Vision set for global scale PSU banks in India

Image
Reduction in the cost of borrowing and improved income opportunities will boost revenues and can increase the bottom line of the new entities. In the latest episode of the mini-budget press meet series, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced another major measure towards making India a $5-trillion economy. To create global sized banks, the merger of 10 public-sector banks (PSBs) into four entities was announced so that the struggling sector is streamlined, revived and rejuvenated. From a global perspective, we don’t have a single bank among the Top 20. For example, five biggest banks of China, which find a place in the Top 20 list, have contributed to growth in all major sectors. Lower funding costs and technological scalability of large banks assure that banking services are accessible to the last person. Post mergers, more than 80 percent of the PSB business will be with 12 banks that will ensure they have a strong business book with an all-India presence...

Oil prices gain nearly 2% after drop in U.S. crude inventories

Image
Oil prices rose nearly 2% on Wednesday after a larger-than-expected decline in U.S. crude stockpiles helped ease worries about weakening oil demand caused by the trade war between Washington and Beijing. Brent crude futures settled 98 cents, or 1.7%, higher at $60.49 a barrel. West Texas Intermediate crude ended at $55.78 a barrel, rising 85 cents, or 1.6%. U.S. crude oil inventories fell last week by 10 million barrels, compared with analysts' expectations for a decrease of 2.1 million barrels, as imports slowed, the Energy Information Administration said. "There's a lot of big numbers here, but it's all on the import number, which is pretty impressive," said Bob Yawger, director of energy futures at Mizuho in New York. Net U.S. crude imports fell by 1.51 million barrels per day to 2.9 million BPD, while imports in the Gulf Coast region dropped to their lowest on record at 1.2 million BPD. Over the past four weeks, crude oil imports averag...

Onion prices rise on supply crunch

Image
Onion prices have soared again. Due to the supply crunch in the last month, prices have doubled across agricultural markets.  In Delhi's Azadpur agricultural market, good quality onion is selling at Rs 30-40 a kg and in retail, Rs 50-60 a kg. On Wednesday, 57 trucks of onion (about 1,200 tonnes) arrived at the Azadpur agriculture market. On Tuesday, only 37 trucks had arrived.  According to traders at the mandi, anything less than 70 trucks will create onion demand-supply gap and increase the price. Onion prices doubled in August due to poor supply, said President of the Association of Onion Merchants Rajendra Sharma.  Following floods in major supplying states, like Maharashtra, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, the arrival of onion had shrunk, causing price rise, said a trader at Azadpur Mandi.  At the benchmark Lasalgaon mandi of Nasik (Maharashtra), Asia's largest onion wholesale market, prices have shot up 80 percent to trade at Rs 27-2...
