Oh! What a fantastic day for all and specially for our blog readers who booked handsome profit y’day.

Well, market ended in the green for the second straight trading session on Tuesday. The benchmark indices ended near their day’s high as the NSE Nifty rebounded almost 65 points. The market was stuck in a narrow trading range in the first half; however, a sudden bout of buying in the last hour of trade in scrips across the sector prompted the upmove.  Finallly NSE Nifty closed at 5,939, up 41 points over the previous close. It earlier touched a day’s high of 5,947 and a day’s low of 5883. It opened at 5,900.

Finance minister P Chidambaram has cut its market borrowing by Rs. 120 billion. The move is aim to satisfy the credit ratings agencies that have warned India with a sovereign downgrade if measures are not taken to reduce the fiscal and current account deficits.
“On review of the government of India’s cash position and funding requirement, it has been decided, in consultation with RBI (Reserve Bank of India) to reduce the government market borrowing through dated securities by Rs. 12,000 crore for the current financial year,” the finance ministry said in a statement on Monday. The auction scheduled on Friday was the last one for the current financial year.

BUDGET –

According to various experts market is optimistic about the Budget as of now given the promises made by the government in the last few months, it will be watching the event closely to see if the finance minister will deliver on these commitments.

Deputy Chairman of Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia is expecting a good budget from the Finance Minster.

Speaking on the sidelines of the Abid Hussain Memorial Lecture, Ahluwalia said, “"It's not a good idea to speculate on the budget. I am sure we will get a good budget."               

A huge agenda has been listed for the session including the introduction of 16 new legislations in addition to the 40 legislations that will be put up for consideration as well as passing. These legislations include the big-ticket Insurance Bill, the Pension Bill, the Companies Bill and of course UPA's showpiece, the Food Security Bill, along with the Land Acquisition Bill.

As far as the financial agenda of this session is concerned, the session has the Union Budget on the February 28 in addition to the Railway Budget as well as the economic survey.

MG’s view on Budget -

Most of experts are hoping for their gains i.e. market friendly budget but my sense is that this budget would be more for common man & basically will be focussed on pending reforms, yes as general election is there in 2014 and this would be last budget where Govt. can announce reliefs for common people.

Surprisingly Mid-Caps have fallen 10-40% in last two weeks. (Blue chips are drifting lower but second line shares went down much sharper.) Street has been expecting a lot from the Budget both in terms of policies and reforms and probably India the Budget is overhyped.

On Domestic Front –

The Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram launched the operations of India Infradebt Limited (Infradebt), the first Infrastructure Debt Fund (IDF) under the NBFC structure by handing over the first IDF – NBFC license to Infradebt in presence of the promoters, ICICI Bank, Bank of Baroda, Citibank and LIC.

On Global front –

Many experts believe that its not right time to judge equity market at the moment. They have some thoughts that while many global economies may have averted a default here and a decline there, the crisis is far from over. Don’t judge prematurely!

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

Market broke out from the trading range on account of lack of selling which triggered short covering in the indices. The current up move is likely to intensify further after Nifty takes out the intermediate high of 5969.

The INDIA VIX on NSE was down 3% and ended at 15.81 against previous close of 16.29.

FNO PCR is 0.82 against previous close 0.80.

Indian Rupee –against USD ended almost unchanged and was trading at 54.19 against its previous close of 54.19.

S&P 500 (US) was trading at 1527.67 up 7.88 then its previous close at the time of writing M Bells.

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

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

Resistance – 6028 – 5987 – 5963 and Support – 5899 – 5859 - 5835

Opening – After a good day, now again Nifty can show range bound as bears will try to give an attempt and to restrict Nifty to cross 5970. So start could be a bit positive say around 10+ points.

========================  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.)

Jet Airways -

Jet Airways surged 3.2% after the company announced one of India’s biggest air ticket sale of almost 20lakh seats at fares as low as Rs. 2250 for travel anytime until December 31, 2013. The discounted tickets could be booked until February 24.

The share price has surged after hitting turbulence yesterday, shedding 8% after Etihad Chairman said that the company needs time to evaluate the Jet-Etihad deal in which the Abu-Dhabi based Etihad is mulling to buy a 24% stake in the Indian carrier.

Hotel Leela -

Hotel Leela was up 8.76% after the company sold off its Chennai IT park building for Rs. 1.7bn on Monday to Reliance Industries, the company declared in a BSE filing. The company’s board gave the approval on November 2, 2012 for the sale of the property.

KFA –

Kingfisher Airlines was stuck at 5% upper circuit after the parent United Breweries (Holdings) hiked its loan limit for the airline to Rs 7.5bn from Rs 3bn. The statement came after the lenders to Kingfisher on Feb. 12 said that they would begin initial proceedings towards recovering $1.4bn of defaulted loans after Kingfisher failed to come up with a suitable repayment plan. The parent UB Group, of both Kingfisher Airlines and United Breweries, has declared that it could use proceeds from a stake sale in a separate group company to Diageo. United Breweries (Holdings) was up by 5% after the announcement.

McDowell -

The USL - Diageo deal may be in jeopardy after banks have recalled loans given to Kingfisher Airlines. Bankers told CNBC-TV18 that they could invoke the corporate guarantee of UB Holdings and file for liquidation of the company. This could endanger the transfer of USL shares owned by UB Holdings to Diageo, reports CNBC-TV18.

The recall of loans given to Kingfisher Airlines by consortium of banks can actually put the entire USL -Diageo deal in jeopardy. Lenders state that they can also invoke corporate guarantees given by UB Holdings as collateral for Kingfisher Airlines.

Essar Ports -

Essar Ports climbed 7% after the lenders the company released the pledged 42,083,396 shares which have been re-pledged with the trustees, the released shares make up 9.8% of the entire paid up equity capital of the company, the company declared in a filing to BSE.
