Today, we expect the market to open firm in line with the global trend. Thereafter, the key indices’ move will hinge on how the institutions behave. Indian markets will be shut on Thursday for Moharam. So, we do not rule out some softening later in the day. Satyam will continue to hog the limelight ahead of the company's Board meeting on January 10.
The current rebound can be attributed to a growing belief that most bad news is reflected in stock prices. So, one has to look beyond the first few months of the New Year and build a base for the anticipated recovery in the second half. Having said that, the jury is still out on whether the market saw a bottom in October. Experts are divided over whether those lows will be hit again. As a result, the best strategy is to take each day as it comes rather than look too far ahead.
