Sensex to stay flat after a terrible start to the week
Stocks on Dalal Street are likely to stay flat after a crash
yesterday. The Sensex has breached the key support level of 15,000 and
further fall is not ruled out in the short term. Expect the benchmark
index or the Sensex to flirt with the flat line for most of the day.
Asian markets declined Tuesday on steep overnight losses on Wall
Street, though Japanese and South Korean stocks were down only
modestly after their steep fall Monday. Japan's Nikkei 225 Average was
down 0.3% at 10,242.54, while South Korea's Kospi was recently down
0.2%.
Major U.S. stocks indexes tumbled by the biggest amount in six weeks
Monday as investors grew worried that they have been too quick to bet
on an economic rebound. The Dow fell 186.06, or 2 percent, to
9,135.34, the broader S&P 500 index, fell 24.36, or 2.4 percent, to
979.73.
Realty and Metal stocks which have been the front runners in the
recent rally were affected the most and might be in the line of fire
going forward. Both the sectoral indices gave up nearly 7 percent for
the day. IT index was spared and ended down with a loss of 2.7
percent.
Expect IT stocks to lead the fall today after a poor performance from
the Nasdaq on Wall Street. DLF and Unitech led the losers list
followed by Hindalco and Sterlite Ind. We advise investors to use any
upswing in these stocks to book profits or cut holdings as we believe
that there is futher room for a fall. The breadth of the market was so
poor yesterday that, there were on gainers in the Nifty Fifty space.
We have been recommending Midcap space as a way to outperform the
index. We would like to revise our perspective and advise investors to
exit midcaps on any rise in the stocks. Avoid this space for the next
few weeks. There is strong possibility of
a flat open and may be a 30 to 50 point bounce in the index. We do not
recommend investors to jump in to the market and buy the dips, as we
believe there is some more room for the stocks to pull back.
"USE EVERY RISE TO BOOK PROFITS"
"ALWAYS KEEP STRICT STOPLOSS TO AVOID HUGE LOSS"
