Gujarat, where it would invest over Rs 700-800 crore. He also talked about selling 2,000 Nescafe machines over the last few quarters and this happened not in metros but 600 towns.
- Shares of Tata Motors continued gaining momentum for the third straight session on Friday, surging over 15 per cent on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), after its British arm Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) reported a consistent improvement in China sales for the fifth consecutive month in November. The rally was also attributed to victory of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in the UK election, which renewed hopes that the Brexit could happen by January 2020. A confirmation on Brexit would end uncertainty for Tata Motors as a big chunk of their business is based in the UK.
Global News:
- In his first speech after a landslide victory in the UK General Election, Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Friday called for closure on Brexit and vowed to work “round the clock” to repay the trust of the voters in what he has branded will be a “one-nation people’s government”. Johnson emerged on to the steps of 10 Downing Street as Prime Minister of a majority Conservative Party government after winning a landslide victory in the UK General Election.
- The US and China announced Friday that they reached a phase-one trade deal but provided little detail on what exactly will be part of the agreement. As part of the deal, the US will halve its 15% tariff on about $120 billion in Chinese goods. It will also suspend indefinitely planned duties that were set to take effect on Sunday that would have covered consumer favorites such as smart phones and laptops. That leaves roughly $250 billion taxed at 25% and $120 billion that will be subject to a 7.5% duty once the agreement takes effect.
