Indian stock market and companies daily report (January 11, 2012, Wednesday)


Indian markets are expected to open in green taking cues from positive opening in most of the Asian markets today and firm closing in most of the global markets on Tuesday. The Indian markets ended higher yesterday on the back of positive global cues and renewed hopes of a CRR cut later this month. A decision by global ratings agency Moody's to upgrade India's rating to investment grade and reports showing an impressive 56% rise in FDI inflows in November helped revive appetite for riskier assets.
Globally, most of the US and European markets closed in green yesterday as a weaker US currency helped drive up the price of oil, other dollar-denominated commodities and resource stocks. Also, an announcement by the rating agency Fitch that a downgrade of the creditworthiness of France from the top credit rating of "AAA" within a year is not expected provided a boost to the market. The markets this week will be closely watching out from IIP numbers and Infosys results which will be released on January 12, 2012.

Markets Today
The trend deciding level for the day is 16,081/4,825 levels. If NIFTY trades above this level during the first half-an-hour of trade then we may witness a further rally up to 16,265–16,364/4,881– 4,912 levels. However, if NIFTY trades below 16,081/4,825 levels for the first half-an-hour of trade then it may correct up to 15,982–15,799/4,793–4,737 levels.

FDI equity inflows up 56% in November 2011 after two slack months
Indicating a positive investor sentiment amidst the ongoing macroeconomic concerns, FDI equity inflows into India increased by 56% to US$2.53bn in November 2011. According to officials, cumulative flows for the April-November period stood at US$22.83bn vs. US$19.43bn for FY2011.
FDI equity inflows for the past two months were sluggish, with September and October reporting a 16.5% yoy and 50% yoy decline in inflows, respectively. During FY2011, equity in India witnessed a sharp 25% dip in FDI, from US$25.6bn in FY2010 to US$19.43bn.
Telecom, IT, construction, power, housing and real estate are the major sectors attracting FDI, and Mauritius, Singapore, U.S., U.K., Netherlands, Japan, Germany and UAE are the major sources of FDI in India. We believe the pick-up in FDI inflows will have a positive impact on INR in the foreign exchange market.
