Market snaps 9-week winning streak

The market breaks its nine-week-long winning streak on speculation that RBI may hike key interest rates in its upcoming policy review.


Breaching its nine-week-long back-to-back gains, the Indian market ended the holiday-shortened week 2% lower. Below-expectation February index of industrial production (IIP) reading, IRDA?SEBI spat over ULIP offerings by insurance companies and speculation that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may hike key interest rates in its upcoming monetary policy review weighed out positives like Euro zone approving emergency aid mechanism for Greece, encouraging data out of the US, robust economic growth of China, and good earnings by Infosys Technologies and easing inflation back home.

Trading volatile, the Sensex swung 466 points and the Nifty 144 points during the week. The BSE bellwether signed off the week 342 points (1.91%) lower at 17591 and the NSE benchmark 99 points (or 1.85%) down at 5362.

At global front, the US market outperformed the Europe and Asian markets, as Dow Jones surged 1.34% and Nasdaq rose 2.51%. All the major Asian indices except Shanghai Composite (China) closed lower.

Capital goods, oil & gas and banking stocks 
played crucial role in pulling the market down
with the BSE CG, BSE Oil & Gas and BSE Bankex down by 3.28%, 3.25% and 3.14% respectively. Information technology (IT) stocks had a good outing with the BSE IT up by 3.21%.

 

Among ?A? group stocks, Indiabulls Financial surged the most with gains of 10.4%, followed by Godrej Consumer and Titan Industries posting gains of 10.26% and 7.61% respectively. Among losers, Max India fell the most, by 15.68%, followed by Aditya Birla Nuvo and United Spirits that were down by 12.69% and 8.70% respectively.

As per Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) data, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) continued to be the net buyers during the week with a net investment of Rs1,108.1 crore (up to April 15, 2010). However, the data on domestic institutional investors (DIIs) activity was not available.

The market in the coming week may trade volatile ahead of crucial events like RBI?s quarterly monetary policy review scheduled on April 20, 2010 and earnings of heavyweights like Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro and Reliance Industries. Global cues and FII inflows will also play a significant part in deciding the future course of the Indian market.
