Morning Bells (16 Oct 12)

Good Morning Friends.

My Friends Vivek’s Quote from Bhagwat Geeta – Tu karata wo hi he jo tu chahata he, par hota wo hi he jo mein chahata hoon… Isliye tu kar wo hi jo mein chahata hoon, fir hoga wo hi jo mein chahata hoon. (My words specially for option traders.)

Markets ended with slim gains on Monday, started the week on a slightly positive note despite slightly increased inflation figures compared to last month. It was also slightly above the experts’ expectations and I think was already priced in and digested. But Investors remained on the sidelines as they choose to stay sideline ahead of heavyweight RIL result and Axis Bank result which was set to announce later in the session.

India WPI at 7.81% as against the consensus estimate of 7.7%. It was at 7.55% for the previous month and 10.00% during the corresponding month of the previous year.

RIL has posted its fourth consecutive YoY drop in its Sept quarter profit on declining natural gas output from its KG-DG fields and poor petchem margins. Net profit fell 5.7 per cent to Rs 5376 crore,YoY. Sales were however up 15.4% to Rs 93265 crore, YoY. Its slightly above the experts expectations, experts were expecting 6% fall in net income.

India's third largest private sector lender Axis Bank  on Monday reported 22% YoY rise in its second quarter (Jul-Sept) net profit to Rs 1,124 crore, boosted by growth in loans and other income. Net NPA ratio too rose slighly from 0.31 to 0.33% sequentially.

So now we can say its inline, so now it would be interesting to see how market reacts today. To my view, since its inline so it wont hit the market and secondly Axis bank has also posted 22% rise in profit and that’s market may continue its y’day inning further to make an attempt to 5725.

On Govt. front, Govt. is trying best to boost the macro-economy. On Monday, Dr. Montek Singh Ahluwalia, deputy chairman of planning commission said that India's economic growth is expected to bottom out in about six months. Statement will also help in boosting sentiment.

While the Govt. has already cleared a bulk of the 52 Oil and gas blocks that were stuck for defence and environmental clearances.


The Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) is scheduled to be held on October 19, 2012 FIPB to consider 50 FDI proposals this week. While India allows FDI in most of the segments through automatic route, the FIPB clears those proposals which are related to sensitive sectors like defence and telecom. (Rreports MoneyControl.com)


Need to keep eye on statement of IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde, she said in IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings in Tokyo, “Global economic growth is being weighed down by uncertainty about whether policymakers will deliver on their policy commitments”, “We need action to lift the veil of uncertainty. Many of us have debated what actions are needed, many of us understand what needs to be done, but it actually needs to happen,” she added.

On world’s second largest economy China - Retail level inflation in China increased by 1.9% last month, China’s inflation was close to the slowest pace in two years in September.

Thursday will be a noticeable event as China’s third-quarter gross domestic product will be released.

MARKET OUTLOOK
Though participants are taking small positions but on broad basis market participants are in a wait-and-watch mode before the RBI's important policy meeting on October 30. This attitude giving sense that Oct. series will remain in a narrow range.

Now all eye will be on EU event on 18th while ITC and Tata Consultancy Services will announce results on Friday.

Still it’s a No Trade Zone in regards to fresh position. But one can start making position on selective scrip with consideration to buy on dips.

NIFTY
As per big experts the bottom for the market is seems around 5600-5620, so it it made attempt to thsese levels and sustain then Nifty is heading towards 6000 before new year.

Well, volume seen small but FII have created fresh longs. OI stands 2.46Cr.

5800CE has highest OI of 91 lac with addition of 1 lac & 5900CE OI is 88Lac with fresh addition of 2 lac. On short side 5600PE has highest OI of 76 lacs with fresh addition of 7 lacs & 5500PE has OI of 60 Lacs with unwinding of 4.39 lacs, 2 lac fresh share added to 5700 PE and OI stand at 57 Lac.

Vix fell 3.5% to 15.90 and Nifty PCR is 0.94.

Resistance comes to 5703 – 5719 – 5746 - 5815 and Supports comes to 5660 – 5635 - 5518.

Opening seems slightly on positive note say above first resistance and then market can opt range bound session till EU cue. So better watch for strength on Nifty and make position only on intraday basis.

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 can decide stock move either side.)

Steel Sector

India is the 4th largest steel producer in the world and will soon be the second largest, said Union Steel Minister, Beni Prasad Verma on addressing the 46th Annual Conference of World Steel Association here y’day. The capacity is all set to increase further as Steel plants in both public and private sectors have taken up expansion and modernization programs, added Mr. Verma.


Steel makers are likely to face margin pressure in the near-term even as raw material have eased, believes that the near-term margin outlook for Indian steel companies remains weak, notwithstanding some moderation in raw material prices recently, As a result of the downward journey of steel prices, the imports of steel surged in current year exerting significant pressure on domestic steel prices, which may continue to remain under check in the near-term.

Tata Steel – Has achieved best ever quarterly saleable steel production at 1.87 million tonnes (MT) in the July-September period, in Q2 of the last fiscal, it had achieved 1.71 MT of the saleable steel output, official said in a report on Tuesday last week.

Market may cheer to RIL & Axis results. Still Nifty is not showing strength, it may remain range bound, play only for small profit is the MG Mantra for the day. Before making any conclusion have a look to Nifty OI.
