New lows for Sensex,Nifty; Nifty below 3000 first Since July 2006
Market fails to hold; Nifty ends below 3000
Sensex tumbles below 10K
Markets tumble; Sensex ends below 9,800pts
Equities failed to sustain the recovery midway through on Thursday’s trade after SEBI asked foreign funds to cover their short sales and ended with huge losses Thursday.
The rebound was set off by short covering and supported by a sharp drop in inflation. However, the mounting negative sentiments across the global markets, meltdown in commodities and proved too strong to ignore. Indices opened with a sharp cut of over 5 per cent, in line with fall in global markets. The fall was led by metal scrips which were under pressure due to steep correction in international commodities prices. But bargain buying at lower levels helped recover partial losses. India’s annual inflation rate eased to 11.07 per cent in the week to Oct 11 from 11.44 per cent a week earlier. But the real trigger came after Finance Minister P Chidambaram said SEBI had directed foreign institutional investors to reverse their short sales. “SEBI has told them (FIIs) that it disapproves of lending to offshore entities, and asked them to reverse those transactions. I am told that those transactions are likely to be reversed over the next few days,” the minister said. This led to a strong recovery in the markets and the indices, which were down more than 3 per cent, soon made it to positive territory. But the euphoria didn’t last long and all the gains were wiped off.
Bombay Stock Exchange’s Sensex closed at 9,771.70, down 398.20 points or 3.92 per cent from Wednesday’s close. It touched a low of 9,681.28 and high of 10,260.55 intraday. National Stock Exchange’s Nifty ended at 2,951 down 3.98 per cent or 122 points. The index touched a high of 3,085.10 and a low of 2,917.15.
Second rung stocks were not spared either. BSE Midcap Index closed 3.2 per cent lower and BSE Smallcap Index declined 3.55 per cent.
“There is no word on restoring of short positions by the SEBI, except for their disapproval. If it indeed imposes a ban on short-selling by FIIs, there would be some sort of short covering. Our market is under pressure because there is selling all over the world. Eventually, a particular stock or the market as a whole would be evaluated on its fundamentals,” said Manish Sonthalia, vice president, equity research at Motilal Oswal. Rahul Sanghvi, Institutional Sales, Kantilal Chaganlal Securities, said, “FIIs can sell anything they have to but should avoid stock borrowing and lending practice outside the Indian jurisdiction. The fight between bulls and bears must be within the boxing ring. Investor confidence needs to be propped up and SEBI should publish more elaborate data on P-notes lending and borrowing activity.” India’s oil major, Reliance Industries posted 7.42 per cent rise in net profit of Rs 4,122 crore for the quarter ended Sep 30, 2008 compared to Rs 3837 crore in the same quarter previous year, beating analyst forecasts, helped by stronger than expected refining margins. Total income increased to Rs 44,938 crore in the September quarter from Rs 32,211 crore a year ago. The company’s refining margins for the quarter were $13.4 a barrel television news channels reported, well above the benchmark Asian Dubai crack margin, which averaged about $5.8 a barrel in the period. Shares of Reliance Industries slumped 7.62 per cent to close at Rs 1215.25 in a weak market. Grasim Industries (4.74%), BHEL (2.74%), ONGC (1.94%), Larsen & Toubro (2.43%) HDFC Bank (2.23%) and TCS (0.2%) ended higher. Tata Steel (-14.85%) suffered the sharpest cut. Losses in Tata Motors (-14.57%), Hindalco Industries (-13.10%), Ranbaxy Laboratories (-10.94%) and Mahindra & Mahindra (-9.77%) pulled down the indices. The four-day slide in metals gathered pace on recession fears. Copper and aluminium tumbled to their lowest in almost three years on Wednesday. Gloomy demand prospects and gains in the dollar to a two-year high have knocked commodities, many of which have collapsed since hitting record highs earlier this year, which in turn, dragged down the entire metal pack. BSE Metal Index closed 11.08 per cent lower. Market breadth on BSE was extremely weak, with 1908 declines and 622 advances.

Nifty ends 5% lower on weak global sentiments
Weakness in global markets and lack of investor confidence saw the Indian stock market benchmarks wipe off gains made in last two trading sessions on Wednesday. Markets opened sharply lower, in line with the Asian peers, on concerns of global economic slowdown. Losses widened as the session progressed and indices spiralled lower. There was dearth of buyers and investors chose to remain on sidelines. Expectations of further cooling in inflation rate failed to cheer the market. Inflation rate for the week ended Oct 11 is seen at 11.35 per cent, lower from 11.44 per cent previous week. “All the major global markets were down and we followed suit. There was hardly any buying in today’s trade and foreign investors as well as domestic funds were seen on sell side. There is still some pain left, as market has not yet seen the bottom,” said Sarfaraz Vakil, associate vice president, India Infoline.
Bombay Stock Exchange’s Sensex ended at 10,169.90, down 513.49 points or 4.81 per cent from Tuesday’s close. The index touched a low of 10,128.22 and high of 10,484.85. National Stock Exchange’s Nifty closed at 3065.15, down 5.25 per cent or 169.75 points. The broader index touched a low of 3051.80 and a high of 3235.75.
BSE Midcap Index closed 2.7 per cent lower and BSE Smallcap Index declined 2.02 per cent. Among frontline stocks, Tata Steel (-12.04%), Sterlite Industries (-10.04%), Reliance Communications (-8.79%), ICICI Bank (10.04%), Jaiprakash Associates (-7.88%) and Tata Motors (-7.87%) were the worst hit. ITC (1.04%) and Hindustan Unilever (0.5%) were the only gainers in the 30-share index. Market breadth remained weak through the day, with 1,733 declines and 778 advances on BSE. “Market is lacking confidence and sentiment is extremely bearish at the moment. No one wants to be caught on the wrong foot,” added Vakil. Amongst the sectoral indices, BSE Metal Index fell 7.90 per cent as global commodities prices were headed downwards. Realty stocks were hammered despite reports that banks were planning to cut home loan rates by about 50 basis points after RBI cut the repo rate on Monday. BSE Realty Index closed 7.57 per cent lower. The flooding of banking system with liquidity didn’t prevent banking stocks from falling. BSE Bankex closed 5.78 per cent lower on bearish sentiments. Traders took positions in defensive stocks, which saw the BSE FMCG Index end 0.62 per cent higher.

Sensex ends 460 pts up as heavyweights post strong gains
Sensex ends 460 pts up as heavyweights post strong gains
The market opened on a high note this morning, shrugged off an early setback and gained in strength as the session progressed thanks to frenzied buying, mostly on short-covering, in several blue chip stocks. If the firm trend in US and Asian markets triggered a positive start, it was the market regulator SEBI's warning to foreign funds against overseas lending and borrowing of Indian stocks for going short in Indian markets that resulted in some hectic buying activity in afternoon trade.
The Apex bank had cut repo rate by 100 basis points yesterday afternoon and the move raised hopes of lower lending rates and buoyed up realty, capital goods, auto and consumer durables stocks today. Corporate results reported today turned out to be fairly good and this also had a positive impact on the sentiment.
The Sensex, which opened with a positive gap of over 200 points at 10,428.11 and raced to a high of 10,750.20 in afternoon trade, ended at 10,683.39 with a handsome gain of 460.30 points or 4.5%. The Nifty settled at 3234.90, around 20 points down from the day's high of 3254.85, with a gain of 112.10 points or 3.59%. The Sensex and Nifty had tumbled to 10,250.23 and 3117.35 respectively in early trade this morning.
BSE CD, the consumer durables index, was the biggest gainer today. It ended the day stronger by nearly 9%. The Realty barometer advanced by 8.32%. The Capital Goods index gained 5.48%.
Besides realty and capital goods stocks, information technology stocks were among the star performers today. BSE IT and Teck closed higher by 6.03% and 4.66% respectively.
Power, oil, metal and FMCG stocks recorded handsome gains. Mirroring their surge, the respective sectoral indices moved up by 3% - 4.5% today. The Bankex closed 2.57% up. PSU stocks bounced back after a setback and pharma stocks edged higher after remaining quite subdued in morning trade. BSE HC and PSU ended up by 1.33% and 1.04% respectively. The Auto index closed with a gain of 1.65%.
Hectic buying was seen at several counters in midcap and smallcap segments as well. While the midcap index advanced by 2.31%, the smallcap index gained a little over 2% today.
The market breadth was positive. Out of 2651 stocks traded on BSE, 1613 stocks closed with gains. 975 stocks posted losses and 63 stocks ended flat.
Among Sensex stocks, only Mahindra & Mahindra (down 2.1%) and Hindalco (down 1.65%) failed to make it to the positive territory today. From the Nifty index, Idea Cellular (down 12.8%) suffered a sharp loss due to weak quarterly results. Sun Pharmaceuticals lost a little over 4%. SAIL ended lower by 2.3%. Cipla lost 1.6% and BPCL, the other loser, eased by 0.7%.
Jaiprakash Associates (up 16.25% to Rs 78.70) spurted on strong quarterly results. Tata Consultancy Services rallied sharply in afternoon trade and finished with a sparkling gain of 12.85%. Reliance Communications vaulted 11.25%. Tata Steel recorded a hefty gain of 10.2%.
Satyam Computer Services (9.85%), Tata Power (9.6%), Sterlite Industries (8.6%), Larsen & Toubro (6.15%) and ACC (6.05%) closed on a high note.
Index heavyweight Reliance Industries posted a smart gain of 5.75%. Wipro firmed up by 5.65%. HDFC, Hindustan Unilever, DLF and Reliance Infrastructure gained 5% - 5.25%.
ICICI Bank and BHEL ended stronger by 4.9% and 4.4% respectively. Infosys Technologies (3.9%) and State Bank of India (3.85%) also finished with impressive gains. Maruti Suzuki, Bharti Airtel, ITC, Tata Motors, Grasim Industries and ONGC moved up by 1% - 3%. HDFC Bank, Ranbaxy Laboratories and NTPC closed with marginal gains.
Siemens, Suzlon Energy, HCL Technologies, Unitech, Reliance Petroleum and Cairn India gained 5.5% - 8.5% today. Reliance Power, ABB, Zee Entertainment and Hero Honda also closed with sharp gains.
Indiabulls Real Estate flared up by 27.65% to Rs 136.90 today. Educomp Solutions shot up by nearly 24%. IDFC vaulted 20.85%. HDIL recorded a hefty gain of 19.15%. Titan Industries (17.4%) spurted on strong results. Praj Industries, Divi's Laboratories, India Infoline, Tech Mahindra, Chambal Fertilizers, BGR Energy, Oracle Financial Services, Asian Paints and Nagarjuna Construction Company also rallied sharply and ended stronger by 9%-14% today.
Ruchi Soya, MindTree, Century Plywoods, Prism Cements, EID Parry, Mahindra Lifespace, Core Projects, State Trading Corporation, Kansai Nero, Jai Balaji Industries, PVP Ventures, Penland and Nava Bharat Ventures were some of the big gainers from the midcap index.

Sensex gains 248 pts as IT stks end on a high, Results
Sensex gains 248 pts; IT stocks end on a high note
The market had some positive triggers today. First, a fairly steady trend on the Asian bourses gave the participants something to cheer about. Information technology, metal and FMCG stocks rallied higher on strong buying support and the Sensex moved past 10,300 in morning trade.
Stockometer
And then, when the market appeared to be losing steam, Reserve Bank of India cut repo rate by 100 basis points to 8%. This time, stocks cutting across sectors vaulted higher and lifted the Sensex past 10,500 to a high of 10,538.05. However, amid high volatility, the Sensex gave up its gains and very nearly slipped into the red in mid afternoon trade before it rallied again on some strong buying in the final hour.
Top gainers
Finally, the BSE barometer ended the session at 10,223.09, up 247.74 points or 2.48% over its previous closing mark. The Nifty, which tumbled into the negative territory to 3058.05 from a high of 3238.40, settled at 3122.80 with a sharp gain of 48.45 points or 1.58%.

The market had some positive triggers today. First, a fairly steady trend on the Asian bourses gave the participants something to cheer about. Information technology, metal and FMCG stocks rallied higher on strong buying support and the Sensex moved past 10,300 in morning trade.

And then, when the market appeared to be losing steam, Reserve Bank of India cut repo rate by 100 basis points to 8%. This time, stocks cutting across sectors vaulted higher and lifted the Sensex past 10,500 to a high of 10,538.05. However, amid high volatility, the Sensex gave up its gains and very nearly slipped into the red in mid afternoon trade before it rallied again on some strong buying in the final hour.

Finally, the BSE barometer ended the session at 10,223.09, up 247.74 points or 2.48% over its previous closing mark. The Nifty, which tumbled into the negative territory to 3058.05 from a high of 3238.40, settled at 3122.80 with a sharp gain of 48.45 points or 1.58%.
