Views on markets today
· Indian markets snap their three-day losing streak and closed positive yesterday after markets reversed early losses and spurted in late trade as investors cheered improved trade data and easing of inflation in October 2010, shrugging off the weakness in global markets. Banks stocks led the gain as investors placed their bets on improving credit demand. The uptrend was led by buying activities in bank, pharma, IT and auto stocks while some selling pressure was witnessed in real estate and consumer durable stocks capped the markets from major gain.
· Market breadth was however weak at ~0.76x as investors sold small and mid cap stocks. FIIs bought equities worth `3.13bn while domestic institutions sold equities of `3.39Cr.
· Asian markets are lower today following the weak US markets. Japan's Nikkei average inched lower on Tuesday, losing steam after earlier hitting a five-month high, but exporter shares rose on a weaker yen and lent support to the overall market. Hong Kong stocks are negative with sentiment still fragile as investors expect China to implement more measures to curb inflation.
· We expect Indian markets to open lower following the Asian markets. Global investors seem to be cautious ahead of the European worries and anticipated Chinese measures to tighten the economy.
