Belt tightening talk weighs on market

US Federal Reserve hiking the discount rate and talks of rolling back the stimulus in the Union Budget back home pares early-week gains on domestic indices. 

Indian markets trimmed the gains towards the end of the week after US Federal Reserve unexpectedly hiked the discount rate and on fears that the Indian government may withdraw some of the stimulus package in the forthcoming Union Budget 2010-11 (upcoming Friday, February 26, 2010) coupled with continuous selling in realty stocks. Swinging 469 points during the week, the Sensex? reading on Friday close was 16191.63, 0.24% higher over the previous week?s reading and Nifty closed at 4848, 0.37% up.

Healthcare stocks gave the best returns for the week with the BSE HC up by 1.87%. Banking and Information technology (IT) scrips also did well with the BSE Bankex and BSE IT up by 1% each. On the obverse side, realty and tech bourses did poorly with the BSE Realty down by 5.75% and the BSE Teck down by 1.12%.

We see the markets remaining volatile in the coming week on the Railway Budget (due on coming Wednesday, February 24, 2010) and the Union Budget 2010-11 (on Friday, February 26, 2010). The budget announcements will weigh on market trend in the near future.
