But cracks in the two main national coalitions have raised fears that a "Third Front" could tip the balance of power, which market watchers believe could pull down stocks by between 15 to 30 per cent from current levels.

"Developments in politics seem to be increasing the probability of very fragmented parliament, which could spoil chances for a post-election recovery in markets as well," Morgan Stanley analyst Ridham Desai said in a recent note.

The benchmark 30-share BSE index fell more than 52 per cent in 2008, a record fall, and lost ground at the start of 2009. The index looks to have found a footing since early March, rising 9 per cent in the month on hopes the worst may have passed for the world economy.

19/3/09 - BSE, NSE surpasses key psycological checkpoints (levels)

After a firm opening taking cues from global shores, investors took to profit booking at higher levels. Sentiment worsened after inflation eased close to zero -- a sharp slide towards deflationary territory. The annual rate of inflation fell by as much as 200 basis points to a historic low of 0.44 percent for the week ended March 7 against 2.43 percent for the week before.

However, the silver lining to the fall in inflation rate was that the central bank may take some steps soon to help lower the cost of credit for the corporate sector and push demand, which helped lift sentiment. A positive opening on the European bourses also lent support.

On the upside, the index faces resistance around 2800-2830 levels while the support is around 2750-2740 levels. If the Nifty falls below 2750, then a correction right upto 2675 seems possible,” said Manas Jaiswal, senior technical analyst at Emkay Shares and Stock Brokers.

National Stock Exchange’s Nifty ended above the crucial level of 2800; at 2807.15, up 0.45 per cent or 12.85 points. The index moved in a range of 2822.25 and 2771.35.
