INTERNATIONAL:

Asian share markets slipped early Wednesday as a relentless slide in oil prices
wiped out an attempted rally on Wall Street and dealt a fresh blow to risk appetite.
U.S. stocks closed mixed Tuesday, stabilizing after a sharply lower start to the year
despite pressure from a fresh decline in oil prices. European stocks came off session
highs but posted strong gains by Tuesday's close after a positive trading day in Asia,
a mixed bag of earnings and a rebound in mining stocks. Crude futures slumped
again in early Asian trade on Wednesday, with U.S. oil falling to its lowest since
September 2003 below $28 a barrel on worries over a global supply. That came as
the International Energy Agency, which advises industrialized countries on energy
policy, warned on Tuesday that oil markets could "drown in oversupply". U.S. crude
futures were trading down 46 cents at $28.00 a barrel after dropping to $27.92 in
yesterdays session - a new low since September 2003. While Brent futures dropped
19 cents to $28.57 a barrel after settling up 21 cents, or 0.7 per cent, in the
previous session hovering close to a 12-year low.

a similar pace over a couple of years extending beyond 2019. It also added that the
various macro parameters show that India has and is likely to perform better than

by exporters and banks.
