Mixed Monday for Asia


Stocks end amid uncertain direction post disappointing non-farm data

Asian markets ended mixed today with the modestly higher closing in the US stocks on Friday despite weaker than expected jobs report for November not helping shape the sentiments either way. The Irish Department of Finance on Saturday confirmed that the 2011 budget deficit would fall to 12.2% of gross domestic product (GDP), before Budget Day adjustments, from 32% in 2010. This turned out to be a slightly positive news from the point of view of easing the Eurozone debt troubles to some extent. Meanwhile, on Friday, in a disappointing piece of data, the US unemployment rate edged up to 9.8% in November, and nonfarm payroll employment gained just 39000, as per the latest report from US Bureau of Labour Statistics. Temporary help services and health care continued to add jobs over the month, while employment fell in retail trade. Employment in most major industries changed little in November.

Market ends flat after hitting 3-week high; bank shares drop


The key benchmark indices ended almost unchanged, giving up initial strong gains as profit taking emerged after the Sensex hit 3-month high.

The BSE 30-share Sensex was up 14.38 points or 0.07%, off close to 235 points from the day's high and up close to 35 points from the day's low. The market breadth turned negative when compared with a strong breadth earlier in the day.

Don’t Hurry, Be Happy


An unhurried sense of time is in itself a form of wealth. - Bonnie Friedman.

The market is running nowhere as yet. Most Asian markets are up this morning; which means the Indian market will also see a higher start. Stay away from "risky" Small-Caps and Mid-Cap stocks and from sectors facing severe headwinds. Watch out for the latest IIP data to be released on Friday. The upswing may continue with 5900 acting as near term support. Overall, the trading range on the Nifty is expected to be 5800-6200. But don’t be in a hurry to make your purchases.

Market may edge higher on firm Asian stocks


The market may extend last week's strong gains on firm Asian stocks. Trading of S&P CNX Nifty futures on the Singapore stock exchange indicate a gain of 15 points at the opening bell. The market will heave a sigh of relief after the transporters' union -- the All India Motor Transport Congress (AIMTC) called off the proposed strike after the government assured it of some level of reduction in toll charges for trucks with three axles, among other issues. AIMTC had threatened to go on strike from 5 December 2010 if the toll charges were not reduced.
