Market falls for the week


The market edged lower last week as concerns about potential losses of corporate India on forex derivatives resurfaced after the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) asked companies to disclose losses on a mark-to-market basis incurred on derivatives trades from the current financial year onwards (year ending March 2008), as a precursor to making a new accounting standard -- the AS-30 -- mandatory from 1 April 2011. This may hit Q4 March 2008 and FY 2008 (year ending March 2008) bottom line of Indian firms.

Some arbitrageurs and jobbers stayed away from the market on 1 April 2008 protesting change in tax treatment of the Securities Transaction Tax (STT) that came into force from that day. The protest led to low volumes, which saw share prices swing wildly on the first day of the new financial year FY 2009 (year ending March 2009).

India's wholesale price index (WPI) rose 7% in the 12 months to 22 March 2008, accelerating from the previous week's rise of 6.68%. The rate is the highest since 4 December 2004.

The 30-share BSE Sensex fell 1,028.17 points or 6.28% at 15,343.12 in the week ended 4 April 2008. The S&P CNX Nifty shed 295 points or 5.96% to 4647 in the week.

The BSE Mid-Cap index outperformed the Sensex, falling 259.94 points or 3.99% to 6,262.85. The BSE Small-Cap index, too, outperformed the Sensex, falling 186.99 points or 2.37% to 7,714.99.

Indian companies are sitting on potential losses on account of the forex derivative transactions they undertook last year. A steep decline in the value of the US dollar against the Japanese Yen and the Swiss Franc has hit Indian corporates which have used these two currencies (Yen and Franc) extensively to swap their rupee denominated debt.

Meanwhile, the change in tax treatment of securities transaction tax (STT) is seen raising cost for arbitrageurs, which in turn may result in fall in arbitrage volumes. STT will now be treated like any other deductible expenditure against business income of the assesses. This is against the earlier practice of 100% rebate for STT paid against the tax liability for the year.

Sustained selling pressure in blue chips spooked the bourses on Monday, 31 March 2008. The 30-share BSE Sensex plunged 726.85 points or 4.44% at 15,644.44. The broader based S&P CNX Nifty plunged 207.50 points or 4.20% at 4,734.50.

On 1 April 2008, after opening on a firm note, market lost ground by early afternoon trade only to recover in mid-afternoon, led by recovery in index heavyweights Reliance Industries (RIL) and ICICI Bank. The 30-share BSE Sensex was down 17.82 points or 0.11% at 15,626.62. The broader based S&P CNX Nifty rose 5.05 points or 0.11% at 4,739.55.

On 2 April 2008, an early surge on the bourses proved short-lived as index heavyweights Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank and L&T, gave up initial gains. The Sensex, which had surged past 16,000 mark in early trade, fell below that level later. The Sensex settled 123.78 points or 0.79% higher at 15,750.40. The broader based S&P CNX Nifty was up 14.65 points or 0.31% at 4,754.20.

On 3 April 2008, the key benchmark indices ended higher as IT stocks rallied on hopes a US recession might not be deep as feared. The Sensex settled 82.15 points or 0.52% higher at 15,832.55. The broader based S&P CNX Nifty rose 17.4 points or 0.37% at 4771.60.

On 4 April 2008, data showing a surge in inflation to a three-year high pulled the market down. The 30-share BSE Sensex slipped 489.43 points or 3.09% at 15,343.12. The broader based S&P CNX Nifty fell 124.6 points or 2.61% at 4647.

India’s largest electrical equipments maker by sales Bharat Heavy Electricals slipped 21.90% to Rs 1634.10 after global investment firm JPMorgan Chase & Company reduced its share price estimate for the company to Rs 2,200 a share from Rs 2,850 earlier.

Markets slump on inflation numbers


The markets ended down on Friday with the Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark Sensex dropping nearly 489 points as the investor sentiments were dampened by fears of a hike in interest rates, following ballooning of inflation.

The three-day long upward march was snapped as the Sensex declined 489.43 points at 15,343.12 on aggressive selling by funds in stocks of capital goods, realty, power, metal, auto, refiners and banking sectors.

The key-index touched the day`s high of 15,896.09 and a low of 15,303.04 points.

The wide-based national stock exchange index nifty dropped by 124.60 points at 4647.00, after touching a high of 4791.70 and a low of 4632.70 points.

HDFC led the drop among lenders on speculation of higher interest costs would stem loan demand. Bharat Heavy Electricals, the nation`s biggest power equipment maker, slumped to a seven-month low after the company said profit growth may slow on higher material costs.

Record raw-material prices has jacked up inflation, prompting the government to impose price controls and curb exports of essential commodities.

Capital goods sector index suffered the most by dropping 594.38 points at 12,620.35 followed by oil and gas by 249.24 points at 10,282.64. Bank index by 230.66 points at 7589.96, realty index by 176.36 points at 7346.96, metal index by 148.41 at 13,440.35 and PSU index by 171.73 points at 7175.05.

As the selling pressure spread over a wide-front, SmallCap index lost 125.30 points at 7715.99 and MidCap index by 124.38 points at 6262.95.

Panic selling halts resurgence


Panic selling in noon trades triggered a major correction, after the market had witnessed gains of over 60 points in early trades. Continuing with buoyancy, the Sensex resumed with a huge positive gap of 63 points at 15,896. While the market stood firm thereafter, a sudden spurt in selling activity particularly in capital goods, banking, power and technology sectors dragged the index below 15,400 level to the day's low of 15,303. The Sensex finally wrapped the session with losses of 3.06% or 484 points at 15,349, while the Nifty dropped 2.68% or 125 points to close at 4,647.

Although the market fell sharply, market breadth was extremely negative. Of the 2,695 stocks traded on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), 1,823 stocks declined, 809 stocks advanced and 63 stocks ended unchanged. All the indices ended at lower levels.
