Market glued to Tuesday's trust vote
D-St Outlook
The outcome of the crucial trust vote on Tuesday, which will not only decide the fate of the UPA government, but also Indo-US nuclear deal, will set the tone for equities this week. If the government fails the vote, it is expected to trigger the next major bout of selling, as investors are generally uncomfortable with unstable regimes. Going by the euphoria in the market in the last couple of sessions, also aided by declining global crude prices, it appears that investors expect the Congress-led UPA government to win the trust vote. Sentiment has been boosted by expectations that surviving the trust vote will prompt the UPA government to speed-up the languishing economic reforms process.
But, not everyone thinks the government’s survival in the trust vote would change India’s real economic conditions “Overall, it may well be that the Congress-led government survives the vote of confidence and limps on until 2009. However, there will be plenty of demand for populist action as each party, in what is likely to be a very unwieldy coalition, attempts to quickly make its mark before the general election,” said HSBC’s economists and strategists in a recent note.
Even if the market rallies, driven by the government’s survival in the trust vote, analysts believe upsides will be short-lived, as concerns such as inflation along with slowing economic and corporate profit growth remain. So far, for the first quarter, companies’ earnings have not sprung any positive surprises, with sales growth remaining stable, while profit growth getting squeezed.
“History suggests that the government’s ability to control growth and inflation is fairly limited and we suspect that it will go into the election with still high WPI (wholesale price index) inflation and softening economic activity,” the report added. As the week progresses, investor bets will likely shift to the outcome of RBI’s monetary policy review on July 29. Given that inflation has not mellowed, analysts expect the central bank to hike the repo rate as part of its attempts to contain prices. In the week to July 5, inflation, represented by the WPI index, rose to 11.91%, as against expectations of over 12% and up from 11.89% in the previous week. Banks and real estate shares may see build-up of short positions in the futures and options (F&O) markets ahead of the monetary policy review.
CLSA notes the 3,688-3,781 level marks an important pivot point for the Nifty, which closed at 4092.25 on Friday. Key corporate results this week include BHEL, Maruti Suzuki, Bharti Airtel, Reliance Industries, ACC, SAIL and Sesa Goa, among others. “These technical levels are important to take note of as they often mark the end of corrections. We would lighten up on existing short positions here. Initial resistance is provided by the August 2007 lows at 3,953-4,021 with key resistance found at 4,412-4,471,” the French brokerage said, in its recent trading strategy note.

Sensex companies valuation halved in six months
Sensex companies valuation halved in six months
BL Research Bureau For every rupee of earnings managed by BSE Sensex companies, investors are today willing to pay only half of what they paid in January 2008.
The market meltdown of 2008 has seen the Sensex value fall by 35 per cent till date, but it has halved the price-to-earnings multiple (PE multiple) for companies in the bellwether index.
The PE multiple of the Sensex, which was at a rich 28 times (based on historic 12-month earnings) at 21,000 levels, has plunged to a staid 14 times now, Bloomberg data shows. The lower valuation indicates that investors now expect Sensex companies to grow at only half the rate that they factored in, in January.
World over, investors value companies based on potential growth and the PE multiple is one of the widely used tools to evaluate how expensive or cheap stocks are, relative to their growth prospects. Worst in a decade
The erosion in Sensex PE multiple in this meltdown may be the worst in a decade, even including the dotcom crash of 2001. Banking and realty companies have been worst hit, with SBI seeing its PE multiple fall from 20 times to just 6, while DLF has seen its PE plunge from 90 times to 8 times.
Reliance Industries, Jaiprakash Associates, SBI, Tata Steel, Reliance Infrastructure (formerly Reliance Energy) and DLF, are among companies that have seen their PE multiples trimmed to half their January level.
Many of these companies have seen their valuation fall even as they managed a sharp ramp-up in their earnings for 2007-08. DLF (earnings per share grew from Rs 13 to Rs 47 between FY07 and FY08), Bharti Airtel (Rs 21 to Rs 34), HDFC (Rs 69 to Rs 100) are key instances. ‘De-rating’ stocks While concerns about rising interest rates have prompted investors to tone down growth expectations from bank and realty companies, worries about the economy slowing down have made them ‘de-rate’ infrastructure and capital goods stocks.
Companies in the Sensex basket that have managed to escape this bout of de-rating are Infosys, Satyam, Ranbaxy Labs, Cipla and Hindalco, which have more or less held on to their PE multiples.

Reliance Communications-MTN mutually end tie-up talks
Reliance Communications-MTN mutually end tie-up talks
Reliance Communications and South Africa's MTN on Friday mutually ended tie-up talks after Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Industries (RIL) on Thursday started arbitration proceedings against younger brother Anil's RCom to thwart the latter’s merger with Africa’s largest telco. RCom said that it is unable to presently conclude the deal due to regulatory issues. The No. 2 mobile carrier in the country has been in exclusive talks with MTN since late May to create a top-10 global telecoms group spanning about two dozen countries. But a claim by elder brother Mukesh of first right of refusal on Reliance Communications shares had complicated prospects for a deal.
The dispute took a fresh turn on Thursday when Mukesh, who runs RIL started arbitration proceedings on the share claim. However, Reliance Communications investors on Friday shrugged off the latest twist in a family squabble clouding the group. A 45-day exclusivity period between RCom and MTN expired earlier this month and an extension was due to end on Monday. The talks have been overshadowed by the dispute and whether MTN would risk striking a deal which could then be beholden to India's judicial system.

Market rejoices host of good news; Sensex up 4%
Market rejoices host of good news; Sensex up 4%
Investors had enough reasons to turn bullish on Friday and build on the gains of previous session. They not only covered short positions in interest sensitive sectors, but made fresh purchases in select blue chips.
After market hours on Thursday, government data showed India’s inflation for the week ended July 5 had risen to 11.91 per cent, higher from previous week's 11.89 per cent. The figure came as a surprise for the market which was expecting it around 12 per cent. Add to this, a statement from the Department of Economic Affairs that inflation had ‘stabilised’ was morale booster.
Mood in US financial market, which has been under pressure due to credit crisis, turned positive after lender JP Morgan Chase announced better than expected results.
US stocks rallied overnight also as oil prices dropped sharply. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 1.85 per cent, Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 1.20 per cent, and Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 1.20 per cent.
Steep fall in crude oil prices, a major concern for global economies, further strengthened sentiment. Oil hovered above $130 per barrel on Friday, after correcting more than 10 per cent in just three days from the record high of $147.27 on July 11. Rally in European markets also gave investors a chance to build on. FTSE 100 was higher by 1 per cent, DAX 30 up 1.79 per cent and CAC 40 added 0.79 per cent.
“Oil prices have come down and inflation figures were on expected lines. So far companies have announced good quarterly results. Many market participants have discounted outcome of vote of confidence and feel that the government will be able to scrape through. These all factors led to rally in the market,” said Rahul Sanghvi, institutional sales, Kantilal Chhaganlal Securities.
Bombay Stock Exchange’s Sensex closed at 13635.40, up 523.55 points or 3.99 per cent. It touched a high of 13684.27 and low of 13093.34. National Stock Exchange’s Nifty ended at 4092.25, up 3.67 per cent or 145.05 points. The broader index touched a high of 4,110.55 and low of 3,926.30.
“Selling by FIIs has reduced a bit and local mutual funds have initiated buying in blue chips like Larsen & Toubro, Tata Steel, Reliance Industries and Infosys Technologies. Valuations of most stocks look attractive at current levels,” Sanghvi added. Tier II and III stocks under performed the benchmarks as BSE Midcap Index closed 1.63 per cent high at 5239.39 and BSE Smallcap Index ended 1.08 per cent up 6,455.89.

Investors had enough reasons to turn bullish on Friday and build on the gains of previous session. They not only covered short positions in interest sensitive sectors, but made fresh purchases in select blue chips.
After market hours on Thursday, government data showed India’s inflation for the week ended July 5 had risen to 11.91 per cent, higher from previous week's 11.89 per cent. The figure came as a surprise for the market which was expecting it around 12 per cent. Add to this, a statement from the Department of Economic Affairs that inflation had ‘stabilised’ was morale booster.
Mood in US financial market, which has been under pressure due to credit crisis, turned positive after lender JP Morgan Chase announced better than expected results.
US stocks rallied overnight also as oil prices dropped sharply. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 1.85 per cent, Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 1.20 per cent, and Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 1.20 per cent.
Steep fall in crude oil prices, a major concern for global economies, further strengthened sentiment. Oil hovered above $130 per barrel on Friday, after correcting more than 10 per cent in just three days from the record high of $147.27 on July 11. Rally in European markets also gave investors a chance to build on. FTSE 100 was higher by 1 per cent, DAX 30 up 1.79 per cent and CAC 40 added 0.79 per cent.
“Oil prices have come down and inflation figures were on expected lines. So far companies have announced good quarterly results. Many market participants have discounted outcome of vote of confidence and feel that the government will be able to scrape through. These all factors led to rally in the market,” said Rahul Sanghvi, institutional sales, Kantilal Chhaganlal Securities.
Bombay Stock Exchange’s Sensex closed at 13635.40, up 523.55 points or 3.99 per cent. It touched a high of 13684.27 and low of 13093.34. National Stock Exchange’s Nifty ended at 4092.25, up 3.67 per cent or 145.05 points. The broader index touched a high of 4,110.55 and low of 3,926.30.
“Selling by FIIs has reduced a bit and local mutual funds have initiated buying in blue chips like Larsen & Toubro, Tata Steel, Reliance Industries and Infosys Technologies. Valuations of most stocks look attractive at current levels,” Sanghvi added. Tier II and III stocks under performed the benchmarks as BSE Midcap Index closed 1.63 per cent high at 5239.39 and BSE Smallcap Index ended 1.08 per cent up 6,455.89.

Wall Street shot higher on Thursday, extending its rally into a second session as tumbling energy prices bolstered an already upbeat mood that followed stronger-than-expected quarterly reports from big names like JPMorgan Chase and United Technologies. The Dow Jones industrial average rose more than 200 points, bringing their two-day advance to more than 480. Investors got a double dose of good news after weeks of angst about the economy. Light, sweet crude fell $5.31 to settle at $129.29 a barrel; oil has dropped more than $15 in just the past three sessions. And early on Thursday, three components of the Dow industrials, JPMorgan Chase & Co, United Technologies Corp and Coca-Cola Co, issued comments that generally indicated that their businesses are holding up despite sometimes difficult economic conditions. The reports let investors put aside some of their worst fears about the economy. Still, Wall Street has had some up periods in the past few months as optimism grew, only to fall back into a downturn as worries about the financial sector and the economy have welled back up.
"The sentiment has just been so negative that even a whiff of positive news is driving the markets," said Kevin Dorwin, principal at wealth management firm Bingham, Osborn & Scarborough in San Francisco. "Oil the key factor right now because inflation has been on the top of investors' minds and a reduction in the price of oil signals that perhaps inflation will not get out of hand. That's very positive for both the stock and bond markets." Beyond oil, natural gas prices also fell sharply Thursday after the Energy Department said domestic stockpiles rose last week, signaling a drop in demand. While levels remain below those of recent years natural gas fell 86.1 cents to settle at $10.537 per 1,000 cubic feet. A sustained drop in energy costs would be welcome news for nearly all parts of the economy. Consumers have been hard-pressed by higher fuel and food costs. Wall Street is worried they will pare their spending on discretionary items to make room in their budgets for the higher-priced necessities.
A pullback could be troublesome as consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of US economic activity. But the declines in energy and profit reports from marquee names left investors in an acquisitive mood again Thursday. The Dow rose 207.38, or 1.85 percent, to 11,446.66. The Dow on Wednesday surged 276 points after oil fell and Wells Fargo & Co. posted better-than-expected earnings. The 4.4 percent advance over two days was the Dow's best two-day percentage gain since October 2002 and the point increase gave the blue chips their best back-to-back point gain since late November last year. Broader stock indicators also rose Thursday. The Standard & Poor's 500 index advanced 14.96, or 1.20 percent, to 1,260.32, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 27.45, or 1.20 percent, to 2,312.30. Advancing issues outpaced decliners by nearly 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.96 billion shares compared with 1.73 billion shares traded Wednesday. Bond prices showed steep declines as investors turned away from the safety of government debt. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, jumped to 4.01 percent from 3.94 percent late on Wednesday. The dollar was mixed against other major currencies, while gold prices rose. Continued...Next >>
