Euro Recovery Soothes Nerves

Euro Recovery Soothes Nerves

Our markets are likely to open sharply higher on the back of buoyant US markets, which were tracing the gains of the Euro. However, they are likely to run into resistance in the 5150-5170 ranges. How they perform, thereafter will be a function of the IIP data that will be on tap today.

A rebound in the Euro put the Dow back on the 10,000 as the German Supreme Court rejected efforts to block Germany from taking part in guarantees that are critical to the stabilization mechanism aimed to strengthening the euro.

The Dow surged 273 points at 10,173 with the S&P 500 adding 31 points at 1087, and the NASDAQ surging by 60 points to close at 2219.

The euro continued its recent climb, regaining the 1.2100 levels for the first time in a week after trading as low as 1.1877 on Monday.

Strong demand for Spain’s €3.9 billion auction of three-year government bonds and the Bank of England holding its base interest rate at a record low of 0.5% for the 16th consecutive month also helped matters on a day when energy stocks rebounded and initial weekly jobless claims fell by 3,000 in the US.

News that the SEC stepped up its examination into a collateralized debt obligation by Goldman Sachs that wasn't part of the civil fraud charges previously filed against the firm, made the stock register a new 52 week low.

Meanwhile, Crude for July delivery gained $1.10, to settle at $75.48 a barrel. Gold contract settled $7.70 lower, at $1,222.20 an ounce. The dollar traded lower against a basket of currencies, with the dollar index down by 1%.

Coming back to our markets, we have the crucial IIP data today. The market men expect a 14% rise. If that happens that will be an improvement on the last number. Ever since the data peaked in December 2009, it is on a steady decline.

As far as the US markets go, we are not reading too much into the 273-point rally in the Dow. A study of the benchmark since the year 2000 reveals that whenever the Index rises more than 200 points, the Index falls on an average 15 points the next day. For the current year, there have been 3 other instances and it has fallen on an average 50 points the next day. You cant really read too much into this and is not something which is extra ordinary. The chances of a reversal are higher the next day.

While the Nifty’ surge may be capped in the region of 5150-5170, the mid-caps could do well. Road stocks like IRB or Gujarat Apollo may do well on the back of new projects being sanctioned. Indian Hotels and Prakash Industries look well placed.

BANKNIFTY
Current level: 9,346,
Target level: 9,200

The index tested a strong resistance today at around the 9,350-9,375 mark and failed to break it. Several banking majors such as ICICI, SBI and IDBI closed weak. The index could take another plunge sometime tomorrow and may have a downside till around 9,200. Keep a stop loss at 9,375 and go short with an initial target of 9,275. Below that, reset the target to 9,200 and reset the stop loss to 9,300.

BHARTI AIRTEL
Current price: Rs 285,
Target price: Rs 300

The stock could have an upside till around the 300-mark if it passes resistance at 287. It has developed an uptrend alongside volume expansion.

Keep a stop at 279 and go long increase the position between 287 and 290. Start booking profits above 295 and clear the position by 300.

If the scrip drops below 276, it could slide till 260 so, consider a short trade.

RELINFRA
Current price: Rs 1,121,
Target price: Rs 1,165

The stock has reversed from a downtrend and risen on high volumes. The target projection on the basis of the chart patterns would suggest a rise till 1165-1170 levels. But, there's a fair amount of resistance between 1,120 and 1,130, and a significant potential downside. Keep a stop at 1,110 and go long. Increase the position between 1130 and 1,140 and book profits beyond 1,165. If the 1,110 stop is broken, the scrip could react till 1,070.

Trading in KPIT frozen as stock hits upper circuit

Trading in shares of KPIT Infosystems was frozen at the upper end of the 20% intra-day circuit filter, after there were only buyers in the stock. Last week, the company had formed an equal joint venture with Bharat Forge for a hybrid technology designed to improve fuel efficiency of vehicles.

According to a note by domestic broking firm Paid Leave (PL), the joint venture is targeting revenues of Rs 300-500 in FY12, with an operating margin of 15-18%. But PL thinks this is a very conservative estimate. Strangely, PL has assigned an ‘accumulate’ rating to the stock, instead of a full-fledged ‘buy’ rating.

Leading domestic broking house Info Lion is said to have been a big buyer in the stock, though it couldn’t be ascertained if it was making the purchases on behalf of its institutional or non-institutional clients. KPIT shares closed at Rs 129.50 on the NSE, with nearly 77 lakh shares being traded. Less than a fifth of that volume resulted in delivery.

Fatpipe extends IPO bid date on low turnout

The initial public offer of Fatpipe Networks has been extended till Monday due to a low investor turnout. The company has also changed the price band of the issue from Rs 82-85 to Rs 80-85, according to merchant bankers. The issue was subscribed just 0.7 times.

According to brokers, a couple of HNIs and an institutional buyer, who had invested in the IPO, wanted to back out from the bidding process. However, merchant bankers of the issue denied any such incident.

“Investors have not backed out of the issue. The only problem we faced was when one bid came in past the IPO subscription deadline,” said a senior official of Keynote Corporate Services, the banker to the issue.

Outlicensing deal hopes trigger rally in Orchid Chem

Shares of Orchid Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals rose nearly 3% to Rs 144.35 with good volumes on Wednesday. The buzz is that some traders have taken up positions ahead of the company’s press conference on Thursday, anticipating some positive announcement. They are hoping the company may announce an outlicensing deal. When contacted, a senior company official declined to comment on market speculation.

Tech view: Strength above 5053

As expected the bulls tried to fight back, however, global cues once again played spoilsport. The European markets which weakened in late noon deals, forced our markets to pare gains. The Sensex finally ended with a gain of 40-odd points at 16,658. The NSE Nifty was up 13 points at 5,000.

As things stand, the markets are trapped in an extremely narrow band - within the 20-days and 50-days DMA (Daily Moving Averages). In case of Sensex it is 16,650-16,840 and on Nifty 4997-5053. Longer the markets trade below the short-term moving averages, difficult it would get for them to bounce back. Hence one needs to watch the 20-days DMA as key reference point for future trend.

Today, the Nifty is likely to find support around 4,975-4,955, while face resistance around 5,025-5,045.




TRADING DESK

Yes Bank
Current Price: Rs 279,
Target Price: Rs 292

The stock has seen a correction to a key support. It appears to be in an inter-mediate uptrend. It has the potential to bounce till 290-295 levels in the next upmove, which could be tomorrow. Keep a stop at 276 and go long. Increase the position between 284 and 286, and start booking profits above 290. If the stop at 275 is broken however, the stock could fall till 269 and below that, 263.

Tata Motors
Current price: Rs 728,
Target Price: Rs 710

The stock is seeing heavy selling beyond the 730-mark. It has a likely downside till 705-710 level and it should test support at the top end of that band as a minimum target. Keep a stop at 735 and go short. Increase the position below 720 and reset the stop loss to 724. Clear the position below 710. Note that if 735 is exceeded, the stock could jump to 750. So consider going long if the stop is broken.

Nifty
Current price: 5,000.3,
Target Price: NA

The index is at key support. If its trades below 4,975, it could fall all the way till 4,800. On the upside, there's serious resistance at 5050 and above but if that is broken, a rise till 5,175 is possible. Two option spreads are tempting with a 2 session perspective. A long 5,100c (59) and short 5,200c (25) costs 34 and pays a maximum of 66. A long 4,900p (71) and short 4,800p (49) costs 22 and pays a maximum of 78. The bearspread has the better ratio.

Blame it on BoR merger, ICICI Bank sheds 3% Shares of ICICI Bank shed 3% to Rs 842.20 on Monday, leading the decline in banking stocks. According to dealers, a foreign institutional investor, which bought a sizeable chunk in the bank in the past month or so, was a seller on the stock. ICICI Bank has been in news recently after its decision to merge Bank of Rajasthan with itself, a move that was not appreciated by many in the market. Investors fear the move could hurt the bank’s asset quality. PSU insurer buys Essar Oil on price deregulation hopes A large PSU insurance major is believed to have been mopping up shares of Mumbai-based Essar Oil in the past few sessions. Brokers said that the insurance firm was a big buyer in the stock on Monday, though the stock closed 1% lower at Rs 127. According to dealers, market participants were anticipating some positive development on deregulation of fuel price. This could have helped the company in getting some relief in expanding their fuel retailing. The company has recently announced its plans to raise up to $300 million by issue of FCCBs in one or more tranches, on preferential offer basis to promoter company, Essar Energy Holdings to part finance its scaling up of Jamnagar refinery capacity by 25% to 3,75,000 barrels and increasing its complexity. Fairfield gains 14% on delisting hopes Shares of Fairfield Atlas rose 13.9% to Rs 55 on Monday on speculation the recent government rules on minimum public shareholding requirement would prompt the company to consider delisting. Promoters hold 83.91% in the company. Reliance Capital Trustee is one of the key FIs in the company with a 8.46% stake. The buzz is that Fairfield’s promoters are not in favour of diluting their stake in the company for meeting the new rules, while Reliance Capital is unwilling to sell its stake in an open offer, if any. Grapevine has it that Reliance Capital is not ready to tender shares around this level, as its average purchase price of this stock has been ‘much higher’. In 2007, TH Licensing Inc, the company’s promoters, had made an open offer to buy all of public shareholding at Rs 81 per share, but was not successful as Reliance Capital did not participate in the open offer.

Euro crisis may dampen market sentiment

Euro crisis may dampen market sentiment

MUMBAI: Shares could weaken on Monday and then trade in a range of around 200 points on the Nifty for the rest of the week, say brokers. The latest bad news from Europe, this time from Hungary, jolted world markets on Friday. US shares tumbled after the unemployment number for May was higher than market estimates. These developments will affect the sentiment for Indian shares, which have had a good run over the past few sessions. Just when it seemed that the sovereign debt crisis in Greece was under control, the new government in Hungary said that its public finances were in a bad shape than estimated and that the country had only a slim chance of avoiding a debt crisis. “Sentiment rather than fundamentals will drive share prices in the short term,” said Apurva Shah, vice-president & head-research, institutional equity, Prabhudas Lilladhar. “India is much better placed than most other economies, but its shares can not be immune to the turmoil in world markets,” he added. Brokers expect foreign funds to persist with their selling-spree should the situation in Europe worsen. In May alone, foreign funds net-sold around Rs 9,700 crore. Technical analysts expect the Nifty to face resistance in the 5150-5175 band, but don’t see the index falling below 4,800 in the near term. The meteorological department’s (Met) prediction of a normal monsoon and expectations of healthy corporate earnings for the current quarter will cushion the fall, market participants said. Benchmark indices will take cues from the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) due this week. Also Read → FIIs shift from equities to debt, buy bonds worth Rs 2,450 cr → IPO-bound companies may take private-equity deals detour → Sebi goes slow on licence to funds from Mauritius → NSE set to launch futures contract in S&P 500 “We will see double-digit growth in manufacturing and the overall industrial growth is expected to be good, because of favourable base effect,” says Sujan Hajra, chief economist, Anand Rathi Financial Services. Investors expect shares of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and pharmaceutical companies to be in demand, as these stocks are relatively steady in a volatile market.

Morning Calls

Nifty may get strong support at 4800 level

Once again consensus has failed in the market. The 4200 and 4300 put build-up, especially after a buy figure of FIIs in the index options segment, has raised many eyebrows. Shorting was certainly not advisable around 4800, as it was a strong support, but we didn’t recommend buying either. There was a strong wave of negative sentiments in the market, as even from a bounceback to 5100 during end-May didn’t result in a significant fall in implied volatility. Then, we had another 200-point fall and now back to 5100. But this time, IVs have fallen to 23.95%. These changes will certainly divide the participants on where the market is heading. We still belong to the sell on the rise camp. In this bounceback, too, we are not seeing any meaningful formation of long positions or a significant cash-based buying by FIIs. There is still a lot of room in the form of open interest, at least in index futures to form fresh shorts by participants and still it won’t be in the oversold zone. We have seen a lot of selling calls of strike 5100 and 5200, which have not seen any significant unwinding in them. This zone is a strong resistance. So, we won’t suggest any buying in the index now. Though not in the beginning of this series, but now, 4800 is emerging as strong support. As of now, it seems that the market may get stuck into the range of 4800-5200 and we are heading towards a higher side of the range. For next few days, we expect the market to consolidate and in this phase of consolidation, mid-caps and small-caps may outperform major indices.

Some foreign institutions, in the past few sessions, have been buyers in telecom shares, which have been among the best performers in the week so far. The market buzz is that a US fund, which has stakes in United Spirits and Cox & Kings, bought sizeable chunks of Idea Cellular recently. Idea shares closed at Rs 55.85, up 4.5% on Thursday. Some foreign investors, including the fund managed by a star fund manager of yesteryear — before he was tripped up in a regulatory probe — are speculated to have bought shares of Bharti Airtel recently. On Thursday, the stock rose 1.2% to Rs 273.50. Brokers said many investors are of the view that telecom stocks are unlikely to fall below their lows touched recently. With the buzz of a stake sale in Reliance Communications growing louder, investors are betting that telecom shares will command better valuations hereon. Pvt insurers lap up ONGC ahead of EGoM meet Priavte insurance companies are believed to have mopped up shares of Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) on Thursday. The stock rose 2.4% to Rs 1,210.75 on Thursday. The buying has come ahead of the meeting of the Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) on June 7, when oil price deregulation could be discussed. The market is betting that the government could decide on deregulating oil prices, if not fully. ONGC is believed to have met investors and trade on Thursday, a day after the bulk deal of 39.2 lakh shares. The stock closed at Rs 560.10, down 0.8%, with less than 50,000 shares being traded on both exchanges combined. On Wednesday, GPC Mauritius II LLC, a subsidiary of Greater Pacific Capital Partners, had sold its 4.8% stake in the company to a clutch of institutional buyers. Only GMO Emerging Market Fund’s name (the fund bought 7.8 lakh Torrent shares) showed up in the disclosure on the BSE website. Dealers tracking the stock say the Icy Icy Mutual Fund, Kala Patthar Mutual Fund and the South-based Satyam Shivam ... were the other prominent buyers of the stock. However, since these fund houses bought shares across various schemes, their names did not show up on the buyer’s list. Contributed by Nishanth Vasudevan & Santosh Nair

Nifty Support at 4900; Below that 4800-4700 Possible

Nifty trade may remain range-bound

The Nifty June series’ open interest is about 2.83 crore shares, slightly greater than the open interest of the May series on the first Tuesday level of 2.78 crore shares.

Overall rollover data indicate the relatively poor level of participation from market participants. However, global cues will continue to influence domestic indices.

A move below the lower support of 4900 may see the index decline to 4700 levels. The Nifty basis remained in the discount and finally closed at a discount of 30 points. However, 15 points from it can be attributed to declared dividends which go ex-dividend in June. Put-call ratio of open interest increased and closing at 1.36 levels, indicating put writing in OTM strikes. Options’ open interest saw an addition of positions in OTM strikes.

The option concentration shifted to the 5100-strike call option with an open interest of above 58 lakh shares followed by 4800-strike put option with above 58 lakh shares in open interest. Above option concentration indicates toward the range of 4800-5100 in the near term.

The implied volatility (IV) of call options increased and closed higher at 26.50% on Tuesday, while the average IV of put options ended at 28.65% indicating some buying interest in ATM put options.

The Nifty is expected to remain in the range of 4800-5100 and only a breach below this range will drag the index to lower support of 4700. Sectorally realty and metals stocks observed short positions, while banking and sugar has seen long unwinding and Fertiliser stocks has seen long addition.

Post non-compete clause, RIL to invest in power sector

****************************

Heard on the street

TRIL rises as Siemens seen keen on stake buy Market talk that power major Siemens India is likely to pick up a stake in Transformers & Rectifiers (India) (TRIL) has seen the company’s share price move from Rs 405 on May 27 to its current level of Rs 416 on Tuesday. The buzz on Dalal Street is that law firm Amarchand Mangaldas is doing the due diligence for the company. When contacted, TRIL’s CMD Jitendra U Mamtora denied any such move and termed it as market speculation. An email sent to Siemens India elicited the response that the company does not comment on market speculation. Analysts maintain that TRIL, which recently expanded capacity by three times, is expected to register good growth for FY10-11. The company has a decent order book and the company’s growth will be driven by large-scale demand for power and distribution transformers in India actuated by the huge power generation capacity addition plans. Tech Mahindra gets support from a local MF Institutional buying interest was seen in select IT firms in a falling market on Monday. The buzz is that a domestic mutual fund owned by a large business conglomerate in the financial services sector was a buyer in Tech Mahindra. On the BSE, the stock closed at Rs 637.65, up marginally by 0.20% supported by above average volumes, but has lost more than 15% in the past one month. Analysts maintain that sustained volume traction from non-British telecom clients would generate higher revenues and margin improvement, coupled with positive news flow on client retention, new deal wins and favourable settlement with Upaid, provide comfort on the future business prospects. The stock is also trading at attractive valuations compared to peers and has a “buy” from most broking firms. Ratnesh Kumar may join StanC as equities head There is more churn taking place in the local broking industry. Ratnesh Kumar, CEO of institutional equity at Anand Rathi, is said to be moving out of the firm. He is tipped to join Standard Chartered as the head of equities. The buzz is that a few senior colleagues of Ratnesh Kumar at Anand Rathi Securities may also follow him. Ratnesh Kumar was roped in by Anand Rathi in 2008 to build the institutional equity business. ******************************************** Mcleod Russel Cairn India Indraprastha Gas Mercator Lines Bajaj Electricals Gujarat NRE Coke, Suzlon Energy, JP Associates BGR Energy Systems Jyoti Structures Gayatri Projects Tulip Telecom PVR Cinemas United Phosphorus Src: Economictimes and DP blog and etc.
