Global Cues

Congressional leaders said shortly after midnight that they had reached a tentative deal over the White House's proposed $700 billion bailout of the financial system.

Members of both parties and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson were aiming to craft final legislation by Sunday evening - in time for the start of financial markets around the world.

"We've been working very hard on this and we've made great progress toward a deal that will work and will be effective in the marketplace and effective for all Americans," Paulson said.

Paulson made the announcement along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and other legislators. They characterized the accord as an agreement in principle.

"Now it's got to be turned over to the lawyers, turned into final language," said Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D.

The Bush administration, in the government's boldest strike yet at the credit crisis, is seeking congressional authority for Treasury to buy as much as $700 billion in troubled mortgage and other assets weighing down banks and other financial institutions. The goal is to free up banks to start lending again.

Under the tentative deal being finalized, the rescue program would be overseen by a board including the Treasury Secretary, Secretary of Commerce, head of the Securities and Exchange Commission and chairman of the Federal Reserve, said Conrad, who heads the Senate Budget Committee.

According to Conrad, $700 billion would be disbursed in stages, with $250 billion made available immediately. In addition, Treasury would establish an insurance program - with premiums paid by the industry - to mitigate taxpayer losses. The bill would also likely include some curbs on the compensation of executives at companies that participate.

Markets This Week

Now after the completion of the nuclear deal, and bailout plan likely to be passed out till late Sunday night (US time), hope markets will be improving this week. But things to worsen if the US congress don’t reach to a solution.  Most likely the plan will be passed and markets are expected to have good rally on Monday.

Markets Today

 

Markets have rebounded with small rally in today's session after sharp fall seen on Tuesday and ended higher though they were off day's high. Benchmark indices saw some volatility as well ahead of F&O expiry for the month of September.

Buying was seen in metal, banking, oil, power and capital goods stocks. However, technology stocks remained under pressure throughout the day.

The Sensex rose 122.21 points or 0.9%, to settle at 13,692.52. The Nifty had managed to cross 4200 during the session but failed to sustain above that level. It closed at 4161.25, down 34.35 points or 0.83%. Both indices lost 148.29 points and 46.7 points from day's high of 13,840.81 and 4207.95, respectively.

In the F&O segment, rollovers were low; short rollovers failed to pick up. Nifty rollover was at 43.2% versus 56% and marketwide rollover stood at 50.4% versus 56%. Nifty October futures ended at a 31-point premium and September Futures ended at 28.75-point premium. Fresh long build up was seen in metals stocks; Sterlite October futures added 17 lakh shares in Open Interest. Fresh long build up was also seen in banks.

Among the frontliners, Sterlite Inds rose 8.26%, HDFC Bank 3.18%, Tata Steel 2.77%, Reliance Infra 2.22%, M&M 2.17% and NALCO 5.61%.

 

Global Cues

Oil prices rallied Wednesday as the market waits to hear from Congress about the proposed $700 bailout plan and for weekly supply data from the government.

Oil climbed $1.24 at $107.85 a barrel. On Tuesday, oil slipped $2.76 to settle at $106.61 a barrel as the market refocused on how the dour economic situation has crimped demand.

Bailout plan: The oil market has been waiting to hear from Congress about a $700 billion proposed bailout plan for beleaguered financial services companies. The debate over the rescue was very heated Tuesday.

The plan could pull oil prices higher, depending on the specific terms of the plan and depending on the economy's reaction to whatever plan is adopted.

If the bailout were passed and served to jumpstart the lethargic economy, the oil market hopes that demand for energy would recover to healthy levels. If the economy recovers and demand for oil recovers, then oil prices jump.

Market Tips

As nuclear deal is around the corner and would be finalized by tomorrow as PM Manmohan Singh is in America for ten day tour of US and France. Since deal is most likely to be done, we maintain buy on power stocks. Some of the one which are eminent are:

1.      NTPC

2.      KSK Energy

3.       BHEL

4.       RPL

Markets Today

Today can be termed as black monday in Indian market.
It was a sharp cut in Indian equities along with global markets through the day as endless credit crisis in the US financial space worries markets globally. Rate sensitives, infrastructure, oil and technology stocks witnessed huge selling pressure followed by midcap and small cap stocks. Benchmark indices crashed severely on huge volumes. But some recovery was seen in last one hour of trade led by auto and banking stocks.


Bears have been playing their role for fifth consecutive day and kept bulls under control. Financial woes are still active in the US financial space. The news of Lehman Brothers filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy has played a big role in today's session, which is one of the most reputed financial firm in the US. This news has walloped Asian and European markets as well. US markets are likely to open lower.


Lehman Brothers says no broker-dealer subsidiaries to be included in bankruptcy filing and the company is exploring sale of its broker-dealer operations. Bank of America and Barclays had showed an interest in the Lehman Brothers but backed out.

Indian benchmark indices were slaughtered severely after this news; the Sensex lost 850 points and the Nifty fell 273 points to hit an intraday low of 13,150.81 and 3955.40, respectively. The Sensex closed with a loss of 469.54 or 3.35% at 13,531.27 and the Nifty fell 155.55 points or 3.68%, to settle at 4072.90.
Some buying in auto and banking stocks has helped markets a bit in last one hour of trade. Both indices recovered nearly 380 points and 117.5 points, respectively. This recovery might be because of Crude, which touched USD 96 to a barrel and China has cut its lending rates by 27 basis Points from September 16, which also cuts its reserve requirements for small
banks by 1%.

Global Cues

Stocks plummeted Monday morning as investors contended with the largest financial crisis in years that saw Lehman Brothers file for the biggest bankruptcy in history and Bank of America buy Merrill Lynch in a $50 billion deal.
The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) lost 240 points, or 2.1%, more than an hour into the session.
The Standard & Poor's 500 (SPX) index lost 1.7% and the Nasdaq composite (COMP) lost 1%.

Lehman Bros have filed for level 11 bankruptcy.

Also crude prices have fallen significantly to 95$/barrel, down almost 5$/barrel amid reports that there is no damage to oil refineries due to hurrricane.

Today's Tip

Markets will claw back soon but experts feel that it hasnt bottomed out yet and expect more fall in coming days. Markets may bottom out around 3900-3800 levels, but these rates provides good buying oppurtunity. I would maintain my previous buying suggestions as they seems to have already bottomed out and could see windfall increase once market sentiments starts to improve. Visit previous posts to look for the stocks to be picked for buying. If one invest strategically and remains patient these share would deliver 33-75% profits in no time. Also watch for Dr. Reddy and Renuka sugar along with previous suggestions.

The Sensex has touched a low of 13,933.87, before closing down by 323.48 points or 2.26% at 14,000.81. The Nifty fell 61.85 points or 1.44%, to settle at 4228.45. It has hit an intraday low of 4200.15.

Main culprit of the day was Infosys Technologies. It dropped 6% or Rs 104.9, to settle at 1,644.10 as brokerages downgraded earnings. Infosys witnessed volumes of 465,038 shares. This was 103% higher compared to its 5-day average of 229,207 shares. It has added 26 points to this Sensex fall.

Global Clues

Stocks were volatile Friday as investors faced uncertainty about whether Lehman Brothers and Washington Mutual are likely to find buyers and whether AIG will shed its sour mortgage-related assets.

Dow Jones was down 11 pts at 11,421.

The average price of gasoline nationwide has already shot up 12 cents in the past two days to $3.795 a gallon, according to figures released by the AAA Sunday. And the average price of gas is now at or above $4 in Alaska, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and South Carolina.

In addition, Hurricane Ike could turn out to be the third-most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history, according to preliminary forecasts from a firm that does loss estimates for the insurance industry.

Market Tip

Markets are most likely to see a revival on Monday after a huge cut for 2nd day running.

There is nothing much to suggest this time around due to poor market sentiments. Keep faith in Unitech, J P Hydro, IFCI and NTPC.

Among others Bajaj Auto is a good value for money stock. Technicals has maintained buy rating on Bajaj Auto, in its report dated September 2, 2008. Total volumes increased 2.7% YoY to 200,955 units. 3-Wheelers volumes declined by 4.6% to 24,324 units and YTD de-growth of 11.5%. Based on new product launches, Bajaj expects its domestic motorcycle sales to register double digit growth in 2HFY09. Our current FY09 volume growth estimate is 3.8% for FY09, implying residual growth of 2.1%. For motor cycles, our FY09 estimate is 4% growth and implied residual growth is 0.3%. We will be upgrading our estimates. The stock trades at P/E of 10x FY09E and 8.6x FY10E. we have maintained buy rating on this.

CMP-65.15

The Stock is seen as a out performer in coming weeks and is targeted at around Rs90 within two months.

CMP – 52.30

52 week high- 143 52 week low- 38.90

Target Price- 80

3. IFCI

The stock when it reached levels of Rs30 produced shock to every technical keeping an eye on this share.
