Post-market summary

Global signals

The European stocks rose in early trade on Friday, March 19, 2010, hitting a 17-month high, with banking shares trading higher. At the time of writing this report, FTSE 100 was trading 0.78% higher.

Asian indices across the spectrum — Nikkie to Straits Times to Kospi — closed higher. The SGX Nifty closed at 5268, up 13 points.

The US stock futures pointed to a mixed opening on the Wall Street on Friday.

Indian indices

Higher Dow Jones yesternight and strong Asian indices this morning helped Indian indices open a marginal 12 points up at 17531. Leveraging on previous two days’ gains, the market traded with a positive bias all through the day. Upgradation of India’s debt-rating outlook from “negative” to “stable” by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) rating services helped the cause. However, as aforesaid in the morning report, it languished within a tight band of 17502-17600 due to lack of triggers.

Buying in the Sensex components such as Reliance Industries and Bharti Airtel propelled the index to 17600 levels. The Sensex, which had gained nearly 380 points in the last three sessions, added 59 points to its kitty to close at 17,578 points. The Nifty closed 17 points up at 5263.

Despite trading in the narrow range, all the sectoral indices closed higher, except realty and IT. The BSE realty slid the most, by 0.95%, followed by BSE IT that down by 0.45%.

Fedders Lloyd


Investors with a short-term trading perspective can buy the stock of Fedders Lloyd Corporation. The stock is moving in a very narrow band between Rs 75 and Rs 85 since March 3. Since this sideways move follows the small upward burst after the Union Budget from the trough of Rs 71, the stock can attempt to move higher in the near-term. It managed to close above the short-term resistance around Rs 80 as well as its 50-day moving average on Thursday. The 14-day relative strength index has moved to near 60, that is the bullish zone, and the 10-day rate of change oscillator is also reversing higher from the zero line implying that the near-term uptrend could sustain in the stock.

The stock is also in a strong medium-term uptrend since the March 2009 low. Though there was a pause in this uptrend since January 12, the fact that the stock retraced only 30 per cent of its prior uptrend denotes that the medium-term trend continues to be up. The stock can be bought with for the short-term with the target of Rs 85 and Rs 90 with the stop at Rs 76.5.

Joy of being stable!


Being born in a stable does not make one a horse- Arthur Wellesley.

The main indices managed to gallop towards the end following S&P’s upgrade of India’s ratings outlook. The key indices might just be able to stretch the winning streak a little bit more today. But remember, all stocks need to participate on the ‘stable’ outlook.

We expect a positive but sedate start and a choppy session. Volume may remain low, as has been the case lately. Select stocks will remain in the spotlight owing to the newsflow. Reports mention chances of a dollar carry trade benefiting the Indian market, similar to the yen carry trade a couple of years ago.

Cues from global markets are neither spectacular nor weak. Concerns over Greece prevail amid lack of cohesion in the EU. The nation now may resort to aid from the IMF. Worries over stringent new norms for Wall Street banks have ebbed even as the war of words persists between the US and China over yuan revaluation.

Wall Street had an indecisive session. The Dow rose for eighth straight day while the S&P ended in red. European stocks were weighed down by uncertainty over Greece. Asian markets are mixed.

Barring a few days, market breadth has been generally negative even on days when the main indices have advanced. This is a cause for concern as in a low-volume, shallow market there is always a chance that the market’s gain may not accurately reflect the reality. So, don’t get carried away if the Nifty breaches 5300 or the Sensex surpasses 18000.

Apply your mind and do your homework before taking a plunge into any stock, as valuations are not cheap. Though the key indices are nearing their previous 52-week highs, bulls don't appear to be entirely convinced. This leaves the market vulnerable to fresh selling.

FIIs were net buyers in the cash segment on Thursday at Rs4.85bn on a provisional basis. Local funds were net sellers of Rs531.5mn, according to figures published on the NSE's web site. In the F&O segment, the foreign funds were net buyers of Rs11.06bn. On Wednesday, FIIs were net buyers of Rs11.71bn in the cash segment, as per the SEBI web site. Mutual Funds were net buyers of Rs328mn on the same day.

Indian markets ended with modest gains on Thursday with the key indices getting a late boost from news that Standard & Poor’s has raised India’s outlook to stable from negative.

If you take out the last 15 minutes of trade, there was hardly anything to rejoice for the bulls. The key indices were stuck in a range for most part of the day after three successive days of gains. Global cues were rather sluggish amid renewed worries over Greece.

It was a relatively a dull day as bulls seemed to take a breather after a three day broad-based rally. After opening with a positive bias, markets turned lackluster and were unable to build on to the opening gains.

The BSE Sensex marginally added 29 points to end at 17,519 after touching a high of 17,548 and a low of 17,417. The NSE Nifty added 14 points to end at 5,246.

In Asia, the Nikkei in Japan was down 1%, while Australia's S&P/ASX gained by 0.2%. Shanghai SE Composite advanced by 1.9% and Hang Seng index in Hong Kong was down 0.3%.

In Europe, stocks were trading with a negative bias. The DAX in Germany was down 0.2%, the CAC 40 index in France was down 0.3% and the FTSE in the UK was down 0.2%.

Coming back to India, among the BSE sectoral indices, the Bank index was the top gainer, adding 0.6%, followed by the Teck index that was up 0.6% and the BSE Metal index was up 0.5%. The BSE Mid-Cap and BSE Small-Cap index added 0.4% and 0.2% respectively.

Outside the frontline indices, the big gainers in the broader market were Indian Hotels, TTML, Idea, Welspun Guj and IRB Infra. On the other hand, losers included Hindustan Copper, RCF, Moser Baer and Tulip Tele.

Shares of Tata Teleservices advanced 4.5% to Rs24.65 after the company announced that the board of directors approved sale of 100% equity shares held by the company in 21st Century Infra Tele Ltd to Wireless - TT Info Services Ltd.

The towers have been valued at Rs52 Lacs per tower with an Enterprise Value of Rs13.18bn. This transaction will result in a net cash inflow to the Company (subject to adjustment at the time of payment) in excess of Rs9bn.

Shares of Bajaj Electricals advanced by 3% to end at Rs212.5 after ~3.67mn equity shares, or 3.8% of its equity, changed hands in 6 block deals on the BSE. The scrip opened at Rs207 it touched an intra-day high of Rs219 and a low of Rs207 and recorded volumes of over 7.7mn shares on BSE.

United Bank of India, the public sector lender started trading with healthy gains on the bourse. The stock got listed at Rs75 per share as against its issue price of Rs66. Finally, the stock ended at Rs68.80 translating in to a premijm of 7.5%. The state-run bank fixed the issue price of its IPO at Rs66 per share - the upper end of its price band - raising Rs3.25bn through the issue. The IPO was subscribed over 33 times.

Fedders Lloyd's announced that its Power Division has bagged orders worth Rs2.57bn from M.P. Madhya Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Co. Ltd., Bhopal. Shares of Fedders Lloyd shot up by over 5% to end at Rs80. The scrip opened at Rs77 it touched an intra-day high of Rs87 and a low of Rs77 and recorded volumes of over 0.11mn shares on BSE.

Shares of Punj Lloyd slipped by 0.5% to end at Rs172 after media reports stated that the IT department raided the offices of Punj Lloyd. Later, the company’s spokeswoman said that the Income Tax officials visited Punj Llyod Ltd.’s “sites” for a “routine inquiry,” today and we are fully co-operating,” with the tax department, she added.

HDIL clarified that it has not raised any money selling shares to institutions, MD Sarang Wadhawan was quoted as saying on a news channel. This news is totally baseless, he added. Media reports had stated that the company shelved its follow-on QIP after receiving tepid response from investors.

Shares of HDIL ended flat at Rs303. The scrip opened at Rs302 it touched an intra-day high of Rs306 and a low of Rs299 and has recorded volumes of over 1.6mn shares on BSE.

Bullion metals end mixed


Gold manages to add gains despite strong dollar

Precious metal prices ended mixed on Thursday, 18 March 2010. Gold prices rose marginally as the dollar went up following renewed concerns over Greece's fiscal problems. Silver prices slipped.

Generally, a stronger dollar pressures demand for dollar-denominated commodities, such as crude oil and gold, which become more expensive for holders of other currencies and also vice versa.

On Thursday, gold for April delivery ended at $1,127.5 an ounce, higher by $3.3 (0.3%) an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange. During intra day trading, gold rose to a high of $1,129.5. Last week, gold fell 2.4%. In FY 2010, gold touched a high of $1,154 in January.

In the currency market on Thursday, the dollar index, which measures the strength of the dollar against basket of six other currencies rose by 0.6%.

The latest FOMC policy statement that came out earlier during the week was little changed from previous directives. The Fed has left its target federal funds rate unchanged at a range of 0.00% to 0.25% and the Fed said that it continues to expect an exceptionally low level for an extended period.

On Capitol Hill, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testified on Wednesday about efforts to reform banking regulation, telling Congress the Fed's participation in the oversight of banks improves its ability to carry out its monetary goals.

Gold had ended FY 2009 higher by 24%. Silver futures had ended 2009 up 50%. The dollar index had lost 4.2% against its counterparts last year.

Last year, after hitting a low at $807.30 per ounce on 15 January 2009, gold futures rallied almost 51% to hit an all-time high at $1217.40 per ounce during early December of 2009 but fell from those levels at the end. Silver futures had hit a low at $10.42 on 15 January 2009 and hit a high at $19.30 per ounce on 2 December 2009. Like gold, silver also ended lower than its all time high level.

At the MCX, gold prices for April delivery closed higher by Rs 81 (0.48%) at Rs 16,768 per ten grams. Prices rose to a high of Rs 16,780 per 10 grams and fell to a low of Rs 16,638 per 10 grams during the day's trading.

At the MCX, silver prices for May delivery closed Rs 63 (0.23%) lower at Rs 27,106/Kg. Prices opened at Rs 27,158/kg and fell to a low of Rs 26,957/Kg during the day's trading.

Crude falters


Prices end lower as dollar firms up

Crude prices rose 9.3% in February as supply-and-demand issues began to take hold in a market for months dominated by moves in the dollar. Prices have ranged between $69 and $84 a barrel since October. Crude has risen 71% in last one year.

Doubts about the euro zone's aid plan for the debt-strapped Greek government resurfaced amid talk that Greece might resort to help from the International Monetary Fund.

In the currency market on Thursday, the dollar index, which measures the strength of the dollar against basket of six other currencies rose by 0.6%.

Among economic data for the day, the Labor Dept reported that in the week ended 13 March, initial claims dropped to a seasonally-adjusted 457,000 from 462,000 in the prior week.

Other than that, the Conference Board's index of leading economic indicators climbed 0.1% in February for an 11th consecutive monthly rise, with the private research group predicting conditions will improve modestly in the near term. Also, manufacturing activity in the Philadelphia region improved for a seventh consecutive month, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.

The EIA also said the week's gasoline supplies fell by 1.7 million barrels and distillate stocks dropped by 1.5 million barrels. Market had expected declines of 1.5 million barrels for gasoline and 1.6 million barrels for distillates.

Yesterday, Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries decided to keep its production quota unchanged.

IEA was the latest one to raise demand forecast for crude last week. The IEA revised up by 70,000 barrels a day its oil demand forecast for 2010, pointing to growth in Asia. As per the report, global oil demand is expected to rise by 1.6 million barrels a day, or 1.8% year-on-year, to 86.6 million barrels a day in 2010. In contrast, demand is estimated to have contracted by 1.2 million barrels a day, or 1.4% year-on-year, to 85.0 million barrels a day in 2009.

The report detailed that after five consecutive quarters of decline, global oil demand began growing again on a yearly basis in the fourth quarter of 2009. However, this year's demand growth will be fueled entirely by emerging countries, particularly those in Asia.

Among other energy products on Thursday, gasoline for April delivery fell 0.9 cents to $2.30 a gallon, while heating oil for the same month fell 1.9 cents to $2.12 a gallon.

Also on Thursday, natural gas for April delivery fell 21.3 cents, or 5%, to $4.09 per million British thermal units. It earlier traded as high as $4.33 per million Btus. Natural-gas futures fell 5% after the EIA said U.S. supplies of natural gas in storage fell by 11 billion cubic feet, much less than expected.

Crude ended FY 2009 higher by 78%, the highest yearly gain since 1999. It reached a high of $82 earlier in October 2009 and hit a low of $33.98 on 12 February 2009. Oil prices had reached a high of $147 on 11 July, 2008 but have dropped almost 45% since then. Crude prices had ended FY 2008 lower by 54%, the largest yearly loss since trading began at Nymex.
