Sensex manages slim gains...Autos, FMCG slip


The first trading session on Dalal Street finished on a positive note, kicking off the new year in green territory after clocking hefty losses last year. The Indian markets opened on a rather subdued note before climbing to a day's high in early morning trade. However, they retreated to day's low in early afternoon before recovering again, tracking positive cues from the European markets. One should bear in mind the fact that the advance today came on light trading volumes as many participants were enjoying extended new year holidays. The depth was also missing due to lower participation in the equity markets.

Markets end first trading day of 2012 with modest gains


The Indian markets broke four-day losing run and closed the trade in the positive terrain. The Sensex rose by 63 points and the Nifty surged by 12 points

Headlines for the day:

Factory activity hits six-month high

November exports rise 3.9%

Bajaj Auto tumbles post December auto sales numbers

Hindalco slips 4% after court dismisses plea against tax dept

Market snaps four-day losing streak; two- wheeler makers skid


Data showing a sharp improvement in manufacturing activity in December 2011 and comments by Reserve Bank of India governor that the central bank is likely to begin easing monetary policy to address concerns about economic growth, helped Indian stocks register gains on the first trading session of the New Year. The government's decision to allow qualified foreign investors to invest directly in local equities and gains in European shares underpinned sentiment as the market snapped a four-day losing streak. The BSE Sensex rose 63 points or 0.41%, up close to 160 points from the day's low and off about 25 points from the day's high. The market breadth turned positive from negative in late trade.

Markets likely to start subdued


It is expected to be a quiet start on the first trading session of the year 2012 due to lack of global cues. Focus will be on the domestic cues.

Headlines for the day:

Tata Motors sales up 22% in December 2011

Coal India may form JV to buy assets in South Africa

Elder Pharma eyes 20% jump in revenues in current fiscal

FDI inflows up 36% at $24 bn in Jan-Oct

PTC India in talks with sovereign wealth fund for PE venture

Market may open slightly higher


Trading of S&P CNX Nifty futures on the Singapore stock exchange indicates a gain of 10 points at the opening bell. The government's decision to allow qualified foreign investors (QFIs) to directly invest in the Indian equity market may help boost market sentiment.

Starting off the New Year on a liberalisation note, the government on 1 January 2012 announced its decision to allow Qualified Foreign Investors (QFIs) to directly invest in the Indian equity market from 15 January 2012. The move comes against the backdrop of significant foreign capital outflows from the domestic equity market in recent times, which has resulted in rupee volatility. A QFI is an individual, group or association resident in a foreign country that is compliant with Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards. QFIs do not include FIIs/sub accounts. In August last year, the government allowed foreign investors to directly invest up to $13 billion in equity and debt schemes of mutual funds.

Yellow metal ends its week long losing streak


Gold gains 10% for the year while silver sheds 11%

Precious metal prices ended higher on Friday, 30 December 2011 at Comex. Gold ended its six session losing streak. The rally was likely a combination of short covering and a little bargain hunting. But precious metals registered losses on a weekly basis. With Friday's close, bullions ended mixed for the year.

Gold for February delivery ended higher by $25.9 or 1.7%, to end at $1,566.8 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange on Friday. Prices shed 2.4% during the week. For the year, gold rose 10%. Gold lost 3.4% on a quarterly basis.

Crude prices slip on the last day of the year


Crude gains more than 8% on a yearly basis

Crude prices ended lower on Friday, 30 December 2011 at Nymex. Tensions in the Middle East, mainly Iran and latest developments at Europe impacted prices. Traders kept an eye on Iran where state news agency were saying that oil flow will stop from Strait of Hormuz if its sanction issues by European Union over nuclear programme continued. But crude registered modest yearly gains.

Light and sweet crude for February delivery fell $0.82 (0.8%) to $98.83 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange on Friday. For the year, crude futures gained 8.2% after climbing 25% for the quarter. They were trading below $80 at the end of September and closed out 2010 at $91.38 a barrel.
