Stock Markets Markets - Outlook Government - Politics “The Government winning means that it is no longer stifled by political parties that may not be inclined to reforms.” Our Bureau
Mumbai, July 22 The winning of the trust vote, by the Government, could give a boost to stocks, but that may be short-lived, as the outcome was a foregone conclusion, said traders. This has been evident from the 1500-point gain of the Sensex over four consecutive trading sessions. Tomorrow, the market could see a short upside as an initial reaction, after which it would be back to the basics, said Mr Gaurav Dua, Head of Research, Sharekhan Ltd. On Tuesday, the Sensex gained 254 points, to close at 14,104. Mr Hitendra Dave, Head of Global Markets, HSBC, said the market would see a rally tomorrow: “For a few days fundamentals will be forgotten. Crude is at a low. The market is also at a beaten down level.” Oil prices falling to below $130 a barrel would be another positive. He said there would be a rally in equities and currencies: “The Government winning means that it is no longer stifled by political parties that are not inclined to reforms,” he said. The Sensex and Nifty futures contracts closed at a handsome premium. Sensex future closed at a premium of 57.15 points at 14,161.35 while Nifty Futures closed at a premium of about 9 points at 4249. The turnover in the cash and futures market went up sharply at the NSE; cash at Rs 13,108 crore as compared with Rs 10,640 crore on the previous day, and F&O at Rs 54,100.84 crore (Rs 43,942 crore) The Anil Dhirubahi Ambani Group-owned companies gained between 4.5 and 8 per cent on the BSE.
