Public sector banks – nationalised banks and the State Bank group – have started turning to stocks ever since the interest rate scenario turned southward in the past three years which made bond investment unremunerative. According to the latest bank-wise figures released by the Reserve Bank of India in its Statistical Tables Relating to Banks in India, total bank investments in stocks by the country’s commercial banks rose by 36% in FY07 from Rs 11,028. But within bank groups, nationalised banks (with the highest direct investments at Rs 9,398 crore as of March ‘07) as well as the State Bank group hiked their exposure by more than 50% during the period. Their investment dipped largely because one of the major investors of this group Standard Chartered Bank, which accounts for bulk of this group’s investments, has reduced its exposure by 95% during the year from Rs 412 crore to Rs 19 crore during the year. For the current year, though bank-wise details are not available, total investments by banks, including regional rural banks, rose 18% between end-March ‘07 and December ‘07 from Rs 18,344 crore to Rs 21,654 crore, according to figures in RBI’s weekly statistical supplement (WSS). read more

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks traded largely flat Wednesday as investors returned from the Christmas holiday to news of weaker-than-expected retail sales. The International Council of Shopping Centers said its index of retail chain store sales rose 2. Kim Caughey, senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group in Pittsburgh, said reports on retail had upended some investors’ hopes for strong consumer spending in the long weekend before Christmas. Caughey said rising oil prices were likely adding pressure to stocks but noted that the light trading volume seen in both Monday’s and Wednesday’s sessions meant investors shouldn’t focus too much on the market’s moves. read more

NEW YORK (AP) — Treasury prices fell Monday as investors concentrated on opportunities in the stock market, with many players absent ahead of the Christmas holiday. Shaky credit markets, a deteriorating housing sector and uncertainty about the economy and the value of stocks in the fourth quarter have created unusually heavy demand for Treasurys, which are perceived as being among the safest assets. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell 16/32 to 100 91/32 with a yield of 4. Merrill Lynch also announced it sold a stake to Temasek Holdings, the investment fund for the Singapore government, and Davis Selected Advisors for $6. The Federal Reserve on Friday announced it will hold its Term Auction facility operations as long as is necessary to meet money market demand for funds. read more
