Morning Bells (15 Feb 13)

Good Morning Friends.

A mistake which is not corrected immediately is another mistake. Good Morning.

It is a bit surprising that despite the good news flow today at least with the ease in inflation rate, the market failed to rise. The market returned to its trading range of 5,800- 6,000 after trading briefly above 6,000 for a few trading sessions. Perhaps the only reason that can be attributed is the mild slowdown in FII inflows dampening the market already kept in check by domestic institutional selling.

The Indian markets extended losses for second consecutive trading session on Thursday amid heavy selling in the Capital Goods, Oil & Gas, Auto, Power and the Realty sectors. The Mid-Cap and the Small-Cap stocks also continued to get hammered across the board losing 1.4% and 1.8% respectively.

Better than expected January inflation data was also unable to lift the sentiment on Dalal Street. The annual rate of inflation, based on monthly WPI, stood at 6.62% (Provisional) for the month of January, 2013 (over January, 2012) as compared to 7.18% (Provisional) for the previous month and 7.23% during the corresponding month of the previous year.

On the other hand, the CNX IT index extended gains for the second consecutive trading session after the industry body Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) forecasted strong growth for the sector in 2013-14 on Tuesday. Nasscom predicted that Indian IT industry is set to grow 12-14% to US$87bn in the period.

Infosys, TCS, Rolta, Polaris, and KPIT were among the top performers while shares of Siemens and Wipro ended lower by 5% and 3.5% respectively after exclusion from NSE Nifty index.

The two scrips which replaced Siemens and Wipro was the state run mining corporation NDMC and Raheja group promoted IndusInd bank. NDMC ended gained 1% while IndusInd bank ended almost unchanged.

Gainers – Infosys, TCS,  Tata Power, Tata Steel, HDFC Bank, HUL, Sun Pharma, ITC, HDFC, NTPC and M&M were among gainers in Sensex and Nifty.

Losers - RIL, Wipro, Hero MotoCorp, ONGC, Bajaj Auto, Bharti Airtel, ICICI Bank, Dr Reddys Lab, Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki, Sterlite Inds and SBI were the major losers in Sensex and Nifty.

On Domestic Front –

1.

Oil companies is planning to raise petrol price by Rs 1 per litre and diesel by 50 paise a litre if they get the informal nod of oil minister Veerappa Moily, according to reports.

Reports stated that  Companies are free to charge market rates for petrol and raise diesel prices between 40 and 50 paise every month till it is aligned with global rates.

Companies are suffering a revenue loss of more than Rs 1 a litre on petrol and more than Rs 10 on a litre of diesel because of northward movement of global crude oil prices.

Indian Oil Chairman RS Butola reported that state oil marketing companies would "review" auto fuel rates this week. "

2.

Exports growth after a gap of eight months returned to positive territory and grew by 0.8 per cent in January 2013. However, imports clocked a growth of 6.1 per cent and reached an all-time high of US$45.6bn in January 2013 due to higher oil import bill. As a consequence, India’s trade deficit, after narrowing to US$17.7bn in December 2012, again swelled to US$20.0 bn in January 2013, an increase of 13.8% on y-o-y basis.

On Global front –

FII inflow reduced and market participant expecting they will back before budget.

=====================  MARKET OUTLOOK  =====================

As suggested short term trend is down. Now one can expect some fireworks with the Budget coming up towards the end of the month that may offer opportunities for the market to breakout of this range hopefully on the upside. But if the Budget proposals are not up to the market’s expectation, then there could be a breakdown as well. So probably that will be time when market will come out from narrow trading range to either side.

Regarding downward journey, Nifty will find good support nearby 5840 – 5820 – 5780, so one can also expect firm sentiment next ahead of budget.

Well, as told y’day Nifty taken support around 5900 mark and today registered modest gains. Still Nifty is in the middle of range i.e. Nifty will find support around 5880 and will face resistance around 5950 and Nifty is just closed @5922, so still there’s no clarity but yes I can say market can move further as it has defended not technical but physiological mark 5900.

Once again if there’s dip till 5840 mark then for cash segment this downside can be used to buy, people who have missed the rally in 2012 can join the party mean one can watch 2 levels, 5840 & 5780-5800-5820, these tri levels can be watched carefully and one can initiate fresh longs in this range, as all seems good support and hopefully market can bottom out from here. They can keep SL 5870 itself.

The INDIA VIX on NSE was down 0.33% and ended at 15.09 against previous close of 15.31.

FNO PCR is 0.87 against previous close 0.97.

Indian Rupee – weakened further against USD and closed 10 paisa lower and was trading at 53.92 against its previous close of 53.82.

S&P 500 (US) was trading at 1520.33 up 0.90 then its previous close at the time of writing M Bells.

=======================  NIFTY OUTLOOK  ========================

Technically, Nifty faced stiff resistance at the 50 DMA which was placed at 5960 mark. The near term support for the index is seen at the 5820 mark, which is also the 100 DMA. On the upside the 50 DMA could emerge as strong resistance zone near 5960 levels.

Nifty is in range of 5780 – 5820 (100 DMA) - 5840 - 5900-5950-6040-6150-6190 for current series.

Resistance – 5985 – 5962 – 5929 and Support – 5874 – 5851 - 5818

Opening – Again seems flat and under pressure.
