BREAKING - Bharti Airtel - MTN Deal off!


The much-anticipated deal between India's Bharti and South Africa's MTN that aimed to merge the two telecom giant has failed yet again. The contentious issue of dual listing proved to be the deal breaker, learns CNBC-TV18.

Bharti, in a statement, said, the company has decided to disengage itself from the deal. “We hope the South African government will review its position in the future and allow both the companies an opportunity to re-engage.” The statement further said that the South African government had expressed its inability to accept it in the current form. Also, it stated, Bharti would continue to explore international expansion opportunity and could also re-look at the deal if the SA government changes position.

The market is likely to remain under pressure following the weak Asian indices in the ongoing trades. However, prevailing strong bullish sentiment may help the market to remain positive with a sideways movement during intra-day trades.

ETC Networks


We recommend a buy in the stock of ETC Networks from a short-term perspective. It is apparent from the charts that the stock found support at Rs 50, a key long-term support level in March, and reversed direction. Since then it has been on an intermediate-term uptrend. Following a short-term correction, the stock resumed its intermediate-term uptrend from the middle of July. Later on, it breached its 50-day moving average and is trading well above it. The stock broke through a key medium-term resistance at Rs 150 by jumping 10 per cent with above average-volume on September 29. Both daily and weekly relative strength indices (RSI) are featuring in the bullish territory. The daily moving average convergence and divergence indicator has signalled a buy and is hovering in the positive territory. Considering that the intermediate-term up trendline of the stock is intact, we are bullish from a short-term horizon. We expect the stock to rally until it hits our price target of Rs 174. Traders with a short-term perspective can buy the stock while maintaining a stop-loss at Rs 150.

OIL’s well, that starts well!


Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.

The opening moments will be dominated more by Oil India’s listing. The market will be keen to see how the stock behaves after a tepid debut for Adani Power and NHPC. We expect another positive start though Asian stock markets are mixed after overnight losses on Wall Street. If global cues remain indecisive the market might just turn choppy again being a curtailed week.

Chief economic advisor says India will grow at 7% this fiscal. It’s become a habit for top bureaucrats and government officials to talk about GDP growth. Take each prediction with a pinch of salt. Still, there is no denying that India will do well, notwithstanding the deficit monsoon. Fund flows are likely to remain strong as money tends to chase visibility in growth and earnings.

The tricky part is the market has already had a terrific run in anticipation of the imminent rebound. So, it remains to be seen how long the current momentum continues. The scope for further advance does appear to be limited and every rise will be interrupted with periodic falls. Overall the mood remains upbeat.

A slew of real estate players are planning IPOs. This includes a few dodgy names. So buyers beware. India Inc’s money raising binge continues with more and more companies feeling confident about approaching investors.

The Government has stuck to its borrowing programme for the second half. Fiscal deficit may or may not shoot up depending on how the economy shapes up. The Centre will release the latest fiscal deficit figures today. The RBI will come out with the Balance of Payment and Current Account Deficit data.

The RBI's monetary policy stance going ahead will hinge on the intensity and pace of an impending spike in inflation. Most experts expect it to be among the first central banks in the world to start raising rates. The story is different in other parts of the world, where inflation is yet to rear its ugly head. In fact, prices are declining in advanced economies like the US, Europe and Japan.

FIIs were net buyers of Rs7.14bn in the cash segment on Monday on a provisional basis. The local funds were net buyers of Rs917.7mn, according to figures published on the NSE's web site. In the F&O segment, the foreign funds were net buyers at Rs6.97bn. On Friday, FIIs were net buyers of Rs33.12bn in the cash segment. The net FII investments in Indian stocks this year have crossed $11.8bn. Mutual Funds were net sellers of Rs1.07bn on Friday.

The US employment recovery is not in sight until next year, which is a major cause for concern as subdued American consumers is bad news for the global economy. On the other hand, there are a few worries on China's method of pump-priming and whether it can sustain the pace. This reinforces a growing view that the world economic recovery will be a gradual one rather than a swift one. The next batch of quarterly earnings will provide more clues. Meanwhile, the recent pick-up in M&As does bode well.

US stocks ended lower on Tuesday as a surprise drop in consumer confidence offset a better-than-expected housing market report. That added to lingering concerns about the strength of an economic recovery.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 47 points, or 0.5%, to 9,742.20. The S&P 500 index lost 2 points, or 0.2%, to 1,060.61. The Nasdaq Composite index shed 2 points, or 0.2%, to 2,124.04.

US stocks turned lower after the release of the consumer confidence report. By afternoon, stocks turned volatile.

In the day's main economy news, consumer confidence dropped in September, potentially a bad sign ahead of the critical holiday retail sales period. The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index fell to 53.1 from 54.5 in August. Economists were expecting the index to rise to 57.

Prices dropped 13.3% in July versus a year ago, a decline that was slower than the drop of 14.2% economists were expecting. Prices fell 15.4% year-over-year in June.

Treasury prices slumped, raising the yield on the benchmark 10-year note to 3.29% from 3.28% late on Monday.

Tuesday is the first anniversary of the Dow's biggest one-day point loss of all time, when the average plummeted 777.68 points and the broad market knocked out $1.2 trillion in value. The plunge followed the House of Representatives' decision to reject the government's then $700 billion bank bailout plan.

The crash followed a brutal two-week roller-coaster, triggered by the near-meltdown of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

European shares advanced, led by gains in financials such as French-headquartered BNP Paribas after it said that it will sell 4.3 billion euros ($6.27 billion) of shares in a rights issue to help it repay the French government's investment in the bank.

The pan-European Dow Jones Stoxx 600 index advanced 0.2% to 243.61, extending the 1.8% gain when deal making moved back on the global stage.
