Indian indices

After a spectacular performance on Monday April 05, 2010, the domestic markets closed on a flat note today. The Indian market traded in a very tight band throughout the session. The indices hit their new 25-month high in early trades, but faced stiff resistance on these levels and traded within a very limited range the whole day.

Sensex opened merely 5 points higher (at 17940) and fluctuated between negative and positive territory all across the session. Strong opening of European markets helped the Sensex to touch the day’s high of 17991. The day’s low was 17898. The Sensex flirted with the 18000 mark, but was not able to break the psychological level. However, at the finishing line, Sensex trimmed most of its gains and closed at 17941, mere 6 points higher. The Nifty shut at 5366, 2 points lower.

Market sentiment

Advancing shares outnumbered trailing ones. Of the 2,980 stocks traded on the BSE, 1,745 or (59%) stocks advanced, whereas 1,166 or (39%) stocks declined. Sixty nine stocks remained unchanged.

Sectoral & stock screening

Realty stocks continued to draw investor interest for the second straight day with BSE Realty up by 1.40%. On other hand, auto stocks were under pressure with BSE Auto down by 1.02%. The rest of the sectors were either up or down below 1%.

The star stock of the day was Great Eastern Shipping that was up by 5.81%, followed by Indian Overseas Bank that surged 5.70% and Allahabad Bank that rose by 5.63%. On second straight day, Bharat Electronics was among the major losers trading 4.60% lower, followed by HCL Technologies that fell by 3.77% and Cipla that shed 3.18%.

In the cash market, the S&P CNX Nifty fell 2.40 points or 0.04% at 5,366.

Asian stocks advance strongly


Most of the indices end in green on buying in resources

The Asian stocks rose today as strong overnight US cues and continued buying interest in metals and resources stocks proved instrumental. The Reserve Bank of Australia raised interest rates by 0.25 %age points as recent economic data suggested that that the risk of a serious economic contraction has passed, and that Australia's economic growth is back to normal. That took the official cash rate target to 4.25 per cent. However, the US dollar stayed upbeat, eroding some gains for the equities, as a section of the market focused on media reports stating that Greece wants to amend its aid deal with the European Union to bypass the International Monetary Fund.

The Aussie stocks snapped an 18-month high following the central bank's decision. The All Ordinaries gained 48 points to 4,974, and the ASX 200 closed 46 points higher at 4,954. The New Zealand stocks gained for a third straight session, boosted by a rally in heavyweight Telecom and solid domestic economic data.

Business Optimism in New Zealand increased in March, according to the latest survey results from the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research. The group's quarterly business opinion survey, released Tuesday, showed a seasonally adjusted net 36 % of firms expecting improved conditions over the coming six months, compared to 23 % feeling that way for the December quarter. The NZX 50 average rose 33 points or 1% to close at a three-month high of 3,309. Within the index, 23 stocks gained, 15 declined while 12 others closed unchanged.

The Chinese market closed flat after a long weekend flat though the raw-material producers fared well on speculation improving recovery prospects will boost demand for commodities. The Shanghai Composite average closed at 3,159, almost unchanged on the day.

Japanese shares dropped though, ending a three session losing winning streak, as investors locked in profits following recent strong gains. The benchmark Nikkei fell 57 points or 0.5% to 11,282, while the broader Topix index of all first section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange ended down 5 points or 0.49% at 991.

On Wall Street yesterday, stocks spurted as the markets reacted positively to the strongest jobs report in three years along with better than expected news from the housing and service sectors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.4% to 10973.55, its highest close since Sept. 26, 2008. The Standard & Poor's 500 advanced 0.8% to 1187.44, its highest close since the same date, and its biggest one-day gain since March 5. The sentiment was buoyed by a better-than-expected reading from the Institute for Supply Management's non-manufacturing index, which showed broad improvement in service-sector businesses in March.

In Mumbai, key benchmark indices were little changed at close after moving between positive and negative zone in intraday trade. The BSE Sensex and the S&P CNX Nifty retraced after striking fresh 25-month highs in intra-day trade. The BSE Sensex pared gains after coming within a striking distance of the psychological 18,000 mark. European stocks were trading higher while Asian stocks ended on a mixed note. The Sensex was up 14.81 points or 0.08%, up 52.49 points from the day's low and off 40.92 points from the day's high.

In other markets, Korean stocks surged on strong advances in the other markets in early moves but pared gains later on. The benchmark KOSPI rose 1 point or 0.06% to close at 1,726. The markets in Hong Kong and Thailand were shut for holidays.

In commodities, strengthening dollar exerted some selling pressure on the prices in the later part of the day. The front month Nymex May crude oil futures contract came off a high near $87 and currently trades at $86.66, up 6 cents on the day on Globex. The Gold prices slipped as the expiry of the April counter took a toll. The June futures were last seen hovering at $1126, down $7.8 per ounce from the previous close.

After clocking 9% plus growth for three straight years till 2007-08, the country's GDP grew by a relatively modest rate of 6.7% in 2008-09 on account of the international financial crisis.

India's manufacturing growth slowed down in March 2010, dropping from a 20-month-record in February 2010, as mounting cost pressures took a toll on expansion in output, a survey released on Thursday showed. The HSBC Markit Purchasing Managers' Index , based on a survey of 500 companies, fell to 57.8 in March 2010 from 58.5 in February 2010, which was the strongest since June 2008.

Global credit rating agency Standard & Poor's, last month, revised the outlook on India to stable from negative due to improved government finances.

The forecast for the southwest monsoon for 2010 is the next major trigger for the market. Good rains this year after last year's drought will boost farm output and rural incomes. But another monsoon failure will add to inflationary pressure which in turn may hamper the current strong economic rebound. The June-September monsoon season is important for India as about 60% of the country's farmlands are rain-fed and more than half of the workforce is employed in the agriculture sector.

Tokyo-based Research Institute for Global Change has predicted normal monsoon rains in India for the current year. Agriculture secretary P K Basu said in a media interview on Monday, 5 April 2010, that early signs indicate normal monsoon rains this year. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issues a monsoon forecast, usually in the second half of April after considering weather observations in different parts of the world and extrapolating statistical data.

A weakening El Nino is a positive sign for the monsoon, Ajit Tyagi, director general at the India Meteorological Department, said on 18 March 2010. The cyclical heating of the Pacific Ocean known as El Nino will continue to fade, US forecasters said last month. The weather event, which occurs every four to seven years, brings more rain to South America and less precipitation to Asia.
