Buoyed by better-than-expected US data, markets across the globe had a positive week during the week ended. Ignoring the surge in food inflation and flood situation in many parts of the country, benchmark indices closed at a 32-month high.
On the BSE, the Sensex surged towards 19,000-levels closing at 18,800 gaining 579 points and the Nifty on the NSE ended 161 points higher at 5,640. The indices are now only 11 per cent below their all-time high. Market breadth continued to be positive with heightened activity in many midcap and smallcap counters. Stick to stocks that have stood the test of time.
Weekend IIP numbers were pleasant surprise with exceptional performance from capital goods sector. Despite the base effect, analysts feel that the economy is slowly inching towards high-growth path.
However, the faster-than-expected growth has also revived expectations of monetary tightening by RBI in its next review. Barring any surprises from the global front, advance tax numbers and expectations over second quarter numbers may determine near term direction of markets.
For the week ahead, chartists predict a trading range of 18,520 and 19,180 for the Sensex and 5,500 and 5,780 for the Nifty. Strong resistance can come at 18,960 and 19,100 and 5,685 and 5,740. Immediate supports are at 18,670 and 18,540 and 5,610 and 5,560. Stock markets are becoming more and more volatile. The stock market reacts to breaking news by shooting stock prices higher one day, then pounding them lower the next. So, be flexible.
FUTURES & OPTIONS
Mirroring the strong bullish undertone, robust volumes were seen in the derivative segment. Sentiment indicators like open interest, implied volatility, put/call ratio and VIX reflect a positive undercurrent. Open interest build up in the Nifty5700 strike opti-ons reflects bullish trend in the market currently.
Metal stocks are back in the limelight. Tata Steel, JSPL and Hindalco look good for targets of Rs 650, Rs 800 and Rs 210 in next few weeks. Capital goods stocks BHEL, L&T, Crompton Greaves, BGR Energy, Voltas and Cummins can touch targets of Rs 2,650, Rs 1,975, Rs 340, Rs 900, Rs 255 and Rs 800 in the near term.
US restrictions on outsourcing is unlikely to hurt IT majors significantly. Analysts feel that present sloganeering is only for election gains. Accumulate on declines good counters like Infosys, TCS, HCL Tech and Wipro. Disclosure of Satyam’s restated results may give fillip to stock price of Tech Mahindra.
Led by SBI, banking counters were on a roll. Further gains are likely in BOI, BOB, Corporation Bank, ICICI Bank, IDBI Bank, Kotak Bank, Federal Bank and PNB. Ride the boom in the sector with trailing stop loss.
Neglected sectors such as fertilisers, sugar and paper are getting a‘re-look’ from savvy punters. Stories of decontrol, price revisions are doing rounds. Adopt buy on rumour; sell on news strategy. Among the stocks looking good are Chambal Fertiliser, Dabur, Godrej Industries, HCC, IDFC, Noida Toll, Piramal Health, Opto Circuits, United Spirits and Onmobile.
A good trader need to have — A chronic inability to accept things at face value, to feel continuously unsettled, and to have humility.

Markets ended in red for the third week in a row in the weekend following global worries on fiscal deficits of euro zone countries, continuous rise in food inflation and tepid response to NTPC FPO.
On the BSE, the Sensex shed 442 points to end below 16,000-level at 15,916 and the Nifty on the NSE closed 115 points lower at 4,767.
As expected market breadth continued to remain weak and jittery investors were seen cutting positions.
Sources suggest an aggressive policy action from the government to control inflation. The worst is over on inflation front.
Watch out for expectations over the Union Budget to spot likely beneficiary industries. Sources say stimulus packages will not be trimmed to a large extent and only minor tinkering is on cards. Weekend rebound in US markets from lower levels may trigger a relief rally from current levels.
For the week ahead, chartists predict a trading band of 15,550 and 16,420 for the Sensex and 4,540 and 4,960 for the Nifty.
Experts do not expect the indices to breach the 200-day moving averages at 15,530 and 4,650 levels easily and expect a mild recovery rally from current levels. Avoid aggressive shorts at current levels. Initiate fresh positions if indices sustain above 16,300 and 4,840 levels on closing basis.
You cannot tell how expensive a stock is. A stock’s value is depends on its earnings — a Rs 100 stock can be cheap if the firm’s earnings prospects are high, while a Rs 10 stock can be expensive if earnings potential is dim.
Futures & Options
High intra-day volatility is back and becoming a way of life for derivatives traders.
Overall open interest has again crossed Rs 1 lakh crore mark to settle at Rs 1,09,000 crore on Friday. As expected Nifty holds top position with 66 per cent share of the total. Contrarians tip buying of Nifty4,900 call option for unexpected returns in pre-budget rally.
Jittery market players were seen unwinding positions in bank, auto, realty and metal stocks. Punters suggest buying in SAIL, Tata Steel, Unitech, DLF and Nalco for relief rally gains. Among the stock futures looking good in an otherwise weak market are Asian Paints, Tata Power, Opto Circuits, Triveni, Essar Oil, Cummins, Mphasis and Petronet.
Buy oil marketing companies — IOC, BPCL and MRPL — for surprising returns. Side counters such as HCC, Punj Lloyd, JP Hydro and CESC are witnessing accumulation from savvy players.
Buy HCC for a target price of Rs 150 in the settlement. For the pre-budget trading, punters expect action in fertiliser, capital goods and power stocks. Buy Tata Power, Reliance Power and CESC at current levels.
Fallout from the luke warm response to the FPO of NTPC likely to be short lived. Buy strong PSU counters in the current weakness. Punters tip Engineers India, Power Finance and REC for short term.
Investors need to have realistic expectations. When expectations are too high, it results in overtrading underfinanced positions and very high levels of greed and fear, which makes objective decision-making impossible.

Although the market remained at high and the F&O indication are also suggesting bullishness, a lot will depend on the activity in the foreign market in the absence of any major domestic triggers. The market may continue its growth momentum citing global market. Also in the absence of any global or domestic triggers some sideway moment is expected during the proceeding days. The nervousness among retail investors still persists as evident from their lack of participation in the recent rally.
