Who care’s whats happening with Libya……

No one cares about the International markets when our markets are doing good.

Everyone’s forgotten about Gadaffi, after the Japan sinked by the Tsunami. Researchers feel that there is a lot of buying opportunity in Japan. Japan will soon regain its strength. But what has triggered buying in Indian markets. Crude which was a major concern in the last 2 weeks, commodities is still at their peak. Inflation is almost there at its highest levels. Still no outcome for the pranksters which are held in the scams. Then why have the Indian markets turned positive suddenly.

It might be just a technical reason. Indian markets in the last few months have been in the downtrend. Since the start of this year indices gave negative returns of almost 15-18%. Nifty from the high of 6200 tanked down to make a low of almost 5200 levels. Sensex made a low of 17295 from the high of 20650 odd levels. At 5200 levels Nifty was trading in the oversold zone. Currently the Nifty is at 5650 and Sensex at 18800.

Indices have almost bounce 10% from their lows but the stocks are still way below their peaks. Midcap stocks are struggling hard to reach up to their 50% crashed mark. Select Largecap stocks have helped markets to regain strength.

Real Estate stocks have been performing very badly on the brousers. The growing inventory has proved bad for the stocks. House registration is down almost 35-40%. But the prices are still to collapsed. Coming next financial year prices should cool off.

Portugal might have no alternative to accepting a financial rescue from the EU and the International Monetary Fund after the parliament rejected severe austerity measures.

Technically Nifty bounced back from it’s over sold zone and made a recent high of 5667. Nifty is just few points below its 200DMA. Nifty on Thursday has given breakout. Nifty close above the trendline. On Friday Nifty and Sensex both opened with a gap. 5600 has been a very crucial levels to cross over. In the last two occasions also Nifty did try to close above the same but could not do so. Finally on Friday markets opened with a gap and close above the 5600 levels. Nifty will face resistance at 5690 levels. On Friday, Nifty closed above its 50% retracement levels also. Close above 5690 will take the Nifty to 5726-5747 levels. Nifty will support levels at 5624-5590.

This writer had advice to buy Silver on every levels right from the $16 levels. And now it’s at $36. I would still advice my readers to buy Silver with a long term prospective. None of the commodities will give better returns as this one…… Buy buy buy…..

Oils Not WELL with the Indian markets


Oil rose over $114 a barrel as fighting intensified in Libya, and OPEC said it saw no need to old an emergency meeting on ease supply fears. Heavy fighting in Libya had forced the shut down of one of its biggest refineries. The Zaiyah refinery is the biggest provider of gasoline in Libya, and has a total capacity of 120000 barrels per day. Finally at all this pain OPEC has decided to raise the oil output. Leading OPEC producer Saudi Arabia is already pumping more oil – upto 9 million barrels per day. The rise in the crude oil price will surely effect the Indian government who has done their Fiscal math. Oil marketing companies in India are already making a loss of around Rs.450Cr a day.

Spain has been downgrade once again. According to the estimate, Spain will need as much as Euro 50 bn ($ 69 bn) to meet new capital requirements. Spain has taken unprecedented measures to avoid following Greece & Ireland into a bailout, implementing the deepest budget cuts in three decades, As European leaders negotiate a reinforced rescue effort, Spain is tightening capital requirements for banks in a bid to show investors that its lenders can weather a 4th year of economic slump. China reported an unexpected $7.3bn trade deficit, the biggest in seven year.

IIP data for the month of Jan is at 3.7% vs 1.6% in Dec. Manufacturing Rises 3.3%. Mining Output Rises 1.6% In January. Electricity Production Rises 10.5%. Consumer Goods Production Rises 11.3%. India’s exports jumped 50% in Feb. Indian crossed the $200bn target for the fiscal year. Inflation dropped down to its 3 month low at 9.52% as compared to 10.39% in the week before.

Crude at the start of the week continued its upward move but cooled down at the end of the week. Silver once again made its all time high of almost Rs.55000. Investors are still advice to buy Silver at all the levels.

Japan has been hit by one of the worst Tsunami’s in the recent times. Stock markets tanked in the late hours of the last session. Nifty and Sensex closed down nearly 2%. Oil & Gas sector indices was the only sector which managed to close in green by 1%. Rest of the Indices closed down in Red. Capital Goods, Metal & IT Index tanked nearly 3% each. Auto & Bankex closed down 2%.

Few midcaps had their jolly time on the brousers. Tata coffee jumped almost 50% in a single week. Oswal chem. Rallied 36%, while Apollo tyre surged 12%. Most of the frontline stocks tanked in the week leading to a fall in the Indian markets. Bpcl sinked 6.3%, Sbi 5%, Tcs -6%, Lnt & Maruti nearly 4%. Tata Stell 6, Bhel 5.5%. In the mid cap Educomp tanked the most by 11%, GVK 6.5%, Renuka by 3.8%.

The rally in the start of the week showed great strength and it felt the worst may be soon over. But the markets tanked on the last 2 session, Nifty closed down at 5445 levels. Nifty is trying really hard to close above its 50% retracement levels. It did close above the same for a day but the next day again the markets tanked that failed the consecutive close of the Nifty above the same. On the last day of the trading session Nifty closed just near to its 20DMA.

Nifty after making a low of 5177 on 11th Feb bounced back sharply to make a high of 5608 in the last week. But again close down at 5445 levels. Close above its 50% retracement levels can prove to be good, but till that time the markets will remain bearish.

All Credit goes to Gadaffi…

The fear can be seen in the market prior to the Budget session that will be conducted on Monday. FII have been selling in the Indian markets since last few trading sessions. Not only has this had the Libya issues taken most of the emerging markets for a toss. Fear of more civil war has impacted the global markets. Libya being the 12th largest Oil export is been in trouble since last few weeks. All thanks to the ruler Muammar Gadaffi. Crude oil has shoot up $100 a barrel. Brent crude is nearly $120 a barrel.

Consumer confidence rose to a 3yr high in Feb. but the home prices for the 6th month in row in Dec suggests that the economy still faces significant hurdles. The expectations rose to its highest level to 95.1, its highest level since Dec 2006, From 87.30.

Nifty and Sensex tanked nearly 3% in a week. Midcap and Smallcap were badly hit during the fall. Both the index fell more than 4%. The entire sector index closed in red. Capital good Index fell more than 6% while bankex, Reality and Healthcare Index fell down nearly 4.5%. Automobile Index lost 5.3%. After the Rail budget most of the rail related stocks fell heavily. Kalindee rail & Titagarh Wagon lost 20% while Texmaco lost 11%. Sesagoa, Bpcl & Dlf lost 8% each. M&M, Lnt, Tata Motor, Sbi, Rcom lost in the range of 6 – 7.5% each. Bhel, Ntpc, Jaiprakash & Hdfc Bank lost nearly 5.5% each.

In the stocks Aurobindo was one of the major looser which lost 25%. Mphasis after its results update fell 32%. Orchidchem by 11%.

ADAG stocks were in the limelight. All negative rumors flew in the market about Anil Ambani.

Oil jumped to the highest in more than two years in New York as intensifying violence in Libya stoked concern that supplies from the holder of Africa’s largest crude reserves may be disrupted. Brent crude may trade in the range of $105-110 in the unrest continues. As Libya continues to simmer, the whole world is waiting to see if the crisis will spread to other oil producing nations in West Asia. Analysts estimate that as many as a million barrel if Libyan oil a day have been removed from world markets in recent days, and investors fear that more oil production could be disrupted if the unrest spreads to other crucial producing nations, like Algeria.

Finally the Indian government has taken front seat to punish the culprits in the 2G & CWG scams.

Highlights of Economic Survey 2010 – 11 • Economy expected to grow at 8.6% in 2010-11 and 9 per cent in next fiscal • Growth broad based with rebound in Agriculture, continued momentum in manufacturing and private services • Fundamentals strong with Savings & Investments up, exports rising rapidly and inflation falling • Agriculture likely to grow at 5.4% in 2010-11; • Industrial output grows by 8.6% ; manufacturing sector registers 9.1% • Exports in April-December 2010 up by 29.5 % • Imports in April – December 2010 up by 19% • Trade gap narrowed to US $ 82.01 bn in April-December 2010 • 59% rise in Net Bank Credit • Social program spending stepped up by 5 percentage points of GDP over past 5 years • 9.7% growth of GDP at market prices.

Monday’s the day when most of the Indian people will have their head in the Idiot box. Not even Indian’s; FII’s too will be looking for the ‘Budget day’.

Some of the expectation from the Budget 2011.
· Possibility of the hike in Excise duties- Negative for Automobile.
· Import duty may be cut- Positive for Coal.
· Expect increase in Central Excise duty – Negative for Engineering
· Expect increase in outlay for defense – Negative for Engineering
· Reduction in the duties on crude oil – Positive for Oil sector
· Expect higher Plan allocation to power sector & housing and provision of basic amenities – Positive for Metal.
· Expect continuation of Technology upgradation Fund Scheme – Positive for IT
· Expect reduction in import duty – Positive for Textile.

The last article which I had written was on 5th Feb 2011. Nifty was trading at 5395. I had mentioned that the Nifty is controlled by the Bears. (Nifty will find support at 5348 but close below the same will take the Nifty to 5232 levels directly) Nifty Friday made a low of 5232 and closed at 5303. In the chart we can see that the Nifty closed below the 61% retracement level on Friday. Close below the same will a kind of a blood bath in the Indian markets. In the fall of the 2008 nifty bounced back but could not cross the resistance at 5232-5250 levels and we all know what the impact was. Nifty might come down to 4800 levels also. This target will be only in the extreme case which can be achieved. With all the bad rumors I don’t think that the Nifty will turn up so soon.

Now its Egypt’s turn

The political unrest in Egypt, which threatens to destabilize the oil rich Gulf region, fuelled a rally in oil and Gas exploration company shares on Monday. Markets men expects rally to continue for couple of more days. The higher crude prices will be beneficial to Ongc, Gail, Oil, and Cairn & Ril Ind. Many Indian Fmcg companies will be surely impacted.

Nifty and Sensex have fallen by 10% 2011 ytd on concerns such as high inflation, high crude oil prices, lack of progress in govt reforms, fear of populist moves by Indian govt in the wake of 5 state elections scheduled in May. I believe that while higher inflation may be partly priced, we are yet to see significant selling by foreign institutional investors yet. FII selling can take markets down by 10%-15% more.

After the record inflow in the Indian markets last year, this year since the start has been proved bad for the individual investors. Markets have lost more than 12% in just 1 month. There have been lots and lots of bad news in the markets since the start of the New Year. Political instability fear is also there. Scams have become a routine part of our life. Sebi have cautioned traders or investors to trade carefully in nearly 1900 scripts which are illiquid. 2G scam has roped in many others company which has been tangled with Mr.Raja.

FII have already sold equities worth $1053.50 mn in Jan and continued selling in Feb too. Increasing number of scams in the listed company and the political instability has been the major reason why the FII have been turned sellers in the Indian markets. Rupee depreciated 2.3% vis-à-vis the US dollar this year. In the last few articles this writer had mentioned that these will the main reason why the FII will the selling Indian equities.

Prices of crude oil have gone up to $92 which was around $85 earlier in the weak. It is likely to reach $100 and may be above.

Global markets have been rallying since last week. Dow Jones closed above 12000 for the fist time since 2008. New US claims for unemployment benefits fell sharply last week. Growth in the US services sector in Jan was the fastest in more than 5 yrs. Another sign the economy is started the New Year on a solid grounds. But Indian markets remained lackluster with low volumes and sinked nearly 10-12% since start of the New Year.

This weak Indian markets tanked nearly 2.2%. All the indices have closed in red. IT & Auto index lost nearly 3%. Fmcg and Reality index were the major looser. The index lost more than 6% in a weak.

Inflation is the major concern for the government now. To tackle the inflation the bank rates have to be increased once again in the near future. Reality sector have lost their shine as the sales have nose dive in the last few months. Prices in some places have risen too fast and too much and its out of the reach of the common people. Increase in bank lending rate will surely have an impact on the pockets of the common people.

Finally the Nifty closed below 5400 levels. Nifty did try to close above its 50% retracement levels but failed to do the same. Thursday Sensex surged more than 300 points but the gains were washed out on the every next day. Sensex dropped more then 475 points. Sensex and Nifty close down nearly 2.2% in a week.

This writer have been constantly mentioning that if Nifty closes below the 5700 levels than the next good support is at 5400 only in between there will be small supports. This week Nifty closed below its 5400 after a ‘DEAD CAT BOUNCE’ of 350 points on Thursday. Nifty is still below its 200DMA. This week for the first time nifty close below its 200DMA in last 5 months. Nifty will find support at 5348 but close below the same will take the Nifty to 5232 levels directly. 5348 is a 61% retracement levels.

Viewers can see that Nifty is trading in line with the Fibonacci Retracement levels. RSI is now in the oversold zone.

This article was written on 27th Jan and the levels mentioned are based on the 27thJan levels.

Nifty continued its downward movement. This week as the Nifty ended its Jan F&O series, Nifty spot fell below the long term support levels of 5700 once again. Nifty and Sensex lost more than 8% in the Jan series. Most of the frontline stocks lost heavily as the Nifty slide continued. Heavyweights like Bajaj Auto lost 14%. HUL which is normally considered the stock with rock solid performance lost nearly 13%. Jsw steel and Sail shred 18% & 12% respectively. In the Reality space Unitech and DLF lost 17%. Ongc tanked more than 14% in the Jan series alone. Hdfc and Icici bank also lost in the range of 10-12%. Sterlite lost 10%.


Finally as expected FM have mentioned that the government will not be questioning the Black Money lying in the Swiss Banks. The Black money can be brought back to India with a tax payment here. I really could not calculate the benefit achieved by doing this. It seems that Indian politicians are aware of the people and the amount kept in the Swiss Banks but they do not want to disclose. This might reveal most of the highend Netas name too….


Banks which gained the most in the last week, slipped down this week on the as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Tuesday increased the key policy rates by 25 basis points (bps) each, as the central bank steps up its efforts to tackle a stubbornly high inflation at the cost of some moderation in economic growth.


The repurchase rate (repo rate) has been hiked by 25 bps to 6.50%, while the reverse repo rate has also been increased by 25 bps to 5.50%. The central bank also extended the 1% leeway in the SLR up to April 8. CRR has been left unchanged at 6%.


The inflation target for FY11 has been increased to 7% from 5.5% earlier while the GDP forecast for the current fiscal year has been kept steady at 8.5% with an upward bias.


In the last weeks article I had mentioned that the Nifty will face resistance at 5725 and levels and fall below the 5662-5639 levels may take it to 5580 levels. Nifty on the close of the Thursday’s close fell down to make a low of 5593.70 but close marginally higher above 5600 levels.


Nifty have slipped below its 38.2% retracement levels and close at 5607 after making a low of 27th Jan 2011. Nifty closed below its 200DMA. The fall will continue till 5540 levels. Close below the same will take the nifty to 5488-5400 levels. Nifty is not at all in the mood to trend upwards. Rolls have been way below the average. Volumes have been vanishing from the markets. Nifty in the short term may trigger 5400 levels.


Nifty have been in the sell mode since when it closed below the 5700 levels. These have been mentioned in my last few articles also. The above mentioned levels are just the small support levels where we might see some pull back coming and then sell off at the end. These levels are for the traders who want to take some short term positions.

Bear control. FINALLY!!


Finally the Government had given the intimation that it cannot control the inflation. HAHA how so the government realized it. After so many exports now Indian government have started importing the same thing again back in India. The big example is Onion.

Bears have totally got in control of the market. Nifty dropping and closed below 5700 and Sensex below 19000 levels for the first time since Sep 2010. This writer in the last few article has been constantly informing the readers about the impact on the market when Nifty will break below 5700 levels. Nifty finally closed below its long term support levels of 5700 and closed at 5646.

Last weeks trading session was clearly based on the technical moves. Fall from the high of 6178 on 3rd Jan 2011 which was near the long term trendline (marked in chart), nifty within few 3 trading session closed below the 23.6% retracement and the fall continued to find support at its 38.2% retracement levels as per the Fibonacci Theory.

Indian indices tanked for one of the worst levels since Sep 2010. Nifty and Sensex closed down nearly 4.5% in a week. Midcap & Smallcap Index closed down in the range of 3-4%. Capital Goods, Bankex and Real Estate index lost over 5% in week. IT Index and Metals lost around 3.5%. In the banking space Hdfc bank tumbled down more then 10%. Banking stocks lost their grounds in fear of the rate hike by RBI (informed in last article). Hdfc Ltd lost 6.4%. Ril close down 6%. Sail after its tragic fall in the Net profit closed down at its new 52 week low. Sail planning for FPO in the coming month. Kotak bank too lost 9%, Idfc 8%. Tata steel fell 6% just few days before the open of its FPO. Infosys after its lackluster results tumbled down 5% in week. All eyes are now on TCS results. Lnt lost 8%. Hdil fell 11%. Zee announced its results this week. Icici bank tanked 4%.

The Chinese government will surely be in severe pressure to devalue Yuan against Dollar after the formers trade surplus narrowed in 2010for the second straight year. China still remains the largest car producer in the world. European Central Banks threw Portugal a temporary lifeline on Monday by buying up its bonds as market and peer pressure mounted for Lisbon to seek and international bailout soon.

Industrial growth slumped to an 18 month low of 2.71% in Nov 2010 as compared to last year’s 11.3% in Nov 2009 coupled with the high inflation pressures, impact of interest rate increase and a modernization in export growth all weighed down IIP growth during the month.

In the last week Nifty close below its 23.6% retracement. Nifty in the current week decisively closed below the 5700 levels. Nifty tried to close above the long term trendline but could not do so. In the last Nifty closed below its 50DMA and continued the fall to close at 5646 levels. Nifty will find support at 5639-5590-5540. 5540 is again its 50% retracement levels. Close below the same will take the Nifty to 5400 levels. On the upside the Nifty will face resistance at 5800. Nifty will find support at is 200DMA.

Inflation burns the pocket now…

Food inflation in India has surged to 18.32%. It surged to its high peak in the last one year. Food prices last month exceeded the level of the crisis of 2008 when a dramatic rise in agricultural costs sparked riots in over 30 countries.

Sharp recovery in the last week has been suddenly wiped out with the sell off in the Indian markets. Markets tanked for nearly 4%, the most sell off came on the last day of the trading session. Last weeks sharp rise, confirmed many people that the markets are in a good mood and the run will surely continue for some time. But nothing happened like this. Markets tanked on rising inflation and to control that the RBI may hike rates before the Policy Review.

The last week’s article named “Sensex 25000” seems to be realistic but there is still more time to see the actual figure. Indian markets tanked nearly 4% in a week. Midcap and the Smallcap Indices too sinked nearly 4%. Selling in the frontline stocks by the FII and the DII triggered the sell off in the Indian markets. Frontline stocks tumbled down in the range of 5-10% in a week. The major looser was the Auto Index which lost almost 7.5%. Bajaj Auto after the downgrade by CLSA tanked almost 15%, while Tata Motors lost 9%. Hero Honda and Maruti close down nearly 6%. Real Estate and the Bankex closed down 6.5% each. DLF contributed the most to the sell off, falling almost 8%. In Banking stocks Icici and SBI shrinked in the of 7.5-8.5% range while Hdfc lost 6%. Indusind and Yes bank collapsed 14% in a single week. Capital goods Index lost 4.8 while Metals continued its downward journey in 2011 also. Metal Index sinked 3.5%. Lnt closed down6.5%. Hindalco and Sterlite Ind closed down in the range of 5.5-6%. Jindal steel lost 14%. IT Index lost 2% and Oil & Gas Index lost a percentage. Hcltech closed down 2%. Ongc & Bpcl lost almost 6%.

The possible trigger for sell off in the Global markets could be because of possible worsening of European Sovereign crisis. Chinese policy makers rising key rates to tackle the rising inflation. The stock market is highly overvalued. It follows then that stock investments are nearly guaranteed to deliver poor, long-term returns. The rally since August 2010 isn't based on sound and sustainable economic factors, but on unsound and fragile faith in the Fed's ability to inflate asset prices. Stocks are extremely overbought when momentum indicators and the number of stocks reaching new 52-week highs stay below their cyclical highs, thereby not confirming the current run up. There is a debt crisis brewing, not just in Europe, but also in Japan and the U.S. The financial sector's problems have not been solved, but only papered over with money printing. In China a huge bubble economy has developed. Since Beijing has already implemented a turn in monetary policy, this bubble is prone to pop in 2011, posing a major threat for a still very fragile global economy.

Technically speaking rise gave trigger to buying spear. But the positive divergence changed to sudden selloff and the positive divergence once again changed drastically. Nifty as mentioned in my earlier article faced resistance at 6180 and fell from the same levels. Nifty made a high of 6178.55 and low of 5883. Sensex lost more the 500 points on the single day to close at 19691.On Thursday Nifty closed below the long term trendline. On Friday Nifty once again close below its 23.6% retracement levels. Nifty tanked below its 100DMA on the last day of the trading session for the week. Nifty immediate support at 5855-5800. Close below the same at 5800 Nifty will trigger selling pressure till 5700 levels.

SENSEX 25000


I wish all the readers a “HAPPY AND A BULLISH NEW YEAR.”

In 2010 Informed investor had given me an opportunity to share my views in a conference organized at Thane and my topic was SENSEX 25000. That time the nifty was trading at 5500 odd levels and Ril Ind at 950 odd. When I started the seminar the topic raised many eyebrows about the figure. But I was successful in answering them. I had given nifty target of new high and sensex at 2500 within a year. Nifty made a high of almost 6300 levels. I hope this year we shall see new highs in market.

2010 proved to be very good for some many people but at the same time has been one of the nightmares to some. CWG scam, 2G scam and lot more are now in public. The peopled linked with the scams have surely been made a killing on their Income. No doubt if the Indian markets have just given a return of 15%, but some have turned up multiple times also. But at the same time many people have tasted dust too. Investors who are stucked up with the midcap and smallcap stocks are still trading at their lower circuit levels after their names announced in connection with the stock operators.

Indian equity markets have gained almost 15% with the highest ever FII inflow. FII inflow for 2010 totaled to $28.8bn. On the MF side saw an outflow of nearly $7bn. But Domestic Insurance saw an inflow of $11.5bn. Only Metal index gave a negative return while the other entire index gained in the range of 20-50%.

Crude prices have gained 13%. Silver has gained the most in the precious stone side. It gained nearly 80% while Gold gained just 28%. This reader had suggested buying SILVER at $16. Now it’s almost $30. The Bull Run will continue the same way with some hiccups.

China to control its rising inflation raised the Interest rates on Last Saturday, the second rise in just over two months. The Peoples Bank of China said it would increase the lending rate by 25 bps and deposit rate also by 25 bps.

Inflation in India is been a major concern since a long time. Rising commodity prices lead to the rising inflation rate. Crude Oil prices are on the run and will continue the same in the coming months. There will be no stoppage for the same, as there is no immediately alternative available in such a big quantity.

Coming month once again we will witness volatility and stock specific movements on back of Quarter 3 results. Banking stocks will be in limelight.

In the metals sector, a trader will think gold and silver will be good performer sin 2011, but industrial metals like lead, zinc, copper, nickel and aluminum are more likely outperform than others. The world is running in to potential supply shortages in copper and nickel, demand remains strong.

In precious metals, platinum is also undervalued with relation to gains of gold and silver.

Gold is up more than 28% in 2010 and silver 81% but platinum is only 16% up while copper gave gains of 24%. Investors purchased gold and silver primarily as safe havens for inflation hedge. China has been buying and maintaining stock of copper which is used in wiring, cable and plumbing has a great potential for global growth. London Metal Exchange copper future hit a new all time high in December.

An aggressive pick is crude oil, the world demands more and more. An investor will see some significant appreciation in the coming next year for such reasons. The record high price of 2008 may not be seen in the near term, but technically, crude looks bullish for the coming year. On the other side, OPEC seems happy with higher prices and doesn’t look to change production levels, where as demand from emerging markets and low interest rate environment will have lead to addition in demand in US and the world.

Technically speaking Nifty has given breakout on the upside. As mentioned in my last article that the Nifty chart has shown some positive signs. Nifty had taken good support at its 23.6% retracement levels and bounced back. Today it has closed above its long term trendline. Last week MACD has given positive divergence. And this week Indices gained. Nifty closed at 6134. Sensex closed at 20509.

Nifty will face resistance at 6145-6180 levels. It seems that the Nifty is now in a new territory and the run will continue for some more weeks. Nifty chart suggests that now it’s in the making of a “W” recovery. It has breakout above its trendline and looks firm. Nifty might in the coming weeks may cross.
