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.

Trading Is a Game of Anticipation, Not Reaction

By
Every trader is there in the markets trying hard to earn maximum money . But most traders are only making impulsive moves in entering and exiting the markets out of anxiety or impatience. They try to jump the cart , and take either early entry or late entry.Most traders think that the more number of time they take trades the more they are going to earn . It is not like this . The markets are to be understood properly, like its dynamics. The trader feels how he can use his time spent sitting in the markets to the best use, so he tends to be overactive or over trades. once you get to understand the market dynamics then only take suitable trades and that too when the setup is fully confirmed. This would at least lead to best probability in your trades. In fact there is always more sense in studying the weekly and the daily charts which most of the intraday traders miss to do and they are only starting the day and looking for the buy sell signals haphazardly, and looking for entries. ...

Tracking Nifty for the

By
The Indian benchmarks ended on a weak note on March 13, 2013, when they closed near to the low point of the day. There was liquidation of long positions by traders as there was no follow up buying support from institutions. Again conflicting economic indicators is keeping investors on the tenterhooks. Industrial output in January was better than expected at 2.4 percent, but consumer inflation continued to be above 10 percent, underscoring the problems in the economy. Investors also refrained from taking aggressive positions ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's mid-quarter policy review scheduled next week. These led the Sensex to close at the level of 19362.55 i.e. down by 202.37 points and the Nifty to close at the level of 5851.2 i.e. down by 62.90 points. The midcap index and the small-cap index closed in red with the loss of one percentage point and one and a quarter of a percentage point respectively. On the sectoral front, all the indices, excepting one sectoral i...
