In the news

Dow rises despite weak jobs data

  • The US economy added 2,45,000 jobs in November, far lesser than the street estimate of around 4,50,000 jobs. 
  • While the data is disappointing, the Dow rose and closed at its highest level ever last week. The weak data suggests that there is a need for more stimulus (more liquidity in the markets). 

 

FPI-DII play tug of war

  • In November, the Indian equity markets received nearly ₹60,350 crore of investments from foreign portfolio investors. On the other hand, the domestic institutional investors withdrew about ₹30,760 crore, marking it a sixth straight month of net outflows for DIIs, reports suggest. 
  • In 2020, on a net basis, FPIs invested nearly ₹1,25,000 crore and DIIs have been net sellers to tune of ₹28,000. The net result is that the Nifty 50 is up ~9% in CY20, successfully battling one of the worst economic impacts so far.

 

Crude oil gains for 5 consecutive weeks

  • In the recent OPEC+ meeting, major oil producers agreed to continue to curb production to cope with lower demand globally. 
  • Crude oil prices rose ~30% over the last five weeks for two reasons. Supply was restrained on one hand and optimism toward economic recovery fueled sentiments that demand will rise.

 

Events in this week

  • Wednesday: Crude oil inventories (US)
  • Thursday: Inflation, Initial Jobless claims (US)
  • Friday: Inflation, IIP (India)
