Asian markets bleed as Greek wounds hurt
Stocks drop across the world after Greece's debt gets downgraded to junk and Portugal's ratings are slashed
Asian stocks stumbled today as the Greek tragedy continued to act as the Achilles heel for the global markets. There are serious worries on the finances of the other troubled nations in Eurozone now and the current recovery in the world economy is feared to slow down amid worsening conditions on the sovereign debt front. Concerns about Europe, which remains the largest market for Asian exports, increased after Standard & Poor's, the rating agency, downgraded Greece's debt to junk status yesterday and hit Portugal's rating with a two-notch cut.
Europe may have to turn to the dreadful option of on debt selling in case the worst fears regarding PIIGS come true. The European and American markets fell sharply overnight on the same concerns, with the Dow Jones industrial average dropping 1.9 % to 10,991.99, its worst loss in three months. Commodity prices and Euro declined sharply today, leading to a broad pressure on resources. In a bid to stem the panic in Greece, the country's security regulator has temporarily banned short selling on the Athens stock exchange until June 28. The market has lost around 25% of its value in the last five weeks.
The Japanese stocks plunged following these cues. Weak closing in European and US markets in the previous session and negative trading across other markets in Asian region also impacted market sentiment, with almost all the stocks ended in negative territory. Traders preferred to adopt a wait-and-watch approach ahead of national holiday tomorrow and FOMC meeting later in the day in the U.S. The benchmark Nikkei 225 Index plunged 287.87 points, or 2.6 %, to 10,925, while the broader Topix index of all First Section issues fell 19.99 points, or 2.0%, to 978.
On the economic front, a report released by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry revealed that retail sales in the country surged up 4.7% year-on-year in March, coming in at 12.286 trillion yen. That marked the third straight month of increase, and it beat forecasts for a 3.7 % annual increase following the 4.2 % expansion in February.
The Australian market ended in negative territory, reacting to the downgrading of sovereign credit ratings of Greece and Portugal. Weak closing on Wall Street in the previous session and an unexpected increase in consumer inflation for the quarter and lower commodity prices also weighed on market. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 Index declined 57.20 points, or 1.17 % to close at 4,823, while the All-Ordinaries Index ended flat at 4,854, representing a loss of 59.10 points, or 1.20 %.
A report released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed that consumer prices in the country rose at a stronger than expected pace during the first three months of the year, which may force the central bank to hike the cash rate again when its policy board meets next week. The data comes close on the heels of the release of the producer price inflation report, which also showed a bigger than expected increase in prices. According to the report, consumer price index gained 2.9% year-on-year in the March quarter. This follows a 2.1% increase in prices in the December quarter.
China's key stock index edged down 0.3 % to a fresh six-month closing low, although bank and property shares stabilized after sliding on Tuesday on concerns over lenders' fundraising plans and further steps to curb property speculation. The Shanghai Composite Index ended the day at 2,900.3 points, extending the index's 2.1 % drop the previous session on a media report of a possible share issue by China Construction Bank. Stocks in Hong Kong's dropped 1.2 %.
In other markets, South Korea's Kospi index fell 1.2% to 1,728.25 while New Zealand's NZX 50 ended down 0.3% and Philippine stocks lost 0.7%.
In Mumbai, the key benchmark extended losses for the second straight day as world stocks reeled from rating downgrades on Greece and Portugal. The BSE 30-share Sensex was provisionally down 285.27 points or 1.61%, off close to 240 points from the day's high and up close to 60 points from the day's low. Metal and realty stocks led the decline. All the sectoral indices on BSE were in the red. Index heavyweight Reliance Industries (RIL) slumped more than 4%, extending recent losses triggered by disappointment from Q4 result. India's largest mobile services provider by sales Bharti Airtel dropped in volatile trade as Q4 net profit fell.
Light sweet crude oil futures for June delivery have a range bound session today but the undertone was primarily bearish on an across the board sell off in the world stocks. The counter edged up above $82 per barrel but turned lower soon and was last seen quoting at $82.27 a barrel in electronic trading, down $0.23 per barrel from previous close at $82.44 a barrel in New York on Tuesday.

SJVNL IPO Analysis
SJVNL (Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam) is a hydroelectric power generation company originally established as a joint venture between the government of India and the Himachal Pradesh government to develop and operate the Nathpa Jhakri Power Station (NJHPS). NJHPS is the largest operational hydroelectric power generation facility in India by installed capacity (based on information published by the Central Electricity Authority), with an aggregate generation capacity of 1,500 MW. It is located on the Sutlej River in Himachal Pradesh.
In October 2003, the first 250-MW hydroelectric power generation unit was commissioned at the NJHPS. By May 2004, all six power-generating units at the NJHPS had been commissioned and the NJHPS was fully operational. NJHPS generated 6,014 million units (MU)), 6,449 MU and 6,609 MU of power (gross) in the years ended March 2007 (FY 2007), FY 2008 and FY 2009. The aggregate power generation (gross) by NJHPS amounted to approximately 6,332 MU in the nine months ended December 2009,
SJVNL is required to supply 12% of its annual generation from the NJHPS free of cost to Himachal Pradesh. Out of the remaining 88% of power generated by the NJHPS ( to be reduced by 1% to 87% in the event the company is required to supply power to the local area development fund), 25% is supplied to Himachal Pradesh and the remainder to various states located in the northern region of India pursuant to the 10 long-term power purchase agreements. Of these, two have expired and are in the process of being renewed.
In addition to NJHPS, SJVNL has one project under construction and seven other projects under various stages of implementation. The company is constructing the Rampur project, a 412-MW hydroelectric power generation facility located downstream from the NJHPS. The Rampur project is to be completed and commissioned in 2013. It has also been awarded the rights to develop and operate two hydroelectric projects, with expected aggregate generation capacity of 825 MW by Himachal Pradesh (with a 51% participation interest in each).
SJVNL has entered into memoranda of understanding with the Uttarakhand government for three hydroelectric projects, with aggregate generation capacity of 363 MW. The company has agreed to participate in a joint venture with NHPC and the Manipur government for the development and operation of a 1,500-MW hydroelectric power project in the state. It has diversified to target hydroelectric power projects available outside India, and has been awarded the rights to build-own-operate-and-transfer (BOOT) a 900-MW hydroelectric power project in the Sankhuwasabha district of Nepal, through participating in a competitive tender held by the Nepalese government.
The expected capacity addition from all these projects is 4,000 MW (412 MW from the Rampur project and 3,588 MW from the other seven projects).
SJVNL has agreed to take a minority interest in a joint venture to develop a transmission line in India. This will be part of a transmission line expected to connect Dhalkewar in Nepal to Muzaffarpur in India. The company will expand to providing technical advisory and consultancy services.
SJVNL has lined up an initial public offer (IPO) of Rs 41.50 crore at a price band of Rs 23 to Rs 26. The IPO is opening on 29 April 2010 and closing on 3 May 2010. This is an offer for sale of the government of India's equity shares, representing 10.03% of the paid-up capital of the company. Accordingly, it will not receive any proceeds from the offer. All the proceeds, less offer expenses, will be received by the selling shareholder. The company is offering 5% discount to employees and retail investors.
Strengths
* Has historically been able to achieve high levels of operational efficiencies, reflected in the high average capacity indices for the NJHPS. Under the previous tariff regulations, which were effective during this period, was entitled to certain incentive payments based on its capacity index levels, as determined by the Northern Regional Power Committee (NRPC). Under the new performance-based tariff regime, will be entitled to these incentive payments only if monthly plant availability factor exceeds a pre-determined normative annual plant availability factor. For NJHPS, this is 82%. According to data published by the NRPC, the annual plant availability factor (calculated as the average of monthly plant availability factors in the period) for NJHPS was 92.4%, 96.7% and 96.1% in FY 2007, FY 2008 and FY 2009, respectively, exceeding the normative annual plant availability factor of 85% applicable to NJHPS in those years.
* Has experience in the development, execution and management of mega-hydroelectric projects through the development and operation of the 1,500-MW NJHPS, the largest hydroelectric power generation facility in India by generation capacity, located in the geo-technically sensitive Himalayan region.
* Has an established track record of operational excellence. Since the commissioning of NJHPS, it has consistently met or exceeded government-set performance targets for its operations. Has been upgraded to a Schedule A public sector undertaking and designated as a mini-ratna category-I public sector undertaking in recognition of its efforts.
Weaknesses
* Development of hydroelectric power projects typically requires a longer period of time compared with other power projects such as thermal power projects. Further, development of hydroelectric power projects may be subject to unexpected complexities and delays. There are a number of factors such as delays in the land acquisition process and associated resettlement and rehabilitation issues, geological, hydrological and climatic conditions that may cause delay or cost overruns. Hence, timely execution of the project is the key.
* There have been instances in the past when state governments, or the government of India, decided to transfer the rights to construct and operate hydroelectric power projects, originally awarded to certain parties, to other competing power developers.
* Required to supply 12% of its annual generation from NJHPS free of cost to Himachal Pradesh.
Valuation
Sales income increased 9%, gross generation 6% and PAT 37% in the nine months ended December 2009 over the nine months ended December 2008. However, due to seasonality in business, figures cannot be annualised. Sales (net) stood at Rs 1490.78 crore and PAT at Rs 759.32 crore in FY 2009. On post-IPO equity of Rs 4136.63 crore, the EPS for FY 2009 works out to Rs 1.8. The P/E is 12.5-14.2 times at the offer price band of Rs 23-Rs 26. In comparison, NHPC's consolidated EPS for FY 2009 stood at Re 1 and P/E 30 times at the current market price. The Price/Book Value (P/BV) of SJVNL is 1.4 – 1.6 times, while that of NHPC is 1.6 times.
Jaypee Infratech IPO Analysis
Part of the Jaypee group, Jaypee Infratech (JIL) is a special purpose vehicle promoted by Jaiprakash Associates (JAL) to develop, operate and maintain the Yamuna Expressway project connecting Noida and Agra in Uttar Pradesh. As viability gap funding for the expressway project, the company has got the right to develop for residential, commercial, amusement, industrial and institutional purpose 25 million square meters (or 6175 acres or 2,500 hectares) of land along the Yamuna Expressway at five locations. The overall cost of the project is Rs 9739.29 crore.
The build-operate-maintain-and-transfer Yamuna Expressway project is a six-lane access controlled expressway (extendable up to eight lanes) awarded originally to Jaiprakash Associates by the Yamuna Expressway Development Authority (YEA), the nodal agency appointed by Government of Uttar Pradesh (GoUP), with a concession of 36 years. The Yamuna Expressway project was subsequently transferred to JIL by its parent in 2007.
The construction of the Yamuna Expressway is required to be completed by April 2013. Based on the progress achieved so far, construction of the project is to be completed by 2011. It is estimated about 4,042 acres of land is required. JIL had taken possession of approximately 3,897 acres end March 2010. In addition, the company requires about 1,018 acres for construction of related structures (such as toll plazas). It has taken possession of 183 acres. YEA is expected to make balance land available to it soon.
Pursuant to the terms of the concession agreement and the choice of land parcels acquired for development, noted in a letter dated 12 July 2003, YEA has acquired and leased about 148.27 million square feet of land to JIL in four of the chosen five sites for lease of 90 years. YEA is acquiring the balance 105.84 million square feet (i.e., 2429.69 acres) for the five sites. The cost of the land leased out by YEA for expressway and real estate development is equal to YEA's cost in acquiring such land (based on the actual amount paid to land owners with no additional charge) plus rental equal to Rs 100 per hectare per year.
To date, JIL has commenced development of its land at Noida and has launched five projects under the Jaypee Greens brand, Jaypee Greens Klassic, Jaypee Greens Aman, Jaypee Greens Kosmos and Jaypee Kensington Park. Each is a residential unit development, residential plot project and a commercial plot project with planned saleable area of 24.34 million square feet. These projects, launched between November 2008 and February 2010, are targeted for handover in calendar years 2011 and 2013. The completion of a real estate project is to take three to four years, while the completion of all phases of an integrated township, such as Wish Town, can take significantly longer. Moreover, the company has also engaged SOM India LLC and Skidmore, Owings and Merrill India to do master plan for approximately 2,471 acres of land in the Gautam Budh Nagar (other than Noida) district.
While Jaiprakash Ventures Pvt Ltd (JVPL) provides JIL design and engineering services (including for toll plazas and the toll system), JAL provides civil works contract as well as sales and marketing services and related corporate services for development of the Yamuna Expressway. The scope of JAL also includes selection, engagement and oversight of consultants and subcontractors, procurement and transportation of certain building materials, construction services,
The proceeds from the fresh issue amounting Rs 1650 crore is to be used to part finance the Yamuna Expressway project and general corporate purpose. The proceeds from offer of sale will go to the selling stakeholder, JAL.
Strengths
Promoters JAL and the Jaypee group have strong track record of successfully executing complex projects including hydropower projects. The Jaypee group, though, has no prior experience of developing and operating expressways.
The development of expressway along with ribbon development of real estate projects will benefit each other. Earnings from real estate will subsidise the development of expressway and give additional traffic during and after full development. Better infrastructure including connectivity will increase the marketability and price for realty projects along the expressway.
Of the expected total land bank available for development, 885 acres is in Noida. An additional 2,470 acres are also located in the national capital region (NCR). These are the prime realty hotspots of the country. The established brand of Jaypee Greens of Jaypee Group in the NCR makes marketability of the realty projects easier.
Of the 24.34 million square feet of saleable area to be used for the five residential and one commercial project, approximately 88% had been sold per square foot end March 2010.
Relatively low-cost land reserve as the average cost of land acquired so far for construction of the expressway and real estate development is approximately Rs 26.7 lakh per acre.
Had paid in full (excluding annual lease rental) for approximately 98% of total expected land requirement for the expressway and real estate projects end February 2010.
Weaknesses
Of the 4,042.43 acres required for the expressway project, only about 3,896.66 acres have been acquired and leased. The balance 145.77 acres are yet to be acquired and transferred. The timely completion of the expressway project and flow of toll revenues largely hinge on getting possession of the balance land. Similarly, yet to get 835.33 acres of the 1,017.86 acres required for related structures such as toll plazas. For real estate development also it is yet to get possession for 2426.69 acres of land out of the total 6175 acres of land. The entire land for construction of structures for the Yamuna Expressway and real estate development is to be received by June 2010.
Though business is expressway development, major revenue is expected to come from unlocking of value of land reserves. As real estate is a cyclical business, timely completion and right product offering are crucial for success. Moreover, as a significant part of the land parcel is out of the NCR region and in the Aligarh and Agra districts, ability to unlock value from this land parcel has to be seen. Wait may be longer if the market is not conducive to unlock such remote land parcel, thereby money spent on land acquisition getting blocked.
Neither YEA nor GoUP or any other relevant body will permit construction of any competing expressway or road that may affect the toll revenue of the SPV. The Yamuna Expressway has to compete with existing National Highway (NH)-2.
Construction services have been given to promoter JAL on cost plus basis. Any escalation in material cost is likely to impact profit because increase in cost of development cannot be passed on to the customer as the price is typically agreed prior to or in the early stages of construction. Similarly, toll rates are linked to the wholesale price index and subject to government policies and applicable law.
Security provided for certain of promoter's obligations and vice versa. These arrangements may result in potential conflicts of interest.
Promoter JAL has two more wholly-owned subsidiaries developing of expressways: Himalayan Expressway (HEL), implementing the four-laning of the Zirakpur-Parwanoo section of NH-22, and Jaypee Ganga Infrastructure Corporation(JGICL), awarded a concession to develop a 1,047-km eight-lane access-controlled expressway connecting Greater Noida with Ghazipur-Ballia. Jaypee Agra Vikas (JAVL), a group company, has been awarded a concession to develop a 20.50-km long six-lane inner ring road in Agra. JAVL, which is to carry real estate development of approximately 3,160 acres of land along the inner ring road, and JGICL, which has a significant interest in real estate development, may prove to be competitors as there is no non-compete agreement in place between group companies.
Fortunes to be closely tied to economic and political developments in Uttar Pradesh.
Noida and the NCR region, where most of the main real estate projects will be located, are and continue to remain competitive markets.
Valuation
JIL is yet to commission its expressway project and collect tolls. Revenue in the fiscal ended March 2009 (FY 2009) have come from sales of undeveloped plots to group companies. Net sales of Rs 525.50 crore and net profit of Rs 398.85 crore was derived from sales of developed plots in the first nine months ended December 2009. The annualized EPS was Rs 3.8 for the nine months ended December 2009.
As JIL's business model is development of infrastructure (expressway) along with ribbon development of real estate, there is no listed comparable peer. The offer price of Rs 102-Rs 117 discounts the annualised EPS for the nine months ended December 2009 by 26.8-30.8 times. Retail individual bidders will get a discount of up to 5% to the issue price.
Investors in such projects should take a long-term view as significant benefits of the expressway and real estate projects will be realised only in the long run.

RIL off more than 4% as debt woes in Europe rattle world stocks
The key benchmark extended losses for the second straight day as world stocks reeled from rating downgrades on Greece and Portugal. The BSE 30-share Sensex was provisionally down 285.27 points or 1.61%, off close to 240 points from the day's high and up close to 60 points from the day's low. Metal and realty stocks led the decline. All the sectoral indices on BSE were in the red. The market breadth was weak.
Index heavyweight Reliance Industries (RIL) slumped more than 4%, extending recent losses triggered by disappointment from Q4 result. India's largest mobile services provider by sales Bharti Airtel dropped in volatile trade as Q4 net profit fell.
Stocks were volatile as traders rolled over positions in the derivatives segment from the April 2010 series to the May 2010 series ahead of the expiry of the near-month April 2010 contracts on Thursday, 29 April 2010. The market slumped in early trade as global stocks reeled from rating downgrades on Greece and Portugal. The market cut losses in morning trade. The market moved in a range in mid-morning trade. A sell-off gripped the market in mid-afternoon trade as European stocks extended losses. The market trimmed losses in late trade.
The Q4 March 2010 corporate earnings announced so far have been good. The combined net profit of a total of 372 companies rose 27.6% to Rs 28545 crore on 37.5% rise in sales to Rs 241872 crore in the quarter ended March 2010 over the quarter ended March 2009.
European equities extended losses on Wednesday, with financial shares sliding further following downgrades of Greek and Portuguese debt on Tuesday, when global stock markets fell sharply. The key benchmark indices in France, Germany and UK fell by between 0.64% to 1.86%.
Stocks in Portugal and Spain fell sharply and Greek shares fell again on Wednesday, with the ASE Composite index down another 0.4% to 1,688.84, after dropping 6% in the previous session as lenders such as Alpha Bank tumbled. Greece's securities regulator banned short selling for two months.
Asian stocks fell as renewed worries about Greece's debt problems led to sharp decline in US stocks on Tuesday. The key benchmark indices in Hong Kong, China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Indonesia were down by between 0.26% to 2.57%.
Concerns about Europe intensified when global rating agency Standard & Poor's on Tuesday downgraded Greece's debt to junk status and hit Portugal with a two-notch rating cut. Greece has already admitted it can't pay debts due shortly and has asked for a bailout from European neighbors and the International Monetary Fund.
US index futures reversed early gains. Trading in US index futures indicated that the Dow could fall 34 points at the opening bell on Wednesday 28 April 2010.
US stocks tumbled on Tuesday as downgrades of Greece and Portugal fueled fear about euro-zone economic stability, and a grilling of Goldman Sachs on Capitol Hill heightened the possibility of financial reforms. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 213.04 points, or 1.90% to 10,991.99. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index slid 28.34 points, or 2.34% to 1,183.71. The Nasdaq Composite Index lost 51.48 points, or 2.04% to 2,471.47.
The US Federal Reserve is likely to keep interest rates near zero and it is also likely to repeat its vow of an extended period of very low rates at the conclusion of a two-day policy meeting on Wednesday, 28 April 2010. The Fed has kept the Fed funds rate in a range of zero to 0.25% since December 2008.
Back home, the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government sailed through a trial of strength in parliament on Tuesday by winning the cut motion demanded by opposition parties against an unpopular hike in fuel and fertiliser prices with smaller parties giving it a leg up to achieve a surprisingly strong victory. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government was backed by 289 MPs in the 545-strong Lok Sabha, while the opposition managed 201 votes. Two parties walked out on the vote, adding to abstentions. However, major reforms may take a backseat for the some time to come as there is a stiff resistance by the opposition on fears it may hurt the poor.
On the macro front, the latest data showed infrastructure sector output jumped 7.2% in March 2010 from a year earlier, higher than an upwardly revised rise of 4.7% in February 2010.
The Indian Meteorological department (IMD) expects normal rainfall in the June-September monsoon season this year. Rainfall is likely to be 98% of the long-term average, the IMD said on 23 April 2010. Good monsoon rains would help raise farm output, boost rural incomes and lower food inflation. The south west monsoon is important for India as about 60% of the country's farmlands are rain-fed and more than half of the workforce is employed in the agriculture sector. The quantum of rainfall in the crucial sowing month of July and distribution of rainfall during the monsoon season holds key.

The fuel price index rose 12.45% and the primary articles index rose 14.14% in the year to 10 April 2010, the latest government data showed.
The Reserve Bank of India expects India's economy to expand 8% in the year ending March 2011 (FY 2011) with an upward bias, assuming a normal monsoon this year and sustenance of good performance of the industrial and services sectors on the back of rising domestic and external demand.
In its half-yearly World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has pegged India's GDP growth at 8.75% in calendar 2010 and 8.5% in calendar 2011. According to the IMF, domestic demand in India will strengthen as the labour market improves, and investment is expected to be boosted by strong corporate profitability, rising business confidence and favourable financing conditions.
Indian stocks had surged recently after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) raised interest rates on 20 April 2010 by less than some economists had expected and forecast inflation will slow.

Pre-market report
Global signals
The European shares fell at their fastest rate in five months on Tuesday, weighed by ratings agency Standard & Poor's downgrade of Greek and Portuguese debt.
The US equities tumbled Tuesday with stocks posting their worst day in the last three months after downgrades of Greece and Portugal fueled fears of stability of the euro-zone nations.
In today's trade, the Asian markets were trading on a negative note. At the time of writing this report, SGX Nifty was trading 69 points lower.
Indian markets
The downgrade of Greece and Portugal by the credit rating agency Standard & Poor's has feared the euro zone's debt problems and that has resulted in sell-off across the globe. Owing to this, the Indian equities may open gap-down and remain negative for rest of the day. Ahead of the Federal rate meet decision to be announced today and the F&O expiry tomorrow, the market is expected to remain volatile. The dollar depreciation against the rupee will be good for the Indian market, which offers the higher growth doubled with rupee appreciation that augers well for the investors in US. This must have triggered the heavy buying by the foreign institutional investors (FIIs) post the budget.
Commodity cues
In the commodity space, the crude oil prices plunged over 2% after Greece and Portugal's debt downgrade fueled concerns, with the Nymex light crude oil for the May series down by $1.76 per barrel, whereas in the metals space, the Comex Gold for the May series rose by $8.20 and the Comex Silver for the May series was down by $0.22 to a troy ounce respectively.
Daily trend of FII/MF investment in equities
On April 27, 2010, the FIIs were the net buyers of the Indian stocks to the tune of Rs565.80 crore, whereas the domestic mutual funds, on April 26, 2010, were the net sellers of the stocks to the tune of Rs28.80 crore.

The Heat is on
"Some people change their ways when they see the light; others when they feel the heat." - Caroline Schoeder.
It is time for the bulls to change their way a bit, at least for today, as heightened sovereign debt troubles in Europe has sent global markets in a bit of a tizzy. Risk appetite has taken a beating amid concerns that the financial mess in "PIGGS" could spread to more European nations and may hurt the global economic recovery. The Goldman Sachs fraud case and worries about more tightening in China are among the other pressure points.
To add to the volatility we have the F&O expiry on Thursday. The Fed will keep rates steady later today. Still, the markets will be eager to know if there is any change in its language. Given the weak global backdrop, the Indian market too will witness a gap-down opening. Whether we recover from this global jolt will hinge on how European markets open.
One will also have to keep a close tab on the latest developments in the region. The Nifty has a good support at 5200 but may fall below it if there is any further deterioration in the global sentiment. It is time to be a little guarded and wait for the turbulence to get over. A selective and careful approach is the need of the hour.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 213 points, or 1.9%, closing below 11,000, a key psychological level. The Dow ended the previous session at its highest point in 19 months. The slide was the Dow's biggest one-day point drop since July 15, 2009, when it lost 257 points.
The S&P 500 index fell 28 points, or 2.3%, closing below 1,200, a psychological level traders look at. The Nasdaq Composite slid 51 points, or 2%, to 2,471.47.
The Dow has ended higher for eight straight weeks, its best winning streak since January 2004. The Nasdaq has also been on the rise for 8 weeks, while the S&P 500 rose for 7 of the last 8 weeks.

US stocks were flat to lower in the morning as Goldman Sachs sought to defend itself on Capitol Hill against allegations it profited from the housing market collapse. But news that ratings agency S&P had cut Greece and Portugal's debt ratings overshadowed the Goldman Sachs testimony.
Fear was also reflected in the so-called flight to safety as investors poured money into bonds and the euro fell to a new low for the year.
That was reflected by a jump in the CBOE Volatility index, Wall Street's so-called fear gauge. It spiked 24%, hitting the highest point since February. Typically a surge in the VIX corresponds with a selloff in stocks.
S&P cut its ratings on Greece's long-term debt status to "BB+" with a negative outlook from "BBB+." The double-B plus rating is considered to be speculative or "junk," and reflects the ratings agency's concern about Greece's long-term ability to get out the current fiscal crisis. S&P cut Greece's short-term debt even lower.
S&P also cut Portugal's long-term debt ratings by two notches and the short-term rating by one notch, but did not lower the debt to junk status. The cost of insuring both Greece and Portugal's debt rose to record highs following the news.
Worries about the fiscal health of Greece and the other so-called PIIGS have weighed on the global stock markets for most part of the year amid worries that the debt problems could worsen and destabilize the euro.

In the day's economic news, the Case-Shiller 20 city home price index rose 0.6% in February versus a year earlier, the first rise on an annual basis in three years. However, economists were expecting a bigger gain of 1.1%. Prices fell 0.7% in January.

Policymakers need to put a plan in place to get spending in line with revenue so as to close the unsustainable fiscal gap threatening the recovery, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said. Bernanke spoke at the first meeting of President Obama's bipartisan debt commission.
The Fed policymakers are meeting on Tuesday and on Wednesday with an announcement on interest rates and the outlook due Wednesday afternoon.

Across the Atlantic, European shares plunged, led by Greek stocks as the specter of debt restructuring continues to hang over the Hellenic Republic with S&P cutting their ratings on both Portugal and Greece.
After Monday's rise of 1%, the Stoxx Europe 600 index plummeted 3.1% to 261.65, the worst single-day percentage drop since Nov. 26, as S&P cut Greece's debt rating to junk territory, and also cut Portugal's debt rating two notches. S&P threatened to cut both ratings further.
The Greek ASE Composite Index tumbled 6% to 1,698.68 - with that drop coming before S&P's latest downgrade. Greek stocks had been under pressure on worries that the country will restructure its debt. S&P expects holders of Greek debt to recover 30 to 50 cents on the dollar. Greek banks, which hold much of the government paper, plunged.
The PSI 20 index dropped 5.4% to 7,152.42 as S&P cut Portugal's rating to A- from A+, saying the government could struggle to stabilize its relative high debt ratio.

After being on an upswing for five straight trading sessions, bulls finally took a breather on Tuesday as traders and investors preferred to book some profits around the 5350 levels.

Slightly disappointing results from the index heavyweights like RIL, ICICI Bank and Maruti added to the jitters", says Amar Ambani Vice President IIFL.

Precious metal prices ended mixed on Tuesday, 27 April 2010 at Comex. Downgrade of Greek and Portuguese debt by Standard & Poor's led to ignition of euro zone problems once again. Gold ended higher but silver dropped. However, a strong dollar restricted yellow metals' gains.
Generally, a stronger dollar pressures demand for dollar-denominated commodities, such as crude oil and gold, which become more expensive for holders of other currencies and also vice versa.
On Tuesday, gold for June delivery ended at $1,162.2 an ounce, higher by $8.20 (0.7%) an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier during the day, it rose to a high of $1,165.3. Last week, gold ended higher by 1.5%. For the month of March, gold slid 0.4%. For the first quarter of this year, gold rose by 1.7%, its sixth quarterly rise. On a year to date basis, gold is higher by 5.9%.
On Tuesday, May Comex silver futures ended lower by 22 cents (1.2%) at $18.11 an ounce. Last week, silver lost 2.9%. For the month of March, silver ended higher by 5%. For the first quarter of this year, silver rose by 3%. On a year to date basis, silver is higher by 6.5%.
In the currency market on Tuesday, the dollar index, which measures the strength of the dollar against basket of six other currencies rose by 0.7%. Portugal's and Greece's ratings downgrade comes on top of months of worry over Greece's fiscal position and concerns that other countries in the periphery of the euro zone might also be suffering from the same ailments.
Gold had ended FY 2009 higher by 24%. Silver futures had ended 2009 up 50%. The dollar index had lost 4.2% against its counterparts last year.
Last year, after hitting a low at $807.30 per ounce on 15 January 2009, gold futures rallied almost 51% to hit an all-time high at $1217.40 per ounce during early December of 2009 but fell from those levels at the end. Silver futures had hit a low at $10.42 on 15 January 2009 and hit a high at $19.30 per ounce on 2 December 2009. Like gold, silver also ended lower than its all time high level.
