Monday marks an excellent start for Asian markets


Asian markets ended in a positive manner today, starting off the year on upbeat note as the investors ignored the weak Chinese economic data and instead fosued on the medium term outlook for the world economy. The official Purchasing Managers Index in China moderated for the first time in four months, an indication of cooling manufacturing activities in China due to tighter monetary policies. The PMI, a comprehensive gauge of industrial activities across the country, was at 53.9% in December from November's 55.2% percent The result was similar to the HSBC PMI reading released last Thursday, which fell to a three-month low of 54.4 in December. The markets managed to shrug this off though with the equity bourses in Australia, Tokyo, Shanghai, New Zealand and Thailand being closed for public holidays. This made it a thinly traded session and ideas that the Chinese monetary tightening efforts are working fine for the economy worked fine with the bulls who preferred to keep the year end momentum going. In US on Friday, the Dow had closed up 0.07% at 11577.51 Friday, up 11% from where it began 2010.

Market starts 2011 on positive note; Sensex scales 7-week high


The key benchmark indices posted small gains to scale seven week closing highs on the first trading session of calendar year 2011 on strong manufacturing sector data, on higher auto sales in the month just gone by and on firm world markets. The market gained for the fourth straight day today, 3 January 2011. Index heavyweight Reliance Industries (RIL) reversed initial gains. Two-wheeler major Bajaj Auto skidded more than 4% on sequential decline in sales in December 2010. Banking, metal and consumer durables stocks climbed. The market breadth was strong. The BSE Mid-Cap and Small-Cap indices outperformed the Sensex. The BSE 30-share Sensex was up 51.96 points or 0.25%, up close to 30 points from the day's low and off close to 105 points from the day's high.

Old resolutions in new year!


"Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account." - By Oscar Wilde.

The first trading day in the New year is here and bulls will hope there are no hangovers owing to the extended weekend. Many markets around the world are shut for extended New Year holidays. Asian markets which are open for trading are mostly positive. We expect the bulls to shake off any weariness and kick off 2011 on a bright note.

Their performance for 2010 was strong, though. The dollar continued to stay weak but the same too failed to induce any buying.
