Post Session Commentary - Nov 25 2008
The domestic market ended the day in red terrain after paring early gains due to the profit booking across the selective counters. Weak European markets weighted on the sentiments on concerns about recession in major global economies. The market today opened higher on the back of positive cues from the markets all over the world. The US government is taking $20 billion stake in the Citi group, along with a huge back up of $ 306 billion of Citi group assets. Further the US president Barrac Obama is planning to come out with another bail out package of $ 700 billion so as to support the US economy and also create 2.5 million new jobs in another 2 years of time. Further benchmark indices continued to trade in positive but pared their early increase as fear continues to hinder the investor’s sentiment. Finally market trimmed all gains and dropped sharply lower due to weak European indices and US futures. NSE Nifty ended below 2,700 mark and BSE Sensex below 8,700 level. From the sectoral front, Oil & Gas, Reality, Capital Goods, Bank, Teck and Metal stocks contributed to most of the selling pressure. Midcap and Small cap stocks also tracked the same trend.

After rallying for the past couple of sessions the 30-stock Sensex of the BSE lost 208 points on sustained selling in heavyweights, oil, capital goods and realty stocks. The market started the day on a positive note at 9,161 and touched the day's high of 9,183, but remained range-bound as trading progressed.

Market retreats in choppy trade
In a complete reversal of trend, the market lost ground on concerns about sharply deteriorating major global economies. High volatility in some Asian markets spilled over to Indian bourses. The BSE 30-share Sensex lost 207.59 points or 2.33%, shedding 487.27 points from the day's high.
The market was volatile with volatility in some Asian markets causing volatility here. After an initial surge on the back rally in global stocks triggered by US government's rescue of Citigroup, the market came sharply off the higher level on concerns about India's fiscal deficit, on slightly lower US index futures and easing of Asian stocks from higher level. The market bounced back later as Asian shares firmed up again after they had pared gains from an initial surge, as the US rescue of Citigroup bolstered badly needed confidence in the broader banking sector.
Later Hong Kong's Hang Seng pared gains and Chinese stocks slipped into the red after the World Bank said China's growth could well slow to its weakest pace in almost two decades next year. China's Shanghai Composite slipped 0.44%. Hang Seng was up 3%. Key benchmark indices in Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan were up by between 1.36% and 5.22%. The BSE Sensex swung 533.40 points in the day between the day's high and low.
Data continues to confirm the weakness of the global economy. South Korea on Tuesday, 25 November 2008, said consumer confidence slumped to a four-month low in November 2008, while in Germany, corporate sentiment plunged to its lowest level in nearly 16 years this month.
In Europe, Britain's top share FTSE 100 rose 1% by midday on Tuesday, 25 November 2007, with gains in embattled financials outweighing a slide in resources as the world's top miner, BHP Billiton dropped its hostile bid for Rio Tinto.
But trading in US index futures indicated the Dow could fall 43 points at the opening bell.
Closer home, Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Monday, 24 November 2008, said India is likely to miss the revenue and fiscal deficit targets in the current financial year as the government wants to spend additional money to boost the aggregate demand in the economy which has shown signs of slowing down. Thus, he said, the Centre would have to go for additional borrowings this year to meet higher expenditure. Higher government borrowing will restrict a further fall in interest rates.
The RBI has aggressively cut rates over the past two months to support growth and cushion the economy against the spreading global turmoil. The repo rate, the main short-term lending rate has been cut by 150 basis points to 7.5% since October 2008 and the cash reserve ratio, the proportion of deposits that banks have to keep with the central bank, has been reduced by 350 basis points to 5.5%.
The BSE 30-share Sensex lost 207.59 points or 2.33%, to 8,695.53. At the day's low of 8,649.40, the Sensex lost 253.72. The Sensex opened 267.16 points higher at 9,170.28. At the day's high of 9,182.80, the Sensex gained 279.68 points in early trade.
The S&P CNX Nifty fell 54.25 points or 2% to 2654. Nifty November 2008 futures were at 2643.25, at a discount of 10.75 points as compared to the spot closing.
Turnover in NSE's futures & options (F&O) segment was Rs 44,612.44 crore, which was lower than Rs 46,218.94 crore on Monday, 24 November 2008.
The barometer index BSE Sensex is down 11,591.46 points or 57.13% in the calendar year 2008 so far from its close of 20,286.99 on 31 December 2007. It is 12,511.24 points or 58.99% below its all-time high of 21,206.77 struck on 10 January 2008.
The BSE Mid-Cap index slipped 1.02% to 2,872.59 and the BSE Small-Cap index was down 0.91% at 3,333.42. Both these indices outperformed the Sensex.
Volatility may rise in the coming days ahead of the derivatives expiry for November 2008 series on Thursday, 27 November 2008. As per reports, rollover of Nifty positions from November 2008 to December 2008 series stood at 30%, as on Monday, 24 November 2008.
The market breadth, indicating the overall health of the market, was negative after strong star as small and mid-cap shares succumbed to selling pressure. On BSE, 1449 shares declined as compared with 1006 that advanced. 85 shares remained unchanged.
The total turnover on the BSE amounted to Rs 3159 crore as compared to Rs 3,206.82 crore on Monday, 24 November 2008.

The stock retreated sharply from day's high of Rs 1184.90 as concerns a global slowdown would hit demand for petrochemicals offset reports of fall in rig rentals. It was the top loser from the Sensex pack.
India's largest oil exploration firm Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) was up marginally by 0.15% to Rs 680 after it struck oil at an oil block in Andhra Pradesh.

US crude oil fell 3% to $52.88 a barrel today, 25 November 2008 after rising more than 9% on Monday, 24 November 2008.

India's largest private sector bank by net profit ICICI Bank fell 0.78% to Rs 320.05 after hitting a high of Rs 342.

India's top mortgage lender by net profit Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC) slipped 1.50% to Rs 1353 despite reports several investors, including sovereign wealth funds, have expressed interest in buying Citigroup's stake. Citigroup is the single-largest shareholder in HDFC with a 11.74% stake.
India's top pharma company by sales Ranbaxy Laboratories by sales fell 5.83% to Rs 201.20 on reports the company's subsidiary Ranbaxy Fine Chemical's (RFCL) plans to acquire the US-based speciality chemicals maker Mallinckrodt Baker is facing delays because of valuation problems.

Crisis never sleeps…but bank on some gains
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies- Thomas Jefferson.
The bulls banked on the government and for a change they can deposit their worries somewhere. The US markets welcomed the current regime's rescue effort to rid banking giant Citigroup of its ills and avert a major worldwide catastrophe. For a second successive session, US stocks rallied, as president-in-waiting Barack Obama officially announced his economic team. The twin bit of good news had a soothing effect across global equity markets, with European stocks joining the bull party.
Meanwhile, Finance minister P Chidambaram has asked the country to perish the thought of recession and cherish hopes of a rebound by the middle of next year.After Monday's zig-zag action amid low volume and turnover, the market is ripe for a bounce, at least early on in the morning trades. As far as India is concerned, what is badly needed is a reversal in FII outflows and further improvement in macro-economic fundamentals. Talking of economics, weekly inflation data is due on Thursday and Q2 GDP figures on Friday. Till then, we expect the market to be volatile, with a slightly positive bias. With US markets closed on Thursday expect local operators to get active too.
Emerging markets too notched up pretty decent gains, with the Bovespa in Brazil surging over 9% and Russian stocks rising more than 7%. The global rally in equities also seemed to rub off on commodities, with crude oil climbing 9% and gold rallying hitting a five-week high. It remains to be seen though, whether the euphoria can be converted into a sustained year-end rally. For that to happen, we need an end to the almost daily dose of negative news from across the globe.
FIIs were net sellers of Rs5.6bn (provisional) in the cash segment on Monday while the local institutions pumped in Rs2.25bn. In the F&O segment, foreign funds were net sellers at Rs3.07bn. On Friday, FIIs were net sellers at Rs5.14bn in the cash segment. Mutual Funds net bought Indian shares worth Rs244mn.
Siemens, Balarampur Chini and Fedders Lloyd will announce their quarterly results today.
US stocks rallied for a second successive session on Monday, spurred by the announcement of a massive bailout plan for Citigroup and the unveiling of the crack economic team by president-elect Barack Obama.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 397 points, or 4.9%, after having been up 552 points earlier in the afternoon. It ended at 8,443.39. The Standard & Poor's 500 index jumped 52 points or 6.4% to shut shop at 851.81 and the Nasdaq Composite index shot up 87 points or 6.3% to close at 1,472.02.
The US market had also rallied on Friday. The two-session gain of 891.10 points was the biggest two-session gain ever, according to Dow Jones. The percentage gain of 11.8% was the biggest two-session percentage gain since Oct. 1987.
The S&P 500 also saw its biggest two-session percentage gain since Oct. 1987, rising 13.2%. Its point gain was not significant statistically.
Obama held a press conference in the afternoon in which he formally nominated his economic team.
Naming New York Fed president Tim Geithner for Treasury Secretary and Harvard economist Lawrence Summers to run the National Economic Council, he urged his team to quickly develop recommendations for a recovery plan for "Wall Street and Main Street."
Over the weekend, Obama provided an outline of his recovery plan, including the creation of 2.5 million jobs over the next two years.
The financials led the bounce on the government's backstop for Citi. The $326bn plan to save the banking titan followed intense weekend negotiations that had the government backing as much as $306bn of the bank's troubled assets and taking charge of executive bonuses.
Citi shares surged 57.8% after losing more than 60% of its market capitalization last week.
Financials, telecom and consumer-discretionary shares fronted gains among all 10 of the S&P's industry groups.
Market breadth was positive. Volume on the New York Stock Exchange topped 2 billion, with advancers overtaking decliners roughly 9 to 1. On the Nasdaq, 1.1 billion shares traded, and advancers beat decliners roughly 3 to 1.
The US housing market continued to weaken, with sales of existing homes declining more than expected in October.

Economists thought sales would decline to a 5.05 million unit rate.
US light crude oil for January delivery rose $4.57 to settle at $54.50 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The dollar fell versus the euro and gained against the yen. COMEX gold for January delivery rallied $27.80 to settle at $819.90 an ounce.
Gasoline prices continued to slump to 3-1/2 year lows, with gas down 2.1 cents to a national average of $1.908 a gallon. Gasoline prices have been dropping for over two months. In that time, prices have lost $1.95 a gallon, or over 50%.
Treasury prices plunged, raising the yield on the benchmark 10-year note to 3.34% from 3.19% on Friday. Last week, the 2-year, 10-year and 30-year government bonds all hit the lowest levels since the Federal Reserve started keeping records in 1962.
The yield on the 3-month Treasury bill slipped to 0.01% from 0.02% on Friday, not far from 68-year lows of zero. The 3-month - seen as the safest place to put money in the short term - last hit these levels in September as investor panic peaked.
The low yield means nervous investors would rather preserve their money despite no interest rather than risk the stock market.
Lending rates rose a bit. The 3-month Libor rate rose to 2.17% from 2.16% on Friday, while overnight Libor rose to 0.8% from 0.7% Friday. Libor is a key bank lending rate.

Darling said that he wanted the UK to be well-positioned to benefit from the return to growth of the world economy. He insisted however that the global financial crisis had originated in the US, and that this had exacerbated an economic slowdown that was already underway.
European shares rallied to one of their best one-day performance ever. The pan-European Dow Jones Stoxx 600 index rallied 8.4% to 197.51, after hitting a fresh five-year low on Friday. It was the second-best single-session performance on record.

The official production quota is currently 28.8 million barrels, and it decided to cut by 1.5 million in November. After that, Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries had pledged to cut production even deeper if prices are not in the $70-$90 range in its 1st December meeting.
For the third quarter of the year crude prices ended lower by 28%. This was the biggest quarterly drop since 1991. Before that, crude prices had gained 38% in the second quarter of this year. It was the biggest quarterly increase in nine years. For the month of September, prices registered drop of 13%.
Against this background, January reformulated gasoline rose 7.3% to $1.1425 a gallon, and January heating oil gained 5% to $1.7844 a gallon.
Natural gas for December delivery added 2.6% to $6.48 per million British thermal units.
At the MCX, crude oil for November delivery closed at Rs 2,735/barrel, higher by Rs 156 (5.9%) against previous day's close. Natural gas for November delivery closed at Rs 336.6/mmbtu, higher by Rs 8.1/mmbtu (2.4%).
