Key Market News
The rating agency, India Ratings & Research, revised down, Indias GDP growth forecasts for the current financial year. The economic growth forecast has been reduced to 7.2% from 7.4% earlier. The key reasons, it said, are headwinds emerging from rising in crude prices, fixing of minimum support price (MSP), depreciating rupee as well as no visible signs of reduction in NPAs among banks. Although Ind-Ra expects the central government to meet its fiscal deficit target of 3.3% of GDP in FY19, the current account deficit is likely to touch USD71.1 billion (2.6% of the GDP) in FY19 from USD48.7 billion in FY18 (1.9% of GDP) due to the widening trade gap, it said in a statement.
Indias trade deficit in July widened to the most in more than 5 years, worsening the outlook for the rupee that hit a record low on Tuesday. The gap between exports & imports reached $18 billion in July, fanned by a higher oil import bill, according to data released by Indias commerce ministry on Tuesday. That compared with the $15.7 billion median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of 24 economists & $16.6 billion in June.

Key Market News
The Indian rupee hit a fresh record low today, as a slide in E.M. currencies led by the Turkish lira spurred demand for haven assets. The rupee fell as much as 1.10% to 69.6150 versus the dollar in early trading before paring losses. The Indian currency has been the worst performer in Asia this year. The lira slumped for a fourth day to a new record low, after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan showed no signs of backing down in a standoff with the U.S. The MSCI Emerging Market Index slumped to the lowest in more than a year.
Fitch Ratings' outlook on the Indian banking sector is likely to remain negative until the banks address their weak core capital positions against mounting bad loans and poor financial performance, it said in a report. The capital position of state banks is most at risk, with the core capital ratios of 11 of India's 21 state banks below the 8% common equity Tier 1 (CET1) regulatory minimum that comes into place at financial year-end March 2019 (FYE 19), the report said. Banks' credit costs rose sharply following regulatory changes aimed at accelerating bad-loan recognition and led to losses that cumulatively eroded nearly all of the Rs.90,000 crore in govt. capital injected in FY18, adding to capital positions which were already weak.
