Sensex ekes out slim gains...Nifty above 5300
The Indian markets kick started the March F&O series with smart gains even, as Mamata Banerjee's largely populist Railway Budget was countered by an upbeat Economic Survey. But, today's gains didn't come all that easy with the key indices turning highly volatile in the afternoon before finishing marginally higher.
Balancing sentiment
Deficits do not in themselves produce inflation, nor does a balanced budget assure a stable price level. - William Vickrey.
It is Budget Day again and disappointment should be less, as expectations are pretty low. India’s growth engine will continue to roll on at the current pace next year as well, but problem areas still persist. High inflation, a yawning fiscal gap, widening current account deficit, dwindling FDI, less-than-adequate infrastructure, policy logjam and corruption are among the critical ones.
Market may open flat to slightly lower; all eyes on the Budget
The market may open flat to slightly lower on weak Asian stocks. Union Budget 2011-2012 will set the tone for the market later in the day. Trading of S&P CNX Nifty futures on the Singapore stock exchange indicates a fall of 3 points at the opening bell. As per provisional figures, foreign funds sold shares worth Rs 561.46 crore and domestic funds bought shares wroth Rs 555.29 crore on Friday, 25 February 2011.

Thermax
A strong pace of execution in projects from steel and cement industries, comfortable order book, entry into utility power equipment and almost nil debt are all positives for energy and environment solutions provider Thermax.
Aurobindo Pharma
Aurobindo Pharma, on February 23, announced that the US FDA had imposed a ban on shipments from one of its unit; following which the stock tumbled 17 per cent. It has plummeted 26 per cent over last week accompanied with heavy volumes and is currently testing its significant long-term support band between Rs 155 and Rs 165.
Hitachi Home & Life Solutions
The stock of consumer durable maker, Hitachi Home & Life Solutions (India), is available at a price-to-earnings ratio of 14 times (trailing earnings) after a price correction of over 40 per cent in the last five months. We see this price correction as an overreaction from the market to the company's results that were below expectations in the last two quarters. The stock looks a good investment at the current market price of Rs 178.
Mahindra and Mahindra
During the last two years, the auto industry has had a dream run, thanks to the turnaround after the economic slowdown. Going forward, the industry faces headwinds in the form of high input prices, increasing interest rates and an expected moderation in volumes due to base effect and rising prices. On the other hand, there are no signs of weakness in demand, indicating that there may still be steam left before the industry growth peaks out.

Budget to dictate near-term trend
Union Budget 2011-2012 to be presented by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Monday, 28 February 2011, remains a key near term trigger for the market. Fiscal consolidation, extent of infrastructure spending, clarity on key direct and indirect tax reforms viz. the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the Direct Taxes Code (DTC), better targeting of subsidies are some important issues which investors are eyeing in the Budget. Stock specific/sector specific movement will be witnessed based on announcements for various sectors in the Budget.
Market slumps on surging crude oil
The market slumped last week as a flare-up in global oil prices and worries about its negative impact on the Indian economy rattled the equity market ahead of the Union Budget on Monday, 28 February 2011. India imports 80% of its crude needs, accounting for 3.5% of global consumption. The sharp rise in oil prices will likely add to economic stress in India at a time when the country is already battling high food inflation.
Market snaps three-day losses ahead of Budget
The key benchmark indices edged higher amid intense volatility, snapping last three days' losses, as the government's Economic Survey for 2011-11 tabled in the parliament noted that deepening the reform process would hold the key to sustaining the fiscal consolidation process. The BSE 30-share Sensex was up 68.50 points or 0.39%, off close to 120 points from the day's high and up close to 230 points from the day's low. The market recovered after hitting 2-week lows as government's forecast of a strong about 9% economic growth for the year ending March 2012 offset a populist rail budget where passenger fares were kept unchanged. Firm global stocks also supported Indian equities. All eyes are now on the Union Budget 2011-2012 to be presented by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Monday, 28 February 2011.
Market may open higher; Rail Budget in focus
The market may open higher, snapping recent losses if trading of S&P CNX Nifty futures on the Singapore stock exchange is of any indication. It indicate a gain of 18 points at the opening bell. Oil stabilized on Friday after a sharp reversal from a 2-1/2 year peak overnight, calming concerns that a surge in prices would hurt economic recovery. US crude oil futures for April 2011 were at $96.71 a barrel, down 57 cents, or 0.59%. As per provisional figures foreign funds sold shares worth Rs 2702.22 crore and domestic funds bought shares worth Rs 1029.92 crore on Thursday, 24 February 2011.

Sensex slaughtered on heavy volume
It was a complete Blood-Bath on Dalal Street on Thursday, with the Indian equity indices plunged by over 3%, registering their biggest single-day fall since August 2009.
Today’s nasty fall was seen on record trading volumes, with the total market turnover crossed all time high. The F&O volume itself came close to the Rs. 3 Lakh crore mark on the expiry day. The steep fall was so swift that every pull back attempt was used for further selling.
C-rude shock indeed
"Blame someone else and get on with your life"- Alan Woods.
Just when the sentiment on the Indian bourses was improving we have been hit hard by a swift and a steep spike in crude oil amid worsening Middle-East turmoil. The crude shock has triggered fears of further uptick in inflation and interest rates. A bloated oil import bill also hits India’s external balance sheet and fiscal health.

Asian markets witness bloodbath amid Middle East skirmish
Most indices end with steep losses, DOW futures down more than 100 points
Asian stocks dipped sharply today as poor week continued amid gyrating political tensions in the Middle East. Worries over the violent protests in Libya could lead to a further spread of the current public uprising in the Middle East region hurt the sentiments and stocks mostly ended with steep losses today. The US markets were closed yesterday on account of the Presidents' Day holiday but the DOW futures skidded intensely lower today, shedding more than 100 points and making it impossible for the indices in Asia to launch a late comeback as they did in the last session.
Most sectoral indices on BSE decline
The key benchmark indices edged lower in choppy trade as macroeconomic worries arising from surging crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions due to crisis in Libya weighed on the sentiment. Global stocks fell as investors were worried about the risk of the unrest in Libya spreading to bigger economies such as Saudi Arabia and China. Eleven out of 13 sectoral indices on BSE were in negative zone. The market breadth was weak. Capital goods, auto, banking and metal stocks witnessed selling pressure. The Nifty fell below the 5,500 level, having moved above and below that level alternatively in intraday trade.
