However, mid-caps continued to be in the top quartile. Top three gainers this fortnight were Taurus Ethical (+3.7%), Canara Robeco Emerging Equities (+1.8%) and Reliance Equity Opportunities (1.8%).

Our Morning call Bhushan Steel at 1426 CLOSE TO TARGET
The stock had been consolidating in a narrow range between Rs1,378-1,310 since last two weeks alongwith the support of 50-DMA. On Wednesday, the stock attempted to break out from the upper-end of this trading range with higher-than-average volumes. From the current level, the stock can only move towards one direction, i.e. upwards. The daily RSI has also given a positive divergence, indicating that price would start moving up after facing stiff resistance around the levels of Rs1,375-1,378 zone. We recommend buy on the stock from the above mentioned technical observations. Maintain a stop loss of Rs1,340 and go long for a target of Rs1,450 in the coming trading sessions.

Pre Market Commentary ...
Today we expect a higher opening. Asian markets are mostly up. US market got a boost from technology space, though the blue chips closed flat. European shares hit 14-month high. With several holidays on the horizon, the market could yet again turn choppy and clueless.While the bulls are eating Christmas cakes, the bears seem to be eating humble pie as the Nifty ended well above 5100 and is now eyeing a new high for 2009. Wednesday’s sudden surge would have taken many by surprise. We reiterate that further short covering is not ruled out ahead of the F&O expiry. Also, some long build-up may take place amid signs that the economy and India Inc. may do better.
But clearly, any rise will not be sustainable in the absence of incremental good news – local as well as global. Rich valuations and concerns on an impending reversal in stimulus steps are among the major headwinds. One should not get carried away by any sharp swings in the near term as the market remains in a consolidation phase.

In the F&O segment, the foreign funds were net buyers at Rs11.97bn. FIIs were net sellers of Rs2.58bn in the cash segment on Monday.
Pre Market Commentary ..
Today, we expect the market to open lower as global cues are pretty inconclusive. The Nifty will continue to trade in a range of 4900-5100. Some short covering is not ruled out in the run up to the F&O expiry. Support is expected to kick in at around 4900. Protecting the gains made so far in the year should be the aim instead of loading up more.If only we knew the unexpected, Christmas season would have brought some cheer. With only five trading sessions to go in 2009, don’t get too perturbed by the market movement.
Overall trend has been extremely lackluster and is unlikely to change dramatically anytime soon. Volume has also dipped as traders and investors alike take a pause after a stellar rally. In the New Year, the market will have plenty to consider like fund flows, quarterly earnings, impending rate hike, reversal of fiscal stimulus, budget and global developments. Stay on the sidelines till then.

Pre Market Commentary ..
Today,we must thank to firm global cues, we expect a higher opening and another choppy day. Can’t call it Christmas shopping, though! On the whole, the current lackluster trend is expected to continue. The Nifty will find some support and could surpass the 5000 mark again. The near-term trading range may be between 4900-5100. The right thing appears to be really on a long holiday. The key indices have gone nowhere in the past 3-4 weeks and the trend has been extremely dull.
Traded volume too has tapered off and is likely to remain low in the face of the upcoming holidays.Volatility will prevail given the murky outlook and F&O expiry next week. Stock centric action will continue based on the news flow. Short term traders are likely to take profit at every rise. A major break down is ruled out for now but avoid risky bets. Don’t read too much into what goes in the market these days as bulls and bears both seem to be lacking conviction.

Pri Market Commentary ...
Today, the outlook is a flat to tad higher opening. Asian markets are mixed. US market got a boost from technology on Friday. Banks pulled down Europe. Christmas is upon us, and the countdown to 2010 has begun. After a stellar year for equities (following a disastrous 2008), some fatigue has set in. So, a wait-and-watch mode is the order for now. The market will continue to consolidate in the remaining sessions, and perhaps even beyond that. Since there will be two extended weekends, volume could dip and volatility might rise. Overall, the market will be insipid.
The near-term trigger will be how the policymakers execute their ‘exit’ strategies. In India, the fear is for an early reversal in loose money policy given the spike in inflation. Earnings will be watched as well, though the focus is now on FY11. Budget will also have a bearing on sentiment.Dollar’s movement and Fed’s action will be crucial for world markets. Liquidity is not an issue for India, but it is time to be selective.
