Construction ind to be stable during 2010: Fitch

Credit rating agency Fitch has forecast a stable environment for the construction industry during 2010, but has warned that execution of large projects by companies may lead to higher risks. - Auto component sales to rise in 2010: Fitch - Auto sector to grow by 10-12% in 2010: Fitch - 3G: Fitch studying revenue impact on Bharti - "Teaser home loan rates pose payment shocks" - 83% investors feel economy will recover in next fiscal: Fitch - Structural shifts to benefit Asian companies: Fitch Ratings "Fitch Ratings expects the credit profile of construction companies to remain stable in 2010," the agency said in a statement. "Revenue growth is likely to remain strong due to comfortable order-book positions and expected increases in new orders," it added. It said besides strong government and power sector spending, a revival of private capital expenditure is likely to aid companies gain new orders, while margins and material costs are likely to remain stable. "The stability will also be driven by the trend for many companies to move away from fixed-price contracts to ones that incorporate price escalations," Fitch said. However, the agency said various factors like increase in asset ownership through BOO/BOOT (build, own, operate, transfer) projects and execution of larger ones will add to risks. It said construction companies have moved towards executing larger projects. "Factors clouding the rating outlook include customer/project concentration risk and risks of increases in asset ownership through build, own, operate and transfer (BOO/BOOT) projects," Fitch said.

V V: Correcting the fault lines of capitalism
In the long run,” John Maynard Keynes had famously said, “we are all dead.” Keynes may not have been quite dead, but he had lived a ghostly half-life in the corridors of central banks and within the academia for decades. Now with the failures of unbridled capitalism on a global scale, he is back in fashion, along with Marx. John Cassidy, the finance correspondent for the New Yorker has come with How Markets Fail: The Logic of Economic Calamities (Allen Lane/Penguin £25), which draws heavily on Keynes to recount the story of America’s housing boom and the failures of regulators and self-deception of bankers that led to the present financial crisis. The book is a sequel to Cassidy’s earlier book DotCon that dealt with the stupidities of the stock market bubble in the late 1990s, but both deal with one central idea: the belief that society is best served when individuals are left free to pursue their self-interest was “Utopian economics” and led to disaster because of “the crooked timber of humanity”, and the uncertainty that is inherent in any human enterprise.

F&O OUTLOOK: Nifty to find stiff resistance above 5,300
The Nifty futures moved in a narrow band and closed higher at 5,239 on poor volumes in both cash and derivates segments. The trading volume in Nifty January futures declined to 11.86 million shares from around 42 million shares on the first day of the December series. It is difficult to predict the market movement in the near future due to extremely poor volumes. However, the intra-day trading pattern in Nifty futures and options suggested that traders booked profits while bears built short positions at higher levels.
