The Indian market today is likely to have a negative opening, as the cues from the global markets are not in favor. On Friday, the Indian market closed on a strong note led by heavy buying across all the index heavyweights.

The BSE Sensex closed higher by 341.69 points at 20,686.39 and NSE Nifty closed up by 95.75 points at 6,274.30. We expect that the market may remain cautious during the trading session.

Morning blues after a weak end!


Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.”

After new all-time peaks last week, the main indices could face resistance at today. Wall Street tumbled on Friday after weaker-than-expected jobs data sparked renewed concerns over a possible recession in the US. That triggered a world-wide sell-off and would most certainly hurt sentiment here as well, at least at the start of trading. But, with inflows from FIIs and Mutual Funds holding firm there is a chance of a rebound later in the day or tomorrow. The biggest trigger for India will be the quarterly results that will start kicking in from this week. IT shares will of course be the focus of attention amid a sharp fall in the Nasdaq on Friday and anxiety over their Q3 earnings and outlook.

Apart from the results, one will have to watch out for three other big events that will have a major bearing on the sentiment - the Fed announcement on Jan. 31, RBI's quarterly review and the Union Budget. Ideally speaking, the Indian economy should not be that affected by a recession in the US, though some export-driven sectors may take a hit. If rates fall further in the US, the overseas inflows into Indian stocks should increase further. Expect more volatility with a positive bias. Persistent bad news from the US and further declines on Wall Street could prove to be a potential party pooper for the Indian bulls.

The bleak jobs report reinforced a growing view on Wall Street that the US economy had slowed substantially and could slip into a recession following the housing sector meltdown and the stress in the credit markets.

At the same time, it raised hopes that the Federal Reserve this month might cut rates aggressively to prevent the impending recession. The FOMC, the Fed's policy panel, is holding a two-day meeting on January 29-30.

According to interest rate futures, traders and investors were pricing in a 68% chance that the Fed would cut rates by a half percentage point at its Jan. 31 meeting, up from 34%. The odds of a quarter point cut slipped to 32% from 66%.

Harvard University economist Martin Feldstein, head of the group that dates economic cycles in the US, says that the odds of a recession are more than 50% after a report showing the unemployment rate jumped.

This now pushes it up a bit above that."

Treasury prices rose, as investors sought safety in the relatively less risky government debt. The rise lowered the yield on the 10-year note to 3.84% from 3.89% late on Thursday. In currency trading, the dollar slipped versus the yen and the euro.

Global weakness to dampen sentiment

It was a stellar session as sustained buying in the frontline stocks lifted the benchmark Sensex to hit all time high on Friday. The Capital Good, Banking and the Oil & Gas stocks led the rally. However, on the other side the IT, pharma and the Small-Cap stocks were the major laggards.

Better than expected Inflation figures coupled with positive cues form the Asian and the European markets kept the sentiments bullish. India Inflation was at 3.50% in the week ended Dec 22 against expectation of 3.43%. Finally, 30-share Sensex closed at 20,686 gaining 341 points and Nifty ended at 6,274 up 95 points.

Crude slips on recession fears


Weak job data rekindle recession fears

Crude prices dropped more than $1 on Friday, 4 January, 2008 after a US report came up with much below-expected job data. The same raised concern of a recession that would curb energy demand.

Crude had ended FY 2007 substantially higher by $35 or 57%. It was crude’s biggest yearly gain in five years.

Crude-oil futures for light sweet crude for February delivery closed at $97.91/barrel (lower by $1.27/barrel or 1.3%) on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier, during the trading hours, crude oil for February delivery fell to almost $97.1. At this close, prices ended $2 higher for the week.

As per Labor Department, U.S nonfarm payrolls rose by a seasonally adjusted 18,000 in December. It was the weakest growth seen since August 2003.

In the currency market, the dollar fell to a one-month low against the euro on speculation the Federal Reserve will cut borrowing costs by a half percentage point to bolster the economy.

Brent crude oil for February settlement on Friday fell 81 cents to $96.79 on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. The London benchmark rose 54% in FY 2007, the most since 1999 when prices more than doubled.

Natural gas ends 5% higher for the week

Natural gas in New York advanced on forecasts that colder weather in some regions will increase demand to heat homes and businesses. Gas for February delivery rose 16.7 cents (2.2%) to settle at $7.841 per million British thermal units. It ended 4.8% higher this week. Prices are 27% higher on a yearly basis.

On Friday, the Energy department reported that natural gas supplies fell 87 billion cubic feet to 2.92 trillion cubic feet in the week ended 28 December.

Against this backdrop, February reformulated gasoline lost 3.04 cents to $2.511 a gallon and February heating oil fell 3.36 cents to $2.6855 a gallon.

At the MCX, crude oil for January delivery closed at Rs 3,836/barrel, lower by Rs 64 (1.6%) against previous day’s close. Natural gas for December delivery closed at Rs 306.3/mmtbu, higher by Rs0.7/mmtbu (0.23%).

Members of the OPEC left production targets unchanged at the 5 December meeting in Abu Dhabi. The group, which produces 40% of the world's oil, will review output at a 1 February, 2008 meeting in Vienna.

As per EIA, global oil markets will likely remain tight through 2008 and monthly average oil prices are expected to near $85 per barrel over the next year. The IEA, an adviser to 27 nations, said global demand in 2008 will rise 2.5% to 87.8 million barrels a day.

A disastrous week for US Market


Stocks suffer heavy loss for the week as job report disappoints and Intel is downgraded

New year did not take off very smoothly for investors in US Market. Stocks suffered heavy losses during the week when economic reports dominated. They were mixed in nature. Stocks began the week on an extremely shaky note and stocks plunged on first day of the week, which was also the last trading day of FY 2007. But Friday’s (4 January, 2008) weak job report from the Labor Department took maximum steam out of the market and market suffered huge losses for the week ending on Friday, 4 January, 2008.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 565 points for the week. Tech - heavy Nasdaq lost 170 points. S&P 500 lost 67 points.

FY 2007’s star performer, Technology sector bled during the whole week. Percentage wise Nasdaq suffered the maximum losses.

After returning from the New Year break on Wednesday, 2 January, 2008, stocks were pressured due to a surprise contraction in manufacturing activity and surging oil prices, which hit $100 per barrel. Dow ended the day with a huge loss of 220 points. Nasdaq too shed 42 points.

The December Institute of Supply Management (ISM) Index, a national purchasing manager survey, disappointingly dropped to 47.7, compared to November's reading of 50.8. The number also came in short of the consensus estimate of 50.5, and is the lowest level seen since April 2003. Because the number is below 50, it indicated a contraction in manufacturing.

Due to some mildly positive initial claims and factory orders data, the market managed to end flat but mixed on Thursday, 3 January, 2008 with Dow registering a mere gain of 12 points. Nasdaq, however ended in the red.

The Department of Commerce reported that November factory orders rose by 1.5%. Market expected orders to rise by 1%. Also, the Labor Department showed that new claims for unemployment for the week ended 29 December fell to 336,000, from 357,000 in the previous week.

On Friday, 4 January, 2008, Labor Department reported that nonfarm payrolls rose by just 18,000 positions in December, after an upwardly revised 115,000 gain in November. At the same time, the unemployment rate bumped up to 5% from 4.7%. Market had been expecting a 70,000 gain in nonfarm payrolls and a 4.8% unemployment rate.

Dow and Nasdaq ended the day with a huge loss of 256 points and 98 points respectively. A downgrade of Intel by JP Morgan weighed heavily on the technology sector.

Among some positive stories for the week, the minutes from the Federal Reserve's 11 December meeting were released and the same suggested that the central bank sees more interest-rate cuts ahead.

In the automobile sector, Ford, Toyota and General Motors reported lower December sales. Chrysler and Honda Motor reported small gains.

Executive Summary

For the week, indices registered substantial losses. DJIx and S&P 500 closed down by 4.4% and 4.6% respectively. Technology sector was the most affected and Nasdaq went down by 6.3%. Economic reports dominated the week. But Friday’s job report affected the market most.

For the year, Dow, Nasdaq and S&P 500 are down by 3.5%, 5.6% and 3.9% respectively. A downgrade of Intel by JP Morgan weighed heavily on Nasdaq for the week.

It’s tough to say what the primary market drivers of FY 2008 will be. But it is for certain that the US stock market will continue to face a slew of threats - more adjustable mortgage resets, a still tight credit market and the possibility of accelerating inflation.

Market outlook remains positive


The target projection for Nifty is about 6550 around the Union Budget.
The market celebrated the new year by spurting to a new high despite a spike in crude prices and the continuing subprime crisis. The Nifty ended at 6274 after rising to touch 6300.
That was a gain of 3.19 per cent. The Sensex hit 20763 before easing down to close at 20686 for a gain of 2.37 per cent. The Defty underlined the dollar's importance by rising 3.46 per cent. The FIIs and mutuals were both net buyers.
Breadth was good throughout the week and volumes recovered strongly in the new year. The Nifty Junior continued to outperform its elder brother by rising a whopping 5.7 per cent.
The Midcaps was up 6.37 despite a sell off on Friday. The BSE 500 was ahead by 4.15 per cent – action was clearly concentrated in the more liquid stocks.
Outlook: The pattern looks very good with an apparent high-volume breakout from a very promising formation. The target projection would be about 6550 in a timeframe of about 6-8 weeks – that is, around the Budget.
Rationale: Between early November and last week, the Nifty and Sensex performed inverted head and shoulder (H&S) formations and completed breakouts on volume expansion.
The breakout was backed by breadth and there was apparent consolidation. The neckline of the reverse H&S would be around 6185 and that should act as a support on the next short-term correction. Target projections with reverse H&S generally tend to be reliable.
Counter-view: Inverted H&S failure occurs if there is a dip below the neckline. A couple of closes below 6150 would suggest the formation has failed. As of now, this appears unlikely due to the supporting volume and breadth.
Bulls & bears: Despite the strong breadth, there were few clearly positive sectorial trends. Realty stocks such as DLF and Parasvnath were outperformers.
RIL and RPL did well as did RNRL, RPL and REL. Otherwise winners were scattered and included Aban, Aditya Birla Nuvo, Adlabs, Axis Bank, Bombay Dyeing, Cairn, GTL, Hind Unilever, NDTV, ONGC, and Tata Power.
The IT sector continued to log losses with all the majors down. Cement also saw a bearish trend. There were mixed trends in banking where Allahabad Bank, Corporation Bank and J&K Bank were down.
Most auto stocks were down with Maruti and Mahindra losing a lot of ground and Tata Motors also seeing a sell-off. Essar Oil lost ground on large scale profit-booking that may spell the end of a spectacular bull run.
MICRO TECHNICALS
ADLABS
Current Price: 1853
Target Price: NA

The stock went through the roof on Friday with a massive volume expansion backing a move from 1575 (open) to a high of 1880 and a close at 1853. It's impossible to project a target with this move. Keep a stop at 1825 and go long. Move the stop up by 25 for every 25 unit move.
DLF
Current Price: 1112
Target Price: 1225

The stock has just made a small breakout with a little volume expansion. It has a potential target in the 1250 range but the relatively light volumes make that difficult to achieve. Keep a stop at 1100 and go long. Book profits around 1225.
RNRL
Current Price: 208.8
Target Price: NA

The stock has risen to yet another all time high on stable, high volumes. It is difficult to compute a target because the breakout has been quite steep and the past three sessions have established trendline with a 65 degree slope. Keep a trailing stop at 200, go long and move the stop up by 10 for every 10-unit move.
TATA POWER
Current Price: 1629
Target Price: 1700

The stock has made a sharp upwards move without the benefit of a volume expansion. It has a apparent target of 1750 but the lack of volumes makes it more likely that the move will peter out at about the 1700 level. Keep a stop at 1610 and go long.
