Q & A

What were the key reasons for the significant drop in the Indian stock market on September 30, 2024?

The Indian stock market dropped due to three major reasons: Japan's political situation with a new prime minister and upcoming elections, China's stimulus package announcement affecting foreign investment in India, and profit booking in anticipation of negative outcomes from SEBI's meeting.

How did Japan's political situation impact the Indian stock market?

Japan's political situation, with a new prime minister critical of the Bank of Japan's past policies, triggered concerns in global markets. This led to a 5% drop in the Japanese index, which had a spillover effect on the Indian market.

Why did China's stimulus package have a negative impact on Indian markets?

China's stimulus package, which included a reduction in mortgage interest rates, drained foreign investment from Indian stocks into cheaper Chinese stocks. This contributed to the sell-off in the Indian market.

What was the outcome of SEBI's meeting that caused concern among investors?

SEBI introduced a 'mutual fund lite' framework, allowing asset management companies to separate passive funds into new mutual funds or ETFs. This is seen as negative for banks, as it may accelerate the shift of savings from banks to the stock market.

How does the new SEBI mutual fund rule negatively affect banks?

The new mutual fund rule is expected to divert more savings from bank deposits into the stock market, which is concerning for banks already struggling to attract deposits.

What were the key highlights of the RBI's credit information review report?

The report highlighted a significant drop in credit growth from 19.7% to 13.6%, primarily due to lower loans to NBFCs and a slowdown in the credit card segment. However, industrial loans increased from 5.9% to 9.7%.

How did the US market perform, and what were the factors influencing it?
