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.

Headlines for the day:

Airtel, Vodafone, Idea threaten to exit 3G

Reliance readies big-bang entry into new sectors

Property prices go down across nine cities in September quarter

Kingfisher Airlines needs more funds to stay afloat: Auditor

Bullions gain back the luster they shed prior session

Prices end at almost session highs following inflation fears and weak economic data

Precious metals ended higher on Tuesday, 22 November 2011 at Comex. 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. A generally higher commodity market sector on Tuesday was also bullish for the metals.

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.
