Why Indian stocks usually do better post US polls | Economic Times

Mumbai: Indian stock indices are likely to rise further irrespective of the outcome of the US Presidential election in November if historical data is anything to go by.Data show the Sensex gained 3 per cent to 14 per cent during the six months after the US election outcomes in four out of last five occasions. What could go against the past trend this time is that the market has already risen 50 per cent in the past six months while economic uncertainties on account of the coronavirus pandemic remain.The post-election data for index performance for one month also showed indices gained in four out of five previous US elections.The 2000 and 2004 elections saw Republican George W. Bush being elected President, while Barack Obama was elected President in 2008 and 2012, followed by Donald Trump in 2016.Market strategists are of the view that India has nothing to worry about on geopolitical basis.“No matter who is the President, that person and the administration will seek to have closer rela...

Airtel fall overdone, reversal on the cards | Economic Times

Mumbai: Two leading brokerages said the 20 per cent decline in shares of Bharti Airtel in the last one month is overdone. CLSA and UBS maintained buy on the stock on Wednesday, with their price targets projecting as much as a 70 per cent upside. The stock ended down 3.3 per cent at Rs 420.9 on Wednesday.CLSA said its sensitivity analysis reveals that Bharti’s stock more than factors in the adjusted gross revenue burden risk of matching Jio’s post-paid and over-the-top offers and tariff hike uncertainty, said CLSA, which has a target price of Rs 715 on the stock.“There is no renewed tariff aggression from Jio, and Bharti market share has upside potential. Bharti active subscribers are ahead of Jio, while the stock valuation is at a 25-50 per cent discount to past EV/Ebitda multiples and Jio deal valuations,” said CLSA.Meanwhile, UBS’ Evidence Lab results showed that Airtel is making steady progress and the risk-reward is attractive.Airtel’s share as primary SIM has increased in the last...

JDU may deny tickets to a dozen MLAs | Economic Times

New Delhi: More than a dozen JDU MLAs may not get tickets this time as the party is planning to field fresh faces in order to counter anti-incumbency. The decision comes after the party conducted an internal survey and collected feedback from ground workers and common people in all the constituencies, said people aware of the matter.The entire exercise was directly monitored by Bihar chief minister and JDU president Nitish Kumar, who sat in the party office on a regular basis last week and personally met more than 1,000 party workers from different constituencies in order to gauge their opinion.A lot of workers expressed their views on anti-incumbency against the sitting MLAs. Kumar also met all 69 party MLAs and those candidates who had lost the 2015 assembly election. According to the people cited earlier, Kumar was unhappy with the MLAs because there were several claimants for party tickets from these constituencies. “If there is already a JDU MLA, there shouldn’t be a question on h...

Keeping villages at forefront of development in J&K | Economic Times

By Manoj SinhaMahatma Gandhi was trained as a barrister, but appearing before the court in his Great Trial in 1922, he identified himself as a farmer and weaver. This was his way of identifying himself with the masses, a great majority of whom depended on farming and lived in villages. He stressed on rejuvenation of village life in his Constructive Programme, which was his manifesto of Poorna Swaraj. For the Jammu and Kashmir administration, there can be no more befitting tribute to Gandhiji than taking governance to people in rural areas of the union territory. Thus, under the ‘Back to Village 3’ (B2V-3) scheme, we are launching a campaign on October 2 to take the government machinery to the citizen’s doorstep with a dedicated mission – ‘Samagra Gram Seva and Vikas’ – serving the villages to achieve equity, growth and inclusion.Such a mission cannot succeed without people’s participation. So, our emphasis is on community participation for execution of crucial growth drivers at the gra...

Covid turns Asia into surveillance hotspot: Analysts | Economic Times

KUALA LUMPUR: Asia has become the world's surveillance hotspot and is at risk of serious privacy breaches as measures rolled out to contain the spread of COVID-19 become permanent in many countries, researchers warned on Thursday. The Right to Privacy Index (RPI) published by British-based risk consultancy Verisk Maplecroft, rated 198 countries for privacy violations stemming from mass surveillance operations, retention of personal data, home searches and other breaches. According to the findings, Asia was the world's highest-risk region for violations with a deterioration in recent years. "Asia as a region risks sleep-walking into serious privacy breaches if there isn't transparency when it comes to data use with respect to COVID-19 surveillance measures," said Sofia Nazalya, a human rights analyst at Verisk Maplecroft. Asian countries scored worse on average than nations in other regions, Singapore-based Nazalya, the author of the study, told the Thomson Reuters...

Odisha shows way in Covid care | Economic Times

New Delhi: Even before the Covid-19 lockdown was announced, Odisha’s Ganjam district imposed Section 144 on March 15 to prevent crowding in public places.It was also the first district in the state to impose Rs 200 fine for not using a mask. The move had its desired effect.

Many of them came from Covid-19 hotspots. The first e case was reported on May 1 and the numbers rose to over 700 by July end.A second wave hit Ganjam when migrants ended their quarantine period to join families, thereby bringing in milder viral loads to villages. By August, the district’s positivity rate stood at 59% --one of the highest in the country during that period.However, in September, Ganjam scripted a turnaround.It reported over 200 active cases and a positivity rate down to 1.27% from the worrying 60% mark.Ganjam’s d...

New Delhi: India has set up a screening panel to vet all Chinese foreign investment proposals and those considered “non-controversial” could be approved, a senior government official told ET. More than 100 proposals involving foreign direct investment (FDI) from China are pending. Prior government clearance was made mandatory for FDI from countries sharing a land border in April.

This scrutiny intensified following tension on the border.The screening panel is headed by the home secretary and has the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) secretary as a member.“An inter-ministerial committee has been set up to look at the proposals that various ministries had received that were forwarded to the home ministry for security clearance,” said the official cited above. The proposals that are “non-controversial” could be appro...
