Resuming their descent!

"The gates of Hell are open night and day; smooth the descent, and easy is the way: but, to return, and view the cheerful skies; in this, the task and mighty labor lies." - Virgil.

The cheerful skies are seeing a colour change. After a small breather, world equity markets have resumed their descent. A downward revision in US’ Q3 GDP is adding to the already bleak global backdrop. But, the US indices didn’t witness sharp cuts. They were down marginally. European benchmarks also closed in the red following a spike in Spanish and Belgian bond yields. Meanwhile, the Fed has announced a new set of stress tests for US lenders. Minutes of the last FOMC meeting show that the central bank is mulling inflation targets.

Rally fizzles out; Markets set for a weak opening

Weakness across the globe may pull the markets down in the opening trade. Lingering euro zone debt crisis and concerns about the faltering global economy may weigh on the sentiments.

Bullions ended U.S. day session higher and nearer the daily high on Tuesday due to inflation fears following the day's economic report. Precious metals saw bargain hunting and short covering following the strong selling pressure seen the day before.

Crude ends three day losing streak

Middle East tensions and somber dollar prop up prices

Crude prices ended higher on Tuesday, 22 November at Nymex. Prices rose for the first time in four days following a somber dollar and tension in the Middle East which gave rise to supply concerns. Weaker than expected economic data and recurring euro zone woes put a check to the price rise.

Light and sweet crude for January delivery rose $1.09 (1.1%) to $98.01 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange on Tuesday. The contract rose to a high of $98.7 during intra day trading. Crude prices briefly pared gains earlier on Tuesday, after a disappointing estimate of U.S. third-quarter economic growth. Last week, crude lost 1.6%. For the month of October, oil futures gained 18%. During the third quarter ending in September, crude incurred losses of 17%. It was the worst quarterly performance for crude in almost two years.

Market seen opening lower on weak global cues

The market is geared for a negative start amid weak global cues. Trading of S&P CNX Nifty futures on the Singapore stock exchange indicates a fall of 53.50 points at the opening bell. Asian shares fell on Wednesday, 23 November 2011, after a disappointing manufacturing survey from China and a weaker-than-expected estimate of US economic growth.

The market is likely to remain volatile in the immediate future as traders roll over positions in futures & options (F&O) segment from the near-month November 2011 series to December 2011 series. The near-month November 2011 F&O contracts expire tomorrow, 24 November 2011.
