Market may gain on firm Asian stocks;Q4 GDP data in focus


The market may edge higher tracking firm Asian stocks. Trading of S&P CNX Nifty futures on the Singapore stock exchange indicates a gain of 16 points at the opening bell. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) bought shares worth Rs 253.48 crore and domestic funds sold shares worth Rs 50.39 crore on Monday, 30 May 2011, as per provisional figures released by the stock exchanges.

The government unveils Q4 March 2011 GDP data today, 31 May 2011. The data could provide cues on the likely monetary policy stance of the central bank at the mid-June 2011 review. The recent data showing gain in food prices in mid-May 2011 will increase pressure on the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to raise policy rates when it undertakes mid-quarter monetary policy review on 16 June 2011.

Gap-up opening likely; Quarterly GDP data eyed


Markets may begin the last session of the month in the green following positive Asian indices. India’s fourth quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) numbers will be released today.

Sensex ends flat amid lackluster session


The Indian stock markets started off the week on a quite note. It was another day of lackluster trading; the NSE Nifty was stuck in a 20 points narrow trading range and was unable to find any specific direction throughout the day ahead of the quarterly GDP numbers to be announced tomorrow.

Market sentiment got a boost after reports stated that monsoon hit Kerala two days ahead of schedule. Besides the GDP data, monthly auto sales, manufacturing PMI and exports figures during the course of the week also would play important market determinants.

GDP report to show direction


The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. - Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Earnings season has come and gone. The less said the better. Market players will now focus on economic data and its impact on the RBI’s policy stance. In that context, the Q4 and FY11 GDP report due out today will be an important event. Consensus expectation is for 8.2% expansion in Q4 GDP. The Government has estimated a GDP growth of 8.6% for FY11.
