Nifty faces resistance at 5730

Nifty faces a resistance at 5730 during the trade today. After a good rally during the last two days which has added around 200 points to Nifty seems fizzling today. After a small gap up at 5780.65, Nifty moved higher and it was expected that Nifty will face a resistance around 5740 or 5750 which is supposed to be the immediate resistance. But before that the Nifty faces a resistance below these levels and made a high of 5732.15 in early trade. After the high of 5732.15, Nifty tries 2-3 times during the day to cross this level and try to meet 5740 but it is sold out below that levels. Nifty made a lower highs during the day which is a weak signals. Considering the weakness, we had also given a sell call in Nifty at 5720 with a target of 5680. Immediate after our call the Nifty slide and touched a low of 5669 which was much lower to our expectation, which again shows a weakness in the market. We had given the call around 12:50.
After making a low, Nifty showed a recovery and managed to go up to 5725 again but again fell to close flat at 5688.70. Sensex also closed in red.
Today Midcap stocks showed some buying and Midcap closed in green. In view of the chart analysis, it can be said that tomorrow Nifty can slide further and find a new base where from it can bounce back. We had already made a strong support of 5500. But this is too deep. So if Nifty wants to go further up, it has to make another base which should be any levels around to 5600 or 5650.
Traders are advised not to take any long positions in any stock till Nifty gives another sign of going up. This is advised because the global markets are now coming to correction and many hedge funds in US and Europe had suffered heavy losses in Gold bets! The effect of Gold turmoil can be seen in the next few trading sessions and how serious is the effect, no body can say except the time!
Tomorrow's strategy should be to avoid long positions in Nifty. Short Nifty if it trades below 5670 with a target of 5610 which is the support in our view.
As per the data sheets, today is a long list of stocks where long unwinding has taken place.

China's Manufacturing data shows good indications

China’s manufacturing expended at a faster pace last month, indicating a recovery in the world’s second-largest economy is sustaining momentum. (As per Bloomberg report)
The Purchasing Managers’ Index was 50.9, the National Bureau of Statistics and China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said today in Beijing, an 11-month high and up from 50.1 in February. A separate gauge from HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics rose to 51.6 in
A pickup in manufacturing will help the new government under Premier Li Keqiang sustain a rebound after factory output had the weakest January-February growth since 2009 and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. questioned the strength of exports. Faster expansion may also fuel inflation, spurring tighter monetary policy from the central bank.
“We are clearly in a lot better state than we were at the end of last year,” Alistair Thornton, a Beijing-based economist at researcher IHS Inc., said in a Bloomberg Television interview, terming the momentum “modest.” At the same time, the economy faces “fairly large headwinds” including property curbs and tighter supervision of so-called shadow banking, he said.
The surveys compare with a quarterly report showing confidence among big Japanese manufacturers improved by less than economists estimated. Another HSBC survey showed South Korea’s manufacturing expanded at a faster pace in March.
China’s largest cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, tightened rules on home purchases, effective yesterday, after the central government called for stepped-up efforts to cool the property market. The nation’s banking regulator told lenders last week to limit investments of client funds in debt that isn’t publicly traded and to isolate such risks from their operations.
Economic growth may have accelerated for a second quarter to 8.1 percent in the first three months of this year, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey last month.

Market may open lower

After a long holidays, the Indian markets are opening today. The market has to begin a new April series today. It is expected to see some good upside in this series as this will be the month of companies' results. Since the companies are doing well in their performance as observed in last 2 quarters, this result will also be good as compared to the previous results.
But since the market was down in March and the market capitalization is lost around 30-35% due to the bearish sentiment, this type of bearishness would continue, atleast for some days in this week.
Today the Asian markets are down, it is expected that the Indian markets will open gap down. Some nervousness from political front will also add the negative sentiments till the political picture is clear.
Traders are expected to watch the market careful and trade accordingly. Some midcap stocks will start picking momentum, especially consumer goods segments as this sector do good when the market sentiment is nervous.

10% price limits for Essar Oil, Suzlon, Educomp & Core Edu



BSE and NSE have put a price band of 10 per cent on share movements of four firms – Essar Oil, Suzlon Energy, Educomp and CORE Education – as part of preventive surveillance measures.
The price band will be applicable for trading in the four stocks with effect from April 2. The decision to limit any upward or downward movement in their share prices to a maximum of 10 per cent has been taken by the the stock exchanges in consultation with market regulator Sebi.
In separate notices, NSE and BSE said that a fixed price band of 10 per cent on these four stocks is being imposed as part of a "preventive surveillance measure and to ensure market safety and safeguard the interest of the investors".
The decision was taken in consultation with market regulator Securities and Exchange Board (Sebi), and the action will be reviewed periodically, they added.
With an aim to prevent any systemic risks arising out of erroneous trades or stock manipulations, the market regulator Sebi late last year asked the stock exchanges to put in place a system for 'dynamic price bands'.
These dynamic price bands, which are generally referred to as dummy filters or operating range, prevent acceptance of orders for execution that are placed beyond the price limits set by the stock exchanges.

India a good destiny for Intestment - E&Y

Favourable demographics and growth opportunities keep India an "attractive" destination for merger and acquisition activities across diverse sectors including consumer goods and pharmaceuticals, according to global consultancy Ernst & Young.

 "Catering to a growing, expanding and spending population is what every organisation wants to do. So there is a lot of interest from outside India to come inbound," E&Y Global Vice Chair (Transaction Advisory Services) Phillipa McCrostie told PTI in an interview.

 "I don't think India's growth is based on one factor or bubble that has evaporated and gone away. It is exciting time in India for M&A growth," she said.

Gujarat industrial players get relief from green cess

As per the news published in Business Starndard, Major industrial players from the state have got relief from the Gujarat High Court which has held that the Green Cess Act, 2011, enacted to generate funds to promote clean energy, was unconstitutional and declared it as void.

In a recent decision a division bench of chief justice Bhaskar Bhattacharya and justice J B Pardiwala also issued direction to the state government to refund the cess already collected from the industrial units preferably within four months from the date of receipt of court order copy with simple interest of 8 per cent.

The Act came into force from 2011-12, where by the government aimed to generate funds to promote clean energy by introducing a Green Cess on every unit of conventional electricity generated in Gujarat.

Under the Gujarat Green Cess Act, 2011, Green Cess not exceeding twenty paise per unit was levyed on generation of electricity other than renewable energy for creation of a, fund (Green Envergy Fund) for protecting environment and promoting the generation of electricity through renewable sources in the state of Gujarat.

This would also include electricity generated by captive power plants of companies.

Major industrial players of the state had filed petitions in the High Court last year challenging the constitutional validity of the government's move of collecting cess on every unit of electricity generated in the state.

The companies who had challenged the provisions of the act included, Essar Power, Nirma Ltd, Reliance Industries, Tata Chemicals Ltd, Arvind Ltd, Phillips Carbon Black Ltd and United Phosphorpus Ltd.

The industrial players had contended that the Act provides for levy and collection of cess on generation of electricity, which is exclusively the Union subject contained in Entry 84 to List I of Seventh Schedule. The state government therefore has no competence to enact any law pertaining to such subject, they further claimed.

The companies relied upon 2004 judgement in the Supreme Court case of M P Cement Manufacturers' Association vs State of Madhya Pradesh, wherein it was held that a State was not competent to levy cess as the Parliament had exclusive legislative competence in this respect by virtue of Entry 84 in List I of Schedule 7 of the Constitution of India. It was also held by the court that electricity was "goods" and that the State would have competence to levy tax on the sale and consumption of electricity but could not levy cess on the production of electricity.

The government on its part argued that what is being charged under the act is a fee and not a tax. It further claimed that such cess is collected not for generation of electricity but is merely computed in terms of generation of electricity.

It also justified its competency in levying such cess on the companies.

After hearing the petitioner companies and the respondent state government the judges concluded "the State Act ultra vires the Constitution and the same is therefore, declared void. Resultantly, the Cess levied under the State Act would also stand vitiated."

Apollo introduces new Steer Axle tyre ‘XMR’ for commercial vehicles

Apollo has introduced a new Steer Axle tyre ‘XMR’ in cross ply construction, which is designed for superior mileage and structural durability to deliver best cost of ownership in terms of ‘Total Mileage’; and the total mileage is derived from Initial Tread Mileage (ITM) and Retreaded Tyre Mileage (RTM).
Every step in the creation of the ‘XMR’ is new with highest levels of precision, from the way it was prototyped, manufactured and validated in indoor and outdoor. Tread rib pattern and groove were designed and optimised using ‘thermography’ techniques for the tyre to remain cooler while running and thus extend casing life for multiple retreads. Design considerations were also given for uniform ‘foot pressure distribution’ and to nullify ‘hot spot’ on the ‘tread rib’ & ‘rib groove’ to benefit uniform wear & part worn appearance which are important parameters to decide on timely removal for retreading.

The steer position is the most critical on any HCV and the tyre used on its steer axle position demands highest design precision and manufacturing controls. The service demand from steer tyre is growing exponentially due to developments in vehicle technology and infrastructure improvements compounded by radialisation in drive tyres.

Andhra Bank, SBH to focus on SMEs

Andhra Bank and State Bank of Hyderabad (SBH), the two Hyderabad-headquartered public sector lenders, have promised to provide timely and adequate credit to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) at a bankers conclave held here on Saturday.

SBH has gone a step ahead and declared 2003-14 as the SME year and offered to bring down interest rates to the small businesses. "We will target 60 per cent growth in the SME portfolio next year," said M Bhagavantha Rao, managing director of SBH, while addressing the seminar.

The bank has already brought down the interest rates to SMEs under seven sectors to 11.75 per cent, he said while stating that the management is considering similar relief to more sectors in this bracket.

Andhra Bank chairman and managing director BA Prabhakar said the bank's SME lending this year is expected to post a 25 per cent growth and the sector would continue to be a priority area in the future as well.

"We are pushing more credit to the SME sector also because the large corporates have not been able to absorb the credit," he said. Andhra Bank lending to the SME sector stands at Rs 14,000 crore, which constitutes 20 per cent of the total loan portfolio of the bank, according to him.

ACC acquired Encore Cements

The Hindu reported that Encore Cement and Additives Pvt Ltd a wholly owned subsidiary of ACC Ltd has been amalgamated with the company. The company has a slag grinding unit in Vishakapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. Consequently this unit now renamed Vizag Cement Works would be the 18th cement plant in the ACC network.

In January 2010 ACC had acquired a 100% stake in the equity of Encore Cements and Additives Pvt Ltd which then became a wholly owned subsidiary of ACC. The acquisition helped ACC build its presence in Andhra Pradesh and in the coastal part of neighbouring Orissa.

The amalgamation of Encore Cements and Additives into ACC Ltd would enable that latter to utilise the resources of its former subsidiary to augment its cement business and to bring down the cost of overheads and other common expenses.
