Views on markets today
· Indian markets ended volatile session on a flat note, with a positive bias yesterday on firm global stocks. Global markets rose on expectations that Ireland will soon accept a bailout package from the European Union and International Monetary Fund. Ease in weekly food and fuel inflation also boosts the sentiment. Reliance Communications and developer Unitech dropped sharply roiled by uncertainty stemming from a possible probe into 2G spectrum allocation, that a government audit says was awarded too cheaply. SKS tumbled 20% after the company warned a collections ordinance enacted last month in Andhra Pradesh state, the heart of India's microfinance sector, could hurt profits.
· Market breadth was weak at ~0.55x as investors sold small and mid cap stocks. FIIs sold equities worth `4.52bn while domestic institutions bought equities of `1.18bn.
· Asian markets are mixed today as the Nikkei is up today while the Hang Seng is down. Japan's Nikkei average climbed to a fresh five-month high above 10,000, propelled by hedge fund inflows from overseas and getting additional support from a fall in the yen. Hong Kong shares declined early Friday despite strong overnight gains on Wall Street, amid reports that China might raise interest rates as early as Friday to cool inflation.
· We expect the Indian markets to open cautious amid the political uncertainties and global cues. However, declining inflation is a relief factor, which may provide some support to the markets.
