Dated 2nd March, 2009

Markets managed to end the week in green despite weakness in global markets. Auto stocks lead the pull back. M&M, Tata Motors and Maruti were the top gainers in Nifty. Infosys, ONGC, Tata Communication, NTPC and BHEL were among the other gainers. Ranbaxy was the worst loser losing over a fifth of its market cap in the week. ABB, ACC, PNB, HDFC, SAIL and Zee were the other losers.

Most of the global markets breached October lows and drifted much lower. The outperformance of our markets is not likely to last for long given the bleak global outlook. Asian markets are trading weak and we should expect a gap down opening and the cuts may get much deeper during the course of the week. 2660-2680 is the strong support for Nifty and if it manages to breach this level, the next support comes only at 2520, the RIL-RPL merger not withstanding. Sell at the opening and hold on to short positions.
