Morning Bells (13 Dec 12)

Good Morning Friends.

There’s no definition of good day or bad day, its all depend on you and your thoughts that either you RULE the day or DAY rules you.

So slowly-slowly trend is changing and circumstances are also supporting. Today IIP no.s came with surprising and most of us would have thought that market should cheer but happened just reverse.  Because due to Nov. as festive month most of expert were expecting it to be at comfortable level and here’s the catch, comfortable no.s & then everybody assuming Inflation will remain high, gave a thought this will wash out hopes of RBI rate cut.

Secondly there’s decision in US for liquidity easing policy (bond buying), it’s a sensitive matter and investors choose to sit on cash.

Well, market continued to consolidate in a tight trading band and witnessed selling pressure despite better than estimated industrial production data.

The IIP for October had a positive growth rate of 8.2%, compared to a negative growth of 5% for the corresponding month last year. Manufacturing sector's growth rate in October, with a weightage of 75.53%.

RIL, Infosys, TCS, Reliance Infrastructure, Sun Pharma, Bajaj Auto, Hero MotoCorp, Maruti Suzuki, HDFC, Coal India were among gainers whiles Wipro, ONGC, NTPC, Tata Power,  SBI, ICICI Bank, Tata Steel, BHEL , Mahindra & Mahindra, Dr Reddy’s Lab, HUL, Gail India, BPCL, HDFC Bank were among losers in Sensex and Nifty.

So now need to be cautious at this point as investors typically sell stocks to cut their losses at year end.

Wholesale Price Inflation on -  14 Dec 12

MARKET OUTLOOK –

So nothings have changed at the moment as warned in past 2 MB that it seems market have reached some kind of a resistance point and may face choppy sessions for few sessions. Now it seems market is turning to down trend in short term very slowly, so, now the further things will depend on Inflation no.s & RBI policy.

Trading range seems 5800-6000 and the key data point to look out will be the inflation, and chances for that is to remain high, and if it remain high then that will wash out hopes of rate cut, though I have already expressed my view that rate cut is unlikely but yes there could be CRR cut.

So in short – we all need to close our longs on the day of inflation if it remain high to previous month and if it remain below last month then one can hold longs with SL 5785 on Nifty.

Keep a close watch on strong resistance levels of 5,950-5,980, if broken then 6040 would be next strong resistance zone, so any big rally from current levels is unlikely at the moment.

Market sentiment for mid-term uptrend is intact (at least for few more sessions) and participant eagerly waiting for breakout of 6000, but it may not be that much easy.

The INDIA VIX on NSE was down 1% and ended at 14.51 against 14.67 and FNO PCR is up at 0.87.

The rupee remain unchanged and was trading at 54.47 against previous close 54.47 as per NSE data.

S&P 500 (US) were trading at 1437 up 9.87 points at the time of writing Morning Bells.

FII sold 2604 contracts worth Rs. 75.99 Cr. and OI decreased by 15,696 contracts signalling that FII booked profit in shorts and went long in Nifty & Bank Nifty.

NIFTY OUTLOOK –

As expected profit booking seen in Index and main indices. Now investors will keep close eye on Inflation figure on 14^th and then RBI Monetary policy review on 18^th. Parliament session is also there which is ending next week so investor will also eye on some more pending reform bills.

Historical data shows that Dec seems a month for 3%-4% gain, but situation are different a bit from past, so lets see who wins BEARS or BULLS.

Nifty will face resistance at 5925 & 5954 while 5785 is the SL for longs for short term trend.

So for short term view Nifty seems in the range of 5785 – 6000.

Resistance comes to 5925 - 5954 – 6009 – 6053 and Supports comes to 5874 - 5835 – 5810 - 5785.

Opening seems positive. People who have already initiated longs need not to worry at the moment and can keep SL 5835.

STOCK OUTLOOK -

(Stock outlook needs to watch stock movement carefully and then one can bet after having a look, I tried to put related info which will help you in taking positions.)

Banks –

BJP agreed to discuss the Banking Laws (Amendment) bill. Banks are allowed to trade in shares, bonds and currencies but Section 8 of the Banking Regulation Act prohibits banks to trade in commodities. RBI is not comfortable with this new provision by the government in the absence of a clear risk mitigation mechanism and regulatory responsibility. In the original bill banks were not allowed to invest in futures.

Realty, Infra & Power –

Will face some selling pressure in near term, better to book profit at comfortable level.
