Market Outlook - February 25, 2010

Today is the day of February F&O expiry and also the day when the Economic Survey would be released by the Union Government. Tomorrow is the day of the all important Union Budget. The Railway Budget was mostly a non-event except that those companies that were expecting to be affected by a rise in freight rates heaved a sigh of relief since the Railway Minister chose not to hike it anyway.

Our market remained flat; however, the US markets closed nearly one percent up and this morning Asia is a mixed bag with Hong Kong and China are about 0.7% up while some Asian peers are marginally down.

The SGX Feb Nifty is at 4885 and the March Nifty is at 4872.50 as we write this Market Outlook. There are no major indications that barring short covering coming in a big way the Nifty would not attempt another shot at above 4913 range; even if it does it would be rather tough for the index to really clear 4930 - 4950 range. However, first it needs to clear 4891 successfully before those levels since during the last two trading sessions even that level proved a bit too much for the bulls.

On the downside, there is enough support between 4843 and 4824; unless this zone is decisively broken on the downside 4800 put option sellers need not worry much.

While there may be intraday volatility between 4891 - 4915 on the higher side and 4843 - 4824 on the lower side we don't expect any major breakdown or breakout prior to the Union Budget announcement.

We should not be carrying large speculative positions either way before this major announcement.

Notes:
* All prices relate to the NSE, unless otherwise mentioned.
*

Stop-loss levels are given so that there is a level below/above, which the market will tell us that the call has gone wrong. Stop-loss is an essential risk control mechanism; it should always be there.

*

Book, at least, part profits when the prices reach their targets; if you continue to hold on to positions then use trailing stops to lock in your profits.

*

Don't chase a stock, if you are unable to buy a stock because it hits circuit levels on successive days, don't buy that.

* The analyst and his clients may or may not have positions in the securities mentioned above.
*

Trading involves considerable risk. Trade at your own risk to the extent you are comfortable. The analyst shall not be responsible for any losses incurred for acting on these recommendations.
