Global signals

European stocks advanced on Wednesday on the back of strong banking results that boosted financial stocks and austerity measures announced by Spain. As of writing of this report, FTSE 100 (London) was trading marginal 0.05% higher while DAX (Germany) was trading over 1% up.

Asian indices except Nikkei (Japan) and Kospi (Korea) closed higher. SGX Nifty closed 20 points up.

US stock futures signal higher opening at Wall Street as Europe debt fears eased after Spain announced tough measures to cut its fiscal deficit. CISCO will be in focus as it is due to announce its quarterly earnings later in the day.

Indian indices

Indian indices rebounded from yesterday’s losses and edged higher in a rather volatile session. Despite a lower than expected IIP readings for March (13.5%), the indices closed higher as European markets rebounded from yesterday’s losses after Spain announced tough measures to cut its fiscal deficit and buying in health care and fast moving consumer good (FMCG) stocks in afternoon session.

Sensex that opened at par i.e. 17141 nudged higher in the opening trades. The index had a roller coaster ride for the better part of the day as it hovered between positive and negative territories. After disappointing IIP numbers for March and continuous selling in telecom stocks, on talks of the telecom regulator planning to propose a one-time fee for excess spectrum that will hit Bharti Airtel, BSNL, Vodafone Essar and Idea Cellular, the market slipped to touch the day’s low of 17028. However, buying in health care and FMCG scrips and positive opening in Europe helped Sensex to rebound and touch the day’s high of 17252. At closing bell, Sensex was pitted at 17196, 54 point higher while Nifty was 21 points higher at 5157.

Market sentiment

Market breadth, a metric for broader markets, closed negative. Of the 2,957 stocks traded on BSE, 1,640 stocks closed lower and 1,205 stocks finished higher. Hundred and two stocks were unchanged.

No respite from global jitters


Certainty is the mother of quiet and repose, and uncertainty the cause of variance and contentions. - Edward Coke.

Uncertainty continues to haunt global markets despite multi-billion-euro bailout for the troubled euro-zone nations. What’s worse, volatility has shot up as risk aversion remains elevated. Gold and the Dollar are attracting safe haven buying while risky assets like stocks and commodities are under pressure. Aside from the European debt crisis, markets are also worried about possible overheating in China. In short, things are not looking bright as of now and the prospects for global equities may take a while to revive.

Today we expect a slightly positive start but early gains may not sustain and the key indices will remain sluggish within a tight range. The NSE Nifty will continue to meet resistance at 5200 and beyond that, at 5300. On the way down, support is placed at around 5115. A bigger selloff could even take the Nifty below 5000. Telecom stocks may fall further on TRAI recommendations and aggressive 3G bids. March IIP data will be out today and is likely to show ~15% growth. Monthly inflation will be released on May 14.

We could see a short-term trading range as investors adjust to a period of increased volatility.

Stocks lost steam in the last hour of trade as enthusiasm waned over the EU's nearly $1 trillion rescue plan to back debt-strapped countries. However, the worries of the last few weeks pushed investors into safe-haven areas such as the US dollar and gold.

US stocks rallied on Monday, joining stocks around the globe, after European leaders approved an almost $1 trillion rescue package aimed at containing the growing debt crisis and stabilizing the euro. The Dow gained 405 points, its biggest gain since March 23, 2009.

But the euphoria ran out of gas amid questions about whether the bailout package will work if Greece and other debt-plagued nations don't make other efforts to cut their growing deficits. Markets around the world slipped after Monday's big gains.

The bailout agreement offered reassurances that the common European currency would survive and the 16 nations that use the euro would be able to get loans. But the nations including Greece will also have to slash spending, possibly slowing Europe's recovery.

Greece requested $18.4 billion in funds from the European Union (EU) and is due to receive $7 billion from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Wednesday. In total, the nation is requesting access to around $25 billion of the over $140 billion the EU and IMF have pledged in support.

The funds mean Greece will be able to meet the May 19 deadline to pay back roughly $11 billion in debt.

The CBOE Volatility index, or the VIX, slipped 2% in choppy trading, reflecting the mixed market. On Monday, the VIX slipped around 30%, reflecting a lessening of worries following last week's selloff.

During last week's sell off, culminating in the one-two punch of Thursday's "flash crash" and Friday's follow-up, the VIX rallied to 13-month highs as investors grew more panicky.

The dollar was barely changed versus the euro. On Monday, the euro bounced versus the dollar after hitting 14-month lows against the US currency during last week's big stock selloff. The dollar was barely changed versus the yen.

US light crude oil for June delivery settled down 43 cents to $76.37 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Treasury prices fell, pushing the yield on the 10-year note to 3.56% from 3.54% late on Monday.

The Commerce Department reported that wholesale inventories rose 0.4% in March, after climbing 0.6% in February. Economists thought inventories would increase by 0.5%.

The House Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets was discussing last Thursday's stock market roller-coaster ride, in which a 350-point loss on the Dow became a nearly 1,000-point loss in under 10 minutes. The intraday selloff was the biggest on a point basis in market history.

Executives from the nation's largest stock exchanges and the chairwoman of the SEC were expected to tell Congress that the ultimate cause of the crash remains a mystery.

SEC chairwoman Mary Schapiro said regulators need more time to figure out what exactly happened. She said they had ruled out computer hacking, a terrorist attack or any malicious intent having driven the selling.

In addition, regulators and exchanges have reportedly firmed up plans to institute "circuit breakers" on individual stocks in an attempt to prevent a repeat of last week's incident.

After the close of trade, Walt Disney reported quarterly earnings and revenues that topped expectations.

European shares erased some of Monday's outsized gains as banks and miners came under pressure amid worries about prospects for economic growth from Europe to China. The Stoxx Europe 600 index slipped 0.4% to 253.18, though earlier in the session it lost as much as 2%.

On Monday the index soared 7.2% in a relief rally sparked by news of a EU-IMF €750 billion loan program as well as by the European Central Bank's move to buy government bonds. Bank shares enjoyed big gains in Monday's rally.

The UK's FTSE 100 index was down 1% to 5,334.21, the French CAC-40 index shed 0.7% at 3,693.20. The German DAX index, however, rose 0.3% to 6,037.71, helped by a good performance from auto makers and stronger-than-expected results at Deutsche Post.

Among the smaller benchmarks, the Greek ASE Composite index fell 2.5% to 1,735.29, the Portugal PSI 20 index lost 2.2% to 7,174.10 and the Spanish Ibex 35 dropped 3.4% to 9,995.40.

Equity markets in India ended in the red on Tuesday, as doubts emerged over the unprecedented debt relief for the troubled euro-zone nations. Also, strong set of economic data in China amplified concerns of further monetary tightening in the Middle Kingdom.

In the process, "the 500-plus-point rally of Monday seemed to lose some of the steam. Market players preferred to book some profits at higher levels. Realty, Metal and Pharma stocks were among the major laggards. Even the second rung stocks were under pressure", says Amar Ambani, Vice President Research IIFL.

Finally, BSE Sensex fell 189 points to end at 17,141 and NSE Nifty lost 57 points to close at 5,136. Among the 30 components of Sensex, 27 ended in the negative terrain and only HDFC Bank, M&M and Hero Honda ended in the green.

Pre-market report

Global signals

The European shares slipped on Tuesday, led lower by banks, over doubts the massive rescue plan which boosted stocks in the previous session was a long-term solution and whether Greece can deliver budget deficit cuts.

The Dow and the S&P 500 fell in a volatile session on Tuesday as fears that a $1 trillion bailout for Europe won't solve the region's deep-seated problems blunted an improving U.S. economic picture.

In today's trade, the Asian markets were trading in a mixed note. At the time of writing this report, SGX Nifty was trading 13.5 points higher.

Indian markets

As global markets moved from euphoria over the $1 trillion European Union rescue package, to concern about the problems that still remain in Europe. The concerns about whether European governments are prepared to implement harsh austerity measures, and whether the package is merely a short-term fix, pushed US and European stocks lower after they posted their biggest one-day gain in a year on Monday.

The Asian were trading in a mixed note after an overnight fall on Wall Street as sentiment turned upbeat on easing worries about the eurozone's debt crisis. Taking the lead from the mixed Asian cues and worries across the globe, the Indian markets are set for a cautious start with a flat to positive note.

With the index of industrial production (IIP) numbers to be out today and is expected to be robust, the market participants will be closely eying the announcement of this data and the market is expected to remain volatile.
Monthly inflation figures will be announced later in the week. The monsoon will be a key variable over the next few weeks and even months, which will give the direction to the markets.

The earnings of Bajaj Auto, Bajaj Holdings, Thermax and Mangalore Refinery & Petrochemicals are later to be announced today — the stocks will be closely eyed by the investors.

Highest ever closing for gold at Comex


Prices shoot up as traders mull over euro zone debt solution

Precious metals ended substantially higher on Tuesday, 11 May at Comex. Long-term implications of the European Union's rescue package and its impact on the currencies, specially on the euro, bothered investors and lured investors into safe-haven assets such as gold.

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 Tuesday, gold for June delivery ended at $1,220.3 an ounce, higher by $19.5 (1.6%) an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It was the highest ever closing for gold at Comex. It rose to a high of $1,225.3 during intra day trading. Gold for June delivery had settled above $1,200 in early December, only to pull back to $1,172 area and dip as much as the $1,050 vicinity in early February. On 3 December 2009, gold had touched an all time intra day high of $1,226.4.

Last week, gold ended higher by 2.5%. For the month of April, gold ended higher by 6%. For the first quarter of this year, gold rose by 1.7%, its sixth quarterly rise. On a year to date basis, gold is higher by 11%.

On Tuesday, July Comex silver futures ended higher by 74 cents (4.2%) at $19.29 an ounce. Earlier, prices reached a high of $19.365. Last week, silver ended lower by 0.9%.

A decision by the European Union and International Monetary Fund leaders to pledge financial support to the eurozone brought about a wave of buying and short covering that caused the stock markets across globe to surge in its best single-session percentage gain in more than a year yesterday. As per plan, countries in the eurozone that face financial uncertainty will be eligible to receive some 500 billion euros from the EU and another 250 billion euros from the IMF. In addition to those measures, the European Central Bank will buy eurozone bonds from the secondary market and the Federal Reserve has reactivated swap lines with foreign institutions. At least for the time being, those efforts have eased contagion concerns that have surrounded Greece for weeks.

But traders mulled over the fact today that in the long term how much financial aid will be pledged for eurozone countries that face tenuous fiscal conditions and also the issue of how those funds will be allocated efficiently and whether recipients can remedy their underlying problems. The long term implication of this on the euro also bothered investors.

In the currency market today, the euro dropped 0.9% against the dollar. The euro has slipped 11% against the dollar this year.

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 June delivery closed higher by Rs 299 (1.7%) at Rs 17,897 per ten grams. Prices rose to a high of Rs 18,040 per 10 grams and fell to a low of Rs 17,650 per 10 grams during the day's trading.

At the MCX, silver prices for July delivery closed Rs 1,032 (3.6%) higher at Rs 29,498/Kg. Prices opened at Rs 28,424/kg and rose to a high of Rs 29,595/Kg during the day's trading.

Crude sheds gains


Prices drop on demand concerns

Crude oil pared early gains and ended lower at Nymex on Tuesday, 11 May 2010. Long-term implications of the European Union's rescue package and its impact on the currencies, specially on the euro, bothered investors and raised question about global demand for oil in coming months. Agencies increasing their forecast for global oil demand perhaps restricted crude's losses.

On Tuesday, crude-oil futures for light sweet crude for June delivery closed at $76.37/barrel (lower by $0.43 or 0.6%). Prices hit a high of $77 during intra day trading. For the month of April, crude rose 2.8%. For the first quarter of this year, crude rose by 5.5%. Year to date, crude is higher by 1.7%.

However, oil has also gained nearly 144% from a December 2008 nadir. That day prices settled at $33.87 a barrel following an intraday low of $32.40.

A decision by the European Union and International Monetary Fund leaders to pledge financial support to the eurozone brought about a wave of buying and short covering that caused the stock markets across globe to surge in its best single-session percentage gain in more than a year yesterday. As per plan, countries in the eurozone that face financial uncertainty will be eligible to receive some 500 billion euros from the EU and another 250 billion euros from the IMF. In addition to those measures, the European Central Bank will buy eurozone bonds from the secondary market and the Federal Reserve has reactivated swap lines with foreign institutions. At least for the time being, those efforts have eased contagion concerns that have surrounded Greece for weeks.

But traders mulled over the fact today that in the long term how much financial aid will be pledged for eurozone countries that face tenuous fiscal conditions and also the issue of how those funds will be allocated efficiently and whether recipients can remedy their underlying problems. The long term implication of this on the euro also bothered investors.

In the currency market today, the euro dropped 0.9% against the dollar. The dollar index, which measures the strength of the dollar against a basket of six currencies, rose by 0.4% today. The euro has slipped 11% against the dollar this year.

At the MCX, crude oil for May delivery closed higher by Rs 12 (0.34%) at Rs 3,460/barrel. Natural gas for May delivery closed at Rs 187.4, lower by Rs 1.8 (0.95%).

The Indian Meteorological department (IMD) expects normal rainfall in the June-September monsoon season this year. Rainfall is likely to be 98% of the long-term average, the IMD said on 23 April 2010. Good monsoon rains would help raise farm output, boost rural incomes and lower food inflation. The south west monsoon 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. The quantum of rainfall in the crucial sowing month of July and distribution of rainfall during the monsoon season holds key.

The Reserve Bank of India expects India's economy to expand 8% in the year ending March 2011 (FY 2011) with an upward bias, assuming a normal monsoon this year and sustenance of good performance of the industrial and services sectors on the back of rising domestic and external demand. The RBI at its annual policy review on 20 April 2010 said it will continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions, particularly the price situation closely and take further action as warranted.

In its half-yearly World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has pegged India's GDP growth at 8.75% in calendar 2010 and 8.5% in calendar 2011. According to the IMF, domestic demand in India will strengthen as the labour market improves, and investment is expected to be boosted by strong corporate profitability, rising business confidence and favourable financing conditions.
