Fed Easing Liquidity in Funding Markets - US Market up more than 2%

Fed Easing Liquidity in Funding Markets

The Federal Reserve on Tuesday announced it is ramping up efforts to provide more relief to cash-strapped financial institutions, a coordinated action with other central banks aimed at easing a global credit crises that threatens to push the U.S. economy into its first recession since 2001

Washington – The U.S. Federal Reserve announced that G-10 central banks are continuing to work together to address liquidity pressures, with the Fed expanding its securities lending program by $200 billion.
Under the new Term Securities Lending Facility (TSLF), the Fed will lend up to $200 billion in Treasury securities to primary dealers secured for a term of 28 days (rather than overnight, as in the existing program) by a pledge of other securities, including federal agency debt, federal agency residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and non-agency AAA/Aaa-rated private-label residential MBS.

The TSLF is intended to promote liquidity in the financing markets for Treasury and other collateral and to foster the more general functioning of financial markets.

Securities will be made available through an auction process, held on a weekly basis beginning on March 27, 2008.

The FOMC also authorized increases in its existing temporary reciprocal currency arrangements, also known as swap lines, with the European Central Bank and the Swiss National Bank. These arrangements will now provide dollars in amounts of up to $30 billion and $6 billion to the ECB and SNB respectively, representing increases of $10 billion and $2 billion.

The FOMC extended the term of these swap lines through Sept. 30, 2008.

Joining the Fed in the announcement are the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank and the Swiss National Bank.

NIFTY Views for 11 March

todays Market

The two niche indices, BSE Sensex and S&P CNX Nifty, saw divergent
trend with the later posting gains helped by spurt in non-Sensex
constituents viz. Reliance Petroleum and Cairn India. But a key
reason for the divergence of the two indices was a sharp fall in
L&T. L&T has a much higher weightage of 7.18% in Sensex compared to
the stock's 3.16% weightage in Nifty.

Outlook for Tomorrow

NIFTY witnessed a nice short covering rally today, but the short covering could not take it past the 4800 resistance levels ..



If 4800 is broken on the upside , then too am skeptical as we have further resistances at 5150-5175 levels

IDFC to buy StanChart India MF biz

Mumbai, March 7 Infrastructure Development Finance Co Ltd (IDFC) has emerged winner for taking over Stan Chart’s mutual fund business in India.

Standard Chartered PLC has agreed to sell Standard Chartered Trustee Company Pvt Ltd and Standard Chartered Asset Management Co, which handles its mutual fund manufacturing business in India, to IDFC for a total cash consideration of $205 million (over Rs 820 crore). The consideration is before deductions for local taxes and deal expenses.

UBS pull out


IDFC will thus be paying about 70 per cent more that what UBS Global Asset Management, a leading international asset management company, had agreed to pay for the acquisition last year. UBS had struck the deal for acquiring Stan Chart’s mutual fund business in India for $120 million in January 2007.

However, the transaction, which was to be wrapped up by the second half of 2007, did not materialise, with UBS pulling out of the proposed acquisition after the sale and purchase agreement expired in December last. The deal did not get the required regulatory approvals.

Sources following the deal with IDFC say that the infrastructure finance company was not the highest bidder, but what tilted the balance in its favour was the company’s network in India and its experience in providing financial services.

Standard Chartered said in a statement that the transaction with IDFC does not include its mutual fund distribution business, which it will continue to pursue.

Wider strategy


Mr Jaspal Bindra, Chief Executive Officer, Asia, Standard Chartered, said: “IDFC is a well-respected financial services company and we are delighted to have reached an agreement with them for the sale of this business. Standard Chartered will remain a distributor of asset management products in India.”

Mr Rajiv Lall, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of IDFC, added: “We are pleased to acquire a quality asset management platform. This is in line with our wider strategy of broadening our footprint in the asset management business and diversifying our fee-based revenue streams.”

Mr Deepak Parekh, HDFC Chairman, clarified that he will not be in the IDFC mutual fund board.

Core businesses


IDFC’s existing businesses include project finance, principal investments, asset management (for third party funds), investment banking, institutional broking and advisory services. As on December 31, 2007, IDFC’s shareholders included the Government of India (20 per cent), foreign investors 49 per cent and public/others 31 per cent. IDFC’s market capitalisation is about $5.8 billion.

The transaction, which is subject to certain regulatory approvals, is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2008.
