Nifty advances to 5,200…All eyes on RBI policy meet


After a gap up opening, Indian indices continued their rise aided by buying in Power, Capital Goods, Consumer Durables, Banks, and some rate-sensitive sectors such as Realty and Auto. Markets finished near the day’s high levels with the Sensex surging over 300 points and the Nifty crossing the psychological 5,200 mark. The broader 50-stock index also closed at the crucial level. The Nifty has now ended with gains for the second straight trading session and has rebounded by ~170 points after hitting a low of 5032 in previous week. The Mid-Cap and the Small-Cap stocks which were badly beaten down also witnessed some buying momentum. The BSE Small-Cap index closed up 1.3% while the BSE Mid-Cap index ended with gains of 1.5%.

Who will unlock potential?


Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential - Winston Churchill The Reserve Bank of India says the ball is in the Government’s court and wants the centre to provide the impetus and the stimulus to boost investment and revive growth. Calling for aggressive steps, the RBI in its monetary policy review stated that persistent inflation limits the scope for monetary policy to revive growth. We won’t speculate on what the RBI will do in a few hours but there is hardly any room for cheer unless the RBI governor springs a positive surprise for the market. Status quo is the expectation. Monday was a happy day as the Nifty and the Sensex had gained following a widespread rally across sectors including power, realty, capital goods, banks, consumer durables and auto. Outside the market some happiness of course came with the first Olympic medal of the London Games for India.

Sensex ends off day’s high…Broader market, PSBs fall


The Indian stock indices ended with smart gains after slipping late in Thursday's session due to F&O expiry. However, the main Indian stock indices came off their session highs in the afternoon trade due to choppiness in the European markets. Today’s gap-up opening and early rally was triggered by favourable comments from ECB president Mario Draghi, who on Thursday pledged support for the common euro currency amid growing worries about the European credit crisis and its impact on the global economy. Draghi's remarks have set off speculation about fresh monetary easing measures from the ECB, including another round of LTRO. A couple of positive economic data out of the US also helped lift the glum mood across world markets. The NSE Nifty, which had closed below the 200 DMA in the previous trading session, managed to end above the critical technical barrier. After a gap up opening, the Indian markets gained further ground before dropping below the 100-DMA level of 5,150.

Speculation on central bankers


"Speculation is only a word covering the making of money out of the manipulation of prices, instead of supplying goods and services" - Henry Ford It’s speculation time this week on what central bankers will do. The Reserve Bank of India will hold its monetary policy review meeting tomorrow. On Wednesday, the US Fed's open market committee will meet while on Thursday the European Central Bank's rate and monetary policy meeting will take place. High inflation, rising fiscal deficit and monsoon worries could well hold back the RBI from cutting rates. The rainfall from June 1 to July 25 was reportedly 22% below normal. Expectations are the monsoon will strengthen during the first week of August.

PM makes no difference to Economy


Nobody needs to teach Prime Minister Manmohan Singh the importance of numbers in matters related to the economy. He has been an economist for a major part of his life. Definitely, he also knows how important the numbers are in politics. It is an unhealthy combination of both that has put him in a Catch 22. A report in The Economic Times says the Congress may not have the required numbers to push through a diesel price increase in the monsoon session of Parliament.

Sensex ekes out slim gains…HUL surges, Wipro slips


After witnessing its sharpest decline in the past two months on Monday, the Indian equity markets were back into consolidation mode. The BSE Sensex and the NSE Nifty just about managed to eke out slim gains on the back of sustained strength in index heavyweight Hindustan Unilever, which hit a lifetime high in trade today. However, gains were limited amid lingering worries over the eurozone debt crisis and the Government's ability to push through pending reforms amid stiff opposition to various proposed measures. The Indian markets showed resilience despite weakness in the US and other global markets. Key indices ended with a positive bias despite rupee depreciating to its lowest against the US dollar this month. The euro and other global risk assets remained under pressure after Moody's downgraded Germany's sovereign outlook to negative.

Sensex sinks on global selloff...Nifty holds 200DMA


The F&O expiry week started off on a very negative note, with the NSE Nifty index closing almost near a day’s low. Today’s decline could be attributed to a sell-off across global equity markets. Markets opened gap down, tracking weakness in the Asian markets amid concern about Spain’s worsening fiscal health and fresh trouble for Greece. All-round selling in scrips across sectors dragged the BSE Sensex below the 17000 mark. However, the Nifty just about managed to end above 5100, which is also the 200DMA for the index. The Sensex ended at 16,877, down by 281 points, or 1.65% from the previous close. It had earlier touched a day’s low of 16,849 after opening at day's low of 17,047.

Sensex ends static…Broader market falls; VIX slips


The NSE Nifty has now closed in the red for the past five trading sessions. Also, this was the third consecutive occasion when the Nifty opened with a positive gap but closed lower after failing to capitalize on the early gains.

In addition, the enthusiasm over a possible rate cut has been dampened after the RBI Governor said that inflation remains beyond the central bank's comfort levels. Investors seem to be taking a breather of sorts after lifting the Nifty to 5300 recently on optimism about reforms under the stewardship of Dr. Manmohan Singh.
