Market Outlook—February 2, 2010

Dealer’s Diary
The benchmark indices closed with marginal gains after a strong intraday rebound that was triggered by upbeat economic data and higher monthly sales from auto majors. The markets recovered with reports that India's exports rose by 9.3% for the second consecutive month, after 13 straight months of decline. Additionally, India's manufacturing sector grew at its fastest pace in almost one to one-and-a-half years in January 2010. The BSE Sensex closed flat, losing a mere 0.01%, while the NSE Nifty was up by 0.4%. The BSE Mid-cap and Smallcap indices outperformed the benchmark indices, with gains of 1.8% and 2.7%, respectively. Among the front-liners, Tata Motors, Wipro, Grasim, M&M and Sun Pharma were up by 3-4%, while HUL, SBI, HDFC Bank, ITC and NTPC were down by 1-3%. In the mid cap segment, REI Six Ten Retail, Titan, Kalpataru Power, Lupin and Bhushan Steel were up by 10-16%, while Simplex Infra, KGN Inds, Future Capital, Infotech Enterprises and Birla Corp were down by 4-8%.
The trend deciding level for the day is 16313/4882 levels. NIFTY trades above this level during the first half-an-hour of trade then we may witness a further rally up to 16465–16575/4937-4974 levels. However, if NIFTY trades below 16313/4882 levels for the first half-an-hour of trade then it may correct up to 16204-16051/4845-4790 levels.
