Post Market Commentary - Feb 7 2008
The market tumbled and closed on a deep red note. Heavy selling pressures across all the sectoral indices was witnessed after the mid session on the back of the reports by the government, which cited that the economy is likely to grow at a reasonable rate of 8.7% during the current fiscal as against 9.6% last year. The estimation of growth was slightly higher than then RBI''s projection of 8.5%, which led o the negative sentiments in the market. The cues from the global markets are not in favor, which also add to the sentiments. A lot of volatility was witnessed during the trading session but finally market takes a huge turn to close with heavy losses. The Small Caps and Mid Caps also did not survive from the bloodbath as they also faced heavy selling pressures across the counters. The BSE Sensex closed lower by 612.56 points at 17,526.93 while NSE Nifty fell by 189.3 points to close at 5,133.25.

Sensex plummets 613 points
The market’s southbound journey continued for the second session as slump in global indices and concerns of possible recession in the USA made the investors nervous, triggering a major sell-off. The Sensex resumed on a positive note at 18,199, up 60 points and hovered above its last close of 18,139 till the mid-morning trades. However, a strong bout of selling by afternoon saw the Sensex accumulate losses of 555 points to touch the day's low of 17,584. The Sensex dropped 3.38% and was down 613 points for the day at 17527. The Nifty shed 3.56% and was down 189 points at 5133.

The BSE second-rung benchmark indices the BSE mid-cap index and the BSE small-cap index tanked by over 2% each.

Sensex sheds 613 points on setback in pivotals
The market plunged for a second day in a row today weighed down by weak sentiment in global markets. A strong GDP growth forecast for the current fiscal and a surge in domestic liquidity, failed to provide any respite for the markets.
The 30-share BSE Sensex slumped 612.56 points or 3.38% at 17,526.93. Sensex shed 647.21 points at the day's low of 17,492.28, hit in late trade. Sensex touched a high of 18,198.68 in the initial trade. At day's high it rose 59.19 points.
The broader CNX S&P Nifty was down 189.3 points or 3.59% at 5,133.25.
The current setback on the bourses has materialized despite a boost in liquidity in the secondary markets as investors have started getting refund of excess application money in the heavily subscribed Rs 11000-crore Reliance Power IPO. It, however, remains to be seen how much money from Reliance Power IPO refunds actually comes to the secondary market in the light of immense volatility witnessed on the bourses last month.
Sensex fell below the psychological 18,000 level. Selling was conspicuous in IT, oil & gas, metal, FMCG and realty stocks. All the sectoral indices on BSE were in red. Index heavyweights Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank and Larsen & Toubro declined. Reliance Communications fell sharply in late trade.
The market breadth was negative in contrast to a strong breadth in early trade. 29 out of 30 stocks from the Sensex pack were in red.
Cues from European markets which opened after Indian markets were negative. Most of the Asian markets were closed today.
India's economy is expected to expand at 8.7% in fiscal 2007/08, slower than 9.6% growth in 2006/07, which was its strongest pace in 18 years, government's central statistics office (CSO) today said. CSO has pegged manufacturing output growth at an annual 9.4% this fiscal compared with 12% growth in the previous year.
Farm output growth is estimated at 2.6% for the full year 2007/08 compared with 3.8% growth in 2006/07. Services sector growth is estimated at 10.7% for the year against 11.1% growth in 2006/07.
European Central Bank (ECB) holds a policy meeting later today, 7 February 2008. The ECB is widely expected to hold interest rates at 4%, and investor focus is likely to be on whether the ECB would keep its vigilance on inflation risks even as signs show that economic growth in the region may be slowing.
BSE clocked a turnover of Rs 6541 crore compared to Wednesday (6 February 2008)'s Rs 6308 crore.
Nifty February 2008 futures were at 5,087.35, at a discount of 45.9 points as compared to spot closing of 5,133.25.

EMAAR MGF - Strategy
Looks like EMAAR hasn't learnt its lessons and has lowered the price band by Rs 10
If the issue gets subscribed by some kind of manipulation, unless the market conditions improve, there is no way that the Issue will get make any listing gains for the retail investor. Do keep in mind that you will get full allotment because retail interest is so low and HNI interest is almost nil.
EMAAR MGF placed 5% of its equity to Deutsche Bank - they should probably withdraw from the issue and let them only buy the shares.
We recommend that you withdraw from the issue (if you really made a mistake of applying!).
Forward this link to all the people who have applied or plan to apply!

Market may open lower on weak global cues
After witnessing a sharp slump of over 500 points in yesterday's trades, the market is likely to remain shaky as global markets fell further. Although FII have been providing cushion by remaining net buyers, the sentiment is likely to remain bearish. Among the key domestic indices, the Nifty may get support at 4800 and a break below this level could see the index slip further to 4550. The Sensex has a likely support at 16000 and may test higher levels at 18700.
US indices closed lower on Wednesday, after the discouraging remarks by a Fed official and worrisome news from Macy's. With the Dow Jones tumbling by 65 points to close at 12200. The Nasdaq declined 31 points on weak tech stocks and closed at 2279.
All the Indian ADRs ended with sharp declines following a slump in the domestic market. VSNL slipped over 3% while Tata Motors and VSNL , Infosys, Satyam, Wipro, Rediff and Patni Computers dropped 1-2% each. However, HDFC Bank gained marginally.
Crude oil prices fell marginally, with the Nymex light crude oil for March series fell by $1.27 to close at $87.14 a barrel. In the commodity segment, the Comex gold for April delivery jumped $14.70 to settle at $905 an ounce.

Market may extend losses
The market may edge lower as US stock indexes dropped for a third straight session on Wednesday, 6 February 2008, after US Federal Reserve officials cast doubt on the outlook for more interest rate cuts, driving the Nasdaq into bear market territory. Most of the Asian markets are closed today and tomorrow for the Lunar New Year holiday.
Sensex had plunged 523.67 points or 2.81% at 18,139.49 on Wednesday as Asian markets tumbled after another recessionary piece of US economic data sent Wall Street shares down nearly 3% on Tuesday, 5 February 2008. Wednesday’s sharp fall on the bourses was despite a boost in liquidity in the secondary markets as investors have started getting refund of excess application money in Reliance Power IPO. It, however, remains to be seen how much money from Reliance Power IPO refunds actually comes to the secondary market in the light of immense volatility witnessed on the bourses last month.
Reliance Power, which raised a record $3 billion in its initial share sale in January 2008, said on Friday, 1 February 2008, it had begun refunding excess application money to investors. The initial public offer had received bids for $190 billion.
It also remains to be seen if the strong domestic liquidity will offset selling by FIIs. FIIs sold shares worth a huge Rs 13035.70 crore last month amid ongoing credit crisis in the US and in the backdrop of US recession fears looming large.
As per provisional data, FIIs sold shares worth a net Rs 485.94 crore on Wednesday, 6 February 2008. Local funds bought shares worth a net Rs 357.32 crore on that day.
FIIs were net sellers to the tune of Rs 2,086 crore in the futures & options segment on Wednesday. According to data released by the NSE, FIIs were net sellers of index futures to the tune of Rs 1,728.59 crore and bought index options worth Rs 75.18 crore. They were net sellers of stock futures to the tune of Rs 428.65 crore and sold stock options worth Rs 3.50 crore.
In US on Wednesday, the Dow Jones industrial average lost 65.03 points, or 0.53%, at 12,200.10. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index lost 10.19 points, or 0.76%, at 1,326.45. The Nasdaq Composite Index shed 30.82 points, or 1.3%, at 2,278.75.
The Nasdaq's woes worsened after the bell, with network equipment maker Cisco Systems dropping more than 7% after the tech bellwether forecast disappointing third-quarter revenue growth, citing economic concerns. That news spurred an after-hours sell-off in other big technology companies, including Apple and Intel and drove stock index futures lower.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 average was down 0.19%. Markets in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan are closed today, 7 February 2008 and tomorrow, 8 February 2008, for the Lunar New Year holiday.
Even if the US goes into the recession, it may not impact India’s economic growth in a big way given that domestic demand is a key driver of the Indian economy. India’s economy is expected to post strong growth for a long period due to favourable demographics. Moreover a healthy investment cycle will continue to support India’s growth through a self-perpetuating cycle of income creation, savings and investment. The government will today unveil its forecast on GDP growth in the current fiscal year. The announcement is expected at about 11:00 IST.
Corporate earnings growth remains decent. Deutsche Bank expects 20% compounded annual growth rate in earnings of 30-Sensex firms during the period from FY 2007 (year ended 31 March 2007) to FY 2009 (year ending 31 March 2009).

Against all odds!
The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it.
The odds may seem to be against the bulls. Just when sentiment started to feel better, in came another jolt from Wall Street. We see a cautious start this morning given the lack of cues from Asian markets and a lower closing in the US market. After that, trading will turn more choppy and cues from European markets that will open in the afternoon may influence trade.
With mid-caps and small caps holding steady, don’t be surprised if select heavyweights are pushed higher to portray a feel good factor. We expect that to happen if not later in the day then at least tomorrow, irrespective of global cues this time. In short, we see some bull power coming in.
The ECB and Bank of England are scheduled to announce their decisions on interest rates. A softening stance from these central banks could perk up the sentiment. But all this may happen after our market closes.
With markets across the world sinking in line with the weak US trend, the local sentiment once again took a beating yesterday. A sharp selloff in key Asian markets unnerved investors, and shook their confidence yet again. Market breadth was negative and even the traded volume and turnover were higher from Tuesday. The 500-point fall in the Sensex yesterday is likely to serve as a grim reminder to investors, particularly the smaller ones, that the worst may not be over as yet.
The US economy is virtually in a recession or is very close to being in one. The Chinese economy is also slowing and the economic condition in Europe and Japan is nothing to write home about. There is a concerted effort underway by the governments and central banks in these countries to reverse the slowdown. This may improve prospects for the global economy somewhat, but a protracted and painful correction is imminent.
What kind of bearing this will have on India is anybody's guess though, the nature of our economic growth (which is more driven by domestic factors) means that we will not be hit that hard. Only time will prove whether this 'decoupling' theory is correct or not. But, as far as the market is concerned, the volatility and anxiety is here to stay.
FIIs were net sellers of Rs4.86bn (provisional) in the cash segment on Wednesday. At the same time, local institutions were net buyers of Rs3.57bn. In the F&O segment, they were net sellers of Rs20.86bn. On Tuesday, foreign funds poured in Rs5.77bn in the cash segment. FIIs have now pumped in US$1.34bn in the past three days after offloading more than US$4bn in the previous fortnight or so. Mutual Funds were net sellers of Rs2.97bn in the cash segment on Tuesday.
In Asian markets this morning, the Nikkei in Tokyo was down 104 points or 0.8% at 12,995 while the S&P/ASX 200 index in Sydney slipped 35 points or 0.6% at 5574 and the PSEi in Philippines was flat at 3222. The rest of the Asian markets are closed for the Lunar New Year holiday.
US stocks fell for a third consecutive day, led by energy shares and retailers, after oil prices dropped, retailer Macy's cut its earnings forecast and a Federal Reserve official signaled that higher inflation may prevent more rate reductions.
The S&P 500 Index erased a gain of as much as 1.2% after Macy's said it will eliminate 2,300 jobs, sending retail stocks to their steepest three-day drop in five years. Chevron fell to a nine-month low as oil declined by more than $1 a barrel. Memory chipmaker Micron Technology fell the most since October 2006 after an analyst said computer companies have stockpiles of unused parts.
The S&P 500 was down 10.19 points, or 0.8%, to 1,326.45. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 65 points, or 0.5%, to 12,200.1. The Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 31 points, or 1.3%, to 2,278.75, the lowest since October 2006, weighed down by a 5.7% drop in Apple.
Market breath was negative. More than two stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange.
Speaking before the Birmingham Rotary Club, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Charles Plosser said it is important to keep inflation in check, raising concern among some investors and experts that the Fed may not be as aggressive in cutting rates going forward.
"With inflation creeping up, we have to be particularly alert for rising inflation expectations. It is important that inflation expectations remain stable," said Plosser, a voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).
Major US indexes had rallied earlier in the session after the Labor Department said that worker productivity was stronger than expected in the fourth quarter. The news helped counter some of the recession fears that have plagued Wall Street since last year
After the closing bell, network equipment maker Cisco Systems reported earnings that met Wall Street expectations but warned of slower growth going forward.
Treasury prices rose, lifting the yield on the benchmark 10-year note to 3.6% from 3.58% late on Tuesday. In currency trading, the dollar gained versus the euro and slipped versus the yen.
US light crude oil for March delivery fell $1.27 to $87.14 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. COMEX gold for April delivery surged $14.80 to $900.70 an ounce.
Stocks in Europe advanced. The pan-European Dow Jones Stoxx 600 index rose 0.5% to 320.35, led by defensive issues like utilities. The UK's FTSE 100 closed up 0.1% at 5,875.40, while Germany's DAX 30 rose 1.2% to 6,847.51 and the French CAC-40 added 0.8% to 4,816.43.
The euro fell for a third day today against the dollar and the Japanese yen on speculation that the European Central Bank (ECB) President Jean-Claude Trichet will signal that borrowing costs may need to be cut to bolster growth.
Latin American stocks closed lower. In Brazil, the benchmark Bovespa stocks index closed 3.5% lower at 58,969. Markets in Brazil were shut on Monday and Tuesday on account of the Carnaval celebrations.

Markets likely to consolidate
Markets were unable to extend gains as bears made a come back after being on the sidelines for past three sessions. Markets opened with a 700 points negative gap mirroring losses in the equity markets across US and Asia. However, after a sharp dip key indices managed to recover gradually from its days low finally closing above the 18,100 mark.

However, after marking an all-time high of Rs 670 in early January, the stock was on a short-term corrective downtrend till it found support at Rs 400 levels. The long-term up trendline coincides with the significant support level at around Rs 400. In late Janu ary, the stock bounced off from Rs 400 level and reversed the short-term corrective downtrend recently. For past two weeks, the stock has been hovering around Rs 450 level. The daily momentum indicator has recovered from the oversold zone and is likely to enter the neutral region. Besides, the long-term uptrend is still in place. We are bullish on the stock in the short-term. We expect the stock to move up to our target level of Rs 522 in the short-term. Investors with short-term horizon can buy the stock with stop loss at Rs 400 levels.

EMAAR cuts price - makes lower end at 530
There seems to be no respite for primary markets as initial public offers (IPOs) continue to get a tepid response from investors.
The latest example is Emaar MGF’s mega IPO, which has not just been extended by five days, its price band has also been revised once again. The issue will now close on February 11, according to investment banking sources.
The lower end of the price band has been brought down to Rs 530 from Rs 540 a share. The shares will now be priced between Rs 530 and Rs 630 a share. The company had earlier on January 31 revised the price band to Rs 540-Rs 630 from Rs 610-Rs 690 a share.
Emaar MGF’s IPO had received 76.612 million bids, or 75 per cent of the issue of 102.57 million shares, by 7 pm. And the bids were mostly at the lower end of the price band, data from the National Stock Exchange (NSE) showed.
“The IPO market appears to be more like a vegetable market. First, try to bargain by lowering the price band and extending days. If investors are not interested, lower the price band further and yet again extend the closure by a few more days to woo them. I think it is high time investment bankers learn a lesson and try to arrive at realistic valuations. I don’t know what significant difference would Emaar’s decision to reduce the lower end of the price band by Rs 10 make,” said S P Tulsian, independent equity advisor.
The Wockhardt Hospitals IPO is also in trouble after the company revised the price band on January 30. Though the issue was technically open for subscription on January 31, no bids were received.
Consequently, the issue opened for subscription on February 1 and was set to close yesterday. But it was subscribed by 0.1 times. The date for the issue to close was extended by two days and it will now close tomorrow.
Data from NSE showed that the IPO has received 3.26 million bids, or 13 per cent of the issue of 25.08 million shares, by 7 pm. The SVEC Constructions IPO was subscribed 0.05 times at 7 pm.
The IRB Infrastructure IPO that closed yesterday was subscribed by about 4.3 times but the offer price has been fixed at Rs 185 a share, which is at the lower end of the price band. Even KNR Constructions has fixed the offer price at the lower end of the band — Rs 170 a share.
