Morning Bells (11 Jan 13)

Good Morning Friends.

A wrong decision cans double the experience and correct decision cans double the confidence… so don’t worry in either case.

Since past 3 days market is behaving in same manner, opening on positive note and then losing steam. Soon after good opening selling pressure witnessed in Capital Goods and Power stocks.

It seems major Indian indices are struggling to get a clear direction after unsuccessful attempts to surpass the 6,050 level. Profit booking seen in High-beta sectors like metals and mid-caps. So may be market can struggle and trend between 5,900-6,050 few more days. Infact Govt’s decision to hike railway fares which will help in achieving fiscal consolidation, failed to enthuse investors sentiment.

Now all eyes are on Infy Quarterly numbers & IIP No.s, though most of negative is already priced in so even any small surprise can be cheered by the market.

Gainers - ONGC, Tata Motors, ICICI Bank, SBI, ITC, Coal India are among gainers in Sensex and Nifty.

Losers - RIL, Infosys, TCS , Wipro, NTPC, HDFC, Tata Steel, Hero MotoCorp, Dr Reddys Lab, Bajaj Auto, Hindalco Inds, Mahindra & Mahindra , Sun Pharma, Bharti Airtel, BHEL, are among losers in Sensex and Nifty.

Sectoral – Auto, Bankex, PSU and Oil and Gas indices are the gainers while Consumer Durables, Metal,  IT, Bankex, Metal, Healthcare, Power, Realty, Capital Goods indices are the losers.

On domestic front –

The government today approved a proposal to inject Rs 125.17bn in public sector banks. Finance Minister P Chidambaram said about 9-10 public sector banks will benefit from the capital infusion programme.

Cabinet has cleared 10% divestment in Engineers India Ltd.

Cabinet Committee on Investment will consider clearing 47 oil & gas blocks, including Reliance Industries' producing KG-D6 gas fields, according to reports

On global front - China released better-than-expected trade data.

Citigroup downgrades India to "underweight" from "neutral", as part of its emerging markets review, saying a rebound in economic growth, corporate risk appetite and the investment cycle may not be as strong as current expectations.

Citigroup adds the "ongoing political battles and the upcoming 2014 elections may make this year noisy."

MARKET OUTLOOK –

As told market seems fatigue and now badly need a trigger for either direction, yes probably to move up. Today is the day of Infy & IIP. IIP wouldn’t be good and is factored, same way Infy result seems a bit down and already factored in, so if Infy surprise with its outlook then will be cheered by market.

Trend is still buy on dips with a bit cautious approach and till 5915 is safe. Next trigger RBI policy on 29 Jan. In between triggers could be announcement on Diesel price hike, and some more triggers would be announcement of good quarterly nos from 2-3 good high beta.

The INDIA VIX on NSE was down 0.38% and ended at 13.27 against 13.32 and FNO PCR is 0.94 against previous close 0.85.

Indian Rupee gained further and closed at 54.56/57 than its previous close 54.75/76.

S&P 500 (US) was trading at 1466.64 up 5.62 then its previous close at the time of writing M Bells.

NIFTY OUTLOOK –

Nifty is just like Nov 12 to till end of Dec 12 when it got stuck in a narrow range, after good rally on start of series now it stuck in a range and finding hard to move above its physiological level of 6000 mark, so till its not sustain that level confidently it remain subdued as I see further buying momentum come only above 6,025 level and may trade within 6,080-5,950 range.

Its also not ruled out that Nifty is consolidating nicely, no surprise if we see 6100-6150 levels in this series in coming days. But don’t expect any big move from here, trend is up but not on fundamental basis.

Nifty is in range of 5835-5885-5990-6040-6090 for current & next week.

Resistance – 6000 – 6031 – 6057 and Support – 5942 – 5915 -5884

FII bought 2045 contracts in Index Futures worth Rs. 54.39 Cr. with OI increasing 15,325 contracts, indicating FII booked shorts.

Opening seems flat and may be first half remain subdued.

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.)

Suzlon Energy –

The Kutch wind park, being developed by the Suzlon Group has crossed 1,000 MW (1 GW) of installed capacity.

ICICI Bank –

Lanco Infratech Limited has clarified that ICICI Bank has no contractual relationship with Perdaman.

IT Sector –

Slower growth in discretionary spending and delays in decision making of clients may continue to hurt Indian IT companies' revenue growth in the December quarter. Traditionally, the October-December quarter is a weak quarter for IT companies as the number of working days is lesser compared to other quarters due to the holiday season at the client locations.

Infy –

Infosys is planning to focus more on deals from corporations rather than government, which contributes about 90% to the company's revenue, according to reports.

Tata Motors –

CLSA upgraded the stock to "buy" from "outperform"  and Credit Suisse upped its rating to "outperform," citing strong growth prospects for Jaguar Land Rover, driven by the new Range Rover and Chinese demand. TM rose 4% on the news and can move further with support of market.
