Morning Bells (14 Jun 13)

Good Morning Friends.

Happiness gives temporary satisfaction but satisfaction gives permanent happiness.

Oooh Lala… It was sixth straight session of losses on D-street on Thursday. It was a seller’s day across the globe including US, EU and Asian market. Our dear financial friend Japanese Nikkei also tumbled 6.4%, hitting its lowest close since April 3.

Participant even ignored two major cheerful news - Fitch’s outlook change on India, which released after market hours on Wednesday, was unable to bring cheer to investors in India. The rating agency revised India’s sovereign credit outlook to stable from negative and affirmed the BBB- rating assigned earlier.

The Finance Minister’s statement on the Indian currency was unable to bring in a wave of cheer. To soothe importer and market concerns, P Chidambaram said, "There is no reason to panic over the rupee's movement. It will not continue to fall versus the dollar.”

I believe that there is no sense in talking various point, so in short, foreign institutional investors have decided to take money off the table on account of the high current account deficit and fast-depreciating rupee. FIIs have been net sellers to the tune of Rs. 204cr in the last four trading sessions.

(This I had informed you when Nifty was above 5940 and had warned that any close below 5940 will put Nifty into deep RED till 5735-40 and 5685, and that’s it was necessary for Nifty to close above 5940 last week itself.)

Gainers –

Hindalco, Bharti Airtel, Jindal Steel, Ambuja Cements, Cairn India, SBI and Hindustan Unilever were among the major gainers in Sensex & Nifty.

Losers -

Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda, Gail India, Tata Motors, NMDC, M&M, Sun Pharmaceutical, Sesa Goa, IDFC, BHEL and JP Associates were among the major losers in Sensex & Nifty.

Apollo Tyre was top loser and it fell down around 24% and touch 68 levels.

Sectoral –

The metals, IT, power, FMCG and auto stocks led today’s decline. Even the mid- and small-cap stocks witnessed selling pressure. On the other hand, oil and gas and healthcare stocks led the gainers pack.

Domestic Front –

Don’t buy yellow metal - PC -

FM ruled out any further customs duty hikes on gold imports, saying: "I don't want to become too unpopular." The government, which has to face the electorate in the general elections next year, would not want to antagonise citizens on a strong emotionally-linked investment.

He went on add that economic indicators like the current account deficit will improve drastically if Indians do not import gold for a year.

Chidambaram had suggested all banks that they should not encourage their customers to invest in gold.

Govt. will its best for current account deficit –

The steps taken by the government since August have had desired impact on fiscal consolidation and inflation, says finance minister P Chidambaram.

He says the government has been able to achieve "significant results" the on economic front in the last nine-months.

Speaking at press address, Chidambaram says the government will leave no stone unturned to achieve its revenue target. "We are doing everything we can to revive investment sentiment," he told reporters on Thursday.

Global Front –

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

The two major events lined up ahead are the minutes of the Federal Reserve's Monetary Policy meet on June 18-19 and RBI's policy meet on June 17.

As told about thin silver line for hope of rate cut, now going strengthen because after postpone of Food Security bill Govt. has very limited choice to stop fall in currency as well as to stop FII outflow.

The INDIA VIX on NSE was up 3.1% and ended at 19.44 against previous close of 18.85. The last time the index surged this level was in June, 2012.

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

Finally Nifty find support around 5700 level and longs seems to get some breather here ahead of RBI policy on Monday and Fed policy meet.

3 Major support zone are there from where market rebound few times in past. 5665-5685, 5605-5630 and around 5500 level. So at first point of 5685 short covering started taking place and today we may see some GREEN after 6 straight trading sessions.

Still don’t get too bullish, just use bounces to make exit and reduce your losses. Market need to close above 5940 for any further development. Short covering and short term buying in rate sensitive stock can push Nifty towards 5800 level but don’t get confused.

Opening – A small gap up is expected due profit booking in short position ahead of RBI & Fed policy meet.

Sun Pharmaceutical -

Sun Pharmaceutical ended 3% lower today. The company settled an ongoing litigation regarding generic pantoprazole with Pfizer pending in the US District Court with a lump-sum payment of $550mn. According to Amar Ambani, IIFL's Head of Research, the settlement has come in much higher than the company's provision of around $100mn. "Sun Pharmaceuticals consolidated cash stands at around $1.3bn. This has now reduced its cash balance. For FY14, we expect other income to come in lower. We see some correction in the counter and suggest accumulation at lower levels."

The issue attracted bids for over 12.37 crore shares, or 1.33 times, against 9.33 crore shares on offer even before the close of market hours, according to data from stock exchanges.

Apollo Tyre –

Apollo Tyres fell a scintillating 26% on Thursday after the company announced plans to acquire US-based Cooper Tire & Rubber in a $2.5bn deal. The company made the announcement post market hours. “The valuation at which Cooper Tire & Rubber is being acquired does not appear expensive, but the strain on the balance sheet at the consolidated level would be the biggest risk. In case of an extended slowdown in the US and Europe, debt servicing will be an issue. Volatility in earnings given the high sensitivity to rubber prices would be another headwind.

For some years now Indian companies have been scouting and successfully acquiring companies beyond the shores. Some have been ambitious in taking very leveraged bets. In 2012 there were around 72 acquisitions worth US$11bn as against US$6.7bn in 2011.
