Bulls continue their march
Though the markets seem to be groping for direction and hence lacklustre this week, the bulls continued to surge ahead—fifth week straight—on continuing post-budget rally. Strong index of industrial production (IIP) readings for January (at 16.7%) and continuous buying in information technology, TECk and banking stocks helped the cause. In the process, the Sensex and the Nifty crossed important levels of 17000 and 5100 respectively. The BSE benchmark added 172 points (1.01%) and the NSE bellwether 48 points (0.95%) to their kitty in the week.
On sector front, last week’s top counters were this week’s top losers. BSE Realty and BSE Metal that posted gains of 6.91% and 7.06% last week slid the most and posted losses of 1.64% and 2.09% respectively this week. This week’s toppers were information technology and banking counters, which were up by 2.10% and 1.39% respectively.
In the coming weeks, the market may focus on advance tax payment of India Inc, which will hint towards their fourth quarter earnings and the inflation reading for February (due on March 15, 2010). On the international front, the meeting of Eurozone and European Union’s finance ministers on March 15-16 to decide on Greece government’s plan to reduce the fiscal deficit among others will have an important bearing.

The key benchmark indices recovered from the day's lows and closed flat after moving between the positive and negative terrain throughout the day. Higher European stocks helped a late recovery on the domestic bourses. But the market ended off the day's high as strong industrial production data for January 2010 reinforced expectations of a rate hike by the Reserve Bank of India. The Sensex and Nifty today struck their highest level in a month and a half. The BSE 30-share Sensex was down 1.34 points or 0.01%, off close to 75 points from the day's high and up close to 40 points from the day's low.

Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee said economic growth is not merely government expenditure driven and that he is confident of maintaining domestic savings rate at 36% of GDP in the year ending March 2011.

Industrial output rose a robust 16.7% in January 2010 from a year earlier, slightly stronger than market expectations, aided by stimulus measures that boosted domestic demand, data released by the government today showed. Manufacturing output jumped 17.9%. The government revised upwards industrial production growth for December 2009 to a record level of 17.6% from earlier 16.8%
Mukherjee said he hoped the growth momentum in industrial output would continue. India is well-set to go back to 8.5% growth in the next fiscal year, Deputy chairman of the Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia said on Friday. He also said he expects foreign fund inflows to continue to be good. India's economy could expand over 8.5% in the March quarter, the finance ministry's chief economic adviser Kaushik Basu said on Friday.
Food prices moderated slightly while fuel price inflation accelerated in late February adding pressure on the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to raise rates at its April policy review. The wholesale price inflation (WPI) was at 8.56% in January, just above the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) end-March projection of 8.5%.
The food price index rose 17.81% in the 12 months to 27 February 2010, marginally lower than an annual rise of 17.87% in the previous week. The recent government decision to raise fuel prices has also stoked inflation. The fuel price index rose 11.38% in the 12 months to 27 February 2010, shooting up from an annual rise of 9.59% in the previous week.
A rate hike before the next scheduled policy review in April 2010 is, however, unlikely after RBI deputy governor Subir Gokarn recently said it would be premature to take any mid-term policy action. Market men see a 25 basis points hike in the repo and reverse repo rate each by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) at the April-2010 policy review. Higher interest rates may impact corporate and consumer confidence.
Meanwhile, policymakers including the deputy chairman of the planning commission have said earlier this week that food prices will moderate over the next few months. Basu said on Friday said the government needs to improve its food grain management system and modify the way it releases grain stocks

The Finance Minister has assumed a modest GDP of about 8% and inflation of about 4.5% for 2010-2011.
Investors will eye figures of advance tax payment by top Indian firms which will give an indication of fourth quarter March 2010 earnings. The fourth and the last installment of advance tax is due on 15 March 2010.
Going ahead, the key triggers for the stock market are structural reforms such as decontrol of petrol and diesel prices, targeting of food subsidies, and financial sector reforms such as increase in foreign direct investment in insurance sector.
