Nifty futures test 5000 mark; Asian indices slide sharply by Venky Vembu May 7, 2012

By

Hong Kong: The blood has barely been wiped off the trading floors after last week’s tumbles on the Indian markets. But already, markets are off to another bloody start to the week.
Nifty futures are again sharply down in early trades on Monday, testing the 5000 mark on very weak global cues after election results in Greece and France over the weekend, and tepid US employment data on Friday, busted investor sentiment. (More details here.)
Listen to market audio:

All across the region, trading boards are awash in red. As at 7.30 am IST, most of the indices are down in excess of 2 percent. Tokyo, returning from a holiday, is down the hardest, playing catch-up with last week’s falls: it’s now down in excess of 2.5 percent. Hong Kong is down about 2 percent, and Sydney about 1.5 percent. Shanghai is faring the best of the lot, down only about 0.2 percent.
We’re probably looking at sharp losses when markets open in Mumbai today. Reuters
Nifty futures are down nearly 1.5 percent, and are just a notch above the 5000 mark. This likely means that the Indian market will open with sharp losses to add to Friday’s fall.
Back home, the debate on the Finance Bill gets going today, and investors will be looking for clues from Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee that the retrospective taxation proposals he announced in the Budget will be rolled back. The taxation proposal in the Vodafone case, and other similar cases, has unnerved investors, already reeling from the effect of an economy that’s slowing down. There’s been some speculation that the penalty provision will be waived, although Vodafone might still have to pay back taxes, with interest thereon.
Whether that will be enough to sustain foreign investors’ interest in the Indian market will be on test, but the Nifty futures market is the relative outperformer this morning, which says something.
Even so, given that risk aversion runs high today – and the rupee’s slide of recent days has impacted returns – we’re probably looking at sharp losses when markets open in Mumbai today.

BEAR MARKET PREVAILS,NIFTY GIVES WAY Policy paralysis seems to be eating away the growth cycle recently picked up due to the sincere   efforts on the part of the govt coupled with well timed action by RBI which deemed fit to slash repo and CRR.   The depth in the market is deepening with every trading session .   Premiums in both NIFTY FUTURE and NIFTY OPTION are fast disappearing with discounts sneaking into it vigorously.   The NIFTY sunk below 5600 for the first time since November 23, 2012.   That was the first time that the Nifty actually flirted with the 200 day moving average (DMA).   Now it’s a big question that “is the NIFTY and midcap index which has outsmarted NIFTY in falling fast, replicating the trading pattern similar to 2008.   THE 200 DMA—KEY SUPPORT If one peeps into the recent past, one can get to know that the Nifty has not gone below 200 DMA on a closing basis.   In 2008, also the similar trend where midcaps ...

FII, QFI, NRI AND FVCI TO COME IN SINGLE WINDOW—STOCK MARKET TO EXPAND         It is like imaging a world without borders where FII is equal to NRI is equal to FVCI which together will form QFI. The only discrimination is between portfolio investment and non portfolio investment.   Though it appears utopian scheme; however if Finance Minister P. Chidambaram is to be believed this dream could be soon a reality.   Stock market will gain massively from this development and nifty will witness a quintenessial inflow of fund.   The intraday traders in nifty future and nifty option will see a new age of investment.   Marching ahead in the stock market momentum, two committees have been set up to map the mirage.   One committee under the former cabinet secretary to look at harmonizing portfolio investment routes—and another by the finance ministry under the economic affair secretary to define what distinguishes FDI and...

NIFTY RANGEBOUND—STOCK MARKET DIRECTIONLESS The stock market appears to halt at a tri-junction with no absolute clue about where to move.   CNX IT, however did manage to bounce back for two days but it is clearly looking like more of an bounce back when intraday indicators were slightly oversold and the index kind of manage to hold on for couple of days.   It recorded about 100 to 150 pointy kind of a bounce back.   The chart analysis indicates some crucial movement from here.   The nifty future might see a upward swing after a sharp correction.         Notwithstanding the fact, this kind of a decline was not expected.   For Infosys, 2150 is an important weekly closing pivot that could be a good target for it.   In fact, that is something which Intradaytrading software looks for making a pretty sure intraday trade in the stock.         The technical analysis of the ni...
