Morning Bells (18 July 13)

Good Morning Friends.

Never get discouraged, when your first few attempts fails, its often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock.

Equity benchmarks recouped some of previous day's losses on Wednesday with the Sensex closing near 20000 level. Short covering in many of the beaten down stocks and value buying in FMCG space helped the market, but gains were capped due to further fall in banks and metals shares.

Hindustan Unilever was the star performer today, with the shares soaring 12 percent intraday to touch a record high of Rs 698.95 on rebalancing of the stock's weightage by FTSE and MSCI in their indices.

FMCG major also hiked prices of its several personal care products. The stock closed at Rs 684.75 on the BSE, up 9.86 percent.

However, it was yet another bearish session for the banks with the Bank Nifty falling more than 2 percent. It had crashed nearly 5 percent in previous session after RBI announced measures to curb rupee depreciation.

The market opened gap up after the government hiked foreign direct investment in 13 sectors, including 100% in telecom and higher caps in insurance and defence sectors. However, the indices saw a free-fall post lunch. It staged a stellar recovery from the day's lows thanks to index heavyweight Hindustan Unilever.

Telecom shares, which were in the spotlight for the last couple of days saw huge profit-booking. The government raised the FDI cap in telecom sector to 100%. Bharti Airtel and Reliance Communications dipped 2% each while Idea Cellular tanked 4.2%. MTNL bucked the trend and ended in the green up 1.4%.

Global Front –

FED to scale back bond program later this year, no deadline set yet –

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke kept up with his guessing game on when the massive $85bn monthly bond buying program will be tapered. In his address to the US House of Representatives Financial Services Committee, Bernanke said the Fed expects to start scaling back its massive asset purchase program later this year. However, he left open the option open to change that plan in either direction if the economic outlook shifted.

In prepared remarks for his semiannual monetary report before the US House financial services committee, the Fed chairman said, "With unemployment still high and declining only gradually, and with inflation running below the Committee's longer-run objective, a highly accommodative monetary policy will remain appropriate for the foreseeable future."

"Our asset purchases depend on economic and financial developments, but they are by no means on a preset course," he stated.

Buzz Q1 Nos –

18 July – TCS, Axis Bank & Kotak Mahindra Banks Q1 No.s

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

It was one of rare day when almost all the analysis fails. Now what one can expect is – 5940 could be a support for immediate short term, if broken then 5750/5700 is the next level. On upside 5970/6040 / 6100 is the major hurdle or resistance.

Opening – Seems a small gap up as today is the day of TCS, Axis and also participant get a slight hope of rate cut, so rate sensitive is again on buying radar.
