I think there is disbelief with this cabinet reshuffle. The general line I have heard is what is President Volodymyr Zelensky doing? Just to reiterate what I said upon Zelensky taking office last year: This guy has the best opportunity to enact transformational reform of any Ukrainian leader over the past 30 years. He had:
* Political capital, having won a landslide election in the presidential poll and then also winning a landslide majority for his Servant of the People Party in the parliamentary election;
* The population wanted reform/change;
* Ukraine was still backed by the West, and the International Monetary Fund had a new loan program teed up to be signed off by the IMF board;
* The macroeconomic setting in Ukraine was the best I have seen in 30 years covering the country – low single-digit inflation, a stable currency, rising foreign-exchange reserves at the National Bank of Ukraine, falling interest rates, suggestive that investment was about to take off, a public debt ratio falling from over 90% to 50% and fiscal and current account deficits reduced to 2% of gross domestic product each;
WNU Editor: I do not understand President Volodymyr Zelensky's latest moves. His backing away from delivering the promises that he made during last year's Presidential election on ending the war in the eastern part of the country has disappointed a lot of people (this blogger included), but getting rid of the people in his cabinet who have put Ukraine in the best economic situation that I have seen in years makes no sense to me. He won an overwhelming mandate for change and reform, and now he is ignoring it.
When American troops lay their lives on the line in combat, they expect that their country will give them the best available support and protection. We can do no less than give them the close air support platform they know they need.
Many Air Force senior officers contend that close air support (CAS) can be done by any platform that can launch a guided weapon at a set of target coordinates.
Combat teaches otherwise.
Troops who've needed and received close support in combat know how dangerous it is to think of targets as nothing but GPS coordinates. They found out the hard way that their high priority threats are hard to detect, even harder to distinguish from friendlies, and prone to shift rapidly from moment to moment. That's why they feel so strongly that nothing is more important than a pilot dedicated to expertise in close support—and why they have such strong preferences for the A-10 over any other platform. The results of a survey of 500 combat-experienced Joint Tactical Air Controllers and Joint Fire Observers say it all:
WNU Editor: Always listen to the soldiers on the ground who have experienced combat. If they favour the A-10 over the F-35, it is because of that experience.

The official questioned whether the U.S. Army 'brought the epidemic to Wuhan'
A Chinese official questioned whether the U.S. Army "brought the epidemic to Wuhan" and demanded "an explanation" on Thursday.
A spokesperson for the Chinese foreign ministry, Lijian Zhao, made the post on his official Twitter account and included video of U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield testifying before Congress.
"CDC was caught on the spot," Lijian wrote. "When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an explanation!"

'She is feeling well, is taking all the recommended precautions,' PMO says
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau has tested positive for the coronavirus, the Prime Minister's Office said late Thursday, saying she will remain in isolation.
"She is feeling well, is taking all the recommended precautions and her symptoms remain mild," the PMO said, adding that the prime minister "is in good health with no symptoms."
Trudeau will also stay in isolation for 14 days, but on the advice of his doctors, will not be tested because he has no symptoms. He plans to address Canadians on Friday.
Grégoire Trudeau began exhibiting mild flu-like symptoms including a low fever late Wednesday, shortly after returning from the U.K.

And now a nightmare scenario is unfolding in Iraq as the United Nations has recorded the first suspected coronavirus cases inside an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp.
WNU Editor: This is truly a nightmare scenario and one that this blog has been warning about for the month. These refugee camps house thousands who have compromised immune systems. Couple this with minimal to non-existent medical facilities, I shudder when I visualize the impact that this pandemic is going to have on this population.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States waged a series of precision air strikes on Thursday against an Iran-backed militia in Iraq that it blamed for a major rocket attack a day earlier that killed two American troops and a 26-year-old British soldier.
The U.S. strikes appeared limited in scope and narrowly tailored, targeting five weapons storage facilities used by Kataib Hezbollah militants - including facilities used to store weaponry for past attacks on U.S.-led coalition troops, the Pentagon said.
Iraq's military said in a statement that the U.S. air strikes hit four locations in Iraq.
The U.S. military did not estimate how many people in Iraq may have been killed in the strikes, which officials said were carried out by piloted aircraft.

* Most energy analysts have dismissed the idea that Saudi Arabia and Russia's price war has been specifically designed to target U.S. shale, but the industry is expected to bear the brunt of the pain. * Some believe the worst hit from a sharp drop in oil prices will be long-time allies of de facto OPEC leader, Saudi Arabia. * "Even at $30, something is going to happen ... We are not going to stay here. We can't," Chris Weafer, a senior partner at Macro-Advisory, told CNBC.
An intensifying oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia has created "very painful" market conditions for the world's largest crude producers, analysts have told CNBC, with many braced for sliding revenues over the coming months.
International benchmark Brent crude traded at $32.97 Thursday, down almost 8%, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) stood at $30.40, around 7.8% lower. Oil prices have almost halved since the start of the year.
The downturn for crude futures comes shortly after talks between OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia and non-OPEC leader Russia broke down.
WNU Editor: Consumers are the definite winners. Asian and European countries are also winners. The losers are OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers like Russia, Canada and Angola .

State-owned Saudi Aramco told to pump 13m barrels a day in effort to corner global market
Saudi Arabia has intensified the oil price war by ordering its state-owned producer, Saudi Aramco, to raise the maximum production rate to record highs of 13m barrels a day.
The world's most profitable company told the Saudi stock exchange on Wednesday that it would increase how much oil it can comfortably pump per day by 1m barrels to its highest rate ever.
The state order to raise Aramco's "maximum sustainable capacity" comes after the kingdom launched a price war on rival petro-nations by vowing to raise its production by a quarter from last month despite an oil demand slowdown because of the coronavirus outbreak.
* Two Norwegian F-35A stealth fighters intercepted a pair of Russian anti-submarine warfare aircraft off the coast of Norway over the weekend. * The stealth fighters relieved a pair of F-16s that initially intercepted the two Russian Tu-142 maritime patrol aircraft. * The intercept marked the F-35s first time participating in a NATO quick alert reaction mission.
Two Norwegian F-35A stealth fighters intercepted a pair of Russian anti-submarine warfare aircraft off the coast of Norway over the weekend in what appears to be the jet's first intercept mission involving a Russian aircraft, according to multiple reports.
The Royal Norwegian Air Force (RoNAF) scrambled F-16s for a quick reaction alert mission as two Russian Tu-142s with a MiG-31 fighter escort approached Norwegian airspace on Saturday. Two F-35A Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters were then sent out to provide additional support.
House leadership has pulled legislation from the floor that would have repealed President Trump's prior travel bans, amid efforts to focus attention on a coronavirus response bill, Fox News has learned.
Democrats made the decision late Wednesday to delay a vote on the No Ban Act to make way for new legislation to help families affected by the virus, said Benjamin Suarato, spokesman for bill sponsor Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif. That bill is in limbo amid GOP opposition.
WNU Editor: The Democrats pulled back when National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Robert Redfield voiced support of the travel ban, pointing out that most of the current infections in the U.S. came from people who arrived from abroad ....

* Biden spoke for the first time since his Tuesday night primary wins in four states amid the coronavirus outbreak * He spoke hours after Donald Trump addressed the nation and announced 30-day travel ban for Europeans seeking to enter the U.S. * Rival Bernie Sanders announced he will address the outbreak Thursday afternoon * The former Delaware senator and vice president has racked up numerous endorsements as his primary wins rolled in * Cautioned against downplaying the virus or being 'overly dismissive' * He called the administration's failure on testing 'collosal'
Former Vice President Joe Biden leveled pointed criticisms at President Donald Trump's response to the coronavirus outbreak, accusing him of spreading 'misinformation' in a way that is harming the national response.
'When I'm president, we will be better prepared, respond better, and recover better,' Biden vowed, reading form a teleprompter as he addressed the spiraling crisis and released a plan.
Biden spoke before a bank of American flags in his home town of Wilmington, hitting Trump for being insufficiently prepared, but also putting out some of his own ideas he said would be shaped by scientists if he were elected.
WNU Editor: "We should have" is the main message of former Vice-President Biden's speech today. And his blaming the President for the market crash is not the reason why the markets have crashed. The markets are crashing because there is a real fear on what the Codif-19 coronavirus pandemic is doing. This was a golden opportunity for Biden to shine, and to criticize how the Trump administration initially reacted to the crisis. But politicizing it in the manner that he did, killed whatever message he was trying to send out. On a positive note. For the first time in a year he did look alive and sharp in front of the cameras.
Quebec Premier François Legault has called on organizers of events that would attract more than 250 people to cancel them. Dave Sidaway / Montreal gazette files
The orders could get more draconian — from closing schools and shopping malls to a generalized quarantine of the island of Montreal.
QUEBEC — Declaring Quebec is on an emergency footing that requires sacrifices, the Legault government Thursday made public a series of drastic measures designed to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus before it gets out of hand.
And the orders could get more draconian — from closing schools and shopping malls to a generalized quarantine of the island of Montreal, Quebec's most populated city. The province has the power to do it all if necessary.
"I am asking a lot," Premier François Legault conceded at a news conference where the new measures were announced now that Quebec has 13 confirmed cases of the virus — thus far all travellers who came home with the virus.
"Today, Quebec must put itself on an emergency footing.
"Our challenge in the coming weeks to contain the spread of the virus. The coming weeks will be critical. Our goal is slow the spread of the virus to the maximum.
If you think things have gotten bad in the United States — where St. Patrick's Day parades have been canceled, and the NBA is suspended for the rest of the season — just wait until you hear about Norway. Starting Thursday, the small Nordic country announced "measures that will be the most extensive Norway's population has experienced in peacetime," and which involve practically shutting down the entire country in order to slow the spread of the new coronavirus, Norwegian Minister of Health and Care Services Bent Høie told the national broadcaster, NRK.
In addition to kindergartens, child care facilities, schools, and universities closing nationwide, and a ban on both professional and amateur sports — measures that have been taken only regionally so far in the U.S. — the entire country of Norway is also requiring all hairdressers, massage clinics, gyms, and tattoo parlors to close, Life in Norway and Swedish journalist Peter Imanuelsen report based off the announcement on NRK. Cultural events are also banned, with museums, pools, and libraries additionally closing. While grocery stores will remain open, restaurants, bars, pubs, and nightclubs are required to close if they can't guarantee a three-foot distance between patrons. Buffets, naturally, are banned.
President Trump is weighing whether to declare a national emergency over the coronavirus, which would free up additional resources to combat the rapidly spreading disease.
The president indicated to reporters that using an emergency declaration under the Stafford Act was under consideration, but would not say definitively whether he would sign it on Thursday.
"We have things that I can do. We have very strong emergency powers under the Stafford Act," he said during an Oval Office meeting with the Irish prime minister. "I have it memorized practically as to the powers in that act, and if I need to do something I'll do it. I have the right to do a lot of things that people don't even know about."
WNU Editor: The Dow Jones just crashed losing 2300 points (10% of its value). Stock market live updates here. If this is not going to result in a declaration of a National Emergency, I then do not know what it will take. My prediction. This blog has been covering this crisis since January 20. World leaders have been taking this crisis very seriously since then .... President Trump included. Every leader in executive positions of power will do what is necessary to protect their country, and they are doing it now. Get ready for more border closures, travel restrictions, and quarantines. But all pandemics will end, including this one. But in the meantime all of us are going to be impacted by this crisis, and we will be stronger when it is over.
Iran is seeking financial aid from the International Monetary Fund for the first time since the 1960s as it tries to fight a major outbreak of the coronavirus.
Abdolnaser Hemmati, the head of the Central Bank of Iran, said in an Instagram post that he requested approximately $5 billion from the body's Rapid Financing Instrument. The fund has said it would make $50 billion available to help member countries deal with the epidemic.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif called on the Washington-based body to allow the Islamic Republic to access the facility "immediately" and "stand on the right side of history & act responsibly," according to a tweet. Iran is the third-worst hit country after China and Italy, with 429 people dead.
Iran's still awaiting a formal response from the IMF, Hemmati said in a brief statement to reporters shown on Iranian state TV. The IMF confirmed it had received inquiries and requests from countries including Iran.
WNU Editor: Should the IMF give $5 billion to Iran even though it has spent billions on its nuclear enrichment program, has a brutal history of repression, and provided/providing military aid to its allies and proxies fighting wars throughout the Middle East that includes launching attacks against Western forces. I would so no. The priority for the Iranian leadership has always been about consolidating keeping power, using the security forces to crush dissent, and to wage constant war against it neighbours and the West. Bottom line. This IMF money will not be used to fight the Covid-19 pandemic.
Two days after Iran declared its first cases of the novel coronavirus - in what would become one of the largest outbreaks of the illness outside of China - evidence of unusual activity appeared at a cemetery near where the infections emerged.
At the Behesht-e Masoumeh complex in Qom, about 80 miles south of Tehran, the excavation of a new section of the graveyard began as early as Feb. 21, satellite images show, and then rapidly expanded as the virus spread. By the end of the month, two large trenches - their lengths totaling 100 yards - were visible at the site from space.
According to expert analysis, video testimony and official statements, the graves were dug to accommodate the rising number of virus victims in Qom.
BEIJING (Reuters) - The global coronavirus pandemic could be over by June if countries mobilize to fight it, a senior Chinese medical adviser said on Thursday, as China declared the peak had passed there and new cases in Hubei fell to single digits for the first time.
Around two-thirds of global cases of the coronavirus have been recorded in China's central Hubei province, where the virus first emerged in December. But in recent weeks the vast majority of new cases have been outside China.
Chinese authorities credit strict measures they have taken, including placing Hubei under near total lockdown, with preventing big outbreaks in other cities, and say other countries should learn from their efforts.
"Broadly speaking, the peak of the epidemic has passed for China," said Mi Feng, a spokesman for the National Health Commission. "The increase of new cases is falling."
* Boris Johnson has chaired a meeting of Cobra emergence committee as response to the disease escalates * At press conference PM said UK's moving from 'contain' phase to desperate efforts to 'delay' the virus spread * Anyone with coronavirus-like symptoms being told to self-isolate but not contact their GP unless gets worse * Republic of Ireland has announced that all schools and colleges will be closed from the start of next week * Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said she will bar all gatherings of more than 500 people * President Donald Trump has dramatically closed the US to travellers from mainland Europe for 30 days * Cabinet minister awaiting result of coronavirus test after colleague Nadine Dorries had diagnosis confirmed * Four other MPs have put themselves into quarantine after coming into contact with infected individuals
Boris Johnson today branded coronavirus the 'worst public health crisis in a generation' and warned that 'many more' people are going to die - but still held off drastic measures.
The PM said it was clear that the disease will continue to spread around the world and people should brace for the 'reality' of 'severe disruption' for many months.
He said the government was considering measures like a ban on sporting events - but the time to act was not now.
'At all stages we have been guided by the science. We will do the right thing at the right time,' he said.
French President Emmanuel Macron is scheduled to give a televised address to the nation at 20h French time (GMT+1) on Thursday, as the death toll climbed to 48 and amid speculation that the government will move its coronavirus response up a gear to Phase 3, the highest response level.
Ahead of Macron's address, France has already stepped up its response to the virus threat. On Wednesday, Health Minister Olivier Véran said the government had decided, for several weeks starting today, to ban visits to all the country's retirement homes, elderly people being the most exposed to the coronavirus.
WNU Editor: The news coverage from France is completely opposite to the coverage in the U.S.. The situation in France is far worse than what it is in the U.S., and the French government is only responding now. But the news coverage is positive, focused on the health crisis, the unity of the government to impose measures to limit the spread, and the additional measures that need to be imposed.
CANADIAN government officials have announced that Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, wife of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's has tested positive for the coronavirus.
CORONAVIRUS panic has spread across the planet, with nations going into lockdown, shutting schools and banning sports events as fearful countries attempt to control and protect the public from the deadly outbreak.
CORONAVIRUS responses from members of the G20 have been a "big anomaly" the international community must immediately address to help contain the deadly virus, former ECB boss Jean-Claude Trichet warned.

MUMBAI: Government-owned State Bank of India will be joined by private lenders ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank as well as investors Radhakishan Damani, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala and the Azim Premji Trust in the rescue plan for Yes Bank to invest more than Rs 12,000 crore, said three people aware of the development. As per the proposal sent to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), these investors will together hold more than 49%, with SBI holding the largest share at 45%, they said.SBI has also recommended appointing Yes Bank administrator Prashant Kumar as the new CEO of the bank.In the six-page plan sent to the RBI, the state-owned lender detailed how much capital each investor will bring and by when will the plan be executed.Public sector banks will bring in Rs 30,000 crore as bulk deposits, as per the proposal. "The final plan has been sent to the RBI, these need not be final set of investors, as of now. In all, apart from SBI there are seven other investors," said an official aware of the details. "All the investors are local and their collective share is slightly more than what SBI is investing on its own. They are investing in phases and it is possible that they will invest more in the future or foreign funds will join in later." 74603767 In an exchange filing on Thursday afternoon, SBI had said it will invest Rs 7,250 crore in Yes Bank for a 49% stake, in line with a rescue plan drawn up by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)."The executive committee of (SBI's) central board has approved purchase of 725 crore shares in Yes Bank Ltd at a price of Rs 10 per share subject to all regulatory approvals," SBI said in an exchange announcement. "Our shareholding in Yes Bank Ltd. will remain within 49% of the paid-up capital of Yes Bank."Sources indicated that the private sector banks could chip in with around Rs 1,000 crore each and the high net worth investors could contribute Rs 500 crore each.AT1 Bondholders Submit Formal Proposal"All the four private sector banks will hold not more than 5% each. There are other investors also which will invest and together these investors will hold slightly more equity than SBI," said a person familiar with the matter.The central bank had unveiled the SBI-led proposal public on March 6, a day after it superseded the board and imposed a 30-day moratorium.ET reported March 12 that SBI and other investors are likely to arrange equity capital of Rs 20,000 crore. Public sector banks will also likely build a buffer through Rs 30,000 crore of bulk deposit and certificate of deposits to stabilise the bank in case of withdrawals and fund transfers once the moratorium is lifted.The RBI had named Kumar as Yes Bank administrator in its March 5 announcement. He's a former deputy managing director and chief financial officer of SBl.Separately, additional tier 1(AT1) bondholders submitted a formal proposal to the central bank on Thursday. They want 1.7 billion shares worth Rs 1,700 crore in lieu of the bonds held by them, which would salvage 20% of their value. The RBI is yet to decide on this. Under the March 6 plan, about Rs 8,500 crore of AT1 bonds are to be written down to zero. Mutual fund companies such as Nippon, Kotak and Franklin, pension funds, insurance firms and the likes of Reliance Industries and Barclays Bank are among those that will lose money.The bondholders are seeking to move court against this."If the proposal is accepted, AT1 bondholders would not pursue any legal recourse and the writ petition against the RBI will be withdrawn," according to the proposal submitted to the RBI. ET has seen a copy of this.
ET Intelligence Group: A week, the late British premier Harold Wilson had famously said, is a long time in politics. It isn't markedly different in the investing world either.India, the relative outlier in global growth assets, has fallen from grace in a very short period of time, with overseas funds flying to safety. Foreign portfolio investors (FPI) have sold Indian equities worth $4.9 billion lately — the biggest such selling ever recorded in less than two work weeks.The risk indicators seem rather stark, making the reference to the 2008 subprime sinkhole more relevant by the minute. Hence, Indian equities have lost $272 billion in market value in just 10 trading sessions, with the selling getting brutal each passing day.The Bloomberg's propriety Fear and Greed indicator — a gauge of buying strength to the selling strength — of the Nifty 50 index shows a negative reading of 1,813 after the record 8.2% decline in a single day on Thursday. The current reading of the Bloomberg Fear and Greed index is worse than negative 1,445 during the global financial crisis in January 2008. 74603690 Similarly, the Nifty's 14-day Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) — a gauge to measure the magnitude of price change — that evaluates the overbought or oversold condition of securities dropped to 13.04, the lowest level since 2003. The reading of RSI below 30 points to 'oversold territory', while a value above 70 is considered 'overbought'. In the past, there are two instances of the Nifty's RSI dropping below 20 — May 2004 and January 2008.Extreme pessimism has enhanced volatility to a record. In the Nifty 50, just 16% of its constituents are trading above the 200-day moving average —perceived as a critical support for the medium term. That's the lowest reading in the Asia Pacific region, barring Australia.
NEW DELHI: With Covid-19 spreading and Indian experts saying they will take at least 1.5 years to develop a vaccine, the government has asked major pharma companies that manufacture HIV combination drugs Lopinavir and Ritonavir (which seem to be working against Covid-19) to ramp up their production and keep stock ready for emergency use, people in the know told ET.At a meeting held with the manufacturers on Wednesday, a committee of experts constituted by the Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP) asked companies such as Cipla, Mylan, Aurobindo and Hetero, among others, to evaluate supply chain and keep enough stock ready for India.Lopinavir and Ritonavir are antiretrovirals (ARVs) that block the ability of HIV to bind with healthy cells and reproduce, and are often used in combination to treat HIV. "India exports these antiretrovirals mostly to African countries.Manufacturers were called as we wanted to ensure that in case of any emergency, there shouldn't be any shortage in the country," said a government official. There are no plans to restrict export as of now.India has already used the Lopinavir/Ritonavir combination, a second-line HIV medication, to treat an Italian couple who had tested positive for Covid-19 infection, in Jaipur last month. "It was used on compassionate grounds. The medication was given to them after taking their consent," said Dr Balram Bhargava, DG, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). The couple was administered the combination after they developed severe respiratory problems. "The antiretroviral combination was given to them for 14 days and they are much better now," said another government official. As reported by ET earlier, ICMR had received approval from the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) to allow the lopinavir/ritonavir combination — approved for AIDS treatment — to be used if Covid-19 infections turn into a public health emergency in India. There is currently no known treatment for Covid-19.An expert committee was constituted by ICMR which is deliberating on the new treatment protocol for dealing with Covid-19. "There are no large studies done so far on the treatment of Covid-19. However, as an alternative, ICMR has recommend these drugs for treatment," said a senior health ministry official. A randomised controlled clinical trial is underway in China to test the anti-HIV drugs' efficacy, as per a study published on January 24 in The Lancet. "Results are likely to come in a few weeks," said Soumya Swaminathan, chief scientist, WHO.
BENGALURU | NEW DELHI | MUMBAI: Some of India's largest corporations, a swathe of startups and technology multinationals are asking employees to work from home even as the country reported nearly a dozen new cases of Covid-19 infections on Thursday.Among those offering remote work models include ecommerce majors Flipkart, Snapdeal, transport aggregators Uber and Ola, food delivery company Swiggy, payments provider Paytm as well as IT services companies Wipro and Tech Mahindra.At stock broking startup Zerodha, the entire team of 1,200 has been asked to work from home, founder Nithin Kamath tweeted.Other Bengaluru-based startups such as fintech player Instamojo, edtech platform Unacademy, urban mobility firm Bounce and social commerce company Meesho have asked employees to mandatorily work from home."We have enabled work-from-home in the affected regions to minimise the risk of others getting infected," said a representative for Wipro.India's IT industry, which employs over 3 million, typically has a large number of employees travelling overseas on projects and for client meetings. In keeping with health ministry guidelines, all people returning from countries affected by the Covid-19 have to be in quarantine for 14 days and follow guidelines."We have postponed all internal events that required large gatherings and everyone has been advised to adequately leverage technologies such as tele-presence and video conferencing," said Harshvendra Soin, chief people officer, Tech Mahindra.'Bid to reduce density, risk'Internet commerce companies ranging from Flipkart and Snapdeal to Paytm and Uber are aggressively promoting remote working options among employees."Young parents can work from home," said Rajneesh Kumar, senior vice president, Flipkart Group, adding that workers are being encouraged to use videoconferencing tools to interact with colleagues and customers.Edtech major Byju's has liberalised work-from-home policies, while Snapdeal said it is geared up for all its employees to work remotely.Others such as Paytm, which has recorded an infection at its workplace in the Delhi-NCR region, and Uber are also pushing employees to work from home."We are sure that in the current situation, working from within the safe confines of their homes, the efficiency and productivity of our colleagues would increase," said a representative for Paytm.While Uber has not seen any Covid-19 positive cases in India, the company is allowing employees who are able to work remotely, said a company executive."By asking some employees to not come to office, our goal is to reduce density and risk for everyone else," said Andrew Macdonald, senior vice president for rides and platform, Uber.A spokesperson for Ola said, "Employees have been advised to work from home in case they seem to have any flu-like symptoms as a precautionary measure. As part of our preparedness module, a task force has been created that is actively working with employees. All non-essential inter-city and international travel have been put on hold."Mandatory PolicyRemote working policies have been made mandatory at global technology majors such as Twitter, Nokia and robotic process automation firm UiPath."All employees, including hourly workers, will receive reimbursement toward their home office set-up expenses, and we are working with our vendors to ensure our contractors' work-from-home needs are met as well," said a spokesperson for Twitter.On Thursday, Coal India allowed its over 300,000 employees to skip biometric attendance and move to a manual attendance register system.In several offices, where remote working is not yet mandated, employees reporting unwell have been encouraged to stay home and seek medical help.Telecom major Reliance Jio Infocomm has sent out an internal health advisory asking employees to avoid public meetings, public transport, restrict travel and visitors to office.Indian corporates, technology firms and startups are also educating employees to adopt better hygiene practices, avoid public spaces and seek medical help if they have cough or fever.Metro Cash & Carry India has stepped up medical checkups for people who have travelled to cities reporting Covid-19 cases."Employees who are exhibiting any symptoms will be recommended to self-quarantine and stay at home, wherein we will provide required IT support to facilitate work," said Arvind Mediratta, MD, Metro Cash & Carry India.
Mumbai: Hindustan Unilever, the country's biggest consumer goods firm, lost over 340 basis points in skin cleansing category over the past two years dragged by sharp decline in two of its largest brands— Lux and Lifebuoy — that together accounts for a quarter of the market.HUL, the largest soaps maker, has seen its market share fall from 42.3% in the year ended December 2017 to 38.9% last calendar year, according to industry officials quoting Nielsen data. In the ₹22,000 crore soap segment that is roughly ₹800 crore eroded in a market which is increasingly getting competitive. To be sure, HUL controlled more than half the soap market a decade ago, has seen consistent share loss in the segment but the latest decline has been the steepest.74601916 Parent Unilever, at the Consumer Analyst Group of New York (CAGNY) conference in Florida last month, acknowledged that penetration for the top two skin cleansing brands in India has been down. "As a result, we have seen declining sales and share losses in 2019. We have made specific interventions on price and product quality and we are becoming sharper on our brand messaging and, believe me, this will make all the difference," Unilever's chief financial officer Graeme Pitkethly told investors.A HUL spokesperson said it does not comment on market shares while Nielsen said it does not verify or validate company, brand-related data or market share owing to client confidentiality policies in place.Lux and Lifebuoy put together saw their value market share fall 390 basis points since 2017, while rivals such as Godrej Consumer Products and Reckitt Benckiser gained. While the value share was partly down due to price reductions in the range of 4% to 6% in Lux and Lifebuoy portfolio in July last year, both these brands also lost 350 bps in volume market share, indicating the erosion is largely led by slowing consumer demand for these brands.For HUL, soaps business accounts for roughly a quarter of its annual sales.
Mumbai: Come April 1, some of the popular passenger vehicles to run on Indian roads will go missing as auto manufacturers are rationalising the number of vehicles they produce given the high cost of transition to BS-VI variants. Some of the models to go off the shelf include the Etios, Liva, Corolla Altis from Toyota, KUV100 diesel variant and Bolero Plus from Mahindra, Hexa, Safari Storme, Zest, Bolt and all the older generation cars of Tata Motors, Maruti and Renault diesel cars. While Hyundai has transitioned most of its models to BS-VI, only the Xcent (prime) diesel, which catered to the fleet segment, will be discontinued. Instead, the Korean auto major has launched the Xcent CNG variant for the fleet segment.Industry executives believe that OEMs would replace the vehicles with newer models and variants. With the clamour for gasoline engines growing, auto companies may look at such products in lieu of diesel-powered vehicles, say experts."At Mahindra, we are upgrading most of our current portfolio to BS-VI along with planned new product launches and a couple of limited volume variants that are getting discontinued on account of BS-VI will be replaced with some of our other existing products," said Veejay Nakra, head of sales & marketing of Mahindra's automotive division. The Bolero Plus 9 seater people mover and Plus Ambulance will be discontinued. The KUV100 diesel will be discontinued since the XUV300 is the flagship offering in the compact SUV segment. The KUV100 on gasoline and bi-fuel (gasoline-CNG) variants will continue, adds Nakra. 74601909 It is, however, no surprise that companies are using the BS-VI transition to quietly retire products which did not perform well in the market . Naveen Soni, Sr VP – sales & service of Toyota Kirloskar confirming the discontinuance of Liva and Etios, said "We always study and evaluate the market, continue to understand customer preferences and trends. This also applies to cases when we have to discontinue an existing model to vacate plant capacity for advanced and better technologies to come in. In order to service the needs of our customers, we are now offering Yaris and Glanza in BS-VI avatar against the discontinued Liva and Etios respectively. Apart from the Etios series, we will also be discontinuing the Corolla Altis, having seen a conscious shift in customer preferences from the C sedan segment to C MPV segment."Automobile companies need to see through a prism of commercial viability and the future of the product. Decisions are taken product-wise and the costs involved upgrading the product, said Arun Kumar, ex Nissan India head & auto consultant.The country's largest vehicle manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, however, seems to be unfazed. Shashank Srivastava, ED, (marketing and sales), said "Maruti is manufacturing BS6 vehicles from end January 2020 and this transition from BS-IV to BS-VI was planned a year in advance. Best-selling mass models such as Alto and Baleno were upgraded with BS-VI petrol engines in April 2019. This was closely followed by WagonR, Swift and Dzire in June 2019 and Ertiga in July 2019, XL6 in August 2019, S-PRESSO in September 2019; Eeco, Celerio, Super Carry, Ciaz in January 2020 and Vitara Brezza, IGNIS in February 2020. We had also announced end of BS-IV diesel vehicles nearly a year in advance so that our customers have an informed choice on fuel type."Tata Motors declined to comment. Sources in the know said while Tata Motors will do away with older generation cars, and the focus will be on Nexon, Altroz, Tiago, Tigor, Harrier and the EV segment.Vendors have also been helping and working towards upgrading variants of petrol, CNG, manual/automatic transmission or AMT to BS-VI. But it has not been an easy journey for suppliers with the challenge of supply parts especially given difficult external conditions.
Mumbai: It's time for a brand new wardrobe.Financial planners are borrowing the phraseology of fashion designers, with an equities rout globally making it easier to spot long-term stock winners. So, they are advising investors to take advantage of the 21% Nifty decline by spring-cleaning portfolios, dumping underperforming funds, and buying more stocks.Instead of rushing to the safety of competing asset classes such as gold, or bonds or property, they are advising investors to increase their tactical allocation to equity by 10%. Investors are also being told not to jump from equity to other asset classes on the basis of past returns."Given the steep fall in equity prices, it is natural that investors will want to get out of equity and jump to safer asset classes like gold and debt," says Vidya Bala, founder, Primeinvestor.in.Bala cautions investors against shifting out as domestic gold prices have already run up 19% over the last three months and 38% over the last one year. Yields on the 10-year government securities are at a 10-year low at 6.1% and investors have already earned an average 14% from long-term gilt funds, leaving little room for capital appreciation from these instruments.She suggests investors should stick to equity funds and use this opportunity to clean up their portfolios.A sharp polarisation in the equity markets has led to several funds underperforming their benchmark indices over the last three years. This fall gives investors an opportunity to exit such funds and move to better-performing funds in the same category.Investors contributing to systematic investment plans (SIPs) every month should continue these as doing so gives them the benefit of rupee cost averaging."Over the long term, SIPs give you the benefit of compounding.They also give you the benefit of rupee cost averaging as you buy more units due to the fall in markets," says Anup Bhaiya, MD and CEO, Money Honey Financial Services.Financial planners point out that many investors who allocate money based on valuation parameters like price-to-earnings or price-to-book and were underweight equities in their portfolio could use this fall to increase allocation."Investors who had just a 50% allocation to equities could increase it to 60% taking advantage of the sharp fall in equity prices," says S Shankar, certified financial planner, Credo Capital. Shankar suggests investors allocate to multicap funds that give the discretion to a fund manager to invest in a mix of large-, mid- and smallcap stocks.
NEW DELHI: As India's equity benchmarks slipped into the bear territory, analysts do not expect the ongoing stocks correction to end anytime soon.Some estimates on Dalal Street forecast Nifty to tank all the way to the 8,800-8,100 levels, which would mean another 5-15 per cent correction from its current level. At 9,590, the Nifty50 is down 23 per cent from its all-time high of 12,430 hit on January 20, 2020.AK Prabhakar of IDBI Capital expects the ongoing slide in stocks to extend to 35 per cent. This estimate pegs Nifty bottom at 8,100.Amar Ambani of YES Securities said the slide towards 8,800 level looks a possibility. However, he sees a strong support for the index at 9,550. In its worst ever fall, Nifty50 on Thursday tumbled 868 points, or 8.30 per cent, to 9,590, wiping off nearly Rs 12 lakh crore worth of equity investor worth.G Chokkalingam, Founder of Equinomics Research and Advisory, expects at least 5 per cent further downside in case the number of coronavirus cases spikes in India.So far, India has recorded 73 cases. To shield against the outbreak, the government on Wednesday suspended all existing visas, except for diplomatic, official and UN organisations until April 15. Globally, the US decision to ban travel from Europe spooked financial markets globally. There is speculation as to whether the global economy is headed for a recession.In a poll on ETMarkets.com, 44 per cent of readers said they expect over 10 per cent further fall for in Nifty in the coming three months. Another 10 per cent expects the downslide to be in the 5-10 per cent range.At the same time, 41 per cent of the readers who participated in the poll expect the market to recover over 10 per cent in next one quarter."We won't be able to time a market bottom, but can systematically stagger buying on such panic days as a strategy. High quality positive cashflow-generating businesses are the best options in uncertain times like this," said Paras Bothra, President of Equity Research, Ashika Stock Broking.Bothra said while parallels are being drawn with the 2008 crash, the market cap-to-GDP ratio is quite low this time, leverage in the system remains contained and the earnings cycle is at its trough, giving incremental confidence to rather buy this fall in tranches."During this corrective phase of the market, cash is king and generating more cash by exiting the weaker stocks can be a wise move. Avoid leveraged F&O positions. Capital protection or preserving Capital is most important," IDBI Capital saidThe brokerage said post every correction, the market has always delivered extraordinary returns. "This is the time to systematically accumulate high quality stocks in a staggered manner in the form of monthly SIP with a 3-5 years horizon," it said.
NEW DELHI: Mobile handset sales in the country are set to fall 8-15% in the current quarter and by up to 30% in the quarter ending June when the full impact on supply chain due to the Covid-19 outbreak will show up, analysts say.Market intelligence firm TechArc has predicted 25-30% on-quarter decline in April-June sales as inventory replenishment will not happen at the desired rate owing to supply chain issue starting end of February, while International Data Corporation (IDC) has lowered its shipment estimates for the current quarter ending this month. CyberMedia Research (CMR) said handset shipment in the first quarter of the calendar year could see a potential decline of 8-10% while there is possibility of full-blown sharper impact on the smartphone market in the second quarter. Counterpoint Research estimates that overall India shipments will be down 15% this quarter."If the Covid-19 situation remains critical, the India smartphone market will be further impacted, especially the first two months of June ending quarter," said Prachir Singh, senior research analyst at Counterpoint Research.According to CMR's numbers, both smartphone and feature phone shipments grew in January and had remained stable through February 2020. "Thus far, smartphone brands have been able to sail high, thanks to an adequate stock of smartphone components in anticipation of the Chinese New Year," said Prabhu Ram, head of the industry intelligence group at CMR.Analysts predicted sales of 31-32 million phones in the country in the first quarter, giving flat growth on year and a cyclical decline sequentially."The impact on smartphone sales in the current quarter was moderated by the sellout of previous year's festive inventory pile up in the offline segment," said Upasana Joshi, associate research manager at IDC. However, if the revival in the supply chain does not start by mid-next quarter, there might be a significant on year drop in sales, she said.Handset players in India, including major Chinese brands such as Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo and OnePlus, assemble their devices within the country but are heavily dependent on China for parts such as display, battery, memory and printed circuit boards. Battery and some camera modules are made in Vietnam, while displays and connectors are majorly made in China. Chips are made in Taiwan but are sent to China for the final buildup. At Wuhan, the Chinese city that is the epicentre of the Covid-19 outbreak, major component factories are currently running at 40% of their capacity. Although the extended Lunar New Year holiday ended on February 9, many workers still haven't returned to work, according to reports.
