Sensex vaults 692 pts; Nifty 219 pts up : Sify India
Sensex vaults 692 pts at close
Sensex zooms 692 points
Sensex rises 692 points on IT scrips
Sensex up 691 points on Asia, US rally
NSE 5985.10 218.60
BSE 19854.12 691.55
The bulls made their presence felt in no uncertain terms today as strong global markets aided the sentiment. And, the Bharatiya Janata Party's victory in the Gujarat assembly polls played a key role as well in keeping the mood upbeat right till the end of the session as it eased fears of an early national election. Expectations of buoyant results from India Inc also played a part in buoying up prices of top ranked companies today.
With traders running in to cover their short positions ahead of expiry of December series derivatives contracts, prices of several blue chip stocks had only one direction to go today, up north. While the Sensex, which opened with a positive gap of nearly 150 points at 19,308.20 and hit a high of 19,879 in late afternoon trade, ended with a gain of 691.55 points or 3.61% at 19,854.12, the Nifty settled at 5985.10 with a gain of 3.79% or 218.60 points. The Nifty, which opened at 5771.30 this morning, hit a high of 6001.05 in afternoon trade.
Buying in blue chip stocks was so strong and widespread that only three stocks, Bajaj Auto (down 2.85%), Maruti Suzuki (down 0.15%) and ACC (down marginally), among the Sensex components failed to close on a positive note today.
IT stocks had a highly profitable outing. Sector bellwether Infosys Technologies, which opened on a high note, ended with a handsome gain of 6.65%. Wipro topped the list of Sensex gainers with a splendid 8.9% surge. Tata Consultancy Services (6.1%) and Satyam Computer Services (6.3%) also ended with strong gains.
HDFC notched up an impressive gain of 6.35%. Reliance Energy (6.15%), Bharti Airtel (6.1%), BHEL (5.1%), Mahindra & Mahindra (4.85%), ONGC (4.75%), Tata Steel (4.6%) and ICICI Bank (4.4%) finished with big gains.
Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank, Larsen & Toubro, NTPC, Reliance Communications, State Bank of India and Tata Motors moved up by 2% - 3%. Cipla, DLF, Hindustan Unilever and Ranbaxy Laboratories also ended with smart gains. Hindalco ended nearly a per cent up. ITC, Grasim Industries and Ambuja Cements edged up marginally.
GAIL India, which spurted 9.6% to Rs 526.15, was the biggest gainer from the Nifty fold. VSNL rallied 9.25% to Rs 745.90. Punjab National Bank ended nearly 7% up. Nalco, Sterlite Industries, Sun Pharmaceuticals, HCL Technologies, BPCL, Suzlon Energy, Cairn India, Reliance Petroleum, Tata Power, Zee Entertainment, SAIL and GlaxoSmithKline Pharma also closed on a high note. Idea Cellular, Hero Honda, Unitech and Siemens ended with modest gains.
Reflecting all-round buying, all the sectoral indices finished in the positive zone today. BSE IT, which moved up by over 6%, was the most prominent gainer. The Teck barometer closed stronger by 4.9%. The Bankex, Metal, Oil & Gas, Power and PSU indices surged 3% - 4%. The Capital goods index advanced by 2.66%. The pharma index gained 1.23% while the Auto and Consumer Durables indices firmed up by 0.94% and 0.92% respectively.
With several midcap and smallcap stocks surging higher, the indices tracking the performance of these segments, closed stronger by 2.06% and 1.42% respectively. The market breadth was positive right through the session. Out of 2937 stocks traded on BSE, 1967 stocks ended with gains. 939 stocks closed in the negative zone and 31 stocks ended unchanged from their previous closing levels.

India turning into a hotspot for capital : ET Story
India turning into a hotspot for capital
India Inc attracted deals worth $68.32 billion for the year 2007, significantly higher than $28.16 billion in 2006 and $18.35 billion in 2005. The jump underlines India as a hot destination for merger and acquisitions (M&A), and also for private equity (PE) investment. Of the total of $68.32 billion deals, M&A accounted for $51.17 billion while the remaining $17.14 billion was in the form of private equity investment. As per a Grant Thornton report there were 661 M&A deals, including 348 cross-border deals and 313 domestic deals.
Among cross-border transactions, 240 were outbound ones, where Indian companies made overseas acquisitions. Such deals amounted to $32.73 billion. Tata Steel’s acquisition of Corus for $12.2 billion was the largest among outbound deals, followed by Hindalco-Novelis, and Suzlon Energy-RE Power with transaction value of $ 6 billion and $1.7 billion respectively.
There were 108 inbound M&A deals amounting to $15.61 billion, where global companies or their subsidiaries acquired Indian businesses. Vodafone tops the list of such kind of deals with transaction value of $10.8 billion. The global telecom giant has acquired a majority stake of 67% in India’s one of the leading telecom players, Hutchison Essar.
An industry-wise analysis showed that steel and telecom sector clearly dominated the M&A scene as both the sectors saw deals amounting to $14.9 billion and $11.3 billion respectively in '07. Aluminium, power and energy sectors also contributed substantially to the heightened M&A activity in the country. The trend shows a diversion of M&A activity to core sectors from IT, pharma, healthcare and biotech which had seen high value M&A deals last year.
Global private equity players have been quite bullish on India story, which is also reflected in a strong flow of their investments into the country. In 2007, there were a total of 386 PE deals worth $17.14 billion, substantially higher than 302 deals amounting to $7.86 billion in 2006 and 124 deals worth $2 billion in 2005. Bharti Airtel and GMR Infrastructure are the two notable examples where the companies have attracted PE deals worth $1.9 billion and $1 billion respectively. HDFC and DLF are few other listed companies roping in PE investors.
Seven out of the top ten deals involved real estate and infrastructure-related companies, according to Grant Thornton. “The heightened deal activity is a sign of M&A becoming a key element of strategy for India Inc. There is again significant growth in Private Equity which is now a major international force and now a significant part of the capital raising by India Inc,” Grant Thornton partner (corporate advisory services), Harish HV said. However, he is concerned that there could be possible dampener in the form of competition bill which seeks to examine all large M&As.

Rollercoaster Asian stocks set to rise in 2008 : ET
Rollercoaster Asian stocks set to rise in 2008
Asian stock markets gave investors a whit-knuckle ride in 2007 but most are up harply and analysts predict turbulent gains next year despite a severe US financial crisis. "I think Asian markets will be up over the whole of 2008 -- but they are set to fall substantially over the next few months first," said Shanghai-based expert Andy Xie, a former Morgan Stanley economist. Indian and Chinese shares led the pack this year, fizzing up about 85 per cent and 40 per cent respectively and defying fears that they had already risen too far.
China held a series of sometimes huge stock flotation that raised billions of dollars, while foreign investors continued to pour money into Indian stocks. But the key Japanese bourse had a year to forget as the Nikkei-225 index slumped about 12 per cent amid a global credit crunch rooted in the ailing US economy.
"The overall Japanese market has come down quite sharply in the last few weeks," said Tokyo-based fund manager Hideo Shiozumi, the chief executive of Shiozumi Asset Management. Asian markets have struggled since November, mainly due to fears about the impact of an expected US economic slowdown after a mortgage default crisis there, analysts say. China's attempt to curb high economic and stock market growth, for instance by hiking borrowing costs repeatedly, has also affected sentiment, they say.

The World's Top Microfinance Institutions : Forbes
Top 50 Microfinance Institutions
Microfinance has become a buzzword of the decade, raising the provocative notion that even philanthropy aimed at alleviating poverty can be profitable to institutional and individual investors. Instead of merely writing a check (then writing it off), why not make a tidy profit from a short-term, high-interest loan, most for under $200, so that a Mexican seamstress may buy a new sewing machine? Or so a Moroccan farmer can buy chickens so he may sell more eggs? Billionaires, global leaders and Nobel Prize recipients are hailing these direct loans to uncollateralized would-be entrepreneurs as a way to lift them out of poverty while creating self-sustaining businesses. That promise has had a magnetic effect on private capital sources. Microfinance funding from private investors more than tripled to $2 billion in 2006.
The field has attracted sterling banks and fund managers, including Citigroup (nyse: C - news - people ), blue-chip venture capitalists like Sequoia Capital, tycoons like eBay (nasdaq: EBAY - news - people ) founder Pierre Omidyar and Oscar-winning screen stars such as Robert Duvall--they've all joined the chase for returns in microfinance. Today, there are upward of 12,000 microfinance institutions issuing loans.

The field has attracted sterling banks and fund managers, including Citigroup (nyse: C - news - people ), blue-chip venture capitalists like Sequoia Capital, tycoons like eBay (nasdaq: EBAY - news - people ) founder Pierre Omidyar and Oscar-winning screen stars such as Robert Duvall--they've all joined the chase for returns in microfinance. Today, there are upward of 12,000 microfinance institutions issuing loans.
