Markets are crucially poised after closing 2% negative on a weekly basis post sentiment being weakened on a/c of S & P threatening to cut India's Long term rating & TRAI's proposal of 13-fold increase in the base price for auctioning of 2G waves.
Key indices Sensex & Nifty declined by 1.38% & 1.89% apiece respectively for the week while mid-caps & small-caps under-performed by 2.76% & 2.94% respectively compared to last week. Sector-wise IT was top gainer while those proving laggards were Realty, Banking, Metal and Capital Goods.
Global credit agency S&P on wednesday revised its outlook on India's long term credit rating to negative from stable citing a slowdown in investment & economic growth & widening of current account deficit and has resulted in weaker medium term credit outlook.
Also the negative sentiment was further bolstered by TRAI which announced proposal for hiking the base price for auctioning of 2G waves by 13-Fold leading to almost all telecom stocks plumetting.
Market participants would continue to focus on the ongoing quarterly result announcements. Hindustan Unilever unveils its result on 1 May while Bharti Airtel & Hero Motors would announce their results on 2nd may with newest inclusion in Nifty50 i.e bank of Baroda announce to set its results on 4th May.
Keep an eye on Automobile as well as Cement stocks as companies from these sectors will unveil monthly sales data for April 2012 from 2nd May 2012.
FII flows have turned weaker in the Last 45 days after strong inflow for 3 months between 15 Dec 2011 & 15 March 2012 post GAAR issue & Vodafone Tax case. FII's have invested hardly close to 5000 Cr from 15/03/2012 till date compared to total investment of Rs 45000 Cr between Dec 15, 2011 to March 15, 2012.
European Markets remained weaker throughout the week on the back of weaker cues on A/c of prevailing political worries coupled with dismal manufacturing data flowing from China & Euro-Zone. Germany's PMI data shrank at the fastest pace in nearly 3 years in April by falling sharply to 46.4 from 48.3 levels signaling growth slowdown in the economic activity. On the contrary, US markets displayed resilience on a/c of stronger than expected quarterly corporate earnings & upbeat housing data.
INR has weakened tremendously & have been hitting fresh 3 monthly lows @ 52.8 levels. Any slide below 53 would lead to sharp sell-off further in currency as well as other asset classes.
Currently, Nifty Futures are facing selling pressure on all rises & distribution patterns are visible on higher levels. Avoid bottom fishing as further fall is likely.
Nifty Futures faces stiff resistance around 5339-5358 levels. Unless Nifty Futures manages to cross & sustain above 5358, Nifty Futures would oscillate & trade rangebeound between 5148-5358.
Only if 5358 is crossed & sustained with huge volumes, further pullback upto 5475/5535 would be witnessed.
Strong support zone for Nifty Futures lies @ 5148-5156. Any decisive breach of 5148 with volumes would result in capitulation upto 5065/4968 levels.
