Global signals

European stocks retreated after yesterday’s sharp rally as doubts about Greece' ability to smoothly cut its fiscal deficit persisted. As of writing of this report, FTSE 100 was trading lower by 1.71%.

All the major Asian indices closed in the negative territory after registering huge gains in the previous session. SGX Nifty closed 80 points lower.

US stock futures signal lower opening on the Wall Street after registering its biggest one-day gain in over a year. Investors will keep an eye on Walt Disney and Electronic Arts as their earnings will be announced later today.

Indian indices

Yesterday the Indian market had rallied sharply on the news of European Union along with the International Monetary Fund declaring $1 trillion bailout package to stop rising Greece' debt crisis from spreading to other Euro zone as well as other regions of globe. However, today the market failed to continue its momentum, washing away previous session’s gains and declined tracking Asian peers. The markets around the globe turned negative reacting to concerns over implementation of $1 trillion package. Moody's Investors Service, in an unusual move regarding its sovereign ratings process, said on Monday it may downgrade its ratings on Portugal, and Greece' rating could fall to as low as junk. Higher inflation for April 2010 in China raised worries of further monetary tightening in the country. China's consumer prices rose a more-than-estimated 2.8% in April from a year earlier, the fastest pace in 18 months, another data showed industrial production, which surged 17.8% in April from a year earlier, after an 18.1% gain in March.

The Sensex began the session mere six points higher and soon touched the day’s high of 17,379 in opening minutes of the trade. However, it turned negative and expanded its losses. In afternoon session, the Indian market tumbled further mirroring European markets, which rolled back from yesterday’s sharp rally and traded in the negative territory, and along with robust selling in metal and realty counters dragged the Sensex to its day’s low of 17104. At the finishing line, the Sensex quoted at 17142, 189 points lower and the Nifty shut lower by 57 points at 5136.

Market sentiment

The market breadth was negative as declining stocks outnumbered advancing stocks. Of the 2,950 stocks traded on the BSE, 1,756 stocks declined, whereas 1,093 stocks advanced. Hundred and one stocks remained unchanged.

Sectoral & stock screening

All the 13 sectors rallied heavily yesterday. But today was the day of contrast where all the 13 sectoral indices closed lower. BSE Metal and BSE realty fell the most with loss of 2.57% and 2.43% respectively. BSE Bankex, was the lead affected sector, declined marginally by 0.34%.

In ‘A’ group list: Gainers were — the pick of the stock of the day was Rashtriya Chemicals, up 3.83%, followed by Petronet LNG that surged 3.69% and Chambal Fertilisers that rose 3.04%. Laggards were — Piramal Healthcare slid the most by 7.35%, followed by Idea Cellular that fell 5.31% and Reliance Infrastructure that shed 4.96%.

Viewing volumes

Anil Dhirubhai Ambani group company, Reliance Natural Resources saw highest trading on third straight day with over 1.73 crore shares changing hands on the BSE, followed by industrial finance company IFCI (1.09 crore shares), wind turbine major Suzlon Energy (0.56 crore shares), India’s second largest developer Unitech (0.40 crore shares), and chemical and fertiliser company Rashtriya Chemicals (0.34 crore shares).

Bullish force fizzles out in Asia


Dollar maintains gains after yesterday's intraday rebound

Asian markets flipped back bulk of their yesterday's strong gains as the markets watched at the steady rebound in US dollar and the retreat in commodities like base metals and crude oil hurt the sentiments. The market was also hit by known fears about Chinese monetary tightening. A wave of extremely strong economic data, particularly on the prices and lending front pushed the investors back as investor's looked at it as a sign of further rounds of monetary tightening from the world's faster growing economy.

China's inflation and bank credit continued to rise further in April. Latest figures from the State Bureau Of Administration showed that China's consumer prices were 2.8% higher in April than a year earlier, while producer prices were up 6.8%. This figure took the gauge to an 18-month. Chinese banks extended 774 billion yuan ($113.5 billion) worth of new local-currency loans in April, up from 510.7 billion yuan in March, up sharply by 51%, according to central bank data. This has ensured the markets that more measures are certainly due from the central bank on the monetary tightening front after the spree of hikes in the banks reserve requirements in last few weeks.

Property sector in China is also showing no signs of a moderation in prices. Urban property prices in China continued to rise in April in spite of several policy-tightening measures from Beijing. Property prices in 70 cities increased 12.8% in April from the year-earlier month, accelerating from the 11.7% rise registered in the previous month.

Chinese stocks reacted sharply to this data as rate hike and monetary tightening fears loomed large. China's key stock index fell more than 2 percent to its lowest in a year, reversing earlier gains as relief over the euro zone debt package faded and worries mounted over a worsening inflation outlook. The Shanghai Composite Index fell as far as 2,638.5 points, its lowest close since May 27, 2009, after reversing a nearly 2 percent rise in early trade.

Australian stocks ended in negative territory as traders digested the impact of the trillion-dollar package to the debt crisis in Europe. Weak trading across Asian markets despite sharp rally in Wall Street in the previous session also weighed on market sentiment with resources facing major brunt. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 Index declined 51.80 points, or 1.13% to 4,548, while the All-Ordinaries Index ended at 4,573, representing a loss of 49.00 points, or 1.06%.

The stock market in Japan also ended in negative territory after sharp gains in last session.. Fresh concerns about the implementation of the financial package to Europe impacted market sentiment. The benchmark Nikkei 225 Index fell 119.60 points, or 1.1%, to 10,411.10, while the broader Topix index of all First Section issues fell 12.54 points, or 1.3%, to 932.10

In Mumbai, the key benchmark indices edged lower as world stocks retreated after yesterday's big surge amid uncertainty over euro-zone countries' ability to reduce their deficits. The BSE 30-share Sensex was provisionally down 205.13 points or 1.18%, up close to 20 points from the day's low and off close to 255 points from the day's high. All the sectoral indices on the BSE were in the red. The market breadth, indicating the overall health of the market, was weak. Metal, realty, telecom and IT stocks fell. Hindalco Industries declined in a weak market despite strong Q4 result.

The Sensex had surged 3.35% on Monday, 10 May 2010, as global stocks rallied after European leaders on Sunday, 9 May 2010, announced a rescue package to prevent Greece's fiscal woes from triggering a broader sovereign-debt crisis.

In other markets, stocks in Singapore dropped 0.80%, Taiwan equities came off by 0.73% while Hong Kong's Hang Seng shed 1.37%.

In the U.S., stocks rallied off of last week's lows to open the week on Monday, as news of a nearly $1 trillion package engineered to maintain financial stability in Europe reassured the markets. The major averages all closed firmly in positive territory, recovering a significant portion of last week's steep losses. The European aid package totals up to 750 billion euros, or $970 billion, in loans and is aimed at safeguarding Euro zone nations facing debt issues following the crisis in Greece. The Dow jumped 404.71 points or 3.9% to 10,785, the Nasdaq advanced by 109.03 points or 4.8%to 2,375 and the S&P 500 surged up by 48.85 points or 4.4% to 1,160.

Light sweet crude oil futures for June delivery slipped after modest gains in the early trades. The commodity edged up above $77 per barrel but soon slipped as the market participants eyed the recovery in the US dollar. The commodity currently trades at $75.74, down $1.06 from the previous close.

Rally fizzles out as euphoria over euro zone rescue plan fades


The key benchmark indices edged lower in choppy trade as world stocks retreated after Monday (10 May 2010)'s solid surge amid uncertainty over euro-zone countries' ability to reduce their deficits. The BSE 30-share Sensex fell 189.02 points or 1.09%, up close to 35 points from the day's low and off close to 275 points from the day's high. All the sectoral indices on the BSE were in the red. The market breadth, indicating the overall health of the market, was weak. Metal, realty, telecom and IT stocks fell. Hindalco Industries declined in a weak market despite strong Q4 result. Ranabaxy Laboratories, too, fell a weak market after turnaround Q1 result.

The Sensex had surged 3.35% on Monday, 10 May 2010, as global stocks rallied after European leaders on Sunday, 9 May 2010, announced a rescue package to prevent Greece's fiscal woes from triggering a broader sovereign-debt crisis.

Stocks were volatile. The market slipped into the red soon after a firm start. The market came off the lower level in early trade. But, the intraday recovery proved short-lived. The Sensex hit a fresh intraday low in morning trade. The market extended losses in early afternoon trade. Bargain hunting in select Sensex stocks helped the market trim losses in afternoon trade. The market once again weakened in mid-afternoon trade, with the Sensex hitting a fresh intraday low.

NSE's volatility index India VIX, a measure of traders' perception of near-term risks in the market based on options prices, jumped 6.92% to 25.81. The index had tumbled 11.9% to 24.14 on Monday, 10 May 2010. India VIX is calculated based on the S&P CNX Nifty options prices. India VIX is a measure of the market's expectation of volatility over the next 30 calendar days.

European shares fell after a massive rally on Monday, as doubts about Greece's ability to cut its fiscal deficit still persisted. The key benchmark indices in UK, France and Germany were down by 1.26% to 2.33%.

Asian equities fell on Tuesday, reversing initial gains, as lingering doubts about how Greece and other debt-laden euro zone countries will reduce their budget deficits put the brakes on the impressive relief rally in global stocks on Monday. The key benchmark indices in Hong Kong, China, Indonesia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan fell by between 0.44% to 1.90%.

Moody's Investors Service, in an unusual move regarding its sovereign ratings process, said on Monday it may downgrade its ratings on Portugal, and Greece's rating could fall to as low as junk.

The European Union and the International Monetary Fund agreed on Sunday to create a nearly $1 trillion rescue fund to support European nations burdened by heavy debt.

Meanwhile, higher inflation for April 2010 raised worries of further monetary tightening in China. China's consumer prices rose a more-than-estimated 2.8% in April from a year earlier, the fastest pace in 18 months. Another data showed industrial production rose 17.8% in April from a year earlier, after an 18.1% gain in March.

Trading in US index futures indicated that the Dow could fall 114 points at the opening bell on Tuesday, 11 May 2010.

US stocks racked up their biggest one-day gain in over a year on Monday as an agreement on a $1 trillion emergency rescue package from the European Union reduced fears a new credit crisis would derail European economies. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 404.71 points, or 3.90% to 10,785.14. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 48.85 points, or 4.40% to 1,159.73. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 109.03 points, or 4.81% to 2,374.67.

Meanwhile, US market watchdogs and six major exchanges agreed new safeguards were needed to curb trading in plunging markets, an effort to address last Thursday's mysterious market free fall. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Schapiro met on Monday with the leaders of major stock and option exchanges, as well as the brokerage industry watchdog, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Regulators still have not pinpointed the exact cause of last week's 20-minute market roller coaster, when many stocks dropped precipitously for several minutes before recovering most of their losses.

Back home, the fourth quarter corporate results announced so far have been fairly encouraging. The combined net profit of a total of 1444 companies rose 30.3% to Rs 44322 crore on 29% rise in sales to Rs 415840 crore in the quarter ended March 2010 over the quarter ended March 2009.

Business at Indian service companies rebounded to a 21-month-high in April 2010 on new business and high input prices. The HSBC Markit Business Activity Index, based on a survey of 400 firms, rose to 62.1 in April, its highest since July 2008, and compared with 58.1 in March 2010.

The government will announce the industrial output data for the month of March 2010 on Wednesday, 12 May 2010. Industrial output rose by lower than expected 15.1% February 2010 and also lower than 16.7% rise in January 2010.

On Friday, 14 May 2010, the government will unveil data on inflation based on the wholesale prices for the month of April 2010. The headline inflation was 9.9% in March 2010. The RBI has forecast the headline inflation to ease to 5.5% at end-March 2011 on expectations of a normal monsoon.

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 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. The RBI at its annual policy review on 20 April 2010 said it will continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions, particularly the price situation closely and take further action as warranted.

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.

The BSE 30-share Sensex fell 189.02 points or 1.09% to 17,141.53. The Sensex fell 226.10 points at the day's low of 17,104.45 in mid-afternoon trade. The index rose 48.60 points at the day's high of 17,379.15 in early trade.

Among the 30-share Sensex pack, 27 declined while the rest rose.

Index heavyweight Reliance Industries (RIL) fell 1.2% to Rs 1067.20 in volatile trade. The stock came off the day's high of Rs 1089. The stock had surged in the past two trading sessions after a favourable ruling in the Supreme Court late last week on gas dispute with Anil Ambani controlled Reliance Natural Resources (RNRL). The Supreme Court ordered the two firms to renegotiate a deal based on government policy on gas utilization.

Earlier, the Bombay High Court, in its order dated 15 June 2009 had directed that RNRL will get assured supply of 28 mmscmd of gas from RIL's Krishna-Godavari basin for 17 years at $2.34 per million British thermal units (mBtu).

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 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.

The RBI at its annual policy review on 20 April 2010 said it will continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions, particularly the price situation closely and take further action as warranted. A 25 basis points hike in the cash reserve ratio (CRR) with effective from 24 April 2010 will suck out excess liquidity of Rs 12500 crore from the banking system.

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.

The key benchmark indices recouped a large portion of previous week's steep losses in a single trading session on Monday, 10 May 2010, as global stocks rallied after European leaders on Sunday, 9 May 2010, announced a rescue package to prevent Greece's fiscal woes from triggering a broader sovereign-debt crisis. The BSE 30-share Sensex surged 561.44 points or 3.35% to 17,330.55 on Monday.

Pre-market report

Global signals

The European shares posted their biggest daily rise in more than 17 months on Monday after European central banks started to buy euro zone government bonds under a $1 trillion rescue package.

The US stocks racked up their biggest one-day gain in over a year on Monday as an agreement on a $1 trillion emergency rescue package from the European Union quelled fears a new credit crisis would derail European economies.

In today's trade, the Asian markets were trading in the positive territory. At the time of writing this report, SGX Nifty was trading 5 points higher.

Indian markets

The markets around the globe had made an amazing recovery from a sharp sell off last week, as relieved investors see the massive $1 trillion rescue package cobbled together by global policymakers to bail out debt-laden European Union (EU) countries.

Thee Asian markets were trading higher in their early trade, with modest gains as investors focused on the implementation of the European Union's bail out package. The Indian markets are expected to have a gap-up opening, following the track set by the global peers. Ahead through the session, markets are expected to trade in a positive bias. The foreign institutional investors (FIIs) continue to be the net sellers as the case in the entire last week on the back of profit booking.

The earnings of Kotak Mahindra Bank, Ranbaxy Laboratories and Hindalco Industries are later to be announced today — the stocks will be closely eyed by the investors.

Commodity cues

In the commodity space, the crude oil prices inched on Monday, with the Nymex light crude oil for the June series rose by $1.69 per barrel, whereas in the metals space, the Comex Gold for the June series declined by $9.60 and the Comex Silver for the June series was down by $0.10 to a troy ounce respectively.

Daily trend of FII/MF investment in equities

On May 10 2010, the FIIs were the net sellers of the Indian stocks to the tune of Rs1589.90 crore, whereas the domestic mutual funds, on May 07, 2010, were the net sellers of the stocks to the tune of Rs13.70 crore.

Time to rest!


There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up - Oscar Wilde.

Global markets have heaved a sigh of relief. European leaders have buried the hatchet to avert a possible split in the euro-zone and bolster confidence in the euro. Another major financial crisis has been avoided. But, it remains to be seen how fast the debt-ridden European nations can rebound from here on. A major task ahead of them is to overhaul their economic structures to return to sustainable growth while also keeping in check their high debt levels.

The global economic recovery has suffered a temporary setback. What that means is that the crisis-fighting stimulus will stay for some time to come in advanced nations. Even central banks in emerging countries like India may go slow in raising rates. The dollar may remain firm. Emerging markets with strong growth will benefit from ultra-soft monetary regime in western countries.

For the day, the outlook remains positive though the start will be lackluster. Asian markets are mixed. Stocks in China are up this morning, owing to strong set of economic data released today. The Hang Seng is in the red. Some choppiness is likely and the main Indian indices may once again slip into a rangebound trade. We would urge caution at these levels.

The NSE Nifty may face resistance at around 5250-5350 levels while on the downside support is expected to kick in at 4950-5050. One should wait till the Nifty achieves a decisive break out of this current range. A sustained move past 5400 or perhaps even 5500 may still take a while to materialise.

Global markets must remain fairly strong and there should not be any significant external accidents. Liquidity, which had dipped due to the European crisis, should also remain robust. In the immediate future, one needs to closely follow macro-economic data points like the IIP and monthly inflation. Both the reports will be out later this week.

Crude takes a big leap


Prices recover part of their last week's losses

Crude oil ended substantially higher at Nymex on Monday, 10 May 2010. Prices rose as news of Europe's $970 billion financial-stabilization package cheered investors. It eased concerns about global recovery as of now and lent some respite regarding question of crude's demand in coming months. Prices rose today after shedding almost 13% last week.

On Monday, crude-oil futures for light sweet crude for June delivery closed at $76.8/barrel (higher by $1.69 or 2.3%). Prices hit a high of $78.52 during intra day trading. For the month of April, crude rose 2.8%. For the first quarter of this year, crude rose by 5.5%. Year to date, crude is higher by 2.3%.

Prices are very much lower as compared to 3 July, 2008 settlement of $145.29 a barrel and an intraday high of $147.27 on 11 July, 2008, an all-time high. However, oil has also gained nearly 145% from a December 2008 nadir. That day prices settled at $33.87 a barrel following an intraday low of $32.40.

A decision by the European Union and International Monetary Fund leaders to pledge financial support to the eurozone brought about a wave of buying and short covering that caused the stock markets across globe to surge in its best single-session percentage gain in more than a year.

As per latest reports, countries in the eurozone that face financial uncertainty will be eligible to receive some 500 billion euros from the EU and another 250 billion euros from the IMF. In addition to those measures, the European Central Bank will buy eurozone bonds from the secondary market and the Federal Reserve has reactivated swap lines with foreign institutions. At least for the time being, those efforts have eased contagion concerns that have surrounded Greece for weeks.

In the currency market today, the dollar index, which measures the strength of the dollar against a basket of six currencies, fell by 0.9%.

Also on Monday, natural gas for June delivery rose 16 cents, or 3.9%, to $4.17 per million British thermal units.

Crude ended FY 2009 higher by 78%, the highest yearly gain since 1999. It reached a high of $82 earlier in October 2009 and hit a low of $33.98 on 12 February 2009. Crude prices had ended FY 2008 lower by 54%, the largest yearly loss since trading began at Nymex.

Mixed end for precious metals


Gold fails to benefit from short covering

Precious metals ended mixed on Monday, 10 May at Comex. News of Europe's $970 billion financial-stabilization package reduced some demand for gold as a safe haven. But silver prices ended marginally higher. The dollar slipped today mainly against the euro though the euro pared part of its gains at the end.

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 Monday, gold for June delivery ended at $1,200.8 an ounce, lower by $9.6 (0.8%) an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It fell to a low of $1,198 during intra day trading. Last couple of days, gold prices had increased as uncertainty loomed over euro zone's problems. Gold for June delivery had settled above $1,200 in early December, only to pull back to $1,172 area and dip as much as the $1,050 vicinity in early February.

Last week, gold ended higher by 2.5%. For the month of April, gold ended higher by 6%. 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 9.4%.

On Monday, July Comex silver futures ended higher by 10 cents (0.55%) at $18.55 an ounce. Last week, silver ended lower by 0.9%. For the month of April, silver ended higher by 4.1%. For the first quarter of this year, silver rose by 3%. On a year to date basis, silver is higher by 6.8%.

A decision by the European Union and International Monetary Fund leaders to pledge financial support to the eurozone brought about a wave of buying and short covering that caused the stock markets across globe to surge in its best single-session percentage gain in more than a year.

As per latest reports, countries in the eurozone that face financial uncertainty will be eligible to receive some 500 billion euros from the EU and another 250 billion euros from the IMF. In addition to those measures, the European Central Bank will buy eurozone bonds from the secondary market and the Federal Reserve has reactivated swap lines with foreign institutions. At least for the time being, those efforts have eased contagion concerns that have surrounded Greece for weeks.

In the currency market today, the dollar index, which measures the strength of the dollar against a basket of six currencies, fell by 0.9%.

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.
