Morning Bells (2 Apr 13)

Good Morning Friends.

Haar aur Jeet apani-apani soch par depend karti he – Maan lo to HAAR aur than lo to JEET.

Market started the financial year on a positive note with the NSE Nifty managing to close above the 5700 mark. After hitting an intra-day high of 5720 in early trades, the Nifty index constantly declined for the entire first half. Markets fell after the Eight core industries registered a growth rate of (-) 2.5% in February compared to their 7.7% growth in February 2012. The decline in growth in February 2013 was on account of negative growth witnessed in Electricity generation and in the production of Crude Oil, Coal, Natural Gas and Fertilizers.

However, the benchmark indices rebounded amid some buying momentum witnessed in the Realty, Capital Goods, power and the Healthcare stocks. The S&P BSE Mid-Cap and the Small-Cap index were the top performers with both the indices adding 1.2% and 2.3% respectively.

Markets lacked international cues as the U.S. stock were markets shut on Friday for the Good Friday holiday, while markets in Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong were closed Monday for the Easter holiday.

The Eight core industries have a combined weight of 37.90 per cent in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP). The combined Index was 144.4 in February 2013 with a growth rate of (-) 2.5% compared to their 7.7% growth in February 2012.

Hinduja group promoted IndusInd Bank and the state miner NMDC today replaced IT major Wipro and Siemens in the 50 share benchmark Nifty index of National Stock Exchange (NSE).

The decision to replace Wipro and Siemens with IndusInd and NMDC was taken as part of periodic index review by India Index Services & Products Ltd, an NSE-Crisil joint venture.

IndusInd Bank and the state miner NMDC fared mixed on the first day of their inclusion in Nifty index on Monday.

Gainers –

DLF, Cairn, reliance Infra, Dr Reddy’s Labs, JP Associates, Ranbaxy, BHEL and Indus Ind Bank were among gainers in Sensex and Nifty. 

Losers –

Domestic Front –

Supreme Court rejects Novatris’ Patent Plea -

INR-USD exchange rate has also declined marginally from Rs. 54.40 to Rs. 54.28 during the same period. 

Global Front –

Global Market Outlook -

Most of the global markets which lost their way in recent weeks were seen bouncing back with the US markets among the top gainers. However, the worry globally is that Cyprus’s bank-restructuring plan may be used as a ‘template’ for other nations.

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

Indian equities may see sluggish trading sentiment early this week following data that India's CAD touched a record high of 6.7 per cent in the October- December quarter, but the markets are expected to bounce back in view of the recent downtrend.

Sentiment is likely to be subdued as investors may react to the Current Account Deficit data that was made public by RBI in its report on Balance of Payments - released after market hours on Thursday, followed by long weekend because of Good Friday holiday.

Nifty 5700 mark will play a big role, it will act as physiological level and further buying interest will come only after that.
