Market slips as rising crude oil, Japan nuke crisis play spoilsport


The market declined last week on concerns over developments in Japan and its impact on the global recovery. The key benchmark indices, which attempted to edge higher in the beginning of the week, gave up gains as the Reserve bank of India's 25 basis point hike in key rates put pressure on the market. Even the marginal fall in weekly food inflation numbers for the first week of March was ignored by investors.

Market likely to remain subdued on political uncertainties, rising crude prices


The market is likely to exhibit weakness in the forthcoming week on rising political uncertainties and a spurt in crude oil prices. Activity of the domestic and foreign funds will determine the market trend. Also impact of the massive earthquake and tsunami, that struck the World's third largest economy - Japan on 11 March 2011, on the global economy and the developments from the Middle East will be closely watched.

Sensex settles below 18,000 as RIL drops over 4%


The key benchmark indices edged lower, extending Thursday's decline, on rising political uncertainties and a spurt in crude oil prices. Notwithstanding a firm start, the barometer index had slipped below the psychological 18,000 mark in mid-morning trade. Intraday volatility was high. European equities, US index futures and Asian markets edged higher following a decision of the G-7 leaders to intervene in the currency markets to curb the yen's rise. The BSE 30-share Sensex was down 271.06 points or 1.49% to 17,878.81, off 380.8 points from the day's high. The index had declined 1.14% on Thursday on fears of further monetary tightening by the central bank to tame high inflation.

Sensex sinks as RBI tightens…Nifty below 5450


The Indian market resumed its downtrend, with the main stock indices closing near the low point of the day, after the RBI hiked rates by 25 bps and raised its inflation estimate amid persistent worries over the global uncertainties.

The RBI increased the repo rate and the reverse repo rate by a quarter point to 6.75% and 5.75%, respectively. It also increased the estimate of inflation for the current fiscal year to ~8% from a previous forecast of 7%.

Changing colours…green at start


The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love colour the most. - John Ruskin.

Investors have been starting at the colour Red on their screen for some time now. Although the market appears to be in doldrums owing to a whole host of global problems the start today will be in the green. There could be some cooling later on though after FIIs turned out to be big sellers on Thursday. The latest RBI hike, sticky inflation and relentless political drama in New Delhi might weigh on the sentiment as well.

Base metals register good gains


Copper rises for second straight day

Copper prices ended substantially higher for second straight day at Comex on Thursday, 17 March 2011. Prices had climbed up for the first time in six days yesterday on expectation that reconstruction needs after Japan's largest quake on record will boost demand in three to six months. Prices had dropped before that as US and world stock markets crashed considerably after fearing its worst nuclear catastrophe since Chernobyl nearly 25 years ago.

Mixed finish for precious metals


Gold rises but silver slips

Precious metal prices witnessed mixed finish on Thursday, 17 March 2011 at Comex. Gold prices went up but silver closed lower despite opening the day in the black. Weak dollar and inflation data supported gold prices.

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. But bullion metals have registered increase in prices despite strong dollar in recent times and vice versa.


Crude shoots up


Natural gas also witnesses sharp rise

Oil prices shot up on Thursday, 17 March 2011 at Nymex. Prices rose in tandem with US stocks and riding on the back of economic data and weak dollar.

On Thursday, crude oil futures for light sweet crude for April delivery closed higher by $2.92 (3%) at $100.89/barrel. Last week, prices closed lower by 3.1%.
