Fresh coronavirus waves showed no sign of abating Saturday as devastating surges in India and Brazil pushed daily infections and deaths to record levels. Despite the rollout of vaccines in many countries, Covid-19 is still wreaking destruction around the world, with close to 3.2 million lives lost and known infections soaring past 150 million. Asia has recorded the bulk of new cases, driven largely by the surge in India. The crushing outbreak, which now accounts for more than 40 percent of the world's new infections, has overwhelmed the South Asian nation's healthcare system and depleted critical oxygen supplies. Authorities on Saturday opened India's massive vaccination programme to all adults, but many states do not have enough doses to meet demand despite a freeze on exports of shots produced locally. "There are so many people that are getting sick... we just wanted to be here as soon as possible," said Aadya Mehta, 25, who joined a queue of around 100 people o...

GANDHINAGAR: As the sun descends in the west, 55-year-old Gauriben Purabia wipes the sweat off her forehead. Gauriben, who is one of the many women who work in a crematorium in Gandhinagar in Gujarat, wipes the floor using water that’s mixed with sanitiser – the tiles must stay sparkling clean at all times.A few meters away, her daughter Ambika and her husband Prakash prepare a body wrapped in a plastic bag for the CNG furnace to devour – another victim of Covid-19. A little further away, her son Vikram lords over the fire to ensure nothing is left behind. Vikram’s wife Bhavna, meanwhile, cleans up another furnace.The torrent of death that the second wave of Covid-19 in India has brought with it has numbed these women.“It’s become like a stone inside,” said Bhavna Purabia, in her late 20s and a mother of three.The women in this Gandhinagar crematorium have been as busy as their male counterparts cremating the dead since the onset of this Covid-19 wave, sharing all tasks.“When we starte...

Volatility is back with a vengeance in the stock market and experts say that the more than 1,000 points daily swings of the Sensex will continue till the current covid spiral abates. Panic reactions by new short-term investors are fanning the volatility. “There is too much speculation, mostly by people who entered the market in the past year. Since speculation is a zero sum game, gains of experienced big bulls and bears that constitute around 2-3% of the market participants will come at the cost of small traders. The biggest losers will be the new entrants,” says C.S. Sudheer, CEO and Founder, IndianMoney.How should retail investors manage their equity investments now? While retail traders may get burnt due to the ongoing volatility, there is no need for long-term investors to panic because this will get over in some time. The situation is similar to what happened during 2020 after the deep cuts of March- April. Make the most of itExperts say systematic investment plans (SIP), also kno...

Do you remember that Maruti ad some years ago in which a rich man who reminds one of Vijay Mallya is examining a luxury yacht he’s planning to buy? He asks the salesman, “Kitna deti hai?” Mallya’s luxury yacht days are long gone but the ad is still quite funny. It’s also quite relevant to what I want to write about today. So if you don’t remember it then go and watch it first at bit.ly/kitnadetihai and then we’ll go ahead with the rest of the story. Why do you invest in debt funds? Are you able to quickly give an exact answer to that question? Probably not, because it’s actually not a very good question. Let me try again. How are your goals for investing in debt different from investing in equity funds? That should be much easier to think about, and hopefully to answer. In fact, if you can answer that question satisfactorily then you’re going to be a successful mutual fund investor. However, there are a few more steps after the answer itself which are needed to make sure of that.The no...

The first instalment of the central share of the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) of Rs 8873.6 crore for the year 2021-22 has been released to all the states, said the Ministry of Finance on Saturday. The ministry said that up to 50 per cent of the amount released i.e. Rs 4436.8 crore can be used by the states for COVID-19 containment measures. It also said that an amount of Rs 8873.6 crore has been released to the states at the recommendation of the Ministry of Home Affairs. Normally, the first instalment of SDRF is released in the month of June as per the recommendations of the Finance Commission. "However, in relaxation of normal procedure, not only has the release of SDRF been advanced, the amount has also been released without waiting for the utilization certificate of the amount provided to the States in the last financial year," it said. The funds from SDRF may be used by the states for various measures related to containment of COVID-19 including meeting the cost o...

With the enactment of National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development (NaBIFD)Act in the last week of March 2021 the focus now shift from the need of a development financial institution for infrastructure development to making NaBFID structurally and operationally efficient and efficacious.This is important particularly in the background of experience of the DFIs like IFCI and IIIFCL which failed to deliver as expected.Infrastructure projects continue to languish for shortage of funds - debt as well as equity. Out of 6835 projects identified in December 2019 under National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), only a few ,about 225, have been completed and the remaining face, among other things, funding issues. The NaBFID has a tall order - as set by the finance minister - mobilisation of Rs 3 trillion over next 3 years and making that available while functioning professionally, to a large number of projects across the country and in different sectorsThe factor that failed most the...

One of the things we’re learning over the past year is the vulnerability of global supply chains.There’ve been supply bottlenecks in lumber, semiconductors, shipping capacity and even labor, after Covid-19 sparked a dramatic underestimate in how much of these products and services would be needed. No one thought a global pandemic would coincide with a boom in consumer goods and a quick economic recovery, and so no one prepared for that by increasing capacity. Underinvestment is now sparking higher prices for sought-after goods, with lumber being the most notable example. Joe’s described this dynamic as a short squeeze in the real economy.But what happens when short squeezes meet other short squeezes? Resolute Forest Products is one of the first sawmills to report this earnings season and it should have unveiled bumper revenue with lumber prices up 85% this year alone. Instead, the company reported earnings-per-share that came in below analyst expectations. Why?It seems the supply short...
