Precious metals glitter
Precious metals end losing streak
Precious metal prices ended substantially higher on Wednesday, 30 March 2011 at Comex. Prices went up after staying somber for quite a few sessions. Traders were back as precious metals had dropped from their all time highs. Continuing Mid East and North African crisis together with euro zone debt problems increased the appeal of precious metals against an alternate investment. Prices rose despite a strong dollar.
Crude ends lower
Prices drop as inventories rise more than expected
Oil prices ended lower on Wednesday, 30 March 2011 at Nymex. Prices dropped as energy department reported more than expected build up in crude inventories for last week. A strong dollar also impacted prices.
F&O expiry to add volatility
Firm global cues are likely to trigger a positive start on the Indian bourses. However, a rise in crude oil prices and profit booking after a seven-day rally may cap upside. Trading of S&P CNX Nifty futures on the Singapore stock exchange indicates a gain of 10.50 points at the opening bell. Volatility may remain high as derivative contracts for the near-month March 2011 series are set for expiry today, 31 March 2011. The near term major trigger for the market is Q4 March 2011 results which will start trickling in from about mid-April 2011.

Power play on expiry
"He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still" - Lao Tzu.
The ‘Men in Blue’ have mastered themselves and are just a match short of holding aloft the coveted World Cup trophy. The Indian market too is exhibiting euphoria of sorts with the key indices advancing for seven straight sessions. It has been mostly a Large-Cap rally, fueled by renewed traction in FII inflows. The juggernaut may roll on for a while till the FIIs turn off the money taps.
Sensex on 7th heaven...Realty & Banks shine
The Indian market extended the recent rally to a seventh successive trading session on Wednesday amid strong cues from the international equity markets and robust FII inflows. Also, the much-awaited technical breakout above the 200-DMA this week seems to have sparked further buying. F&O indicators have also improved, with the bears having to cover their shorts ahead of the settlement on Thursday.

Nifty towards @ 5800 levels …
Yesterday, Nifty opened firm and thereafter accelerated towards 5800 odd levels. Nifty made the high of 5788 and managed to close well above 5750 marks. Nifty has accelerated 400 points in a span of six trading sessions from 5400 to 5780 levels and is almost approaching towards the initial expected target of 5820 levels. Some profit-taking and consolidation cannot be ignored in next few sessions before Index resume its fresh up move thus trailing the stops for long holding positions will be advisable. Technically we continue to believe that Nifty has given a break-out of the “Symmetrical Triangular” pattern and thus should head towards fresh highs targeting initially 5820 followed by 6020 levels in the mid-term in best case scenario. The supports for the Index can be expected at around 5550 & 5350 levels Positionally. The levels to watch for the Index in the current week will be 5796 & 5912 levels on the higher end while 5460 & 5240 levels on the lower end. In intraday trade Nifty future will find support at 5701/5652 levels whereas its resistance will be at around 5794/5838.
