Market Outlook—February 6, 2010


Dealer’s Diary
The benchmark indices opened gap down, following the global meltdown triggered by mounting concerns over European debt crisis, indications of weak US job data and a crash in commodity and energy prices. However, the market recovered from lower levels in mid-morning trade but fresh selling at every small rise pulled the market near day's low in early afternoon trade. A weak start from European markets triggered a sell-off on the bourses in mid-afternoon trade. Sustained selling pressure in pivotals kept the market depressed in late trade. The market breadth was extremely weak. The BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty fell by 2.7% and 2.6% respectively. The BSE Mid-cap and Small-cap indices were down 2.6% and 3.2% respectively. Among the frontliners, Tata Power was up by 1%, while Hindalco Industries, Tata Steel, ONGC, Jaiprakash Associates and M&M were down by 4-6%. In the Mid-cap segment Torrent Pharma, United Breweries, KGN Industries, Godrej Consumer and Kirloskar Oil were up by 3-5%, while Jai Corp, National Fertilizer, Bombay Dyeing, Jagran Prakashan and Shriram Transport were down by 7-9%.
The trend deciding level for the day is 15913/4746 levels. NIFTY trades above this level during the first half-an-hour of trade then we may witness a further rally up to 16101–16410/4800–4881 levels. However, if NIFTY trades below 15913/4746 levels for the first half-an-hour of trade then it may correct up to15603-15416/4665–4611 levels.
