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.
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.

DLF, Larsen & Toubro, Reliance Energy and Tata Consultancy Services also finished on a high note with strong gains to their credit. Wipro ended nearly a per cent up. Bajaj Auto managed to post a small gain.

Among the losers, Grasim Industries, Hindalco and Tata Steel eased by 3.25%, 3.75% and 3.65% respectively. ACC, Cipla, Hindustan Unilever, HDFC, ICICI Bank, Maruti Suzuki, NTPC, Reliance Energy and Tata Motors lost 1% - 2.5%. Ambuja Cements, BHEL and Ranbaxy Laboratories closed lower by 0.5% - 0.75% while ITC ended with a small loss.
Oil stock BPCL closed with a sharp loss of 5.65%. Cairn India, Nalco, Sterlite Industries, Tata Power, SAIL, Zee Entertainment, Unitech, Reliance Petroleum, Hero Honda, Idea Cellular, Punjab National Bank, Sun Pharmaceuticals, VSNL, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories and Siemens also ended sharply lower today.

Suzlon Energy, the biggest gainer among Nifty stocks, closed stronger by 4.7%. GlaxoSmithKline Pharma moved up by 4.35%. HCL Technologies and GAIL India also ended on a firm note.
Engineers India, Polaris, HDIL, Asian Paints, MphasiS, GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare, ICI India, JB Chemicals, IPCA Laboratories, Nestle, Reliance Natural Resources, United Spirits, Tech Mahindra, i-Flex Solutions, Bajaj Hindustan, Karnataka Bank, Sintex Industries, KEI Industries, Balkrishna Industries, EID Parry, Jai Corp, Shaw Wallace, REI Agro, Geojit Financial Services, Karuturi Network, Bajaj Auto Finance and Madhucon Projects were among the prominent gainers today.

Due to heavy selling in midcap and smallcap stocks, the market breadth was very weak today. Out of 2922 stocks traded on BSE, as many as 2369 stocks ended in the negative territory. 541 stocks posted gains and 12 stocks ended at their previous closing levels

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.
