IT, metal stocks lead decline on global slowdown fears




Growing fears of another recession in the US, the world's biggest economy, dragged the market lower last week. An unprecedented downgrade of the US credit rating by Standard & Poor's on Friday, 5 August 2011, led investors to reduce exposure to risky assets. The US Federal Reserve decided on Tuesday, 9 August 2011, to keep US interest rates ultra-low for two more years to avoid recession in the world's biggest economy.

Market to take cues from global equities



With Q1 June 2011 results over, Indian shares will take cues from global markets. A recent correction in commodity prices, including that of oil and metals augurs well for Indian manufacturing firms and also the government in reining in oil subsidy burden. Lower commodity prices may also help rein in high inflation.

Next week is a truncated trading week. The stock market remains closed on Monday, 15 August 2011, on account of Independence Day. Shares of State Bank of India, Aditya Birla Nuvo, Reliance Communications, Reliance Capital and Shipping Corporation of India will on Tuesday, 16 August 2011, react to their Q1 results which will be announced on Saturday, 13 August 2011.

Markets decline for 3rd straight week


Mounting fears over the health of global economy hampered investor sentiment this week. The Sensex falls 2.69% and the Nifty slips 2.65%.

Major headlines for the week

June IIP at 8.8% versus 5.6%

Food inflation at 9.9% versus 8.04%

Tata Motors Q1 consolidated net profit at Rs2,000 crore

L&T Q1 net profit up 12%

M&M net profit rises 8% in Q1

Sensex at 14-month closing low; Infosys hits 52-week low


Fears that higher interest rates will crimp corporate profit growth pulled the market lower for the second day in a row, with the barometer index BSE Sensex settling at 14-month closing low below the psychological 17,000 level. The market breadth, indicating the overall health of the market, was negative. The Sensex shed 219.77 points or 1.29%, off close to 410 points from the day's high and up close to 55 points from the day's low. Index heavyweight Reliance Industries (RIL) fell in choppy trade.

Investors investing in India have been worried that higher interest rates will crimp corporate profit growth. Two leading banks, State Bank of India (SBI) and ICICI Bank, on Thursday, 11 August 2011, raised lending rates. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) late last month raised its key lending rate by a steeper-than-expected 50 basis points to rein in high inflation. The RBI has raised interest rates 11 times since March 2010 to control inflation, which still reigns close to double-digit levels because of high food prices and intensifying demand pressures in non-food commodities.

We’re living in an up down world!



"Few cross the river of time and are able to reach non-being. Most of them run up and down only on this side of the river." - Horace.

Consider yourself lucky even if you have been on the sidelines of late. Few can stomach the gyrations like we had this week, with stocks swinging wildly. So, after Wednesday’s steep fall markets in the US and Europe rallied on Thursday. Positive news on weekly jobless claims and Cisco’s results helped lift sagging spirits on Wall Street. Recovery in banks aided the advance in Europe. Meanwhile, France, Italy, Spain and Belgium have banned short-selling.
