Oct 24 - Blood Bath at SENSEX - Down 1070 pts

Investors will remember October 24, 2008 as the bloody Friday as Indian stock markets were seen all in red through out the day.

In one of the worst trading sessions, investors helplessly saw their Investments being wiped out. Those who were praying for a pull-back were left in the lurch as determined bears tore the market apart.
The gains of the four-year bull-run were lost in just eight months. The biggest damage being suffered in last one month, with the indices losing over 36 per cent

For traders, it was a nightmare as red blips flashed on their terminals. The bear onslaught saw their stop-losses getting triggered. The party on the Dalal Street is over, but few would have expected such a savage end where share prices of blue-eyed large cap companies were reduced to that of smallcaps. Reliance Industries and ONGC were down 16.44 per cent and 15.01 per cent respectively.

Indian equities were the worst performers. Bombay Stock Exchange’s Sensex plunged 11 per cent or 1070.63 points to close at 8,701.07. The index touched a low of 8566.82.

National Stock Exchange’s Nifty ended at 2584, down 12.20 per cent or 359.15 points. The broader index touched a low of 2525.05.

DLF (-23.96%), Ranbaxy Laboratories (-17.83%), Hindalco Industries (-17.82%), Tata Motors (-16.54%), Reliance Industries (-16.44%) and Mahindra & Mahindra (-16.04%) were the worst hit.

BSE Midcap closed 8.38 per cent lower and BSE Smallcap Index ended 7.66 per cent down. The BSE Realty Index slumped 24.39 per cent and BSE Oil & Gas Index lost 14.97 per cent.

Market breadth on BSE collapsed with 1835 declines against 247 advances.

“Markets have fallen too much and moving up will take some time. It can’t be said as of now whether the correction is over. Though we are in an oversold zone, news from the US markets and liquidity flows will govern the market,” said Dipen Shah, vice-president, private client group of Kotak Securities.

However, this doesn’t seem to be the end of catastrophic fall on the Indian bourses. US stock futures hit lower circuit Friday an hour and half before the market opens. The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures slipped 550 points, or 6.27 percent and Standard & Poor's 500 futures shed 60 points or 6.56 per cent.

Earlier in the day, Japan’s Nikkei 225 ended -9.60 per cent lower, Kospi fell 10.57 per cent and Hang Seng declined 8.30 per cent.

European markets also witnessed sharp correction. FTSE 100 was down 8.96 per cent, CAC 40 was down 8.90 per cent and DAX plunged 9.58 per cent.

Shah’s advice to investors is to not panic and sell out everything. “There are still fundamentally sound stocks available at attractive levels. Good quality stocks in largecaps should not be sold and must be accumulated with medium to long term view.

Markets opened with a sharp cut but caved in after the Reserve Bank of India announced its half-yearly economic policy review, wherein it left policy rates and reserve ratios unchanged.

The central bank revised lower GDP growth target to 7.5-8.0 per cent from 8.0 per cent earlier but maintained the inflation target at 7 per cent for FY09.
The revision in GDP growth forecasts led to panic among investors, already shaken by the relentless sell-off by foreign funds. There were market reports that long only funds and domestic institutions were too on sell-side.

9 june - Sensex Down 500 pts - Oil reaches $140 / barrel mark

Online Share trading guide

June 9 - Share prices in India fell to their lowest levels so far this year on Monday, following a sell-off in global markets, crude oil inching closer to the $140 mark over the weekend, and amid talk it would touch $150/barrel sooner rather than later.

US markets fell sharply on Friday, and Asia followed suit Monday, as concerns about the health of the US economy resurfaced after data showed unemployment increased. But stocks on Dalal Street were the worst performers
across the globe as domestic concerns weighed and talk of Indian markets in a 'bear phase' spooked participants.

Even longer-term investors, already rattled by last week's slide, were quick to liquidate positions, following a similar pattern among foreign institutions.

"Indian investors get weak in the knees when FIIs start selling. The fundamentals are not the same as they were a few months back, and people are starting to believe the bear phase is actually here. We are largely under performing other markets because our economy is comparatively more sensitive to the rise in oil," said Viral Doshi, independent technical and derivatives analyst.

"I think the selling will continue. I don't expect to see any support coming in before Nifty reaches 4300 - the 38.2% retracement level from the January 2008 high to the March 2003 bottom," Doshi added.

National Stock Exchange's Nifty closed at 4500.95, down 127 points or 2.74 per cent from Friday's close. Intraday, it fell to a low of 4411.60--also the low so far in 2008.

Bombay Stock Exchange's Sensex plunged 506 points or 3.25 per cent to 15,066.10, off the low of 14,846.18. The high was 15,202.74.

Mid-and small-cap stocks were not spared either. BSE Mid-cap and Small-cap indices ended down 2.83 per cent and 3.63 per cent, respectively.

Ranbaxy Laboratories (up 3.87%), Reliance Communications (1.34%), Hindalco Industries (0.2%) were the only gainers in the 30-share Sensex.

Among the index losers, Jaiparakash Associates (down 8.65%), DLF (7.39%), ONGC (7.02%), HDFC (5.99%), Reliance Infrastructure (5.65%) and Wipro (4.85%) were severely beaten down.

Realty stocks were hit the hardest as increasing probability of a slowdown in the sector, rising input costs and little chances of interest rate softening weighed on sentiment.

Being a high-beta sector, when the overall market sentiment is weak, real estate stocks tend to perform very poorly, said analysts tracking real estate sector.

BSE Realty Index shed a massive 7.38 per cent with industry leaders DLF hitting a life low of Rs 475 and Unitech plunging to 52-week low of Rs 183.05. Other realty counters Akruti City (6.72%), Anant Raj Industries (5.55%), Ansal Infrastructure (8.1%), HDIL (8.81%) and Indiabulls Realty (6.06%) were also beaten down.

BSE Healthcare Index edged higher in the afternoon as investors chose to place their bets on the defensive sector. Ranbaxy rose 3.87 per cent sending the BSE Healthcare Index up 0.53 per cent. Other sectoral gainers comprised Lupin Laboratories (8.05%), Nicholas Piramal (up 2.89%) and Sun Pharmaceuticals (2.72%).

Market breadth was negative, with 2,170 declines and 474 advances on BSE.
