TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Rally emerges.

Market Outlook: Indian markets are expected to open in a positive zone and trade flat on the back of constructive cues from the global peers. On the global space Wall Street gains as concern on Greece debt crisis eased and Asian markets trading higher; Nikkei, Hang Seng up. The monsoons this time are expected to be below normal for the second time in three years. The government has just announced that the June-September rainfall will be at 95% of the long period average. Quite clearly, not a very positive news for inflation forecasters because after almost 2 years of double digit inflation in food articles. On the overall basis we expect Indian market trade on cautious note with support near 5190-5220 and any positive breakout would be expected only after 5420.

Global events to watch for:

Þ FHFA House Price Index.

Þ FOMC Meeting Announcement.

TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Rally emerges.

Matters were proceeding along relatively smoothly, albeit sluggishly, for the recovery process when the pledged shares matter of Kumar's hit the news. This was enough for traders to pull the rug under any stock where the promoter was known to have either borrowed heavily or pledged shares. Stocks fell across a wider front but fortunately, these were all non-index stocks and hence the nifty was spared the ignominy of another decline. But sentiment was damaged nevertheless. One other difference was that SKumar bounced back pretty quickly after the management came forth with some explanations. This was distinctly different from GTL experience of earlier day. But in any case, the market seems to be now over reacting to these kind of inputs. Time to distance yourself from the action of the masses. Avoid following these herd-like movements that happen during the day. They will end in losses most of the time.


On GTL, some new thoughts. We found out that the 16% FII holding is all amongst rather dubious names and hence quite likely to be friends of the promoter type holdings. Another, more damaging find was that the promoters have been selling stock non stop for the past 6 months or so. Check the Bse/nse website for details on this. On the Futures side, we find that about 10-12K contracts of OI has been rolling constantly. Assuming that much of this is arbitrage positions and considering the possibility that no one may really want to roll this to the next month, we could see the arbitrage position coming for a sell on expiry day (vwap). It is therefore quite probable that the stock could drop ahead of it and all the way into expiry. Stock could very well be trading at 80 levels or lower by then. Like we said yesterday, this is a permanent short on all rallies.


We saw some shift in the option trading pattern yesterday. Call additions were quite limited. On the other hand 5200 Put saw some substantial additions. Could be some sort of an end to the decline here? Maybe.

Nifty staying above 5280 almost all thru the day is to be considered a positive. The pivot for today is at 5290. The range for the month is almost created so maybe we will not see new lows during this month. June is a quarter ending and we do see the usual NAV ramping activity and that can be expected in the next week and should certainly shore up the prices. So, even though we did mention the lower targets etc in yesterday's letter, let us look upon it as a possibility for the next month.


Bank Nifty continues to fare decently although it took a hit down towards the later part of the day. It is again at a critical stage at 10460. if it survives here then it could even succeed in pulling the nifty out of the hole. But if it gives way beneath 10400 then it might add to the pressure that the nifty already faces. IT stocks are not too badly off after the slamming of the last few days. If they rise then it could be another positive trigger for the nifty.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: Situation is a bit neutral for today. We have to watch which way the wind blows before deciding to act. Look at both Nifty as well as Bank nifty. Check out leader stocks for strength as that is needed for the market to get back on its feet again. Without this, all attempts may remain small and easily repelled. Trade cautiously and use nearby stops.
