Shares of Pfizer gained by a percent to Rs721 as reports stated that the company has emerged as the frontrunner to acquire RFCL’s animal health unit, Vetnex, in a deal estimated ~Rs2.5bn. The scrip touched an intra-day high of Rs750 and a low of Rs711 and recorded volumes of over 16,000 shares on BSE.
Today,the key indices are likely to open a tad higher given the modest gains in some Asian markets and flat finish on Wall Street. There are many screens to watch these days from the trading screen to the elections and of course the latest on what few would understand- swine flu. Before the market takes a big break, we are in for a volatile session as traders weigh their moves in the F&O segment today. The uncertainty surrounding Lok Sabha elections and anxiety over the banks’ stress test results in the US may keep a lid on gains. Nagging concerns over the swine flu outbreak and its impact on the tentative global recovery will keep the bulls in check.
The Indian stock market will be shut on Thursday and Friday for elections and Maharashtra Day, respectively. Most players would prefer to stay nimble to mitigate potential risks from any untoward development over the long weekend. Some short-covering led advance if it happens is unlikely to go too far. Remain guarded as the relief rally may soon run out of gas, especially if there is no incremental good news.
After a sharp correction, markets may turn volatile on account of F&O expiry. All the possible good news is already in the price. And, we are only talking about tentative signs of improvement. Traders and investors would turn cautious as the week is yet again truncated.
Despite all the big gains, the market environment remains ever so fragile. It took just one bad news about a possible flu epidemic to rock investors’ confidence worldwide. But, India managed to emerge largely unscathed from the global scare over the spread of swine flu. Still, there is no scope for any complacency. We’ve already had a sharp rally. In fact, the Indian market has outperformed major world indices. There hasn’t been any meaningful correction either.

Shares of 3i Infotech rallied by over 5% to Rs44 after the revenue for the quarter was Rs6.10bn, a growth of 73.4% from the corresponding quarter of the previous year

FIIs were net buyers in the cash segment on Friday at Rs5.77bn (provisional) while the local institutions were net buyers of just Rs153.1mn. In the F&O segment, the foreign funds were net sellers at Rs494.5mn. On Thursday, FIIs poured in Rs3.11bn in the cash segment. Mutual Funds pumped in Rs4.6bn on the same day.
Today, there could be some easing as Asian stock benchmarks (barring Nikkei) are in the red. US stocks gained on Friday, spurred by better-than-expected results by Ford and encouraging data on new home sales. European shares too posted strong gains. The SGX Nifty in Singapore was last seen down a little less than 1%.
Patience always pays whether its markets or life. Those who were patient enough to endure last year’s crash have reaped a rich harvest in the past month and a half. There are many who have missed the relief rally and are keen to cash in on the upswing. But, they should be careful as the advance may not sustain for too long. So, lock in some gains and wait for better opportunities when there is a fresh correction.
However, a short squeeze is not ruled out ahead of Wednesday’s F&O expiry, which could take the key indices further up. The overall mood is likely to remain upbeat. Markets are shut on Thursday and Friday. Election fever remains high with three more rounds still to go.
