Sensex retreats after hitting a new high, ends flat: Sify
Sensex retreats after hitting a new high, ends flat
Sensex ends flat in volatile trade
India's Sensex Ends Little Changed;
NSE 6272.00 -15.85
BSE 20869.78 -3.55
After a positive start and a subsequent fall from higher levels, the Sensex rebounded into the positive territory and ran up sharply in afternoon trade to hit a new all-time high past 21,100. Stocks, led by housing finance major HDFC, power and information technology majors rallied smartly on strong buying support. The Nifty too appeared well on course to hit a new high.
As participants, who remained highly cautious till around noon, turned aggressive and started lapping up stocks, it looked as if the indices would sign off on a highly positive note. However, a heavy bout of selling pressure that erupted in the final hour of trade wiped off a substantial portion of gains posted by a few front line stocks and resulted in the premier indices settling down in the red.
The Sensex, which had hit a low of 20,701.49 this morning but posted a new high of 21,113.13 in afternoon trade, ended the session with a loss of 3.55 points at 20,869.78. The Nifty closed with a loss of 15.85 points or 0.25% at 6272. In intra-day trades today, the Nifty touched a high 6338.30.
Auto, capital goods, healthcare, oil, metal and PSU stocks finished on a weak note. Select information technology, power and realty stocks made smart progress. Mid and smallcap stocks, which staged a splendid rally around mid aftenoon, lost steam as the session progressed and drifted lower in the end.
NTPC (4.5%), HDFC (3.6%), DLF (1.6%), Grasim Industries (1.5%), Hindalco (1.7%), HDFC Bank (1.7%), Reliance Communications (2.05%) and Reliance Energy (1.2%) ended with sharp gains. Ambuja Cements ended marginally higher than its previous closing price.
IT bellwether Infosys Technologies, which had a bright spell in the positive territory today, ended with a sharp loss of 0.4%. However, the other three IT stocks in the Sensex, Satyam Computer Services, Tata Consultancy Services and Wipro, finished with modest gains.
Mahindra & Mahindra (down 2.65%) was the most prominent loser in the Sensex today. ACC, BHEL, ITC, ICICI Bank, Maruti Suzuki, ONGC and Ranbaxy Laboratories eased by 1% - 2%. Reliance Industries slipped by around 0.6%. Tata Motors lost 0.45%. Tata Steel, State Bank of India, Bharti Airtel, Larsen & Toubro, Hindustan Unilever, Cipla and Bajaj Auto also ended in the negative territory, albeit with marginal losses.
Oil stocks Reliance Petroleum and BPCL went down sharply, losing 5.95% and 5.7% respectively from their previous closing levels. Punjab National Bank, Unitech and Suzlon Energy lost 1.5% - 2%. GAIL India, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Sun Pharmaceuticals, SAIL, Zee Entertainment, Nalco and Hero Honda also closed on a weak note. GlaxoSmithKline Pharma, Siemens and Cairn India ended with sharp gains.
The market breadth remained weak right through the session today. Out of 2912 stocks traded on BSE, only 766 stocks managed to romp home on a winning note. 2128 stocks ended in the negative territory and 18 stocks finished at their previous closing levels.

Sensex achieves 21K milestone
Sensex achieves 21K milestone
Mumbai (PTI): On hopes of corporates posting good results for the third quarter, the Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark Sensex on Tuesday surpassed a new milestone of 21,000 points during the intra-day but ended the day below the peak level in volatile trade amid mixed global cues.
The Sensex hit an all-time trading peak of 21,077.53 points but rolled back to 20,873.33 points, a gain of 60.68 points compared to its Monday's close.
The index fluctuated widely in more than 600 points.
----------------------------------------------------------
Sensex ends 61 pts up
Shaky at higher levels Sensex fails to hold
Nifty tops Sensex with 60% returns in '07
Sensex firms may lead Q3 slowdown
NSE 6287.85 8.75
BSE 20873.33 60.68
Equities, led by heavyweights, opened on a high note this morning thanks to a recovery in global markets. And the benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty scaled new peaks in virtually no time.
While the Sensex vaulted past the 21,000 mark for the first ever time and touched a new all-time high of 21,077.53, the Nifty raced past its previous best of 6300.05 to 6357.10. But then, the fall from those levels also happened in a flash. Though the Sensex managed to hang on in the positive territory for a long time, the Nifty found the going quite tough and slipped into the negative zone in mid-morning trade.
While the Sensex, which plunged to 20,696.60 in intra-day trades, ended with a sharp gain of 60.68 points or 0.29% at 20,873.33, the Nifty settled at 6287.85, well off its low of 6221.60, with a gain of 0.14% or 8.75 points. Even as information technology, telecom, oil and select bank stocks held on to their gains, stocks from auto, metal and power sectors turned easy on selling pressure. Buying remained stock specific in realty, FMCG and capital goods sectors.
Midcap and smallcap stocks were hammered down today. So strong was the sell-off in these segments that the Midcap and Smallcap indices went down by 2.82% and 3.28% respectively.

Mumbai (PTI): On hopes of corporates posting good results for the third quarter, the Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark Sensex on Tuesday surpassed a new milestone of 21,000 points during the intra-day but ended the day below the peak level in volatile trade amid mixed global cues.
The Sensex hit an all-time trading peak of 21,077.53 points but rolled back to 20,873.33 points, a gain of 60.68 points compared to its Monday's close.
The index fluctuated widely in more than 600 points.
----------------------------------------------------------
Sensex ends 61 pts up
Shaky at higher levels Sensex fails to hold
Nifty tops Sensex with 60% returns in '07
Sensex firms may lead Q3 slowdown
NSE 6287.85 8.75
BSE 20873.33 60.68
Equities, led by heavyweights, opened on a high note this morning thanks to a recovery in global markets. And the benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty scaled new peaks in virtually no time.
While the Sensex vaulted past the 21,000 mark for the first ever time and touched a new all-time high of 21,077.53, the Nifty raced past its previous best of 6300.05 to 6357.10. But then, the fall from those levels also happened in a flash. Though the Sensex managed to hang on in the positive territory for a long time, the Nifty found the going quite tough and slipped into the negative zone in mid-morning trade.
While the Sensex, which plunged to 20,696.60 in intra-day trades, ended with a sharp gain of 60.68 points or 0.29% at 20,873.33, the Nifty settled at 6287.85, well off its low of 6221.60, with a gain of 0.14% or 8.75 points. Even as information technology, telecom, oil and select bank stocks held on to their gains, stocks from auto, metal and power sectors turned easy on selling pressure. Buying remained stock specific in realty, FMCG and capital goods sectors.
Midcap and smallcap stocks were hammered down today. So strong was the sell-off in these segments that the Midcap and Smallcap indices went down by 2.82% and 3.28% respectively.
Bharti Airtel (4.05%), HDFC Bank (3.6%), Satyam Computer Services (2.7%), State Bank of India (2.6%) and Mahindra & Mahindra (2.45%) ended with handsome gains. Index heavyweights Reliance Industries (1.2%), Infosys Technologies (1.5%), Reliance Communications (1.8%) and ONGC (1.7%) had an impressive outing as well.

ICICI Bank to list I-Sec soon: Sources
ICICI Bank to list I-Sec soon: Sources
CNBC-TV18 has learnt from sources that ICICI Bank plans to list its 100% subsidiary ICICI Securities. Sources added that brokerages value I-Sec at Rs 25-45 per share of ICICI Bank.
ICICI Bank is looking at various options on an ongoing basis and said that any decision on subsidiary will be conveyed at the right time.
ICICI Bank called an analyst meet today to brief the analysts about the various subsidies and how they are doing and how their business is, going forward. What we have picked up from reliable sources is that they are looking at listing of its subsidiary, ICICI Securities. It is in the broking space catering to all the verticals including institutional broking, retail broking, as well as investment banking.
Many brokerages have valued this subsidiary of ICICI Bank anywhere between Rs 25 to Rs 45 per share for ICICI Bank. That means a valuation of close to Rs 5,000 crore for ICICI Securities. That could be pretty much on the lower end compared to the other listed brokerages, which have been on fire post listing as well as with the listing of their new companies like Motilal Oswal, Edelweiss and Religare.
So clearly, it makes sense for ICICI Bank to go out and list the subsidiary. An official spokesperson of ICICI Bank said that they are looking at various options, they keep on looking at ongoing options on various subsidiaries and at an appropriate time they may announce something on those lines, but as of now they said that they cannot comment particularly on this ICICI Securities IPO.
We did try to speak to many other market participants as well; there is a buzz that this makes sense for ICICI Bank to do it and there is a possibility that this will be announced soon. Just look at the valuation parameters, Religare, Motilal Oswal, Edelweiss, all are trading at a higher valuations and the market might give very hefty valuations to ICICI securities as well.

Sensex may cross 27,000 in first half of 2008 : Rediff
Sensex may cross 27,000 in first half of 2008
Year 2007 was spectacular for equity investors as a majority of stocks, across all classes and representing different sectors, delivered more than healthy returns.
How will 2008 be? To know what the charts indicate, The Smart Investor gets three technical analysts to predict what's in store for the current year. Neowave analyst Milind Karandikar, stock market consultant and analyst Devangshu Datta and Orpheus Capitals CEO Mukul Pal predict the market in 2008. Read on to know more. . .
1. Milind Karandikar
Year 2007 really turned out to be 'The Year of the Bull' as I had mentioned in my last article on January 8, 2007 in The Smart Investor. I received numerous mails following the article stating that I am trying to fool investors by giving some unrealistic projections of the BSE Sensex (20,000 by December 2007).
But, the Sensex did hit the target and fooled all those who did not trust my Neowave analysis. The stock markets would go where they would like to irrespective of what you and me wish. I am just an interpreter of the patterns they form.
No doubt that my analysis goes wrong on a number of occasions, especially in the short term, but on the longer term charts, the patterns look less confusing and future projections become more reliable. Right now, the pattern formed is suggesting that another huge bull run is impending. The technical analysis of this pattern has been discussed in the Technical outlook paragraph.
Even though year 2007 closed with a bang with the Sensex closing above the 20,000 mark, it was a rollercoaster ride for the indices over the year. The Sensex survived two major falls of over 2,000 points in February and July 2007 and managed to close near the all-time high.
Fundamental issues like crude oil prices, US sub-prime crisis, kept on producing ripples in global markets. Many analysts were worried about overstretched valuations at 14,000 level of the Sensex and continue to be worried at 20,000 level. Some are afraid of a bubble forming but, the markets are not ready to listen. If a bubble is going to form, you and me cannot stop it.
On the contrary, majority would not agree to the existence of such a bubble. The reason being a bubble is called a bubble only after it bursts. Everyone wants the bull markets to prevail for ever. But, since every bull phase is succeeded by a bear phase, one has to be very alert about exiting the market.
Technical outlook
The weekly chart of the Sensex shows that after a huge consolidation period (1992-2003) we are in a big bull run for almost last five years now. This rally is a large X-wave, which I had mentioned in my earlier articles also. A zigzag (A) -- (B) -- (C) pattern is the first part of this up move followed by a connecting pattern (X-wave).
This connecting wave is in the form of a running triangle that began in May 2006 and ended in August 2007. The presence of such a running triangle indicates tremendous upside potential for the Sensex. The calculations based on Neowave theory (By Glenn Neely) suggest that the breakout from such a triangle should be at least 1.618 times the largest leg of the triangle.
This puts the Sensex target at around 27,000 mark. The breakout could be as big as 2.618 times the largest leg, leading to a mind boggling figure of 39,000. Even if we keep aside this over-optimistic view, the target of 27,000 could be achieved and that too most probably in the first half of 2008.
The daily chart shows one directional wave (A) followed by wave (B), which seems to be a diametric pattern. This pattern has seven legs and has a bow-tie shape. This pattern seems to be almost over and the next wave (C) has began. I expect this wave to be again a directional move. Right now one cannot predict which pattern will finally evolve in the entire rally from the bottom of August 2007.
Investment perspective
The diametric formation mentioned in the last paragraph has appeared on most of the indices viz. Sensex, Nifty, BSE-500, S&P CNX 500, etc. Structurally, the patterns in broader market indices like BSE-500 suggest much stronger up move. It means that the chances are high for mid caps and small caps to outperform large caps in this rally.
But, one should choose fundamentally sound stocks from these sectors that have not somehow participated in the earlier rallies of the Sensex. There are always a lot of manipulated stocks from these sectors, which attract public attention and become good traps to lose money.
The sectors that are looking good right now are banking, steel and power generation. But, I personally feel that finally it would turn out to be a broad based rally in which most of the sectors would participate.
Finally, those who are investing fresh money have to be very cautious in selecting the stocks. And for those who are already holding good stocks for long time, my advice is Lage Raho Munnabhai!

2. Devangshu Datta
At the end of a 12-month period when the major market indices have returned close to 50 per cent (S&P CNX Nifty 55%, BSE Sensex 47%), and the market is trading at an all-time high, it would take a very brave man to suggest that a bear market is due. On a lot of grounds however, a deep correction or a bear market, call it what you will, is indeed overdue.
On the fundamental level, corporate earnings have seen a slowdown in the second half of 2007-08 and the market is fully-valued or overvalued using standard accounting ratios and growth projections.
At the global level, crude oil is hitting new highs and the US subprime crisis doesn't seem to have played out. There is a US presidential election and closer to home, there's chaos in Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal. There's also a sequence of state assembly elections and a general election on the agenda.
But technical analysts would say that this is mostly known and hence, the bulk is likely to have been discounted already by price movements. This is not quite true -- the fundamental news is indeed predictable and likely to be discounted.
But traders tend to be optimistic by nature and political uncertainty (including election results as well as events like terrorist attacks) is never factored out until it actually happens.
As things stand, a pure technical analysis would however, suggest that the market is more likely to head up rather than down. As the wise traders say "Never buck the trend" and the market is in a strong uptrend. In the past three months, Indian equities have generated more volume than ever before and despite several selloffs, the major indices seem to have made an upside breakout.
The Nifty has good support immediately below its current levels, in the range of 5,600-6,100. It has a target of about 6,600 in the intermediate term of three-four months and the possibility of moving till 7,000 in the longer-term of six-eight months. Beyond 7,000 and beyond that six-eight month timeframe, it's difficult to make concrete projections. If there are corrections, and there are bound to be, the major market index should bottom out somewhere at the lower end of the 5,600-6,100 range.
The Sensex will behave similarly, but if the pattern of the past year holds, it will register less width in its moves. The current Nifty basket covers the entire Sensex basket with the substitution of Unitech (Nifty) for DLF (Sensex). The correlation is close to 1 and the extra 20 stocks in the Nifty should lend it more upwards momentum.
Breadth has been a feature of this bull market so far. If we look at indices, the CNX Midcap (78%) and BSE Smallcap (87%) have both done better than the main indices. So has the CNX Nifty Junior (74%), which shows that the market has deepened.
Most of the sector indices have done well, underlining the breadth of the rally. The Bank Nifty has lifted 63 per cent and the BSE Oil & Gas index has delivered an astounding 115 per cent on the back of a great performance by Reliance Industries [Get Quote], Reliance Petroleum [Get Quote], Reliance Natural Resources [Get Quote] and Essar Oil [Get Quote]. It's an open question whether this is sustainable since all these counters look over-extended. The one major loser has been IT -- the CNX IT is down 11 per cent and this can be explained by the outperformance of the S&P CNX Defty (72%), which has beaten its rupee twin, the Nifty handily. The strength of the rupee versus the US dollar could continue to affect all exports, not just IT, over this coming year.
Summing up, the first eight months of 2008 should be positive, and there's no technical signals suggesting that the market is due for a major correction. Intermediate corrections should find support and peter out around 5,600 levels. Breadth looks good and relatively smaller stocks could outperform.
Danger signals would be 1) a drastic dip in volumes 2) narrowing in terms of size or breadth -- smaller stocks start underperforming and so do most sectoral indices 3) a correction that drives the Nifty below 5,500 for a period of a several weeks. If none of these occurs, the big bull market will be sustainable.
3. Mukul Pal
Just like 2007, we will see the sectors shift in and out of relative strength. And, as the Sensex keeps growing, its sectoral representation will increase or decrease based on how well the sectors perform. New sector leaders will get in the Sensex and the underperformers will get out.
While a high and higher Sensex might seem good for the economy, it will never convey the real picture early enough to make the most of high performing sector growth or early warning systems to get out of stagnating sectors. This is what we tried addressing last year when we said that energy and materials sector should lead the Sensex higher after the first quarter of 2007. On the energy front, we also mentioned that we do not see oil falling substantially below $50 and after oil hits base, the respective sectors should assume leadership.
I also mentioned about auto and IT underperformance, which happened. There was another aspect I got right, I anticipated a negative trend till March 2007 and a positive year turn around after that. About the things I got wrong�I was off the mark on the banking sector. The BSE Bankex moved up 66% in 2007. The banking sector indeed pushed us off our Sensex targets, which I did not foresee above 18,000.
So as you see, the answer to Indian stock market outlook is trickier than the famously quoted "Sensex 40,000" in five years. I am not saying that it does not challenge us to get the target on Sensex right by two decimals (Elliotticians have done it before), but market forecasting is extremely dynamic and to stick out for a potential turn level in 12 months is not an easy accuracy to deliver.
However, the Sensex targets can be built around sectoral and intermarket dynamics. The late economic cycle stage, which I discussed last time, is followed by topping and slowdown. After Sensex 20,000, the market expectations are for 30,000, but I don't see the Sensex extending beyond 24,000 this year with the benchmark making a decade high this year.
Like I saw the auto, pharma, FMCG and IT stagnating for more than 15 months on average, while the Sensex soared, it's wishful thinking that capital goods and banking will continue to outperform and will not pause if not exhaust.
The Sensex underperformed the capital goods, banking and energy sectors in 2007. And, these are the sectors, which will finally validate our case. Credit cycles are behind the economic boom and even if India is sitting on a huge industrial and construction boom linked with the capital goods sector, credit and real estate are interwoven in the sector.
Prices can't rush ahead of themselves and a rise of energy and material prices will only make it tougher for the capital goods sector to keep delivering, as costs go up. This year, the BSE Capital Goods index should move its last leg up to complete the cycle trend the sector started in 2002. The index should complete the last leg up from current 20,000 levels to 25,000. This should be the first leading indicator after which, identifying a Primary (multi year) top for Sensex should be easy.
And a move on oil above $100 to potential $125 might look interesting to the energy speculators. But, it will subdue the enterprising efforts that some of India's underperforming auto sector majors are making to bring in luxury cars by pitching to buy them from the other struggling global auto majors.
Not to forget to mention the other ill-effects of rising energy prices. So, after the damage will be done by high energy prices in 2008, the BSE Oil index will also head into major resistances accompanied by primary (multi-year) top on oil prices. The banking sector is also an early starter in an economic cycle. The Sensex started moving up in 2001, four years after the uptrend in banking majors. So, if the Sensex has to form a primary top this year, banking should lead.
We are not looking above 15,000 on BSE Bankex index (up 25% from current levels). Bad timing as you may call it, with capital goods and banking under pressure, energy topping late 2008 or early 2009, we will be ready for the proverbial bust heading into 2010 and 2011 Benner cycle lows. Selling in strength isn't easy. I advise to reduce capital goods sector allocations and look at pharma and FMCG majors, which I consider defensive plays and emerging outperformers. About IT, I don't see a reprieve yet, the negative surprises might keep coming.
Utilities and integrated metals and materials companies should continue to fare well. From an Elliott count perspective, the 3 primary of the Impulse from 2001 has witnessed a double retracement. And, the best case scenario expects at least a 3 Primary (multi year) top this year, as the sectors witness the relative shift once again.

Year 2007 was spectacular for equity investors as a majority of stocks, across all classes and representing different sectors, delivered more than healthy returns.
How will 2008 be? To know what the charts indicate, The Smart Investor gets three technical analysts to predict what's in store for the current year. Neowave analyst Milind Karandikar, stock market consultant and analyst Devangshu Datta and Orpheus Capitals CEO Mukul Pal predict the market in 2008. Read on to know more. . .
1. Milind Karandikar
Year 2007 really turned out to be 'The Year of the Bull' as I had mentioned in my last article on January 8, 2007 in The Smart Investor. I received numerous mails following the article stating that I am trying to fool investors by giving some unrealistic projections of the BSE Sensex (20,000 by December 2007).
But, the Sensex did hit the target and fooled all those who did not trust my Neowave analysis. The stock markets would go where they would like to irrespective of what you and me wish. I am just an interpreter of the patterns they form.
No doubt that my analysis goes wrong on a number of occasions, especially in the short term, but on the longer term charts, the patterns look less confusing and future projections become more reliable. Right now, the pattern formed is suggesting that another huge bull run is impending. The technical analysis of this pattern has been discussed in the Technical outlook paragraph.
Even though year 2007 closed with a bang with the Sensex closing above the 20,000 mark, it was a rollercoaster ride for the indices over the year. The Sensex survived two major falls of over 2,000 points in February and July 2007 and managed to close near the all-time high.
Fundamental issues like crude oil prices, US sub-prime crisis, kept on producing ripples in global markets. Many analysts were worried about overstretched valuations at 14,000 level of the Sensex and continue to be worried at 20,000 level. Some are afraid of a bubble forming but, the markets are not ready to listen. If a bubble is going to form, you and me cannot stop it.
On the contrary, majority would not agree to the existence of such a bubble. The reason being a bubble is called a bubble only after it bursts. Everyone wants the bull markets to prevail for ever. But, since every bull phase is succeeded by a bear phase, one has to be very alert about exiting the market.
Technical outlook
The weekly chart of the Sensex shows that after a huge consolidation period (1992-2003) we are in a big bull run for almost last five years now. This rally is a large X-wave, which I had mentioned in my earlier articles also. A zigzag (A) -- (B) -- (C) pattern is the first part of this up move followed by a connecting pattern (X-wave).
This connecting wave is in the form of a running triangle that began in May 2006 and ended in August 2007. The presence of such a running triangle indicates tremendous upside potential for the Sensex. The calculations based on Neowave theory (By Glenn Neely) suggest that the breakout from such a triangle should be at least 1.618 times the largest leg of the triangle.
This puts the Sensex target at around 27,000 mark. The breakout could be as big as 2.618 times the largest leg, leading to a mind boggling figure of 39,000. Even if we keep aside this over-optimistic view, the target of 27,000 could be achieved and that too most probably in the first half of 2008.
The daily chart shows one directional wave (A) followed by wave (B), which seems to be a diametric pattern. This pattern has seven legs and has a bow-tie shape. This pattern seems to be almost over and the next wave (C) has began. I expect this wave to be again a directional move. Right now one cannot predict which pattern will finally evolve in the entire rally from the bottom of August 2007.
Investment perspective
The diametric formation mentioned in the last paragraph has appeared on most of the indices viz. Sensex, Nifty, BSE-500, S&P CNX 500, etc. Structurally, the patterns in broader market indices like BSE-500 suggest much stronger up move. It means that the chances are high for mid caps and small caps to outperform large caps in this rally.
But, one should choose fundamentally sound stocks from these sectors that have not somehow participated in the earlier rallies of the Sensex. There are always a lot of manipulated stocks from these sectors, which attract public attention and become good traps to lose money.
The sectors that are looking good right now are banking, steel and power generation. But, I personally feel that finally it would turn out to be a broad based rally in which most of the sectors would participate.
Finally, those who are investing fresh money have to be very cautious in selecting the stocks. And for those who are already holding good stocks for long time, my advice is Lage Raho Munnabhai!

2. Devangshu Datta
At the end of a 12-month period when the major market indices have returned close to 50 per cent (S&P CNX Nifty 55%, BSE Sensex 47%), and the market is trading at an all-time high, it would take a very brave man to suggest that a bear market is due. On a lot of grounds however, a deep correction or a bear market, call it what you will, is indeed overdue.
On the fundamental level, corporate earnings have seen a slowdown in the second half of 2007-08 and the market is fully-valued or overvalued using standard accounting ratios and growth projections.
At the global level, crude oil is hitting new highs and the US subprime crisis doesn't seem to have played out. There is a US presidential election and closer to home, there's chaos in Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal. There's also a sequence of state assembly elections and a general election on the agenda.
But technical analysts would say that this is mostly known and hence, the bulk is likely to have been discounted already by price movements. This is not quite true -- the fundamental news is indeed predictable and likely to be discounted.
But traders tend to be optimistic by nature and political uncertainty (including election results as well as events like terrorist attacks) is never factored out until it actually happens.
As things stand, a pure technical analysis would however, suggest that the market is more likely to head up rather than down. As the wise traders say "Never buck the trend" and the market is in a strong uptrend. In the past three months, Indian equities have generated more volume than ever before and despite several selloffs, the major indices seem to have made an upside breakout.
The Nifty has good support immediately below its current levels, in the range of 5,600-6,100. It has a target of about 6,600 in the intermediate term of three-four months and the possibility of moving till 7,000 in the longer-term of six-eight months. Beyond 7,000 and beyond that six-eight month timeframe, it's difficult to make concrete projections. If there are corrections, and there are bound to be, the major market index should bottom out somewhere at the lower end of the 5,600-6,100 range.
The Sensex will behave similarly, but if the pattern of the past year holds, it will register less width in its moves. The current Nifty basket covers the entire Sensex basket with the substitution of Unitech (Nifty) for DLF (Sensex). The correlation is close to 1 and the extra 20 stocks in the Nifty should lend it more upwards momentum.
Breadth has been a feature of this bull market so far. If we look at indices, the CNX Midcap (78%) and BSE Smallcap (87%) have both done better than the main indices. So has the CNX Nifty Junior (74%), which shows that the market has deepened.
Most of the sector indices have done well, underlining the breadth of the rally. The Bank Nifty has lifted 63 per cent and the BSE Oil & Gas index has delivered an astounding 115 per cent on the back of a great performance by Reliance Industries [Get Quote], Reliance Petroleum [Get Quote], Reliance Natural Resources [Get Quote] and Essar Oil [Get Quote]. It's an open question whether this is sustainable since all these counters look over-extended. The one major loser has been IT -- the CNX IT is down 11 per cent and this can be explained by the outperformance of the S&P CNX Defty (72%), which has beaten its rupee twin, the Nifty handily. The strength of the rupee versus the US dollar could continue to affect all exports, not just IT, over this coming year.
Summing up, the first eight months of 2008 should be positive, and there's no technical signals suggesting that the market is due for a major correction. Intermediate corrections should find support and peter out around 5,600 levels. Breadth looks good and relatively smaller stocks could outperform.
Danger signals would be 1) a drastic dip in volumes 2) narrowing in terms of size or breadth -- smaller stocks start underperforming and so do most sectoral indices 3) a correction that drives the Nifty below 5,500 for a period of a several weeks. If none of these occurs, the big bull market will be sustainable.
3. Mukul Pal
Just like 2007, we will see the sectors shift in and out of relative strength. And, as the Sensex keeps growing, its sectoral representation will increase or decrease based on how well the sectors perform. New sector leaders will get in the Sensex and the underperformers will get out.
While a high and higher Sensex might seem good for the economy, it will never convey the real picture early enough to make the most of high performing sector growth or early warning systems to get out of stagnating sectors. This is what we tried addressing last year when we said that energy and materials sector should lead the Sensex higher after the first quarter of 2007. On the energy front, we also mentioned that we do not see oil falling substantially below $50 and after oil hits base, the respective sectors should assume leadership.
I also mentioned about auto and IT underperformance, which happened. There was another aspect I got right, I anticipated a negative trend till March 2007 and a positive year turn around after that. About the things I got wrong�I was off the mark on the banking sector. The BSE Bankex moved up 66% in 2007. The banking sector indeed pushed us off our Sensex targets, which I did not foresee above 18,000.
So as you see, the answer to Indian stock market outlook is trickier than the famously quoted "Sensex 40,000" in five years. I am not saying that it does not challenge us to get the target on Sensex right by two decimals (Elliotticians have done it before), but market forecasting is extremely dynamic and to stick out for a potential turn level in 12 months is not an easy accuracy to deliver.
However, the Sensex targets can be built around sectoral and intermarket dynamics. The late economic cycle stage, which I discussed last time, is followed by topping and slowdown. After Sensex 20,000, the market expectations are for 30,000, but I don't see the Sensex extending beyond 24,000 this year with the benchmark making a decade high this year.
Like I saw the auto, pharma, FMCG and IT stagnating for more than 15 months on average, while the Sensex soared, it's wishful thinking that capital goods and banking will continue to outperform and will not pause if not exhaust.
The Sensex underperformed the capital goods, banking and energy sectors in 2007. And, these are the sectors, which will finally validate our case. Credit cycles are behind the economic boom and even if India is sitting on a huge industrial and construction boom linked with the capital goods sector, credit and real estate are interwoven in the sector.
Prices can't rush ahead of themselves and a rise of energy and material prices will only make it tougher for the capital goods sector to keep delivering, as costs go up. This year, the BSE Capital Goods index should move its last leg up to complete the cycle trend the sector started in 2002. The index should complete the last leg up from current 20,000 levels to 25,000. This should be the first leading indicator after which, identifying a Primary (multi year) top for Sensex should be easy.
And a move on oil above $100 to potential $125 might look interesting to the energy speculators. But, it will subdue the enterprising efforts that some of India's underperforming auto sector majors are making to bring in luxury cars by pitching to buy them from the other struggling global auto majors.
Not to forget to mention the other ill-effects of rising energy prices. So, after the damage will be done by high energy prices in 2008, the BSE Oil index will also head into major resistances accompanied by primary (multi-year) top on oil prices. The banking sector is also an early starter in an economic cycle. The Sensex started moving up in 2001, four years after the uptrend in banking majors. So, if the Sensex has to form a primary top this year, banking should lead.
We are not looking above 15,000 on BSE Bankex index (up 25% from current levels). Bad timing as you may call it, with capital goods and banking under pressure, energy topping late 2008 or early 2009, we will be ready for the proverbial bust heading into 2010 and 2011 Benner cycle lows. Selling in strength isn't easy. I advise to reduce capital goods sector allocations and look at pharma and FMCG majors, which I consider defensive plays and emerging outperformers. About IT, I don't see a reprieve yet, the negative surprises might keep coming.
Utilities and integrated metals and materials companies should continue to fare well. From an Elliott count perspective, the 3 primary of the Impulse from 2001 has witnessed a double retracement. And, the best case scenario expects at least a 3 Primary (multi year) top this year, as the sectors witness the relative shift once again.

'The next Google may be from India'
'The next Google may be from India'
Naren Gupta is not new to Indian start-ups. His association with them began way back in 1995 when Draper International, an early stage US venture firm, started building a portfolio in India.
"My association with Bill Draper had me playing an advisory role to Draper International," says Gupta, reminiscing on those 20 investments of a cumulative $40 million that Draper International made in India between 1995 and 2000. The most well-known among them was its fund infusion into Rediff.
But that was then. Today, Gupta is a partner at Nexus India Capital, a venture fund started by him, Sandeep Singhal (ex-eVentures) and Suvir Sujan (ex-Baazee) earlier this year.
"This is my most active involvement with Indian companies," says this Melnopark, California-based managing director of the fund. So what got him to raise a $100 million fund for Indian start-ups? "About 3-4 years ago, I saw a dramatic change taking place in the kind of entrepreneurs coming up in India. They started coming out with break-out ideas that went far beyond call centres and outsourced services. I believe that the success of companies such as Infosys changed mindsets, and made entrepreneurs aware of what could potentially be done out of India," says Gupta.
While Singhal and Sujan are on the ground for Nexus, Gupta flies in once about every two months. "I believe that the next Google, Skype or eBay can come out of India. I don't know when or in what area, but isn't that the beauty of my job?" he says. That should explain his enthusiasm to fund Indian companies, and a list of 10 companies he is eager to meet before he returns to base in California on Tuesday.
His investments so far, in seven companies, have spanned mapping, mobile value added services, voice SMSing, web meeting software and internet infrastructure. He is bullish on such differentiated services which can create intellectual property. For example, CE Infosystems, the mapping company which got Rs 10 crore in funding from Nexus India Capital, provides maps through the internet and mobile, and also sells navigation devices for cars.
Like many others, Gupta is also gung-ho about clean technology.
Unlike most, though, he is also realistic about venture capital in India. "With so many VCs operating, only the smart ones will make money. The returns spectrum will be fairly large, and who knows, the average returns of all VCs in India could turn out to be negative," he says.
Like his partner Sujan, who co-founded Baazee.com, Gupta has also had his brush with entrepreneurship. He is credited with founding embedded software company Integrated Systems in 1980 in the US, taking it public 10 years later, seeing it through its merger with WindRiver Systems in 2000, and serving till date on the new entity's board.
So what's the general feed about India from Silicon Valley-based VCs?
"Those who are knowledgeable about India are very gung-ho. But then again, there are others who think that the skills required to operate in India are entirely different, and they would rather operate, let's say, in China," he said.
But for those like Gupta, who are already in the thick of action here, choc-a-bloc schedules are there for any interviewer to see: before any further questions could be asked, Gupta was pulled into another meeting, this time with a certain Jake - definitely not an Indian entrepreneur, but may be an important nexus to some source of funds.

"This is my most active involvement with Indian companies," says this Melnopark, California-based managing director of the fund. So what got him to raise a $100 million fund for Indian start-ups? "About 3-4 years ago, I saw a dramatic change taking place in the kind of entrepreneurs coming up in India. They started coming out with break-out ideas that went far beyond call centres and outsourced services. I believe that the success of companies such as Infosys changed mindsets, and made entrepreneurs aware of what could potentially be done out of India," says Gupta.
While Singhal and Sujan are on the ground for Nexus, Gupta flies in once about every two months. "I believe that the next Google, Skype or eBay can come out of India. I don't know when or in what area, but isn't that the beauty of my job?" he says. That should explain his enthusiasm to fund Indian companies, and a list of 10 companies he is eager to meet before he returns to base in California on Tuesday.
His investments so far, in seven companies, have spanned mapping, mobile value added services, voice SMSing, web meeting software and internet infrastructure. He is bullish on such differentiated services which can create intellectual property. For example, CE Infosystems, the mapping company which got Rs 10 crore in funding from Nexus India Capital, provides maps through the internet and mobile, and also sells navigation devices for cars.
Like many others, Gupta is also gung-ho about clean technology.
Unlike most, though, he is also realistic about venture capital in India. "With so many VCs operating, only the smart ones will make money. The returns spectrum will be fairly large, and who knows, the average returns of all VCs in India could turn out to be negative," he says.
Like his partner Sujan, who co-founded Baazee.com, Gupta has also had his brush with entrepreneurship. He is credited with founding embedded software company Integrated Systems in 1980 in the US, taking it public 10 years later, seeing it through its merger with WindRiver Systems in 2000, and serving till date on the new entity's board.
So what's the general feed about India from Silicon Valley-based VCs?
"Those who are knowledgeable about India are very gung-ho. But then again, there are others who think that the skills required to operate in India are entirely different, and they would rather operate, let's say, in China," he said.
But for those like Gupta, who are already in the thick of action here, choc-a-bloc schedules are there for any interviewer to see: before any further questions could be asked, Gupta was pulled into another meeting, this time with a certain Jake - definitely not an Indian entrepreneur, but may be an important nexus to some source of funds.

Sensex gains 126 pts, ends at a new high : Sify
Sensex gains 126 pts, ends at a new high
As buying remained quite selective with regard to large cap stocks, not many stocks from the Sensex moved into the positive territory today. However, gains posted by a few blue chips proved sharp enough to lift the Sensex to a new intra-day high of 20,861.83 this afternoon.
Earlier, with weak global markets triggering a sell-off in front line stocks, the Sensex had tumbled to 20,438.19, recording a loss of nearly 250 points in opening trade this morning. After bouncing back smartly, the Sensex remained a bit choppy for about a couple of hours before moving on to higher levels. It finally ended the session with a handsome gain of 125.76 points or 0.61% at 20,812.65.
The Nifty, which remained in the red for a better part of the session today as its non-Sensex components struggled for support, settled with a small gain of 4.80 points at 6279.10. In intra-day trades today, the Nifty touched a low of 6193.35 and a high of 6289.80.
ICICI Bank opened on a weak note but bounced back soon in a telling fashion. It held its course in the positive territory right through and was up by nearly 6.15% over its previous closing price when trade ended for the day. FMCG heavyweights ITC and Hindustan Unilever closed higher by 5.3% and 2.55% respectively.
Reliance Communications (3.95%), Reliance Energy (2.95%), DLF (2.1%) and heavyweight Reliance Industries (1%) also contributed to the positive close of the Sensex. Larsen & Toubro, State Bank of India and Tata Motors chipped in with modest gains. ACC and HDFC ended marginally higher than their previous closing levels.
Amid growing fears of a US recession, IT stocks had another weak outing. Sector bellwether Infosys Technologies eased by 3.35%. Tata Consultancy Services and Wipro went down by 2.8% and 2.7% respectively while Satyam Computer Services lost a little over 2%.
ONGC declined 3.25% to Rs 1299.95. HDFC Bank lost 2.35%. Grasim Industries (down 2.2%), Bajaj Auto (down 1.9%), Mahindra & Mahindra (1.5%), BHEL (1.4%), Hindalco (down 1.25%), Bharti Airtel (down 1.2%), NTPC (down 1.05%), Ranbaxy Laboratories (down 1.05%) ended with sharp losses. Ambuja Cements, Tata Steel, Cipla and Maruti Suzuki also closed on a weak note.
Suzlon Energy, which shot up by 6.8%, was the top gainer from the Nifty pack. Siemens notched up an impressive gain of 3.4%. Unitech, Reliance Petroleum, Sun Pharmaceuticals, Sterlite Industries, Idea Cellular, Nalco and GlaxoSmithKline Pharma also closed in the positive territory.
HCL Technologies, VSNL, GAIL India, BPCL, Dr Reddy's Laboratories, Punjab National Bank, SAIL, Zee Entertainment and Tata Power ended with sharp losses today.
Reliance Natural Resources (9.15%) rose on strong volumes. With a turnover of Rs 1490.70 crore, the stock ruled the chart on the National Stock Exchange today. IFCI (4.15%) and Parsvnath Developers (8.75%) also moved up on impressive volumes.
The market breadth was marginally positive. Out of 2926 stocks traded on BSE, 1572 stocks closed with gains. 1338 stocks ended with losses and 16 stocks ended at their previous closing levels.
