Weekly Wrap

Pair Strategy
Long Reliance and Short Nifty
Over the past four months, downbeat market sentiment, concerns over KG-D6 output and implications of the CAG report have resulted in a breakdown in the price ratio between the NSE Nifty and Reliance Industries [currently trading above the Upper Band 2 (mean+ 2nd standard deviation) of 6.56]. With Reliance having the highest weightage in the Nifty, such dispersion from the mean is not justied. Thereby, we expect Reliance to outperform the Nifty in the coming weeks. Further, on the technical front, Reliance is forming an ending diagonal on weekly charts. The current move can be attributed as a downthrust, which is unlikely to extend below the Rs 760 levels. On the other hand, the Nifty has violated key support zone of 5400 in the current week, thereby turning the near term trend to negative. Traders are recommended to keep a SL at 6.7 price ratio.

Market Outlook
Global events clearly overwhelmed the Indian markets. We didnt fall as much as US and European markets but still the fall was quite steep. The carnage was sparked by disappointing economic reports from various parts of the world. But, markets were particularly concerned about the signals coming out of the US. Even the clinching of the crucial US debt ceiling deal failed to lift the gloom. Eurozone was also back in the limelight amid rising Italian and Spanish bond yields. ECB chairmans statements and its move to resume bond purchases of only Portugal and Ireland also had an impact. Going ahead, the US jobs data on Friday will be very important. For the coming week, one must keep an eye on the Fed policy meet and Chinese data. Sentiment for India will continue to be driven by overseas markets in the near term. Trend in fund ows will also be important. Policy action from the Centre or lack of it may also have a role to play. IIP data will be another key moniterable.

Technical View
The global turmoil forced Nifty to violate previous trough of 5,200 which earlier held on quiet well. Weekly chart of Nifty shows formation of descending triangle and currently it is resting at horizontal support line. Any weekly close below 5,200 levels open gateways towards 5,000. But after declining more than 5% this week, Nifty appears to be trading into oversold terrain. With an appearance of hammer on Friday, the probability of trend reversal remains high if we manage a higher opening on Monday.

F&O View
Nifty drifted all the way towards 5,100 on account of weak global cues. Total OI in Nifty is at 26.7mn, adding ~1.8mn shares in Fridays trade. Highest OI for August series in Call & Put now stands at 5,500 & 5,000 respectively. We expect Nifty to take support around 5,100-5,050. On the upside, Nifty could stage a pullback towards its VWAP level, placed at 5,380. The pullback may be led by high beta stocks in the coming week.

Commodity Corner
Base metals
MCX Base metals registered heavy losses this week, with liquidation witnessed across the board. Poor economic data on US front and slowing Chinese demand continued to suppress the metals prices. On manufacturing activity front, China's ofcial purchasing managers' index dipped to 50.7 in July from June's 50.9. In US, the Institute for Supply Managements manufacturing gauge in July dropped 4.4 points to 50.9%, the worst reading since July 2009. Poor consumer spending in US also dented the bullish sentiment. Meanwhile, deal to lift the US debt ceiling has failed to augment the buying sentiment in the complex. Supply issues in Chile were able to limit the losses in Copper prices to a limited extent. The strike at Escondida mine, which produces 7 percent of the world's copper has entered its 13th day. However, BHP Billiton reported that labour talks are in progress and the strike at Escondida copper mine in Chile may resolve soon. Nickel prices declined in tandem with the base metals complex. Lead & Zinc prices declined the most, impacted by oversupply concerns. On price outlook, we advocate to refrain from buying metals at dips, as gloomy economic backdrop on the global front will continue to haunt the metal bulls.

Precious metals
MCX Gold prices registered stupendous gains, supported by uncertainty regarding European debt and a high probability of the debt contagion spreading in to countries like Spain & Italy. Macro economic indicators on the US front continued to convey slowing economic growth, which effectively augmented the safe haven appeal for the yellow metal. Relatively weaker US dollar & Central banks procurement of the metal also supported gold prices. In this respect, South Koreas central bank purchased 25 tons, spending more than $1 billion in its rst gold purchase in more than a decade, joining the trend among central banks to diversify their foreign reserves amid global growth uncertainties. MCX Silver prices traded higher at the beginning of the week, however was not able to sustain gains, as the white metal was inuenced by the liquidation in the industrial metals complex. We continue to remain bullish on the complex and expect Gold prices to reach new life time highs, with the price radar on US$1,700/ounce. Considering the prevalent economic turmoil on both sides of the Atlantic, we advocate buying at moderate dips. Moreover, prices will be buoyed by the anticipated growth in jewellery fabrication and investment demand in India, as we approach the festive season in August & September.

News Recap

World markets in turmoil on growth jitters

Equity markets across the globe went into a tailspin, as panicky investors scurried for cover amid fears that the US economy was slowing down and the eurozone credit crisis will deteriorate. The selloff across world markets came despite the US Congress clearing a crucial legislation to lift the debt ceiling before the Aug. 2 deadline. The undertone was hit by a series of downbeat economic reports pointing to a deceleration in the US economy. Also, Moody's and Fitch warned that US' coveted "AAA" rating was still in danger of being downgraded. Economic data from other pockets of the world too showed moderation in economic activity, especially in the manufacturing space. In addition, yields on Italian and Spanish government bonds jumped amid concerns that the eurozone debt crisis will spread to these two large economies. Grim comments from ECB chairman Jean-Claude Trichet about the state of the eurozone economy didn't help matters either.

Rupee tumbles to 5-week low as stocks slide

The rupee plunged to a ve-week low on Friday, and was headed for its biggest weekly loss in seven months, as local stocks joined a global rout amid fears of a steep slowdown in the US and other developed markets. Persistent demand for dollars from domestic oil companies for Iran payments also weighed on the partially-convertible Indian currency. The rupee touched 44.8550, the weakest level since June 29.

PM panel sees FY12 GDP at 8.2%

India's economy would grow by 8.2% in the current scal year while ination is projected to be at 6.5% by the end of March 2012, the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council (PMEAC) said. The agriculture sector is projected to grow at 3.0% in FY12 while industry is likely to expand by 7.1% and services by 10%. India must increase the rate of xed asset investment to maintain a healthy GDP growth rate of 9%, PMEAC Chairman and former RBI Governor Dr. C. Rangarajan said.
