EQUITY MARKET SUMMARY
Monday: The Indian equities ended higher for the fourth straight session on Monday with benchmarks NSE Nifty breaching 8,800 level, helped by gains in the index heavyweights such as TCS, ONGC, ICICI Bank, Adani Port, and Tata Steel, tracking firm cues from Asian peers as rebound in oil prices bolstered market sentiment. However, investors stuck to a cautious approach ahead of key central bank meetings this week which may offer cues over the outlook for the global economy, restricting further gains. On the sectoral front, realty and metal stocks emerged as top gainers, adding as much as 1.6% and 1.3% respectively. Tuesday: Snapping four day gaining streak, the Indian equities ended lower on Tuesday as investors resorted to profit booking ahead of key central bank meetings this week which may offer cues over the outlook for the global economy, curbing risk taking appetite. The focus is on the US Federal Reserve and
the Bank of Japan meet and their outcome on 21st September. The chances of a US Fed rate hike this week remain slim in the wake of recent soft US economic data while analysts are divided over the possibility of further Bank of Japan action. On the sectoral front, realty and power stocks emerged as top losers, falling as much as 1.94% and 0.75% respectively. Wednesday: The Indian equities ended marginally lower on Wednesday, paring early gains, as investors resorted to profit booking ahead of the US Federal Reserve policy decision due later in the day. In another major development, Bank of Japan in its policy review kept rates unchanged and adopted a target for long‐term interest rates in an overhaul of its massive monetary stimulus programme. However, the chances of a US Fed rate hike remain slim in the wake of recent soft US economic data. A decision by the Fed to refrain from tightening may boost foreign capital flows to emerging markets including India. On the sectoral front, FMCG and PSU stocks emerged as top losers, falling as much as 0.58% and 0.3% respectively. Thursday: The Indian equities ended on robust note on Thursday, led by gains in index heavyweights such as ICICI Bank, Tata Steel, SBI, Hero MotoCorp, Maruti Suzuki, HDFC, Tata Motors, GAIL, ONGC and RIL, tracking firm cues from Asian peers after US Federal Reserve kept key short‐term interest rate steady. Sustained inflows from foreign investors and across‐the‐board buying by the investors also helped market sentiments. On the sectoral front, oil& gas and bankex stocks emerged as top gainers, adding as much as 1.51% and 1.49% respectively. Friday: The Indian equities ended on bearish note on Friday amid profit booking in banking, power and FMCG stocks, tracking weak cues from Asian and European markets. Outperforming the benchmark indices, the broader markets ended higher with the BSE mid‐cap index ended 0.28 per cent higher and small‐cap index settled 0.08 per cent higher. On the sectoral front, bankex and power stocks emerged as top losers, falling as much as 1.23 per cent and 0.61 per cent respectively.

US MARKET
Monday: US stocks closed volatile session on a flat note on Monday as the investors turned cautious ahead of the policy meet of US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan. Investors mostly focused on the Federal Reserve’s two‐day policy meeting starting Tuesday.

The National Association of Home Builders’ index jumped six points to 65 in September. Tuesday: US stocks closed flat on Tuesday pairing most of the initial gains at the close of trading ahead of outcomes of meetings from the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan on Wednesday. Further, volatile crude oil prices limited the gains. On the data front, the Commerce Department said the pace of home construction slowed down in August as home‐builder construction fell 5.8% to 1.14 million annual pace in the month. Wednesday: US stocks closed higher on Wednesday as the sentiments boosted after the US Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged. However, the Central bank hinted at the possibility of one rate hike later this year. The stocks had started the day on a positive note as the Bank of Japan overhauled its monetary‐policy framework and didn’t cut interest rates further into negative territory. The BOJ kept its deposit rate unchanged at negative 0.1%. Further, rise in crude oil prices also helped boosted investors’ sentiment. WTI crude futures gained 3.5% amid hopes that major oil producers could reach an agreement to cap output. Moreover, oil prices were also lifted after a surprise weekly drop in U.S. crude stockpiles that helped assuage fears over a global glut. The American Petroleum Institute on Tuesday reported a 7.5 million barrel decrease in U.S. crude oil supplies, instead of the build that many expected. Thursday: US stocks closed near session high on Thursday with Nasdaq finishing at record close following the Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates low. The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, as was largely expected, but hinted at a possible rate hike before year's end. Further, rally in crude oil futures, which settled up by 2.2% at $46.32 a barrel, helped sentiments. Moreover, better‐than‐expected weekly jobless claims data in US boosted sentiments. Data showed weekly jobless claims fell to the lowest tally since July, indicating a strong labor market condition. Moreover, fall in US dollar gave a boost to US exporters and commodities that are priced in the U.S. currency.
EUROPEAN MARKET
European stocks marched higher this week boosted by the Bank of Japan's decision to tweak its monetary stimulus programmes and the U.S. Federal Reserve decision to leave interest rates steady. Further, US Fed indicated that it will keep monetary policy loose for at least another few months. Moreover, a weaker dollar in the aftermath of the Fed decision helped boosted commodities’ prices, which in turn led to increased buying in equities with exposure to these sectors. Mining and oil firms were among the biggest advancers, supported by a weaker dollar. However, disappointing Euro Region PMI data on Friday capped gains. The flash composite purchasing managers index (PMI) for the euro region, measuring the combined output across the manufacturing and service sectors, fell to 52.6 in September, the lowest since January 2015 from 52.9 in August.

COMMODITY MARKET OVERVIEW
Most of the domestic commodity indices ended the week higher as
participants widened their positions in the industrial metal on uptick in spot
demand in the domestic markets. Prices also rose after data showed that
unemployment assistance in the U.S. last week unexpectedly fell last week.
The U.S. Department of Labor said the number of individuals filing for initial
jobless benefits in the week ending September 17 decreased by 8,000 to a
seasonally adjusted 252,000 from the previous week’s total of 260,000. This
was its lowest level since July. However, gains were restricted after official
data showed that U.S. existing home sales unexpectedly fell in August
dampening optimism over the health of the housing market. The industry data
showed that home resales decreased 0.9% in August to a seasonally
adjusted 5.33 million units from the 5.38 million units in July. The prior
month’s data was revised from an initial reading of 5.39 million units.
Out of the four indices at the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), three ended
in the positive terrain during the week. MCXCOMDEX closed at 3132 (grew by
0.90 percent), while MCXMETAL closed at 4651 (grew by 1.70 percent),
MCXENERGY closed at 22342 (up by 1.7 percent) and MCXAGRI ended at
2502 (down by 0.2 per cent).
MCXENERGY ended the week higher as Crude oil futures closed higher in the
domestic market due to a third consecutive weekly decline in domestic
inventories and a weaker dollar. The crude prices rallied after data released by
the U.S. Energy Information Administration showed a biggerthanexpected
6.2million barrel fall in domestic crude stockpiles for the week ended Sept.
16. Further, Oil prices gained more ground following reports Saudi Arabia has
offered to reduce oil production if Iran agrees to cap its own output this year,
in a major compromise ahead of talks in Algeria next week. Hopes for a
potential deal to freeze output to support the market have been mounting
ahead of a meeting between OPEC and nonOPEC members scheduled from
September 26 to 28. At the same time, Natural Gas futures also rose amid
forecasts for warmer than normal temperatures across most parts of the
continental U.S. in the days ahead. Demand for natural gas tends to rise in
the summer months as warmer temperatures increase the need for gas fired
electricity to power air conditioning.
Zinc futures rose by more than 2% in the domestic market as metal traders
booked fresh positions in the industrial metal amid strong physical demand
for zinc in the domestic spot market. Sentiments strengthen further after The
National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo housing market index
rose unexpectedly last month, official data showed on Monday. In a report,
NAHB said that NAHB Housing Market Index rose to 65, from 59 in the
preceding month whose figure was revised down from 60. Analysts had
expected NAHB Housing Market Index to remain unchanged at 60 last
month.

WEEKLY FUNDAMENTAL OVERVIEW
Gold Gold futures closed higher in the domestic market after the August Fed
meeting in which the U.S. Federal Reserve kept rates unchanged. Earlier, gold had
already edged higher after the Bank of Japan adopted a target for long term interest
rates. Gold climbed along with stock markets after the Bank of Japan overhauled
its monetary policy framework, switching to targeting interest rates and sidelining
more than three years of massive money printing.
Crude Oil – Crude oil futures surged in the domestic market as investors and
speculators widened their bets after a drawdown in the US crude inventories in a
third consecutive week. The crude oil prices soared after the data released by the
US Energy Information Administration showed a bigger than expected 6.2million
barrels drop in domestic crude stockpiles for the week ended September 16, 2016.
At 504.6 million barrels, crude inventories were the lowest since February 12,
2016, but still 11 per cent above year ago levels, said EIA.
Copper Copper futures ended higher in the domestic market as participants
widened their bets in the industrial metal on rising demand from domestic markets
amid tracking a firm trend overseas as China's property boom lent support to
prices. A real estate boom and stronger than expected factory activity over
summer has brightened the outlook for metals, with copper also finding support
from earlier than expected consumer restocking. A JP Morgan report said that,
with summer coming to a close, copper demand conditions in China have improved
markedly.
Natural Gas Natural Gas futures ended lower in the domestic market after data
showed that natural gas supplies in storage in the U.S. rose broadly in line with
market expectations last week. The U.S. Energy Information Administration said in
its weekly report that natural gas storage in the U.S. rose by 52 billion cubic feet in
the week ended September 16, matching expectations.
