Market extending stay at 5200 - February 1, 2012

The Indian stock markets had yet another stellar rally today after the markets decided that Nifty extend its stay at the critical 5200 region. The SENSEX closed at 17300.58 gaining 107.03 (0.62%) while the NIFTY reaffirmed its position and closed at 5235.70 gaining 36.45 (0.70%) points. With this, the immediate pull back is ruled out unless 5300 or even may be 5400 is touched, atleast as per technical charts.

The CNX Midcap closed at 7188.40 gaining 87.85 (1.24%) and the BSE Smallcap ended at 6573.58 adding 110.28 (1.71%) points in trade today. Some experts say that much better longs are building in the midcap space now and that this is the reason for the longer stay of the markets in the stable region.

Of course, not all credit is to the Indian markets. The global economy in general is stable with no specific negative news. The Europe supported well and so did US markets. In fact, this is one of the strong reason why the Indian market closed in the positive. There is indeed volatility in our markets but the actual conquering and cementing its stay in the positive territory was made possible for the Indian markets only after the European markets have opened.

Mahindra Satyam announced good set of Q3 numbers. CP Gurnani gave the credit to BFSI projects and the rupee depreciation helped. The results came out after the markets have closed. Hence, we can expect some positive move in the script tomorrow.

Auto sales numbers have come and they appear to be good. Except for the decline in the tractor numbers of M&M, the sales figures of Tata Motors and Maruti are nice.

The Economic Times was reporting that Core Projects leads race to acquire Aptech. Aptech closed at Rs. 90.45 gaining 2.80 (3.19%) with a volume of 40.65k shares traded.

Carlyle sold 2 cr shares of HDFC at Rs 677/share on the BSE. HDFC was under pressure today and closed at Rs. 688.90 down Rs. 8.95 (-1.28%) with a volume of 4.96m shares traded.

Reversal of course? - Jan 18, 2012

The markets closed flat today after a stellar rally yesterday. The SENSEX closed at 16451.50 down 14.55 (-0.09%) while the NIFTY closed at 4955.80 slipping 11.50 (-0.23%).

While Reliance Industries closed up, TCS which announced good numbers yesterday took a beating today. Experts believe the current stock price already is factoring its potential near-future growth and that a target of Rs. 1200 is max for the script, atleast in the next 12 months time frame.
