Sensex ends 144 pts down; Oil stocks flare up

NSE
5912.10 -25.80
BSE
19784.89 -144.17

After a volatile and weak start, the Sensex emerged into the positive territory this morning but faltered within the next few minutes as information technology and bank stocks tumbled sharply on selling pressure. Profit taking after yesterday's historic surge and weak global markets rendered the several large cap stocks highly subdued right through the session today.
While the Sensex ended the session with a loss of 144.17 points or 0.72% at 19,784.89, the Nifty closed with a loss of 0.43% or 25.80 points at 5912.10.

Thanks to hectic buying almost right till the end of the session, a number of oil stocks closed with impressive gains. A host of FMCG, fertilizer and realty stocks too finished with handsome gains. Power stocks met with profit taking and dropped down to lower levels. Reliance Energy (down 3.45%), Wipro (down 3.1%), Infosys Technologies (down 3.1%), HDFC Bank (down 2.85%), NTPC (down 2.85%), ICICI Bank (down 2.25%), BHEL (down 1.75%), State Bank of India (down 1.6%), Grasim Industries (down 1.3%), HDFC (down 1.3%) and Tata Motors (down 1.15%) ended with sharp losses.

Pharma majors Cipla, Ranbaxy Laboratories and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories eased by 1.15%, 0.99% and 0.8% respectively. Hindalco lost 0.9%. Reliance Industries and Hindustan Unilever weakened by around half a per cent. Satyam Computer Services, Tata Consultancy Services and Maruti Suzuki ended with marginal losses. ACC, Bajaj Auto and Reliance Communications ended flat.

Bharti Airtel, which zoomed to Rs 922 in intra-day trades, ended with a smart gain of 4.75% at Rs 900.10. ITC closed 3.55% up at Rs 189.65. Mahindra & Mahindra, ONGC, Tata Steel, Ambuja Cements and Larsen & Toubro closed with marginal gains. BPCL and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation vaulted 17.85% and 15.2% respectively. Siemens, VSNL, MTNL, Hero Honda, Suzlon Energy, Zee Entertainment, Unitech, Nalco and SAIL were among the other prominent gainers from the Nifty index.

Tata Power eased by 4.85%. ABB, Punjab National Bank, GAIL India, Reliance Petroleum, Sun Pharmaceuticals and GlaxoSmithKline Pharma also ended on a weak note. Essar Oil (30.5%) was among the most sought after stocks today. Bongaigaon Refinery shot up by 30.15%. Mangalore Refineries & Petrochemicals (22.1%), Chennai Petroleum Corporation (11.85%) and Indian Oil Corporation (10.25%) also moved up strong volumes today.

Among midcap stocks, Motilal Oswal, Essar Steel, Essar Shipping, Hotel Leelaventure, Networth Financial Services, Wire & Wireless, Madras Aluminium, IndusInd Bank, Coromandel Fertilizers, Petronet LNG, Usha Martin, Development Credit Bank, National Fertilizers, Shree Precoated Steels, Mahindra Gesco, Balaji Telefilms, India Infoline and ABG Shipyard were among the top gainers today.

Smallcap stocks Manali Petro, Chemplas Sanmar, Andhra Petro, South Asian Pipes, Gabriel, DCW, Mangalore Chemicals & Fertilizers, DS Kulkarni Developers, Eveready Industries, SREI Infrastructure, Munjal Showa, Indraprastha Medicals, Gujarat Ambuja Exports, Dolphin Offshore, Suraj Diamond, Ciba Specialities and Khaitan Electricals flared up to higher levels.
Though it was a highly negative close for the indices, the market breath remained strong thanks to sustained buying in several midcap and smallcap stocks. Out of 2849 stocks traded on BSE today, 1808 stocks closed with gains. 988 stocks ended in the negative territory and 53 stocks settled at their previous closing levels.

Seven Indian firms among world's 1,250 top R&D investors

Tata Motors, India's most valued automobile firm, and drugmaker Ranbaxy are among the seven Indian firms in the world's top 1,250 companies ranked on the basis of investments in research and development. According to a study by the UK government, the world's top 1,250 R&D investment companies together spent 244 billion pounds ($507 billion) in 2006, up 10 per cent from the previous year.

Companies from the US, Japan, Germany, France and the UK dominated the rankings and contributed 81 per cent of R&D by the G1250, the list of world's biggest investors. In contrast, the seven Indian companies spent just about 557 million dollars on research and development activities. "Firms from India and China have yet to establish themselves as significant players in the G1250, although other evidence suggests that both countries are increasingly important locations for R&D," the British government's Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills said in its "2007 R&D Scoreboard" report, released earlier this week. The study also included a list of top 850 UK firms, whose R&D spending grew by nine per cent to 20.9 billion pounds. The global list of 1,250 companies included 75 UK firms.

Just one Indian company managed a place in top 500, while the top-1000 list included four companies from India. Tata Motors was the top ranked Indian firm (401st; 91.99 million pounds; followed by Ranbaxy (683rd; 45.82 million pounds), Kpit Cummins Infosystems (861; 33.29 million pounds) and Dr Reddy's Labs (971; 28.24 million pounds). Mindtree Consulting (ranked 1,079; 23.84 million pounds), Sun Pharma (1,102; 23.25 million pounds) and Mahindra and Mahindra (1,147; 21.74 million pounds) completed the list of Indian firms.


Three Indians among Europe's 100 power-women bankers

Women are scarce in top echelons of domestic banks, except for a few like ICICI Bank, but the fairer-sex bankers of Indian origin are making it big in the West with three of them being named among 100 most powerful women in the European financial world. Julie Chakraverty, the youngest Managing Director and a board member at Swiss banking giant UBS; Ina De, Europe head of new equity issues at JPMorgan; and Rita Dhut, head of value investments at leading UK fund manager Morley Fund Management have been named among the Europe's most influential bankers by the Financial News weekly in its "FN-100 Women" list. This is despite banking and financial sectors being long considered as a men's territory in India as well as abroad.

In India, there are just about half a dozen women bankers holding top management level positions across various banks, with the country's biggest private sector lender ICICI Bank accounting for more than half of them. Chanda Kochhar was recently promoted as Joint Managing Director at ICICI bank and is being tipped as the next CEO after K V Kamath retires next year. Besides, the bank has Vishakha Mulye as Executive Director of ICICI General Insurance business, Renuka Ramnath as chief of ICICI Ventures and Shikha Sharma heading its life insurance business. Besides ICICI Bank, state-run Central Bank has a women as its Chairman and MD (H A Daruwalla) and mortgage lender HDFC has Renu Karnad as an executive director. "When it comes to success, gender is less of a barrier, as banking and finance, the sectors which were once considered to be a hard-core man's territory has been breached by plenty of fairer sex," Financial News said.

SEBI approves new derivative products
India's market regulator SEBI said on Wednesday its board has approved launch of several new derivative products to provide investors a wide range of risk mitigation products and create more activity in the onshore market. The products will relate to mini-contracts on equity indices, options with longer life, volatility index and F&O contracts, options on futures, bond indices and F&O contracts, foreign exchange F&O and introduction of exchange-traded products.

"These products are also expected to bring transactions based on private-synthetic products to an exchange-traded transparent mechanism with appropriate regulatory supervision," the Securities and Exchange Board of India said in a statement. The market regulator's committee on derivatives is expected to finalise its recommendations on suitable over-the-exchange derivate products for Indian markets, it said. Currently, the contract value in futures and options (F&O) segment is around Rs 2 lakh.

As the price of a stock goes up, the exchanges read just the contract basket to keep the value in the region of Rs 2 lakh. The government and the regulators are looking at a lower limit of Rs 40,000 to enhance retail participation. Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of the underlying asset. A futures contract gives the holder the obligation to buy or sell. An options contract gives the holder the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell.

The bulls, after staging a telling comeback yesterday afternoon, stormed the bourses once again and stamped their supremacy in style today. The resultant surge in prices of blue chip stocks proved so sharp that the benchmark BSE index Sensex, which opened with a positive gap of a little over 300 points, very nearly breached the 20,000 mark this afternoon.

Though it fell short of the coveted figure by a whisker - it hit a high of 19,987.71 in late afternoon trade - the barometer still recorded its biggest ever single day gain (in absolute terms) today. While the Sensex ended the session with a massive gain of 893.58 points or 4.69% at 19,929.06, the National Stock Exchange's 50 stock Nifty index zoomed 4.26% or 242.50 points to 5937.90. It hit a high of 5950.20 this afternoon.

The smart recovery in global markets, the decision of Left parties to soften their stand on the Indo-US nuclear pact and reports from SEBI that a number of prominent overseas investors have been applying for licences to enter the market as FIIs were among the significant factors that triggered a buying spree today.

Barring consumer durables stocks, which remained rather subdued, stocks from all other sectors were seen moving higher and higher as the session progressed today. Mirroring the splendid rise in prices of bank and oil stocks, the Bankex and Oil & Gas indices spurted 6.53% and 6.4% over their previous closing levels.

IT stocks, led by bellwether Infosys Technologies, bounced back from recent losses and posted handsome gains. The BSE IT and Teck indices climbed up 4.51% and 3.83% respectivey. The Metal index surged 4.16%. The Auto, Capital Goods, Power, Realty and PSU indices advanced by 2% - 4% while the FMCG and Healthcare indices firmed up by 1.53% and 1.64% respectively.
HDFC Bank (up 10.85%) was the biggest gainer from the Sensex pack. ICICI Bank closed with a gain of 8.65%. Reliance Industries flared up by 7.15%. Hindalco gained nearly 7%. Wipro, which was a bit sedate to start with, ended with a strong gain of 6.85%.

HDFC ended with a gain of over 6.5%. Satyam Computer Services (4.95%), Infosys Technologies (4.85%), ONGC (4.4%), Reliance Energy (3.6%), Tata Consultancy Services (3.6%), BHEL (3.5%), Maruti Suzuki (3.5%), Bharti Airtel (3.2%), Grasim Industries (3.2%) and Tata Steel (3%) ended with big gains.

Larsen & Toubro shed some points on profit taking, but still ended the day with a handsome gain of 2.85%. ITC (2.75%), Reliance Communications (2.45%), State Bank of India (2.2%), Tata Motors (2.1%), NTPC (1.85%), ACC (1.6%) and Mahindra & Mahindra (1.05%) also ended on a firm note. Ranbaxy Laboratories, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Cipla, Ambuja Cements, Bajaj Auto and Hindustan Unilever ended marginally higher than their previous closing levels.

Nalco, which shot up by 13.75%, was the biggest gainer from the Nifty index. Punjab National Bank, VSNL, Siemens, Sun Pharmaceuticals and SAIL gained 6% - 10%. MTNL, Tata Power, Sterlite Industries, Zee Entertainment, Unitech, HCL Technologies, GAIL India, GlaxoSmithKline Pharma, ABB, Suzlon Energy and Hero Honda also closed with impressive gains.

Besides large cap stocks, a number of midcap and smallcap stocks also rallied to higher levels and mirroring widespread buying, the market breadth remained quite strong today. When trade ended, out of a total of 2849 stocks seen in action on BSE, as many as 2025 stocks were up in the positive territory. 763 stocks closed with losses and 61 stocks ended at their previous closing levels.
