Market Close: Cheers to Lalu's Railway Budget..


On back of strong global cues, market had a modest start. Sensex traded ranged in green throughout the day. But in the last hour of trade, there was some profit booking which led the indices to loose some gains. Mid caps and small caps outsmarted the large caps. Market once again flared ahead of budget. Realty, IT, Power, Metals and Oil & gas sector were among gainers. Tea sector witnessed huge buying. Railway budget was presented today by the famous Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and as usual it was cherished as it proved to be a good one. Major future plans were chalked, which also provided some hope for orders to IT companies like TCS , Wipro , Infosys and Satyam. Asian indices closed in positive. Europe is trading in green.

Sensex ended up by 156 points at 17806.18. It was helped up by gains in Grasim (3042.7,+5 percent), Rel Energy (1697.25,+5 percent), BHEL (2180.55,+5 percent), Infosys (1662.1,+3 percent) and HDFC Bk (1455,+2 percent). Restricting the gains were Bharti Tele (838.8,-1 percent), Hero Honda (734.1,-1 percent), HDFC (2574.3501,0 percent), Tata Motors (702.1,0 percent) and SBI (2119.8501,0 percent).

The Railway Budget proved to be beneficiary to some industries like Steel, Technology, Capital goods and Infrastucutre. Budget chalked out plans to introduced steel coaches by 2010. This will benefit Tata Steel , Jindal Steel , Sail and few more. The other measures to see positives are.. Automated signalling..Kernex Micro. ETA display in long-run trains to benefit Mic Electronics. CCTV, metal detectors installation is expected to benefit Zicom . Anti-fire protection to benefit Nitin Fire Protection. The budget will have online control of trains in 2 years. It plans to link trains via software communication by 2009. It plans to start ticket confirmation via mobile phones. The Budet is planning 'smart card' based ticket system. SMART CARDS will benefit Bartronics.

McLeod Russel India Ltd (McLeod) is largest a tea plantation company in the world. Mcleod. It has around 52 tea estates with total capacity of 70mn kg. Tea production is expected to be stagnant with limited land availability. This has led to good realisation and it is expected to futher go up. For short term Kenya's drought problem and political issues has affected production there. McLeod Russel sees a rise of Rs 5-7 for the rest of the year in tea prices. On this hopes the stock rose and locked at upper circuit.

Technically Speaking: Markets closed 155 points in green. Sensex made an intra day high of 17860 and low of 17679. The breadth was in favor of Advances, as there were 1613 Advances against 1110 Declines. Market turnover was low at Rs 4818 cr. Sensex support stands at 17450. Resistance lies at 18000.

Market gives thumbs up to rail budget; Sensex garners 156 points


The market extended Monday (25 February 2008)'s gains after Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav provided thrust on modernising rail infrastructure in Railway Budget 2008-09 which he presented to parliament today. Keeping the common man in mind, the railway minister also cut passenger fares, with parliamentary elections due in 2009. Firm global markets also helped support domestic bourses.

The 30-share BSE Sensex rose 155.62 points or 0.88% at 17,806.19. It opened 148.99 points higher at 17,799.56. Sensex hit a high of 17,860.10 in late trade. At day’s high Sensex gained 209.53 points. Sensex hit a low of 17,678.74 in afternoon trade. At the day's low, Sensex was up 28.17 points.

The broader based S&P CNX Nifty was up 69.35 points or 1.33% at 5,270.05.

Metal, capital goods, banking, realty and power stocks rose. Reliance Energy and Infosys soared in late trade.

The market breadth was strong. Mid-cap and small-cap indices outperformed Sensex. 19 stocks from 30-member Sensex pack were in the green.

Railway Minister Lalu Prasad today announced a cut in freight rates by 5% on petrol and diesel in the Railway Budget for 2008/09. He also announced a reduction of 5% in fares for second class sleeper-class passengers. Yadav cut the fare of air conditioned (AC) I-tier by 7%, AC II-tier by 4%, and AC III-tier by 3%. The Indian railways will offer discounts on charges for freight booked during lean seasons Yadav told parliament in his budget speech.

The Railway Minister said Indian Railways will report a cash surplus of Rs 25,000 crore in FY 2007-08. Railways will invest Rs 75,000 crore to upgrade infrastructure over the next seven years and also to start making steel coaches from FY 2009 and introduce them from FY 2010. There will be no peak season surcharge on cement transport.

Railways plan to upgrade 50 container terminals across the country which includes Mumbai and Chandigarh terminals. The Railways will begin 25-30 tonne axle load trains.

BSE clocked a turnover Rs 4818 crore compared to Monday (25 February 2008)'s Rs 5,666.57 crore.

Nifty February 2008 futures were at 5259.35, at a discount of 10.7 points as compared to spot closing of 5270.05.

The NSE's futures & options (F&O) segment turnover was Rs 56,515.69 crore, which was higher than Rs 51,314.54 crore on Monday, 25 February 2008.

As per provisional data, FIIs sold shares worth a net Rs 31.99 crore today, 26 February 2008. Domestic funds bought shares worth a net Rs 511.33 crore.

As per reports, the government has clarified that lending and borrowing of securities under the securities lending and borrowing scheme will not attract Securities Transaction Tax (STT) or capital gains tax. However, it is not clear if sale and repurchase transactions made on the basis of borrowed securities would be taxable.

The next major trigger for the market is the Union Budget 2008-09. With general elections due in 2009, Union Budget 2008-09 to be presented on 29 February 2008 will be the last full-fledged budget of the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government and it is therefore likely to be a populist budget. Thus, the Finance Minister (FM) is likely to provide higher allocations to several social initiatives like rural upliftment, employment, education, agricultural growth and public health.

Though populist measures will dominate the budget, FM is also expected to take steps to stimulate investment and consumption demand at a time when the economy is witnessing moderation from a solid growth last year. A reduction in personal income tax, if any, will result in increase in disposable incomes which in turn may boost demand for consumer goods.

Expectations are that the corporate income tax rate may be cut or the 10% surcharge on corporate tax may be abolished. The surcharge is 10% on a tax rate of 30%, making the effective corporate tax rate 33%. Another possibility is that of a cut in dividend distribution tax from 15% to 12.5%. Meanwhile, FM may raise the Securities Transaction Tax slightly.

It is also expected that the FM would announce some relief packages for troubled export sensitive sectors like textiles, rubber, jewelry, leather and IT services. These sectors have been hit by rupee’s surge in the past one year.

The Indian railways will offer discounts on charges for freight booked during lean seasons Yadav told parliament in his budget speech.

The Railway Minister said Indian Railways will report a cash surplus of Rs 25,000 crore in FY 2008-09. Railways will invest Rs 75,000 crore to upgrade infrastructure over the next seven years and also to start making steel coaches from FY 2009 and introduce them from FY 2010.

The next major trigger for the market is the Union Budget 2008-09.

Thus, the Finance Minister (FM) is likely to provide higher allocations to several social initiatives like rural upliftment, employment, education, agricultural growth and public health.

Though populist measures will dominate the budget, FM is also expected to take steps to stimulate investment and consumption demand at a time when the economy is witnessing moderation from a solid growth last year. A reduction in personal income tax, if any, will result in increase in disposable incomes which in turn may boost demand for consumer goods.

Expectations are that the corporate income tax rate may be cut or the 10% surcharge on corporate tax may be abolished. The surcharge is 10% on a tax rate of 30%, making the effective corporate tax rate 33%. Another possibility is that of a cut in dividend distribution tax from 15% to 12.5%. Meanwhile, FM may raise the Securities Transaction Tax slightly.

It is also expected that the FM would announce some relief packages for troubled export sensitive sectors like textiles, rubber, jewelry, leather and IT services. These sectors have been hit by rupee’s surge in the past one year.

Bulls hope to stay on track!


Life barrels on like a runaway train where the passengers change,
they don't change anything, you get off someone else can get on.

The markets resemble a runaway train since Monday. Some getting in, some getting off. After all it is better to get off comfortably at your destination rather than being thrown out for ticketless travel (read leveraged play). With the railway budget set to be a populist one, the bulls will hope that they manage to chug ahead. Expectations are that the railway minister many announce reduction in certain passenger fares and freight rates.

The global cues will lend support at start. The outlook for today is a good opening led by some follow on buying. Depending on the budget announcements, certain sectors and stocks will have a field day. Profit booking at higher levels could always set in as the near term outlook remains a worry. Get in and get out as per your risk profile. Monday’s start brought in hopes of a long awaited pre-budget rally. How long that lasts, remains to be seen.

A mix of surging costs and a steel shortage could bring steel stocks in limelight unless the railway minister decides to spoil sentiment. Globally, further hikes are expected in steel.

Watch out for action in tea counters too.

However, having said that, even a bad day in the US market is enough to turn the sentiments negative. It also shows that one cannot take any rally for granted, as all the gains of a day can easily be wiped out in a minutes. Stock specific action would continue.
