10:17 (IST) 20 Feb 2023 Hawkish stance of Fed to keep Indian market in a range

“There is a growing concern that the equity markets are ignoring the risk of high inflation which is declining only very slowly. Comments from some Fed officials that they might have to remain hawkish for an extended period of time and might support even a 50 bp rate hike in the March Fed meet are negative for equity markets. US bond yields and the dollar index have inched up from their recent lows in response to this concern. In India, it appears that the period of sustained selling by FIIs is over and they have started buying on some days. The negative sentimental impact of the Adani issue appears to be behind us. The likely hawkish stance from the Fed will restrain the rally in the US market and this will also keep the Indian market in a range, attracting selling at higher levels and buying at lower levels. Valuations of the leading banking names, large-cap IT and capital goods companies are reasonable now and may be accumulated on declines.” – V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

08:12 (IST) 20 Feb 2023 Bank Nifty remains in sell mode

“The BANK NIFTY index on the daily chart witnessed a breakdown with a rise in volumes. The index remains in a sell mode as long as it sustains below the level of 41500. The index’s immediate support stands at 41000 and if it fails to sustain it on a closing basis will accelerate the downside move towards 40,000 levels.” – Kunal Shah, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.

08:11 (IST) 20 Feb 2023 Nifty trend for near term likely to remain sideways to positive

“The Nifty has fallen to the upper band of the falling channel on the daily chart. The trend for the near term is likely to remain sideways to positive as long as it remains above the falling channel. A recovery towards the higher level will likely happen if the bulls manage to hold the Nifty above 17880. On the higher end, however, 18150 is likely to act as resistance.” – Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.

08:09 (IST) 20 Feb 2023 Global cues to dictate market’s trend going forward

“Dominated by the release of key macroeconomic numbers and persistent FII buying, domestic markets witnessed a positive trend during the previous week. However, the unfavourable combination of higher-than-expected inflation and a stronger job market in the US market dragged markets lower towards the end of the week, raising concerns about tighter monetary policy. The whammy over India’s retail inflation breaching the RBI’s tolerance level was cooled by WPI inflation easing to 4.73% in January. The US inflation rate, though it slowed its pace compared to the previous month, came in higher than expected at 6.4% YoY. A lack of major triggers in the domestic market will attract global cues to dictate the market’s trend going forward.” – Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

08:01 (IST) 20 Feb 2023 US stock indices end in red

Emerging trends and challenges of technology on education

By Shivam Dutta

In recent years, technology has ushered an unprecedented transformation in the education landscape. The proliferation of the Internet and the massive adoption of digital devices have revolutionized how we learn. From the dawn of the printing press in the early 1400s to the rise of cutting-edge, ever-present online learning, we have come a long way. The education sector is now at the cusp of yet another revolution, largely propelled by futuristic technological advancements like AI and deep learning. The global education technology market, valued at a staggering USD 123.40 billion in 2022, is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6% from 2023 to 2030.

Upgrading teachers on tech tools: Technology education is no longer confined to traditional methods. Today, it is imperative for educators to understand and utilize tools like virtual reality, augmented reality, and blockchain while imparting education. These innovative tools can transform learning experiences and open new arenas for learners. Technological tools offer unprecedented flexibility and self-paced learning opportunities that cater to the needs of learners. They democratize education by providing learning opportunities to individuals regardless of geographical location or time zone. Keeping pace with the rapidly evolving world of technology is demanding for educators. Continuous teacher training is essential to ensure educators remain effective in this fast-changing environment.

Personalised learning with the use of AI: Data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) can contribute towards offering personalized learning. These technologies can adapt to individual learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses, making education more effective and engaging. However, to leverage these tools effectively, educators must become proficient in understanding and managing the data they produce. AI is becoming an integral part of education. It offers the potential to enhance personalized learning, automate administrative tasks, and provide data-driven insights. Yet, training educators to effectively use AI tools and ensuring ethical AI implementation.

Pandemic and hybrid learning: The COVID-19 pandemic caused an abrupt change in the education system. While this transition has accelerated technology adoption, it also revealed some challenges. Ensuring equitable access to education in the digital age remains an ongoing concern. One significant outcome of this transformative period has been the rising prominence of hybrid learning. Technology education increasingly embraces hybrid learning, combining traditional classroom teaching with online resources and tools. Educators must now be versatile, mastering in-person and remote teaching techniques.

Interdisciplinary Education: Tech education is no longer the exclusive domain of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). The amalgamation of art, design, humanities, and technology demands collaboration and diverse skill sets. Educators must nurture this fusion, creating a generation of learners equipped to handle real-world challenges.

Cybersecurity and ethical considerations: As education becomes more tech-backed, the threats to digital assets become evident. There is an urgent need for comprehensive cybersecurity education to protect sensitive information and maintain the integrity of educational systems. The challenge lies in educating learners and educators on the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. In a world driven by technology, basic digital literacy is a necessity. Shockingly, many learners and even educators lack foundational digital skills. Bridging this digital divide remains a vital challenge. In the age of technology, ethical questions abound, there’s a growing need to include ethics and responsible technology in the curriculum. Learners should get trained on data privacy, algorithmic bias, and digital ethics. Educators must tackle these complex subjects with sensitivity and depth.

Bottomline

The nexus of education and technology holds immense promise and demands a profound commitment from educators and institutions. With the integration of technology into education, it is crucial to prioritize not just tech adoption but the development of a thoughtful, ethical, and inclusive digital education landscape.

‘Will recover nearly Rs 1,800 crore from written off accounts each quarter’, says Canara Bank CEO

Public sector major Canara Bank will focus on recovering more than Rs 1,800 crore from written off accounts each quarter this fiscal, MD & CEO K. Satyanarayana Raju told FE in an interview. Raju speaks about the bank’s business growth plans for current fiscal, e-rupee transaction volumes and on privatisation talks of two more state owned banks. Edited excerpts:

What is your outlook on credit growth for H2FY24?

The present demand in retail, agriculture and micro, small and medium enterprises (RAM) sector will likely continue, so our focus is more towards RAM. We will continue posting more than 5% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) and around 13%-14% year-over-year (YoY) growth in RAM segment.

What are you doing to raise other income as it moderated in Q2.

We are focusing on fee income. We automated all 218 of our service charges and are getting good incomes. Secondly, we are also focusing on our non-fund-based business. We have centralised issues like TAT (turnaround time) and we are encouraging some field officials also to take decisions on non-funds-based business. Our credit sanctions are increasing due to focus on lower TAT.

Further, we are also very focused on recovery from written off accounts. We are holding fortnightly meetings, review is happening at highest level to improve recoveries. There is chances of windfall gain from National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) accounts, but we are not counting on that. In every area we have created a ranking system across various parameters. Every month that ranking will be announced openly and it will be recognised by MD and EDs in the national level conference.

You recovered nearly Rs 1,800 crore from written off accounts in Q2. Will the pace continue in H2?

We are expecting to recover same amount in Q3. Now at this level we cannot afford to recover less because there is no alternate source to compensate, treasury gains are lower. We are totally dependent on core banking income.

Will CASA continue growing sequentially in Q3?

Yes, we are definitely aiming for 1% QoQ growth in CASA. Last quarter’s initiatives have started showing results. The product for salaried class customers is performing well. On April 1, outstanding balance of salaried class customers was Rs 4,400 crore, and as on date it is around Rs 6,700 crore, an incremental growth of Rs 2,300 crore from just this product.

What are your branch expansion plans for H2?

On an overall basis, 275 branches will be opened during the current financial year and 60 branches have already been opened.

Is their traction on CBDC transactions?

We are seeing traction. Today we are witnessing total central bank digital currency (CBDC) retail transactions of around 3,000 per day. One third of these transactions are interoperable with UPI QR code.

The Centre is reportedly moving ahead with privatisation of 2 more PSU banks. Have you received any communication in this regard?

So far there has not been any such discussion with us. Nothing in that direction.

Gold Price Today, 15 Feb: Gold sinks as US CPI inflation numbers hotter than expected, fanning rate hike fears

Gold Price Today, Gold Price Outlook, Gold Price Forecast: Gold rate is trading lower on Wednesday as a result of negative global cues, while the silver rate is down 0.42%. On Multi Commodity Exchange, gold April futures were trading at Rs 56,533 per 10 grams, down Rs 217 or 0.38%. Silver March futures were trading lower by Rs 278 at Rs 65,973 per kg on MCX.

Globally, the yellow metal prices edged up marginally on Wednesday as the dollar eased, while US inflation data released on Tuesday raised expectations that the Federal Reserve will persist with monetary policy tightening, according to Reuters. Spot gold was up 0.1% at $1,856.47 per ounce. US gold futures were little changed at $1,865.80. The dollar index eased 0.1%, making greenback-priced gold less expensive for buyers holding other currencies.

Fed officials said the US central bank would need to keep gradually raising interest rates to beat inflation and suggested sticky price pressures driven by a hot jobs market may push borrowing costs higher than they once thought. It will also be now important to keep an eye on other major economic data points to gauge the overall health of the economy. Focus today will be on the UK CPI, US Retail Sales and IIP data. Broader trend on COMEX could be in the range of $1830-1865 and on domestic front prices could hover in the range of Rs 56,200-56,900.

Gold pared earlier gains: ICICIdirect report

Gold prices pared their earlier gains as US Fed members held their hawkish stance after consumer price data came out higher than expected on Tuesday. US CPI print was at 6.4% vs. market expectation of 6.2%. Silver prices slid to their December 2022 lows as the US 10 year yield rallied sharply amid expectation of higher rates by the Fed. Market participants anticipate that strong labor market and higher than expected CPI data may force the US Fed to raise its policy rate at least twice in its upcoming meetings, pushing rates towards 5-5.25% range. Gold prices are trading near four week lows at 56,380. A move below this level would weaken the price towards 56,000, followed by 55,800. MCX silver has been trading below the key support of 50 day EMA at 67,200. As long as it resists 67,200, it is likely to slide towards the next support of 65,200.
